TERMS & CONDITIONS.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Vault 6 Studios website (vault6studios.com) and placing an order, you (“Buyer”, “you”) unconditionally agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not place an order or use our services.
These Terms constitute a legally binding contract between you and Vault 6 Studios (“Seller”, “we”, “us”) under the Contracts Act 1950 and are supplemented by the Electronic Commerce Act 2006 (Act 658), which governs the formation of electronic contracts in Malaysia.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you have under mandatory consumer protection legislation, including the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599). Your statutory rights are preserved in full.
2. About Vault 6 Studios
Vault 6 Studios is a private seller of Japanese collectible figures and merchandise, operating within Malaysia. We specialise in authenticated, graded second-hand and new figures from manufacturers including but not limited to Taito, FuRyu, Banpresto, Kotobukiya, Alter, and Good Smile Company.
Vault 6 Studios is not an authorised distributor of any figure manufacturer. All character intellectual property (IP), trademarks, and copyrights referenced in product listings belong to their respective rights holders.
3. Product Listings, Descriptions & Condition Grading
All products are listed with our proprietary 10-point Dispatch Condition Grading System, which represents our honest assessment of each item at the time of listing:
- 10/10 MISB — Mint in Sealed Box; factory seal intact and untampered
- 9/10 MIB — Mint in Box; opened but figure and box are mint
- 8/10 BIB — Displayed Mint; opened for display, mint figure returned to box
- 7/10 Minor Wear — Minor box wear or light surface dust
- 6/10 Moderate Wear — Noticeable box damage or minor scuffs on figure
- 5/10 Loose Mint — No box; figure itself is mint condition
- 4/10 Displayed Imperfect — Missing minor accessories or small visible marks
- 3/10 Damaged — Broken parts or heavy surface scuffs
- 2/10 Heavy Damage — Major broken pieces or missing core components
- 1/10 Battle Scars — Salvaged or heavily damaged; sold for parts/display
Condition grades represent our good-faith assessment. Minor subjective variation in grading is inherent to the second-hand collectibles market and does not constitute misrepresentation. Buyers are encouraged to contact us for additional photos before purchase.
Product photography and descriptions are provided in good faith. Colours may vary slightly due to monitor calibration. Where a discrepancy exists between the listing description and the item received, our Return & Refund Policy applies.
4. Authenticity Grades & Bootleg Disclosure
Each product is assigned one of three Authenticity Grades:
- Verified Authentic: Item has been authenticated by us through physical inspection of manufacturer markings, serial codes, packaging print quality, and material finish consistent with licensed production.
- Authentic but Unverified: Item is believed to be genuine based on available evidence, but has not been subjected to full authentication protocol. Purchased as-is.
- Bootleg: Item is a non-genuine, unlicensed reproduction manufactured by a third party without authorisation from the original IP rights holder. See critical disclosure below.
⚠️ Bootleg Items — Critical Disclosure
Items listed under the Bootleg authenticity grade are openly disclosed as non-licensed, non-genuine merchandise. By purchasing a Bootleg-graded item, you explicitly acknowledge and agree to all of the following:
- The item is not produced, endorsed, or licensed by the original character IP holder, franchise owner, or any authorised manufacturer.
- The item may infringe upon registered trademarks, copyrights, or design rights held by third parties.
- Vault 6 Studios makes no warranty of non-infringement and accepts no liability for any IP-related claim arising from your possession or display of the item.
- You accept full personal responsibility for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction regarding the import, possession, display, or resale of non-genuine goods.
- Bootleg items are sold as collectible display pieces only — not as replacements for or representations of genuine licensed products.
- No quality warranty is given; Bootleg items are sold strictly as-is and are non-returnable except where item received does not match listing description.
Vault 6 Studios complies with the Trade Marks Act 2019 and Copyright Act 1987 of Malaysia. Bootleg items are disclosed transparently and are not represented as genuine products. Buyers in jurisdictions where possession of unlicensed reproductions is prohibited bear sole legal responsibility.
5. Ordering & Contract Formation
In accordance with Section 7 of the Electronic Commerce Act 2006, a binding contract of sale is formed at the point when:
- You submit your order via our checkout and
- Payment is successfully processed and confirmed by Fiuu, and
- We dispatch a written order confirmation via WhatsApp or email.
Placing an item in your cart does not constitute a reservation or binding order. Stock is confirmed only upon payment clearance.
We reserve the right to cancel any order at our sole discretion if: (a) the item is discovered to be damaged after packing; (b) a pricing error has occurred; (c) we suspect fraudulent activity; or (d) the item has been simultaneously sold. In such cases, a full refund will be issued within 3 business days.
