Effective 18 October 2026. Operated by Dead Center Studios LLC. · Part 3 of 3 · ← Part 2
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. By using SlabScore or subscribing to a paid plan you agree to these terms, to the privacy policy and to the refund policy.
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, and no answer is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything.
- 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 data is provided as it is
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. A paid plan buys more use of the tool; it does not buy a more accurate price, a guaranteed grade or a sale.
5. Your account and your collection
Your collection can be stored by your own browser on your own device, or with your account. In the browser, we do not hold a copy: we cannot see it and we cannot restore it, and clearing your browser data, switching browser or device, or browsing privately loses it. With an account, it is stored with your account so it survives a cleared browser and follows you between devices.
You sign in with your email address and a password, an emailed link, Google or Apple, and you are responsible for keeping that sign-in secure. A paid plan belongs to the account that bought it.
Keep your own record of anything that matters, including what you actually paid and what a grading company actually charged you.
6. The free plan and its daily allowance
The Free plan costs nothing and needs no payment method. It allows 5 Grading Outlooks and 5 card lookups a day. A Grading Outlook is a price or a rating for one card; a card lookup is a search, a row of an import, or pricing a card as it is added. Your allowance resets at midnight UTC.
Without an account, the allowance is counted per browser; signed in, it is counted per account. When it is used up, the app says so and the rest of it keeps working until the reset. Cards the app has already priced for you stay on screen and do not count again.
7. Paid plans and billing
The paid plans are Basic at $9.99 a month, Pro at $19.99 a month and Unlimited at $39.99 a month, in US dollars. Each raises the daily allowance of clause 6 as the plans page sets out; that page is part of these terms for what each plan includes.
- On the website, payment is taken by Stripe, on Stripe’s own payment page. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach us.
- In the iPhone and Android apps, a plan is sold through the App Store or Google Play. Apple or Google takes that payment under its own terms, renews it, and changes or cancels it from the subscriptions page of your Apple or Google account — not from Manage billing. It is the same plan on the website and in the app, and your account is never charged by both at once.
- You are billed monthly, in advance, from the day you subscribe, and the plan applies to your account as soon as the payment succeeds.
- A subscription renews automatically each month, at the price then in force for your plan, until you cancel it. By subscribing on the website you authorise us, through Stripe, to charge your payment method at each renewal.
- If a website renewal payment fails, Stripe retries it over the following days and your plan continues while it does. If the payment cannot be collected, the subscription ends and your account returns to the Free plan.
- Changing a website plan is done from Manage billing. Stripe shows what the change charges or credits before you confirm it.
8. Cancelling, and what happens at the end of a period
You can cancel at any time from Manage billing in Settings, without contacting us. Cancelling stops the next renewal: your plan runs to the end of the month you have already paid for, nothing further is charged, and your account then returns to the Free plan. Your account and your collection are not deleted by cancelling.
A plan bought in the app is cancelled in the App Store or Google Play instead, from your Apple or Google account’s subscriptions page. It runs to the end of the period already paid in the same way.
Refunds are covered by the refund policy, which is part of these terms.
9. Price changes
We may change the price of a plan. If you hold that plan, we email the address on your account before the new price applies, and it applies from your first renewal after that notice. If you do not want to pay it, cancel before that renewal and you are not charged the new price.
10. 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 its daily allowances — including by cycling browsers, accounts or network addresses — or use it for anything unlawful. We may limit, suspend or close access that is doing any of the above, without notice where it is causing cost or degrading the service for other people.
11. 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.
12. No warranty
The app and its data are provided as they are and as available. 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. Much of the data comes from third parties and we cannot warrant it either.
13. 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, for a price or fee that turned out to be wrong or out of date, or for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss. 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. If you have only used the Free plan, that amount is zero. 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.
14. Changes
The app changes constantly and features can be added, altered or removed. We can change these terms too. When they change materially, the effective date at the top of this page changes with them and the new version applies from then on; if you hold a paid plan, we email you before a change to the billing terms applies. If you keep using the app after that, you are accepting the new version.
15. Governing law and disputes
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.
16. Who may use it
You must be at least 13 years old to use SlabScore, and old enough to enter a contract where you live to buy a paid plan. It is offered from the United States; you are responsible for whether using it is lawful where you are.
