knowledge and no reasonable basis to believe that any card submitted for grading has been altered in any way or is not genuine.
• Grading and authentication involves judgments that are subjective and require the exercise of professional opinion, which can, from time to time, change.

• DIGITAL GRADE will exercise reasonable care in handling cards submitted for grading, review, or reholdering. If at its sole discretion, DIGITAL GRADE determines that Customer’s card was lost or damaged while in DIGITAL GRADE’s possession, the Customer will be compensated based upon the fair market value of the card as determined by DIGITAL GRADE's standard procedures which may include filing a claim with our insurance carrier. The declared value(s) stated on the detailed form is for estimating the insurance coverage only, and the fair market value of the card may be less than your declared value. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE DECLARED VALUE OF THE CARD. Such compensation shall be Customer’s exclusive remedy for any loss or damage.

item trades for $100.00 and you claimed the value to be $100,000.00).

Customer hereby authorizes DIGITAL GRADE 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 DIGITAL GRADE deems necessary in connection with the perfection of a security interest in the Property.
• The Customer agrees that any submission(s) or item(s) not paid for within 120 days of balance owing to DIGITAL GRADE being due will become property of DIGITAL GRADE.
• DIGITAL GRADE 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 card, or otherwise, resulting from the breaking open of a DIGITAL GRADE holder, or for any damage to any card that DIGITAL GRADE can reasonably demonstrate occurred while the card was not in the control or custody of DIGITAL GRADE including, but not limited to, loss or damage to cards while being shipped to DIGITAL GRADE, or while being shipped by DIGITAL GRADE to Customer.

Customer agrees to provide that third party-signed copy to DIGITAL GRADE at any time upon its request.

• Service Levels selected by the Customer will commence the day AFTER the card(s) have been logged at DIGITAL GRADE’s facilities, and NOT when the Customer’s chosen courier delivers to our mail hold / collection location. Customers will receive an email when their package has been logged. This email will include the Customer’s Order Number which can be used by the Customer to follow their order as it is processed by DIGITAL GRADE.
• Customer accepts that DIGITAL GRADE reserves the right to select the return shipping carrier in certain circumstances, generally choosing between CANADA POST, FEDEX, and UPS. DIGITAL GRADE will not return items to the Customer billed to the Customer’s courier account, except in some rare or unique prearranged and discussed situations agreed to at the sole discretion of DIGITAL GRADE.

If the Customer has any questions regarding the DIGITAL GRADE SUBMISSION FORM it is recommended that they contact support@digitalgrade.io before completing the form.

The Customer agrees to accept this and agrees not to hold DIGITAL GRADE liable or responsible in any way, shape or form for any damages, fees, or consequences resulting from refused packages.
• DIGITAL GRADE charges no autograph surcharge for factory distributed cards that bear a player’s autograph. DIGITAL GRADE will provide an Autograph Grade for factory autographs only. In some cases, DIGITAL GRADE may encapsulate or provide a card bearing an autograph if that card was signed at a ticketed event where DIGITAL GRADE was present and grading ON-SITE ON THE SAME DAY the autograph was issued provided ticketed proof can accompany the submission of such an item. DIGITAL GRADE does not render an opinion as to the authenticity of the autograph, only the grade of the autograph. However, Autographs that bear evidence of restoration or altering will result in the card being deemed as altered and the card will be logged into our database as altered. The Customer will be charged for this opinion.
• Any card which DIGITAL GRADE deems to bear evidence of altering or restoration will be charged the full service price.
• All items submitted to DIGITAL GRADE for grading or authentication are digitally imaged and archived. There are no exceptions. These images are then stored indefinitely at DIGITAL GRADE's sole discretion, in DIGITAL GRADE’s proprietary modified adaptation of IMAGECHAIN software and become part of the DIGITAL GRADE DATABASE. An image of any item can be provided to the holder of the item's unique serial number.
• DIGITAL GRADE provides the Customer with a service rendering an opinion as to the condition of a submitted item. Each Item submitted by the Customer receives a unique serial number which corresponds with a series of entries into various parts of the DIGITAL GRADE DATABASE. The DATABASE can be accessed by members of the DIGITAL GRADE team as well as other Customers.
• Serial numbers are exclusively owned by DIGITAL GRADE for the lifetime that any item resides within a DIGITAL GRADE HOLDER. Customer acknowledges that DIGITAL GRADE reserves the right to cancel and invalidate any serial number issued to any specific item should it come to light that an item encapsulated in a DIGITAL GRADE holder or an item bearing a unique DIGITAL GRADE serial number has been altered, compromised, tampered with, or should an item be used to generate harm in any way, shape or form, at the sole discretion of DIGITAL GRADE, to DIGITAL GRADE, and that DIGITIAL GRADE reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to pursue legal action including but not limited to damages, against anyone using DIGITAL GRADE's services or products to discredit or devalue the brand in any way whatsoever for the lifetime of the item.
• The DIGITAL GRADE POPULATION REPORTS are proprietary to DIGITAL GRADE. The information, system and any part(s) contained therein are the property of DIGITAL GRADE. Use of the DIGITAL GRADE POPULATION REPORTS is designed for educational and informational purposes only and Customer acknowledges that data contained within the POPULATION REPORTS is subject to change at any time and in any way. Theft of the system, whole or in part, or use of the system for anything other than personal use is forbidden. Duplication of the POPULATION REPORTS will be considered abuse of the SYSTEM and will be considered an attempt at intellectual property theft, for which action against those acting against the interest of DIGITAL GRADE shall be taken.
• Customer acknowledges that providing a DECLARED VALUE for items is necessary in determining the optional return shipping insurance. DECLARED VALUE has no bearing or influence whatsoever on the determination of an item’s final grade or in its grading process. Return insurance is OPTIONAL and available to the Customer at the Customer’s sole discretion. Customer agrees to hold DIGITAL GRADE entirely harmless and not responsible for any packages returned without insurance even in the event that total loss results for the customer.
• Disputes of final grades are limited to mechanical, typographical errors. These must be reported within 5 Business Days of Customer receiving items back. Typographical errors will be corrected free of charge to the customer. The costs associated with sending an item back in and returning it to the customer are not covered and will be the sole responsibility of the customer.
• DIGITAL GRADE is not liable whatsoever for any damage caused to the cards received when not in the care or control of DIGITAL GRADE.
• DIGITAL GRADE makes no warranty as to value or to future potential of any item DIGITAL GRADE authenticates, certifies, grades or encapsulates.
• DIGITAL GRADE accepts no liability for inaccuracies, errors or counterfeit items beyond its control.
• While DIGITAL GRADE will not encapsulate any items it feels exhibits trimming, restoration or other alterations, nor will DIGITAL GRADE encapsulate items it feels are counterfeit and not authentic, DIGITAL GRADE will photo- image these items within the DIGITAL GRADE IMAGECHAIN DATABASE and populate these submitted items within the DIGITAL GRADE POPULATION REPORTS for statistical purposes.
• Grading criteria for a given grade can vary between third-party authentication companies. The Customer acknowledges that DIGITAL GRADE may have different standards and requirements for a given grade when compared to another third-party grading and authentication service. Customer acknowledges and agrees that grading standards are not uniform across brands and that in some cases, competitive brands will not always agree on a final grade where agreement is not beneficial to a given brand. DIGITAL GRADE shall only need to abide by the criteria outlined in DIGITAL GRADE’s GRADING STANDARDS.
• Breaking open a DIGITAL GRADE holder will result in the grade assigned to the encapsulated item being invalidated. Items removed from a DIGITAL GRADE holder cannot be sent in for encapsulation without once again going through the entire grading and authentication process as well as being subject to all fees associated with a submission to DIGITAL GRADE.
• DIGITAL GRADE’s proprietary and patented DIGITAL GRADE-TO-EARN MEMBER POINTS SYSTEM is exclusively available to members of the DIGITAL GRADE ECOSYSTEM. Each 10 Points = $1.00 CAD. Points do not expire. Members can redeem any amount of their points at any time for use with a DIGITAL GRADE SUBMISSION. The maximum allowable use of points at any time is for a fee reduction up to 50% off face-service level value (ie. $50.00 grading fees can only be reduced to $25.00).
• Use of DIGITAL GRADE’s proprietary and patented DIGITAL WHITE LIST is governed by strict terms: The customer acknowledges that use of the WHITE LIST requires DIGITAL GRADE to collect a copy of the front and back of the Customer’s Driver’s License and a copy of a Utility Bill depicting matching home addresses. WHITE LIST loans are considered cash advances and failure to repay WHITE LIST loans on time will constitute cancellation of WHITE LIST leveraged item(s), cancellation of items graded using WHITE LIST leverage, as well as the Customer being taken to collection and a lifetime ban from DIGITAL GRADE.
• The Customer acknowledges that because the use of DIGITAL GRADE’s DIGITAL WHITE LIST constitutes a cash advance loan, leveraged items accessing collateral cannot be sold to another party while open collateralization exists. Collateralization, leveraging, advances, open-interest or any other agreements, entered whole or in part, by way of the DIGITAL WHITE LIST are non-transferable and constitute a binding agreement between DIGITAL GRADE and the Customer. Attempting to transfer any part will result in cancellation of any and all serial numbered items with open status between DIGITAL GRADE and the Customer.
• DIGITAL GRADE uses its proprietary and patented DIGITAL GRADE IMAGECHAIN DATABASE in order to photo- image and fingerprint all items, as well as to maintain what is easily the most secure database yet produced. Items canceled due to abuse or misuse of the DIGITAL GRADE WHITE LIST will have the DIGITAL GRADE IMAGECHAIN DATABASE image and fingerprint forwarded to all other third-party authentication companies with documentation noting the lien status and active legal action forwarded from one of our retained legal teams.
• DIGITAL GRADE Reserves the right to issue a warning to any bad actors who it feels are using the DIGITAL GRADE brand in a way that discredits the DIGITAL GRADE brand. Customers acting in a malicious way will receive 1 warning. Future attempts by customers either directly or indirectly through circumnavigation will result in a 1 year ban from the services provided by DIGITAL GRADE. A 2nd attempt will result in a lifetime ban from services
