BASEBALL CARD EXCHANGE, INC. AUTHENTICATION TERMS & CONDITIONS

 

Customer acknowledges that he/she has read the Baseball Card Exchange (BBCE) Grading Terms and Conditions set forth below, which constitutes an agreement between Customer and BBCE and applies to this and all submissions by Customer to BBCE.

  1. Baseball Card Exchange provides the service of authenticating unopened boxes. Full unopened boxes of Wax, Cello and Rack Packs can be authenticated.
  2. The charge for authentication will be 8% of our buy price value of the box (minimum charge will be $8 with a maximum of $5,000). If the box is deemed “authentic”, it will be wrapped in our shrink wrap with a sticker identifying the box.
  3. For rush services, the charge will be 15% of the retail value, with a minimum of $15. Please write "RUSH" in bold letters on the outside of the package.
  4. Please note that (a) prices are subject to change without notice; (b) the customer is responsible for shipping charges to and from BBCE’s premises.
  5. BBCE will endeavor to authenticate items within the time frame, if any, offered as part of an authentication service. However, BBCE will have no liability whatsoever to Customer for incidental or consequential damages due to BBCE's failure to authenticate any items within any time frame.
  6. Authentication involves individual judgments that are subjective and require the exercise of professional opinion. Therefore, BBCE makes no warranty or representation, and shall have no liability whatsoever to Customer, for the determination made for any submitted item should that determination later be found to be incorrect. BBCE’s opinion should be one of many considerations when evaluating the authenticity of an item, and Customer understands and agrees that Customer will not rely entirely on BBCE’s opinion in Customer’s transactions involving unopened boxes authenticated by BBCE. Moreover, after the submission and authentication of an item by BBCE, new information may arise or become available that was unavailable, or unknown to BBCE, at the time a determination of authenticity was assigned by BBCE to any item. An item determined by BBCE to be authentic might later be determined by BBCE to be inauthentic, and vice versa. BBCE shall have no liability to customer, and BBCE shall be under no obligation to change a determination of authenticity assigned to an item (unless such an item is re-submitted for authentication) to the extent new information arises or becomes available after a determination of authenticity is assigned by BBCE to any item.
  7. BBCE will exercise reasonable care in handling items submitted for authentication. However, if BBCE determines that Customer's item was lost or damaged while in BBCE's possession, Customer will be compensated based upon the fair market value of the item as determined by BBCE’s 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 against BBCE for any loss or damage.
  8. Customer must inspect all items immediately upon receipt and BBCE disclaims any liability for damage or discrepancies or errors unless reported to BBCE within five (5) days of Customer's receipt of the item(s). Customer agrees to return any incorrectly described item to BBCE upon request for correction and agrees to indemnify and hold BBCE harmless from any and all losses and/or claims caused by the circulation or sale of incorrectly described items.
  9. Customer agrees (a) to pay to BBCE all pricing and other charges when due; (b) that any delinquent balances shall accrue interest at the rate of 10% per year until paid (or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law); and (c) that BBCE shall have a security interest in the items submitted, as well as in any other property of Customer in the possession of BBCE (collectively, the "Customer Property"), to secure payment thereof. Customer hereby grants to BBCE a lien against the Customer Property in the amount of any pricing and other charges due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, with all the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or its equivalent as applicable.
  10. BBCE 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 BBCE shrink-wrap packaging, or for any damage to any item that BBCE can reasonably demonstrate occurred while the item was not in the custody or control of BBCE including, but not limited to, loss or damage to items while being shipped to BBCE, or while being shipped by BBCE to Customer by a method selected and paid for by Customer.
  11. Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, BBCE DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, REGARDING BBCE'S GOODS AND SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
  12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY THAT BBCE SHALL HAVE TO CUSTOMER, OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR WHOM THE CUSTOMER MAY BE ACTING, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE, ACT, OMISSION OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE GRADING CHARGES OR LESS ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE GRADING SERVICES RENDERED BY BBCE WITH RESPECT TO THE ITEMS SUBMITTED FOR GRADING HEREUNDER. IN NO EVENT SHALL BBCE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
  13. 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 BBCE at any time upon its request.
  14. This Agreement is delivered and accepted in the State of Indiana 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 personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Lake County, Indiana 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 and agree that those courts shall be the exclusive venue for the bringing of such action. Each of Customer and BBCE agrees that the prevailing party in any legal action shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses.
  15. The terms and provisions in this Agreement and the Customer Agreement, if applicable, constitute the entire agreement of BBCE 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 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.
