1. The “Customer” is defined as an individual, multiple persons, or corporate entity with the legal authority to submit items to GMA for grading and/or authentication services.

A customer may submit one or more of the following items to GMA for grading and/or authentication: any trading card to GMA via the GMAGrading.com website using a submission form for any available service. By using this website or GMA’s services, you affirm that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age, or if you are under eighteen (18) years of age but at least thirteen (13) years of age (a “Minor”), that you are using the website with the consent of your parent or legal guardian and that you have received your parent or legal guardian’s permission to use the website and agree to its Terms and Conditions. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a Minor, you hereby agree to bind the Minor to these Terms and Conditions and to fully indemnify and hold harmless GMA if the Minor breaches any of these Terms. If you are not at least thirteen (13) years of age, you may not use this website at any time or in any manner or submit any information to GMA or the website.

GMA, but shall have no obligation to refund the fee paid by Customer, as the determination to reject an Altered Card or label them as “Authentic” requires a review by GMA’s graders and authenticators.

GMA shall have no liability to Customer, and GMA shall be under no obligation to change a grade or determination of authenticity assigned to an item (unless such an item is re-submitted for grading and/or authentication) to the extent new information arises or becomes available after a grade or determination of authenticity is assigned by GMA to any item.
10. Clerical errors can occur in connection with the grading and/or authentication, review, or reholdering of an item submitted to GMA. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy is to allow GMA to correct the clerical error, and reholder the item if required, at GMA’s sole cost and expense.
