Grading prices that are determined at the time an Item or Collectible has been graded by an authorized third-party grading service (i.e., Collector’s Universe, PSA, Certified Collectables Group, Beckett, and SGC) after a user places an order with the website or directly with Bent Cardboard is a “Variable Value Grading Service”. Grading prices that are determined at the time an order is made prior to being submitted to a third-party grading service for the grading of an Item or Collectible is a “Fixed Value Grading Service.” Grading price estimates may be provided by Bent Cardboard at the time a submission is made to an authorized third-party grading service and is subject to change. Grading prices for Variable Value Grading Services are based on the grades or overall values of the Items or Collectables after the Items or Collectables have been evaluated and graded. Grading Prices for Fixed Value Grading Services are based on prices by Bent Cardboard at the time of submission to a third-party grading service and are subject to change. All fees for Services are determined by the Company. All payments are final at the time of payment, and are not subject to any refund, for any reason. Any objections to the grading prices by the user must be made in writing and submitted to Bent Cardboard attn.: info@bentcardboard.com within seven (7) days of receiving an invoice from Bent Cardboard. If the user does not submit a written objection to the grading prices in this timeframe, user agrees to be bound to the grading prices determined by Company and waives all objections to the grading prices.

Consignment prices are set in line with the Consignment Agreement and are determined by the Company.

Payments are to be made to the Company without any deduction or discount other than as stated in these Terms or in the relevant invoice. The balance of the invoice price must be paid in full before the delivery of the graded Items or Collectables. If full payment is not made by the user, user agrees that Bent Cardboard is a debtor in possession of the graded Items or Collectables. All payments are due upon invoice unless written agreements are made prior. Any invoices not paid within 30 days of the invoice are subject to a late payment service fee of $50 as well as a late payment interest rate of not less than 10% APY or the actual interest payments forwarded by Company on behalf of user, whichever is greater.

Any invoices not paid within 60 days of the invoice shall be considered abandoned by the user. Once abandoned, the Company may use its discretion to sell or otherwise dispose of the graded Items or Collectables subject to the unpaid invoice as it sees fit to resolve any unpaid invoices. Where the graded Items or Collectables are sold, and a balance remains on unpaid invoices, those balances are still due to the Company while any amount collected over any unpaid portion of the invoice will be returned to user.

The user must, within 30 days of being notified of their availability, collect or accept delivery of the Items or Collectables which will only be released upon payment in full of any outstanding invoices. If the user fails to collect the Items or Collectables within 30 days of being notified of their availability, the Company may, at its discretion, mail the Items, at the Customer’s expense, to the billing address on file.

Legal and beneficial ownership of the Goods will not pass to the Customer until such time as the Goods have been paid in full in cash or cleared

The Company maintains insurance to cover loss while the Items or Collectables are in transit to a third-party grading service from the Company and in transit to the user from the Company and while in Company possession. In the case of loss or damage while in Company possession the Company will make Client whole. In cases where a pregrade Item or Collectable review was completed and loss or damage occurred prior to the Item or Collectable being graded, the Company will reimburse the user the market value of the lower estimated grade at time the review was completed. In cases where no pregrade review was completed and loss or damage occurred prior to the Item or Collectable being graded, the company agrees to reimburse the user the fair market value of the Item as determined by the company wherein such value does not exceed the declared value as given to the company on their submission form. In cases were loss or damage took place after the Item or Collectable was graded, the user will be reimbursed the averaged fair market value of the Item or Collectable at time of damage as determined by the company. Notably, while the Item or Collectable is in possession by a third-party grading service, the third party grading service shall be responsible for any risk of loss or damage to the Item or Collectable under their possession or control. Any objections to the reimbursement amount(s) by the user must be made in writing and submitted to Bent Cardboard attn.: info@bentcardboard.com within seven (7) days of receiving notice of reimbursement from Bent Cardboard. If the user does not submit a written objection to the reimbursement amount in this timeframe, user agrees to be bound to the reimbursement amount determined by Company and waives all objections to the reimbursement amounts.

Case Cracking

From time to time, use of the Services herein requires that Bent Cardboard cracks a protective case to perform the services herein. User has agreed and requested Company to “crack” or remove such protective case from an Item or Collectable such as a trading card from an existing sealed case and user agrees that the Company is free from any liability, loss, or damage as a result of such case cracking. User agrees to waive any claim for damages pursuant to such case cracking service and user understand that this action holds a risk to damage of the card and that user shall hold harmless the Company for any damages to the Item or Collectable as the result of such case cracking.

Unless the user has inspected the Items or Collectables and given written notice to the Company within seven (“7”) days after delivery that the Items or Collectables do not comply with the relevant specifications or descriptions, the Items or Collectables are deemed to have been accepted in good order and condition. Where the user picks up the Items or Collectables from the Company, all inspections are expected to be completed onsite. Any Items or Collectables that leave the premises with the user are deemed to have been accepted in good order and condition.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties in contracts with consumers, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

You accept and acknowledge:

1. • The value of Items or Collectables is subjective. Prices of Items or Collectables  are subject to condition, market demand, supply volatility and fluctuations in the price of currency can also materially and adversely affect values. You acknowledge that you fully understand this subjectivity and volatility and that you may lose money.
   • You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes or duties apply to your transactions. Bent Cardboard is not responsible for determining the taxes or duties that apply to your Items or Collectables.
   • There are risks associated with purchasing Items or Collectables associated with third parties through peer-to-peer transactions, including but not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit items, mislabeled items, items that have been midgraded or damaged items. You represent and warrant that you have done sufficient research before making any decisions to sell, obtain, transfer, or otherwise interact with any Items or Collectables or accounts/collections.
   • There are risks associated with using Internet and software based products, including, but not limited to, the risk associated with hardware, software, and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to your Account. You accept and acknowledge that Bent Cardboard will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Service, however caused.
   • The Service relies on third-party platforms and/or vendors. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers and/or vendors; if the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers and/or vendors change; if we violate or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms and/or vendors; or if any of such platforms and/or vendors loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and use of the Service will suffer.
   • Bent Cardboard reserves the right to keep confidential any collections, contracts, and items affected by any of these or other issues. Items you purchase may become inaccessible on Bent Cardboard. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view items on Bent Cardboard or an inability to use the Service in conjunction with the submission, consignment, purchase, sale, or transfer of Items or Collectables serve as grounds for a claim against Bent Cardboard.
   • If you have a dispute with one or more users, YOU RELEASE US FROM CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES. IN ENTERING INTO THIS RELEASE YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY PROTECTIONS (WHETHER STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) THAT WOULD OTHERWISE LIMIT THE COVERAGE OF THIS RELEASE TO INCLUDE THOSE CLAIMS WHICH YOU MAY KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN YOUR FAVOR AT THE TIME OF AGREEING TO THIS RELEASE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL BENT CARDBOARD OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES AND PRODUCTS, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF BENT CARDBOARD OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; OR (B) FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM, DEMAND, OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF THE DELIVERY, USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES, AND PRODUCTS ARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF BENT CARDBOARD ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE, CONTENT, ITEMS OR COLLECTABLES, OR ANY BENT CARDBOARD PRODUCTS OR SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY BENT CARDBOARD FOR ITS SERVICE DIRECTLY RELATING TO THE ITEMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, and share personal data about you. By submitting personal data through our Service, you agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy, and you expressly consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any features or parts thereof) at any time and without liability as a result.

1. • Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Bent Cardboard and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. This section does not govern disputes between users or between users and third parties. Bent Cardboard does not provide dispute resolution services for such disagreements and the parties must resolve those disputes directly.
   • Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Service, to any products sold or distributed through the Service, or to any aspect of your relationship with Bent Cardboard, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, including threshold questions of the arbitrability of such dispute, controversy, or claim except that (1) Bent Cardboard may assert claims in small claims court, but only if the claims qualify, the claims remain only in such court, and the claims remain on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis; and (2) Bent Cardboard may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction if the claim relates to intellectual property infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
   • Dispute resolution process. You and Bent Cardboard both agree to engage in good-faith efforts to resolve disputes prior to either party initiating an arbitration, small claims court proceeding, or equitable relief for intellectual property infringement. You must initiate this dispute resolution process by sending a letter describing the nature of your claim and desired resolution to: Bent Cardboard, Attn: info@bentcardboard.com. Both parties agree to meet and confer personally, by telephone, or by videoconference (hereinafter “Conference”) to discuss the dispute and attempt in good faith to reach a mutually beneficial outcome that avoids the expenses of arbitration or, where applicable, litigation. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the Conference. Likewise, if Bent Cardboard is represented by counsel, its counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but Bent Cardboard agrees to have a company representative fully participate in the Conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process and Conference required by this paragraph. If the parties do not reach agreement to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after initiation of this dispute resolution process, either party may commence arbitration, file an action in small claims court, or file a claim for injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction for matters relating to intellectual property infringement, if the claims qualify.
   • Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding after participating in the dispute resolution process, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: Bent Cardboard attn.: info@bentcardboard.com. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards then in effect; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards then in effect. JAMS’s rules are available at jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352- 5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. You are  responsible for all of your attributable costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or videoconference, based on written submissions, in person in your hometown area (if you live in the United States), or at another mutually agreed upon location that is reasonably convenient to you. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
   • Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Bent Cardboard. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
   • Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the second bullet of this Section 23, above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
   • Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE CLASS BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER, PERSON, OR ENTITY CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER, PERSON, OR ENTITY. Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party’s claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and Bent Cardboard agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any part of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in Cuyahoga County in the State of Ohio. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
   • Severability. Except as provided in this Section, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
   • Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Bent Cardboard.
   • Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Bent Cardboard makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to Bent Cardboard at the following address: Bent Cardboard attn.: info@bentcardboard.com.

These Terms and your access to and use of the Service shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio (without regard to conflict of law rules or principles of the State of Ohio, or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction). Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration as set forth in Section 23 or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of Cuyahoga County in the State of Ohio, and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of Ohio.

If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by Bent Cardboard will terminate automatically. Additionally, notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, with or without notice and in our sole discretion, to suspend, disable, terminate, or delete your Account and/or your ability to access or use the Service (or any part of the foregoing) at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us.

If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause, or provision, or any other term, clause, or provision of these Terms.

You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to Bent Cardboard for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Bent Cardboard shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.

If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Service, and/or other information or materials provided by Bent Cardboard hereunder, to any country for which the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Service may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries or any country that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, or (b) to anyone listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You are responsible for and hereby agree to comply at your sole expense with all applicable United States export laws and regulations.

All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by Bent Cardboard or you. Termination will not limit any of Bent Cardboard’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Bent Cardboard relating to your access to and use of the Service. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Bent Cardboard, and Bent Cardboard’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.

The Service is operated by us in the United States. Those who choose to access the Service from locations outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. You and Bent Cardboard agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.

Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.

Bent Cardboard Card Services, LLC is permitted to revise these Terms at any time as it sees fit, and by using this Website you are expected to review such Terms on a regular basis to ensure you understand all terms and conditions governing the use of this Website.
