Comicpresser.com Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Use of personal information. We collect and maintain your personal information in order to give you the best possible service and allow us to establish your identity, protect us from error and fraud, comply with the law and assess your eligibility in our products. We may also use your information for general research in an effort to enhance our service and product offerings.

Services delivered under these terms. By using Comicpresser.com™ (“Comicpresser”) services or by ordering a service, you acknowledge and agree that all services are provided subject to the Comicpresser Guarantee and the Comicpresser Terms and Conditions, as applicable.

You acknowledge and commit to pay for services ordered by our website or as you approve in writing by e.g., email. You authorize us to charge your payment method on file for any requested and authorized services and/or shipping.

If collectibles are submitted for tier categories and services for which they do not qualify or if values are under-declared, our Guarantee may not apply and you authorize Comicpresser to correct the order and charge any additional services, high value fees or shipping fees that may apply. You authorize Comicpresser to adjust any and all related fees & categories according to its sole determination of the current fair market value or proper category. Submissions will not be returned until all fees are paid.

You understand and agree that once your submission is delivered to Comicpresser, it cannot be cancelled or changed, and no refunds will be issued. Incomplete forms and improperly packaged collectibles will not be accepted.

Responsibilities & options. You acknowledge that you are responsible for safely and securely packaging your collectibles in boxes, and that you have determined how to package the collectibles to prevent damage during the normal shipping & handling process. You assume all risk of loss or damage that occurs during shipment to Comicpresser or that occurs due to your improper packaging. You understand that Comicpresser will not confirm the quantity, type or condition of collectibles until your submission is opened and imaged.

You may submit collectibles in holders (“slabs”). Collectibles in holders are designed to be tamper-evident and extremely difficult to open. Even when carefully handled, damage might still occur to a collectible removed from a holder, resulting in a lower grade than before. You assume all risk when having us open any holder.

Risks when submitting. Some collectibles with glossy printed surfaces might experience “color lift” when removed from a holder or container, possibly resulting in a lower grade than before. Some signatures written with a “paint pen” might lift off when removed from a holder, resulting in the loss of the signature.

Pressing, dry cleaning, deep cleaning, conservation, restoration and restoration removal services could potentially cause damage or introduce new defects to your collectible including, but not limited to, spine splits, popped staples, paper pieces chipping off, paper tears, creases, color loss and stains, which might result in a lower grade than anticipated. You assume all risk when having us clean, press, repair and conserve your collectibles.

Comicpresser does not provide grading services. Comicpresser can not and will not Guarantee any grades or grade increases. Comicpresser can not and will not Guarantee that your cleaned and/or pressed collectible will be returned from any grading company after one or more attempts as Universal (blue label) vs. other grading classes e.g., Conserved (blue/gray label), Qualified (Green label) or Restored (purple label).

Our rights. Comicpresser retains all rights to its Intellectual Property in any transaction or engagement with you, involving you or disclosed to you. Intellectual Property includes but is not limited to: trademarks, copyrights, patents, designs, inventions, code, data, images, photographs, methods, systems, procedures, processes, workflows, customer lists, supplier lists, user interfaces and other intangible assets created in the background or foreground of work we do related to your collectibles and accounts.

Insurance. Comicpresser maintains insurance for: any in-transit damage to items that we ship; burglary; fire; flood; or damage during storage only. Neither insurance nor Comicpresser covers damages that may occur while performing work on collectibles, including but not limited to: fading, creasing, denting, scratching, tearing, thinning, transfer of colors, wear and tear, or deterioration; dampness or dryness of atmosphere; corrosion, rust or mold; changes in or extremes of temperature other than fire; nesting or infestation, or discharge or release of waste products, by insects, birds, rodents or other animals; work done on your collectibles by Comicpresser or others working on our behalf; delay, loss of use, loss of market value or loss of market opportunity.

Your responsibilities. It is your sole responsibility to thoroughly inspect your collectibles for restoration, missing pages, rust, cutouts, writing, loose staples, detachments or inserts and other defects. While we will review your items in preparation for specifically providing our services, identifying the aforementioned defects are outside the scope of our offerings.

You accept and acknowledge that all of the above-described risks & conditions are associated with your submission and agree to release, waive and discharge Keys N Runs LLC D/B/A Comicpresser.com (a Georgia corporation; with these terms to be applied under Georgia law) and its employees, directors, agents, representatives and assigns from all liability for actual & associated damage to any submitted collectibles in our care or under our services, whether caused by our negligence or not.
