1. The System and Use of the System

Service Provider publishes an interactive computer service at its website, which may include mobile applications, downloadable components and other software (collectively the "System" or “Website”). The System helps collectors purchase authentic goods; provides a digital showcase for collectors to manage their authentic goods; and offers additional capabilities and special considerations for subscribers who want to put the memory back into their memorabilia. The System allows Users to create account profiles; access content; augment the registration and witness records within their digital showcase; take advantage of additional capabilities and special considerations such as PROVA partner offerings; and generally to interact with other Users of the System. Access to and use of premium parts of the System may be subject to a fee, which will be clearly disclosed.

Use of Device Camera and Microphone

At your option, the System utilizes your device camera and microphone to augment your digital showcase with images and videos.

Device Resource Requirements

In addition to your device camera and microphone, the System utilizes your device storage to capture data to supplement the registration and witness data for the authentic goods in your digital showcase.

The System relies on a stable and adequate network connection (i.e., either Wi-Fi, cellular or other network connection) for augmenting and managing your digital showcase. If the device network connection is interrupted, impaired or reduced below the acceptable level, your access to your digital showcase may degrade or be terminated.

Prices and availability are subject to change without notice.

Promotions Rules and Conditions

The Service Provider may feature special sales, savings, promotions, discounts and incentives. Promotions are by default, limited to one of any / each item available, per person, or as specified in the specific terms expressly stated as a part of any promotional endeavor. The System may initially accept an order which violates these terms or conditions. In these cases, and at the Service Provider’s sole discretion, we reserve the right to limit, modify or cancel any order(s) or transaction(s) which purposely or accidentally violates the aforementioned terms of promotional participation. See "Quantity Limits & Dealer Sales" section for more information on quantity limits. Wholesale accounts are not eligible to participate in any web promotions or special offers. Any order(s) suspected of being placed by a wholesaler, or for the express purpose of resale by an individual via any web promotion will immediately be canceled with or without notice at the discretion or the Service Provider. Promotional Codes may not be combined or used, under any circumstances, on items which are already discounted. Other exclusions may apply.

Quantity Limits & Dealer Sales

The Service Provider reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to limit the quantity of items purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may be applicable to orders placed by the same User account, the same credit card, and also to orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. We will provide notification to the customer should such limits be applied. The Service Provider also reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to prohibit sales to dealers.

Imperfect Items

Items listed as Imperfect are sold as-is and as described and are not eligible for returns or exchanges. All sales are final.

Colors

The Service Provider has made every effort to display the colors of our products that appear on the System as accurately as possible. However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any color will be accurate.

International Access

The System is provided according to the laws of the United States of America (U.S.A.). The laws of other countries may differ regarding the access and use of the System.

If a User requests an Order Return number for an item that does not have a quality control issue, the Service Provider is not obligated to issue an Order Return number for such “no issue” requests. If the Service Provider by its sole discretion agrees to issue an Order Return number for a “no issue request”, then the Service Provider may withhold a 20% re-stocking fee up to a maximum of $100.

Upon issuing an Order Return number to the User, the Service Provider will provide detailed return instructions to the User. The User agrees to follow the return instructions and agrees that any refund or credit for an Order Return is expressly conditioned on following the return instructions.

All merchandise is considered to belong to the User until it is received back according to the Order Return number and instructions in satisfactory condition.

Please note: items listed as Imperfect are sold as-is and as described and are not eligible for returns or exchanges. All sales are final.

Autograph Care

In rare instances, autographs may unexpectedly fade over time, often for no apparent reason or when exposed to direct sunlight or a constant light source. When displaying autographs, the Service Provider recommends that Users keep their items away from windows and direct internal lighting and store autographed items in either UV protective glass cases (baseballs, footballs, basketballs, helmets, equipment, etc.) or frame autographed items with UV protective glass (photos, jerseys, etc.).

Due to the unpredictable nature of in-home storage, the Service Provider is unable to offer replacement items for faded signatures.

15. Arbitration; No Class Action

Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of using the System, you and we agree that any and all disputes, claims and causes of action (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or connected with the System (except for small claims court Claims, if applicable), shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, for full and final settlement of such Claim applying the Federal Arbitration Act and other federal arbitration laws. You and we also agree that (a) any Claims will be resolved individually and not through any class action, (b) if a Claim proceeds in court anyway, we both waive any right to a jury trial; and (c) either you or we may seek a court injunction regarding intellectual property infringement. Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. Although court review of an arbitration award may be limited, an arbitrator is empowered to award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive relief or statutory damages. You may seek arbitration of a Claim by contacting our registered agent. The arbitration may be conducted via telephone, written submissions or in person in a mutually agreed location. Payment of all filing, administration, arbitrator and / or mediator fees (“Fees”) will be governed by AAA’s rules. The AAA’s rules are available at: www.adr.org. Unless the AAA arbitrator determines that your Claim was frivolous, we will (i) reimburse you for the Fees paid by you, and (ii) will not seek reimbursement from you for our attorneys’ fees and costs associated with the arbitration. You and we further agree that an award and any judgment confirming it only applies to the arbitration in which it was awarded and cannot be used in any other proceeding except to enforce the award itself and any post-arbitration action seeking to enforce an arbitration award or action seeking equitable or injunctive relief shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Delaware, or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. For any Claims that are not subject to arbitration, if any:

(a) the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for proceedings involving Claims shall be the courts of competent jurisdiction sitting within the State of Delaware (the "Forum"), and the parties hereby waive any argument that any such court does not have personal jurisdiction or that the Forum is not appropriate or convenient;

(b) you and we waive any and all rights to trial by jury with respect to any Claims. You further agree that you must assert all claims against us within one (1) year from the date of the applicable purchase or, if no purchase was made, from the date the claim first accrued.

16. Miscellaneous

We may give you notice of certain events from time to time and may be required by state or federal law to notify you of certain events. You hereby acknowledge and consent that such notices will be effective upon our posting them on the System or (if we choose to do so in our sole discretion) delivering them to you through email if you have provided us with your accurate email address. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These Terms of Service and your account on the System are personal to you and may not be transferred or assigned. Our performance under these Terms of System is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms of System is in derogation of our right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the System or information provided to or gathered by us with respect to such use.
