Unless otherwise specified herein, this agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the user and the Company with respect to the Site and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the user and the Company with respect to the Site. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

The Company will endeavor to authenticate and/or grade items within the time frame, if any, offered as part of the applicable Company service. However, the Company will have no liability whatsoever to Customer for incidental or consequential damages due to the Company's failure to authenticate or grade any items within any time frame. All days are business days.
Customer represents and warrants that they have no knowledge and no reasonable basis to believe that any item submitted for authentication or grading is not genuine or contains non-disclosed alterations or restorations, including, but not limited to, any method used to change or enhance the appearance, condition, or content of an item. The Company will not grade items which are of questionable authenticity, and Customer agrees not to knowingly submit any such items to Company. Customer agrees that in the event the Company rejects any items for grading, the Company may not refund the amount paid by Customer because the determination to reject an item requires a review by the Company's graders and authenticators.
Authentication and Grading involves individual judgments that are subjective and require the exercise of professional opinion, which can change from time to time. Therefore, the Company makes no warranty or representation and shall have no liability whatsoever to Customer for the grade assigned by the Company to any item or for the authentication determination by the Company. Partial refunds are at the discretion of the Company once the item begins the authentication and grading process.
The Company will authenticate and grade submitted autographed items, however no claim of authenticity is made to the autograph. Claims of authenticity only apply to the item.
The Company will exercise reasonable care in handling items submitted for authentication, grading, review, or re-encasement. However, if the Company determines that Customer's item was lost or damaged while in the Company's possession, Customer will be compensated based upon the fair market value of the item as determined by the Company's standard procedures, which may include filing a claim with our insurance carrier. The declared value you provided with this submission is for estimating the insurance coverage only, and the fair market value of the item may be less than your declared value. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE DECLARED VALUE OF THE ITEM. Such compensation shall be Customer's exclusive remedy for any loss or damage. The Company reserves the right to decline your Declared Value and to require you to pay for the accurate Service Level as a condition of completing the authentication and grading process.
Customer agrees that it will notify the Company if the Customer knowingly submits an item encapsulated within a case, holder or other protective outer layer that is broken, tampered with, or otherwise defective in any manner. If the Company receives from Customer a case, holder or other protective outer layer that is broken, tampered with, or defective in any matter, regardless of whether or not the Customer knew the case/holder was broken, then the Company shall have no liability whatsoever to Customer, or any third party for whom Customer may be acting, for any further or additional damage that may occur to the case/holder or the item contained therein if the Company opens or otherwise removes the broken or defective case/holder.
In the event the Company, in the Company's sole and absolute opinion, determines that an item within an Company holder is fraudulent, tampered with, or is not accurately described, then the Company is authorized, without further notice to Customer, to remove the item from the holder. In addition, if an item has been previously graded by the Company and placed in a holder, and such item is subsequently damaged due to Customer's lack of care, then the Company reserves the right to remove the item from its holder, and is under no obligation to re-grade such an item.
Customer acknowledges and agrees to exercise reasonable care with regard to any item graded and/or authenticated by the Company, and further acknowledges and agrees items in a Company holder can be damaged and/or destroyed if reasonable care is not exercised (i.e. holders are not waterproof or carry guarantee of UV-resistant).
Customer must inspect all items immediately upon receipt and the Company disclaims any liability for damage or discrepancies or errors, including, but not limited to, errors in the description of the item unless reported to the Company within ten (10) days of Customer's receipt of the item(s). Customer agrees to return any incorrectly described item to Company upon request for correction and agrees to indemnify and hold Company harmless from any and all losses and/or claims caused by the circulation or sale of incorrectly described items.
Customer agrees (a) to pay to the Company all pricing, fees, and other charges when due; (b) that any delinquent balances shall accrue interest at the rate of 1% per month until paid (or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law); and (c) that the Company shall have a security interest in the items submitted, as well as in any other property of Customer in the possession of the Company or its affiliates (collectively, the "Property"), to secure payment of any fees or charges. Customer hereby grants to the Company an assignment of and lien against the Property in the amount of any pricing and other charges due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Customer hereby authorizes the Company to file, at any time on or after the date such pricing totals and other charges become due, appropriate uniform commercial code financing statements in such jurisdictions and offices as the Company deems necessary in connection with the perfection of a security interest in the Property.
Shipping services are provided for purchase through the Company's Site and are charged to the Customer. If return shipping expenses exceed the shipping price at the time of processing, the Company reserves the right to charge the difference in cost before shipping the items back to the Customer.
Processed orders will ship within 2 business days upon completion.
Materials and/or personal items included by the Customer in a shipment to the Company may or may not be returned to the Customer in the return shipment. The Company makes good faith efforts to keep those items with the Customer's order, but cannot be guaranteed to be returned.
The Company shall have no liability whatsoever to Customer, or any third party for whom Customer may be acting, (i) for any personal injury or (ii) any damage to any item, or otherwise, resulting from the breaking open of a Company item holder, or for any damage to any item that the Company can reasonably demonstrate occurred while the item was not in the custody or control of the Company including, but not limited to, loss or damage to items while being shipped to the Company, or while being shipped by the Company to Customer by a method selected and paid for by Customer.
In the ordinary course of its authentication and grading operations, the Company (i) compiles data regarding each item submitted for authentication and/or grading, including, but not limited to, data relating to the identity, production, condition and grade of the item (the "Data"); and (ii) may take, or have taken, one or more digital or other types of photographs, images or reproductions of each such item (collectively, the "Images"). The extent and type of Data compiled and Images taken by Company may differ from time to time and from circumstance to circumstance, solely at Company's discretion. In partial consideration for the authentication and/or grading services being provided by the Company, Customer, on behalf of itself and any third party for whom Customer may be acting, hereby authorizes the Company (i) to compile and maintain such Data with respect to each item submitted hereunder for authentication and/or grading; and (ii) to take, or cause to be taken, one or more Images of each such item, and further agrees that the Company will be the owner of such Data and all such Images and that the Company may use and exploit such Data and the Images for commercial and any other purposes, as the Company in its sole discretion deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the publication and republication or reproduction in or on any media, of such Data and Images. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer, on behalf of itself and any third party for whom Customer may be acting with respect to this agreement, unconditionally and irrevocably transfers, conveys and assigns to the Company any and all current and any hereafter acquired rights, title and interests (including, without limitation, rights in copyright, patent, trade secret and trademark) that Customer or any such third party may have in or to the Data and the Images (on whatever media or in whatever form such Images may be reproduced or published).
If any items are being submitted for a third party, Customer represents and warrants that such third party has agreed and accepted this Agreement and has signed a duplicate copy hereof. Customer agrees to provide that third party signed copy to the Company at any time upon its request.
This Agreement is delivered and accepted in the State of Arizona and it is the intention of the parties that it be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of that State, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction in Arizona with respect to any legal action to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement or otherwise arising under or with respect to this Agreement or any Services of Company, and agree that arbitration will be conducted in Pima County, Arizona, and venue for any court proceedings shall be in the Superior Court of Arizona, County of Pima, or, if applicable, federal District Court sitting in the County of Pima, State of Arizona, , and the State of Arizona shall be the sole forum, for the bringing of such action. Each of Customer and the Company agrees that the prevailing party in arbitration or any court proceeding shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorney's fees, costs, and expenses.
The terms and provisions in this Agreement and the Customer Agreement, if applicable, constitute the entire agreement of the Company and Customer (and any third party for whom Customer may be acting) regarding, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings (written or oral) between or among such parties relating to, the subject matter hereof. If it is determined that there are any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Customer Agreement, then this Agreement shall control. If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined, by a final and non-appealable ruling or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other terms or provisions of this agreement. Each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments as any other party may request to better evidence or effectuate the agreements contained herein, including the assignment of rights set forth in Section 11, and procedures, and further agree that the Company is entitled to rely upon and benefit from those terms and procedures.
