Terms of Service
1. Our Services
7 Bucks A Press ("we", "us") provides comic book pressing and CGC grading submission services ("Services"). By placing an order, shipping books to us, or checking the agreement box on our submission form, you agree to these Terms of Service.
2. Eligible Books
We accept standard-size comic books published in 1975 or later with a declared value of $500 or less per book. We do not accept magazines or magazine-size comics. If a book you send is ineligible, we will return it unserviced and refund the service fee for that book.
3. Pricing and Payment
Service fees are charged at checkout when you place your order. Return shipping is calculated at checkout based on your order. Prices are as listed at the time of purchase.
4. Shipping Your Books to Us
You are responsible for packing your books securely (see our Packing Recommendations) and for the cost and risk of shipping them to us. We are not responsible for books lost or damaged in transit to our facility. We strongly recommend using tracking and carrier insurance on your inbound shipment. Your books remain your property at all times.
5. Declared Value and Insurance
The declared value you provide on the submission form is the basis for our insurance coverage and is capped at $500 per book. In the rare event a book is damaged while in our possession, our insurance covers the book up to its declared value based on its estimated grade prior to the damage. Claims must be reported within 14 days of receiving your books back.
6. Pressing and Grading Outcomes
Pressing improves most books, but results vary with each book's condition. We do not guarantee any specific outcome, condition improvement, or CGC grade. CGC is an independent company; its grading decisions, timelines, and fees are outside our control.
7. Turnaround Times
Turnaround estimates are good-faith estimates, not guarantees. Timelines for grading-service orders depend in part on CGC's queue. You can follow your order's progress at any time on your order tracking dashboard.
8. Cancellations and Refunds
Because we provide a service rather than a physical product:
- Orders cancelled before we receive your books are refunded in full.
- Once your books arrive at our facility, service fees are non-refundable, as work begins upon receipt.
- Ineligible books (Section 2) are refunded for that book's service fee and returned unserviced.
See our Refund Policy for details.
9. Unclaimed Books
If your return shipment is undeliverable and you do not respond to our attempts to contact you for 90 days, your books may be considered abandoned. We will make every reasonable effort to reach you before that ever happens.
10. Limitation of Liability
Our total liability for any claim related to the Services is limited to the declared value of the affected book(s), up to $500 per book. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including changes in market value.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
