1. About These Terms
These terms of service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of reelraccoonwimb.surf (the "Website"), including our rankings, model guides, collector's guide chapters and interactive comparison tool. By using the Website you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

3. Using Our Website
The Website is free to use for personal, non-commercial purposes. You do not need an account to read our content. You must be at least 13 years old to send us a message through our contact form; younger visitors should ask a parent or guardian to contact us on their behalf.
We may update, suspend or withdraw any part of the Website at any time without notice, for example for maintenance or editorial reasons.
4. Editorial Nature of Content
Reelraccoonwimb is an independent editorial publication. We do not sell, buy, broker or formally appraise model cars, and no contract for the sale of goods is formed with us through the Website.
Our rankings reflect our published methodology (see About) and represent editorial opinion. Racing statistics and model details are researched carefully, but manufacturers change editions, packaging and licences frequently. We cannot guarantee that every detail is complete, current or error-free, and we welcome corrections via our contact page.
5. Indicative Values
All prices and value ranges on the Website are indicative only. They summarise typical secondary-market asking and sold prices at the time of review and depend on condition, production quantity, packaging, edition and market demand.
- Values are not offers, quotations or valuations of any specific item.
- Nothing on the Website is financial, investment or tax advice. Model cars can fall in value as well as rise.
- Always check recent completed sales and, for high-value pieces, consult a specialist dealer or auction house before buying or selling.
6. Comparison Tool
The comparison tool filters a curated set of model editions using the data shown on the Website. Results are provided for convenience and research only. Catalogue availability changes frequently, so verify current editions with the manufacturer or an authorised retailer before purchasing.
