No. The Founding Campaign is planned to run directly through BLACK CAT's own website.

Am I investing in BLACK CAT?

No. Founding Campaign tiers are reward/support packages. They do not provide equity, ownership or financial returns.

When will I receive my products?

TBC once manufacturing and freight schedules are finalised.

What happens if the funding goal isn't reached?

TBC before the campaign opens for real payments. Final campaign terms will clearly explain funding, payment and refund mechanics.

When does Silver VIP start?

Under the current tier structure, Silver VIP begins at the $500 Founding tier.

When does Gold VIP start?

Gold VIP begins at the $2,500 Founding tier.

Is the VIP discount really for life?

The current intention is for applicable Silver and Gold retail VIP benefits to remain active for the lifetime of BLACK CAT, subject to the final Founding VIP Program Terms.

Is Gold wholesale shipping free forever?

No. Eligible approved Gold founding reseller/retailer accounts receive free eligible wholesale shipping for the first 12 months only.

Is the Founder Stockist badge permanent?

Yes — under the current proposal eligible founding stockists retain their Founder recognition permanently.

Does Gold automatically make me a wholesaler?

No. Wholesale/reseller accounts require BLACK CAT approval.

Can I take part as a store or seller?

Yes. The Founding Seller and Gold Founding Stockist tiers are built for card sellers, breakers and Australian local game stores.

The BLACK CAT Founding Campaign

BLACK CAT is a new Perth-born TCG accessories brand. We're building high-quality gear at fair prices alongside the players, collectors, sellers and stores who actually use it. Now we're inviting the community to help fund our first major production run.

Why a BLACK CAT campaign

WecouldbuildBLACKCATbehindcloseddoors.We'dratherbuilditwithyou.

Your support helps put the first production run into motion. Your feedback helps decide what comes next. And if you're one of the people who helps BLACK CAT get started, we want that to mean something long after the Founding Campaign ends.
