TERMS OF SERVICE

POS Grading is a satirical, entertainment-based collectible card grading service. We celebrate rough corners, questionable centering, mystery stains, and cards that have clearly lived a life. We provide AI-generated image-based grades, humorous/sarcastic commentary, digital/shareable grade results, and physical novelty fulfillment items such as stickers, sleeves, and related materials mailed after grading.

Important: We do not physically inspect cards. All grading is based solely on images submitted by users. We are not affiliated with Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), Beckett Grading Services, CGC, SGC, or any other third-party grading company.

You must be at least 18 years old to purchase or use paid features of the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you are legally able to enter into these Terms.

POS Grading sells grading credits and subscriptions. Current purchase options include:

The POS Shoebox Club is a monthly subscription currently priced at $20 per month. It includes 25 grading credits per month plus a monthly shipment of curated imperfect cards (the Shoebox Club box). The box includes a mystery batch of POS-worthy cards, at least one pre-graded POS card with a sarcastic grade and story, and chase possibilities which may include vintage, error, star, or miscut cards. Box contents are subject to availability and may vary each month.

Subscription credits may roll over up to a maximum of 50 credits while the subscription remains active.

Subscriptions are billed automatically through Stripe unless canceled. You may cancel anytime through the Stripe customer portal or by contacting support. Cancellation stops future billing but does not automatically refund prior charges.

We may change subscription features, box contents, pricing, rollover rules, or credit limits prospectively. If required by law or Stripe rules, we will provide notice before changes take effect.

One-time grading credit packs are currently offered as Entry, Standard, and Bulk options. These one-time credits do not expire, subject to abuse prevention, fraud prevention, discontinued service, or other limitations described in these Terms.

Credits have no cash value, are not legal tender, and may not be transferred, resold, or redeemed for cash.

You are responsible for uploading clear and accurate card images and for ensuring images represent the actual card condition.

We are not responsible for poor image quality, misleading angles, bad lighting, cropped photos, glare, hidden damage, missing damage not visible in photos, or any differences between the image and the physical card.

All grades, scores, and commentary are AI-generated, subjective, and based only on submitted images. They are provided for entertainment and novelty purposes only.

POS grades are not certified, not industry-recognized, and not valid for resale, insurance, appraisal, authentication, or valuation purposes. Do not rely on POS grades for factual, financial, legal, insurance, collector-value, or resale decisions.

At no point does POS Grading take possession of, handle, store, ship, receive, authenticate, or evaluate your physical cards. You should not mail cards to us. All evaluations are remote and image-based only.

After grading, we may ship physical novelty fulfillment items such as stickers, sleeves, common graded POS cards, authenticity/novelty materials, or promotional items to the shipping address you provide.

Bonus items, premium card possibilities, vintage card possibilities, and promotional inserts are novelty benefits and are subject to availability. We may substitute, modify, or discontinue bonus items at any time.

We are responsible for sending items, but we are not responsible for carrier delays, lost or stolen packages after shipment, incorrect addresses provided by users, or delivery issues outside our reasonable control.

The Service may generate digital/shareable grade cards, including Open Graph images for sharing. You may share your results publicly, provided you do not represent POS grades as official industry grades or use them to mislead buyers, marketplaces, collectors, insurers, or the public.

We use AI tools and related service providers, which may include Anthropic or other providers, to analyze images and generate grading commentary. AI outputs may be inaccurate, inconsistent, subjective, humorous, offensive to your card, or just plain wrong. That is part of the joke, but it is also a real limitation.

You agree not to rely on AI outputs for factual, financial, resale, insurance, authentication, or valuation decisions.

By submitting images or other content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to process, analyze, store, display, and use that content to provide the Service, create grading results, fulfill orders, improve the Service, prevent abuse, and operate our business.

We may use anonymized or de-identified examples of submitted cards and results for marketing, demonstrations, social posts, product improvement, or promotional materials.

Refunds may be issued at our discretion through Stripe. We may deny refunds if grading has already been completed, credits have been used, physical fulfillment has begun or shipped, abuse or fraud is suspected, or the request violates these Terms.

Canceled subscriptions stop future billing but do not automatically refund prior subscription charges.

Accounts may be required or optional depending on the feature. If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining accurate information and protecting your login credentials.

We may suspend or terminate accounts, purchases, credits, or access at any time if abuse, fraud, unauthorized use, or violations of these Terms are suspected.

You agree not to upload illegal, infringing, abusive, obscene, or inappropriate content; attempt to manipulate grading outcomes; reverse engineer, scrape, attack, or overload the Service; use the Service to defraud, mislead, or deceive others; or represent POS grades as professional, certified, or market-recognized grades.

We are not responsible for card value changes, market perception, resale outcomes, lost sales, marketplace decisions, collector opinions, or any financial result related to use or sharing of POS grades.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Little Sports LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, loss of profits, loss of opportunities, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or any reliance on grading results.

Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the specific purchase or subscription month giving rise to the claim.

You agree to hold harmless and indemnify Little Sports LLC, its owners, employees, contractors, and service providers from claims arising from your submissions, your use of grading results, your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of another person's rights.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Tennessee, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration except where prohibited by law or where a claim may be brought in small claims court. You and Little Sports LLC waive the right to a jury trial to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We may update these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on POSGrading.com with a new effective date. Continued use of the Service after updates means you accept the revised Terms.
