Terms of Service

Last updated: 16 April 2026 · Effective immediately for new subscribers.

Welcome. These Terms are a contract between you and Mr Tayne Rongo trading as Seaqae Group (ABN 40 300 987 116), operator of Cold Case Club ("we", "us", "our"). Using the Service means you accept these Terms.

1. The Service

Cold Case Club is a fictional-mystery subscription. Subscribers receive physical evidence packets by mail at regular intervals and progress through a serialised case. All cases, characters, events, and evidence are works of fiction; any resemblance to real persons or events is coincidental.

2. Subscriptions and Payment

  • Monthly — $14.99 USD/month, billed by Stripe, continues for six months unless you cancel. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
  • Prepaid (Full Case) — $74.99 USD one-time, covers all twelve packets over six months.
  • Gift — $74.99 USD one-time. A redemption code is emailed to the purchaser and remains valid for 12 months.

Prices are in US Dollars and exclude applicable taxes. Payment is processed by Stripe under its own terms. For Australian customers, GST is included at the prevailing rate once we exceed the GST registration threshold.

Auto-renewal disclosure (California SB-313 + equivalent): Monthly subscriptions continue automatically at $14.99 USD/month until cancelled. Cancel anytime in two clicks from your order confirmation email or by emailing hello@coldcaseclub.store. We will send a renewal reminder before each billing cycle.

3. Shipping

Packets ship worldwide. Australia and New Zealand via Australia Post; international via standard airmail. Typical delivery: 5–10 business days domestic, 10–21 business days international. If a packet is lost or damaged in transit, contact us within 30 days of the expected delivery date and we'll replace it free of charge.

4. Refunds and Cancellations

Our Refund Policy sets out your full rights. In summary:

  • 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you don't love your first packet, email us within 30 days of receiving it and we refund every dollar paid, no questions.
  • Monthly subscribers may cancel at any time. Future billing stops immediately; already-billed periods are not prorated.
  • Prepaid subscribers may request a refund of the unused portion at any time during the 6-month case (calculated pro-rata by packets not yet shipped).
  • EU/UK customers: 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 / Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU, starting the day the first packet is delivered.

5. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by agreement. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.

6. International Consumer Rights

The above reservation applies equally to: the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU, the Canadian Consumer Protection Acts, and applicable US state consumer-protection statutes (including California's Song-Beverly and Rosenthal Acts). Statutory rights in your jurisdiction apply in addition to anything written here.

7. Age Requirement

You must be at least 16 years old to purchase a subscription. Our content features fictional crime and mystery themes unsuitable for younger children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13; if we discover we have, we delete it.

8. Intellectual Property

All case files, character names, artwork, photography, code, and text are our property or used under licence. You may photograph evidence you receive and share it on social media — we encourage it. You may not reproduce, commercially distribute, resell, or adapt our materials without written permission.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: resell access to the Service; reverse-engineer our checkout, packet, or server infrastructure; attempt to access other subscribers' accounts or data; use the Service to harass, defame, or impersonate anyone; transmit malware, or use automated scraping tools against our website or API.

10. Privacy and Data

Our Privacy Policy covers how we collect, use, store, and delete your personal information, including your rights under the Australian Privacy Principles, the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and the Canadian PIPEDA.

11. Limitation of Liability

Subject to clauses 5 and 6, our total aggregate liability arising from the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss (including lost opportunity or emotional distress) except where that exclusion is prohibited by applicable consumer-protection law.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified to active subscribers by email at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after that date is acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia. Subject to any non-excludable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction, disputes are to be brought in the courts of Western Australia. If you are a consumer in another country, your mandatory local consumer rights still apply.
