The Collection Manager contains a function to put a card to status "for sale" which doesn't constitute a legally binding offer for a sales or an exchange contract, but rather entables to offer the corresponding cards visibly for everybody at the own MTG Stand to initiate contacts for a trade.
MTG Stands
For every user, upon successful registration, there automatically will be a MTG stand of one's own created to function as a respective supplier. Some of the private information (name, the town/place of residence etc.) of the suppliers, at and upon their choice in the user settings, are represented as well which may be recognizably for the public at the respective MTG stand.
To set up a MTG Stand on the online platform does not constitute a legally binding offer for the conclusion of a sales or exchange contract. It rather is an invitation to make contacts and to negotiate a purchase or exchange, but not more than that.
If a user shows interest in an offer by adding one or several articles into his shopping cart as well as by confirming the purchase process, this would not lead to a legally valid sales or exchange contract but only to an exchange of contact information for the parties involved.
A purchase price needs not to be paid at that time. That is only foreseen later, upon special private agreement between the parties and at terms as the parties agree upon.
