Our evaluation takes place by means of a standardized internal test procedure. We also use specially for adapted test utensils. Each collector's item submitted goes through the entire test process in two ways on at least two different test days. Thus, we grant the highest possible accuracy and objectivity of our condition assessment. Despite absolute care, AA grading expressly indicates a residual subjective nature of the condition assessment. Following the condition assessment, the certification and sealing of the grading envelope is carried out. The assessment of the status of the trading card (s) contained therein and carried out by AA grading is only valid if the grading cover is in the original closed state and the AA grading certificate (label) is located inside the grading envelope

(2) Regardless of our fault, our liability shall remain unaffected in the event of fraudulent concealment of the defect or from the assumption of a guarantee. The manufacturer's warranty is a guarantee from the manufacturer and does not constitute a guarantee from us.

(3) We are also responsible for the impossibility of delivery occurring by chance during our delay, unless the damage would have occurred even in the event of timely delivery.

(4) The personal liability of the legal representatives, vicarious agents and employees of us for damage caused by them by slight negligence is excluded.
