Terms of Service
The agreement between you and Dead Center Studios LLC covering your use of SlabScore.
Written by the people who build SlabScore, to describe what it actually does. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer and nothing on this page is in force. Where a fact is missing it is marked to be supplied rather than guessed — a confidently wrong term is worse than a visible gap.
Drafted 29 July 2026. No effective date — these take effect when they have been reviewed and the app is serving people.
1. Who operates the SlabScore platform
SlabScore is operated by Dead Center Studios LLC, a limited liability company formed in the State of New York on 22 April 2026. In these terms, we and us mean Dead Center Studios LLC, and you means the person using the app.
Notices under these terms go to admin@slabscore.io. Dead Center Studios LLC is a New York limited liability company and may be served through the New York Secretary of State.
Mail: Dead Center Studios LLC, 8 S 4th St, Brooklyn, NY 11249.
2. What the SlabScore platform does
You name a card and the grade you expect it to receive. The app shows what that card has recently sold for at that grade, what the grading company charges to grade it, what selling it would cost you, and what you would be left with. It shows the arithmetic that produced the answer, so you can check it rather than trust it.
Every input is yours to change: the grader, the expected grade, your shipping costs and your selling-fee rate. Change any of them and the answer changes, because the answer was always about your assumptions.
3. What the SlabScore platform does not do
- It does not predict what grade your card will receive. You state the grade; the app answers at that grade. If your card comes back lower, the answer you were given was about a different card than the one you sent. That is a limit of the product by design, not a defect — nothing here estimates the odds of a grade.
- It is not financial, investment, tax or legal advice.
- It is not an appraisal, a valuation or an offer to buy or sell anything.
- It does not buy, sell, ship, store, insure or take custody of cards, and it is not party to your submission to a grading company.
- It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for any grading company, marketplace or game publisher. Naming a grader describes their published prices; it does not mean we speak for them.
4. The numbers are estimates, and they drift
Prices come from a third-party card catalogue and are records of past sales, not offers. A card that sold for a number last month may not sell for it today, and thinly traded cards can be priced off a handful of sales. Where we have no sales data we say so; we never substitute a zero for a number we do not have.
Grading fees are external facts that drift. Every fee table in the app carries the date it was read from the grading company’s own published prices, and the tables are maintained by hand — there is no automatic check. A grading company can change its prices, its turnaround, its tiers or their availability at any time without telling us, and the fee you are actually charged is the one on their invoice.
You are responsible for the decision. Verify anything a real amount of money depends on against the grading company and the marketplace directly.
5. Where your collection lives
Without an account, the cards you add are stored by your own browser on your own device. We do not hold a copy, which means we cannot see your collection — and equally that we cannot restore it. Clearing your browser data, using a different browser or a different device, or browsing privately will lose it.
An account is optional and exists for one reason: signed in, your collection is stored with your account so it survives a cleared browser and follows you between devices. Signing in is never required to rate a card.
Keep your own record of anything that matters, including what you actually paid and what a grading company actually charged you.
6. How you may use it
Use it for your own cards. You may not scrape or bulk-extract the card, price or fee data, resell or redistribute it, run automated tools against the app, or use it to build a competing data set. The pricing data behind the app is licensed and metered, so automated use costs us real money per request.
You may not attempt to break, overload or circumvent the app, or use it for anything unlawful. We may limit or withdraw access that is doing any of the above, without notice where it is causing cost or degrading the service for other people.
7. Who owns what
The app, its design, its wording and its rating method belong to Dead Center Studios LLC. Card names, images, set data and sales history come from a third-party catalogue and belong to their respective owners. Grading company names, game names and marketplace names are the trademarks of their owners and appear here only to describe what they are.
What you type in — your cards, your costs, your expectations — stays yours.
8. No warranty
The app is provided as it is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranty that it will be available, uninterrupted, accurate, complete or fit for any particular purpose, and we disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Some of that data comes from third parties and we cannot warrant it either.
9. Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for money you lose on a grading decision, for a grade that came back lower than you expected, for a card lost or damaged in transit or at a grading company, or for a price or fee that turned out to be wrong or out of date. You make the decision; the app shows you its working so you can judge it.
Our total liability to you for anything arising from SlabScore is capped at the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. SlabScore is free today, so that amount is nothing. Where the law where you live does not allow one of the exclusions above, that exclusion applies to you only as far as that law permits.
10. Changes
The app changes constantly and features can be added, altered or removed. We can change these terms too. When they change materially, the date at the top of this page changes with them and the new version applies from then on. If you keep using the app after that, you are accepting the new version.
11. Governing law and disputes
Dead Center Studios LLC is formed in New York, which is a fact about the company rather than a choice of law for this agreement. The clause that fixes governing law and where a dispute is heard is a legal decision that has not been made, so it is not stated here rather than being guessed at.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute is brought in the state or federal courts sitting in New York, and you and we each consent to their jurisdiction. There is no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver.
12. Who may use it
You must be at least 13 years old to use SlabScore. It is offered from the United States; you are responsible for whether using it is lawful where you are.
