Ven’dinui at Mando
The Resol’nare, the six tenants of being Mandalorian, states that to be Mandalorian one must “Contribute to the Clan’s Welfare”. To that end, our philosophy of the Marketplace is Ven’dinui at Mando or “We give to the Mandalorians”.
The Marketplace is not a public store front:
The MMCC Member Marketplace is part of the Mando Mercs Costume Club (MMCC) which includes MMCC International, Regions, and Clans. Its purpose is to facilitate the safe collection of donations for certain forum membership levels, and receipt of donations by our members to the club. As such all Rules, Regulations, Policies, and Procedures that govern the club and it's members, as found on the forums, are in full effect here and in all dealing with the Marketplace and it's staff.
You must be a member of the MMCC:
In order to place a transaction here you must be, at minimum, a forum member of the MMCC. By Registering with the Marketplace, you will be asked to provide your forum information in order to confirm your level of membership. For further information, please see the Privacy Policy below.
If the MMCC Supply Team cannot verify a member marketplacet account holder’s forum account, or the member marketplace registration information is incorrectly or deliberately left blank, then an MMCC Supply Team representative will reach out to the member marketplace account holder via email provided in their member marketplace account to fix the errors. If the MMCC Supply Team does not receive a response to their email communication attempts within 10 days, the MMCC Supply Team reserves the right to assume any transactions made on the unverified member marketplace account are donations to the MMCC and your member marketplace account will be deleted unless the account holder contacts the MMCC Supply Team and instructs them otherwise.
All transactions are considered Donations to the MMCC;
All transactions that occur through the Marketplace are in the form of a donation to the club and in return a gift is sent to you, the club member, as a form of Thank You.
This transaction will be considered a ‘Donation Agreement’ between the member and the Club.
The Marketplace is a Catalog of Gifts:
In the sense that all transactions are donations; the Marketplace is a catalog of gifts that can be chosen for suggested donation levels. If you do not wish to receive a gift, a simple donation can also be given to the club through the appropriate selection.
When wishing to donate to a particular Region or Clan within the Club, the member can choose a gift or donation tab that is associated with that Region or Clan.
There are No Returns on Gifts:
There are no returns on Memberships or Donations. If your chosen gift is unavailable after your donation has been received, a representative will contact you, and another gift may be chosen.
If all gifts are unavailable after donating or if there is no gift that is desirable in exchange for the unavailable gift, then the Quartermaster will review and determine to extend a voucher for possible future gift(s) as part of our ‘Donation Agreement’. This will be applied to your registered account, and is non-transferable. All vouchers are the express purview of the Quartermaster and must have their approval before being granted.
This does not apply to straight donations to the Club, Region, or Clan; only when a gift has been chosen and becomes unavailable.
Shipping of Gifts:
All gifts are shipped from their location of responsibility. Regional or Local gifts are the responsibility of those locations’ representative, the Vera’sol or Vera’lor, and will be shipped by them. Club level gifts are the responsibility of the Quarter Master or their Shipmaster, and will be shipped from their locations.
It is club policy that all responsible parties attend to their shipping, at minimum, every two weeks.
For issues with Shipping and Receiving, we urge you to contact the officer responsible or open a help desk ticket.
Taxes
Mando Mercs Costume Club is a registered 501(c)(10) non-profit organization. Contributions and donations to the Mando Mercs Costume Club are not tax deductible.
“I cannot see the gift…”
The Marketplace is strictly for forum members. If you are not registered and signed into the Marketplace all you will be able to see is Donations.
That being said, just like our club, there are levels to the gifts that you may have access to; items reserved to only for the Order of Ori'ramikad, or for those who have purchased Auxiliary or Supporter Badges, or those who have been verified to be an Official Member.
Levels are determined by your marketplace profile. The information you provided during sign up is manually verified with the forums, and your permissions level set by a member of the supply team. If any information in your profile is incorrect and we cannot verify your profile on the forum; the marketplace profile will be deleted.
Certain gifts are available only to certain membership levels, if you somehow are able to purchase a gift outside of your approved level, that gift will not be sent to you; Thank you for your donation.
The Marketplace’s functionality requires that your browser refreshes its connection to the Marketplace and accepts new Cookies when backend updates have occurred.
If you cannot see the appropriate level:
- Sign out of the Marketplace
- Clear your browser Cache
- Sign Back into the Marketplace
- Suggested: Accept all Cookies
Open a Help Desk Ticket for all Issues:
We ask that all issues with gifts or donations have a help desk ticket logged within the club’s forum here:
https://mandalorianmercs.org/forum/index.php?action=helpdesk;sa=newticket
Issues involving regional or local level gifts will be routed to the Vera’sol or Vera’lor from which the gift originated to be handled by them. All issues involving the club level will be routed to a member of the supply team. While we do monitor the email address on this website, issues sent via email will be directed to submit a helpdesk ticket.
If you have any questions about this policy or need clarification, please use the Help Desk to contact the Customer Service Team.
A Personal Note:

Please understand that we are passionate about our responsibilities and our duties to serve the Club. We strive to provide the best service we can, and ask for your understanding, patience, and grace when issues arise.
