Terms of Service

Comics Reborn LLC · Last updated: October 2026 · Effective date: October 27, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Comics Reborn LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("Comics Reborn," "we," "us"). They cover your use of the Comics Reborn: Grade & Value app and website (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

1. Who can use the Service

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service, including buying credits, with the permission of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms.

2. What the Service does

You upload photos of a comic book. The Service uses artificial intelligence (AI) to estimate the grade the book might receive on the CGC grading scale, explain the estimate, suggest what pressing and cleaning could change, and estimate the book's market value as a raw (unslabbed) copy.

3. Estimates only: no guarantees

Grades are estimates. They are produced by AI from photos and can be wrong. Photos can't show everything, such as interior pages, page quality, or hidden restoration. The actual grade of a book is decided only by the grading company after a physical inspection.
Values are estimates. Raw and slab values are based on recent sales and price guides (such as PriceCharting) and information found online. Market prices change, and the estimate is not an appraisal and not an offer to buy or sell.
Pressing and cleaning suggestions are general guidance. Results depend on the book and the professional doing the work.
Don't rely only on the Service when deciding to buy, sell, press, clean, or submit a book for grading.

4. Not affiliated with CGC

Comics Reborn is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CGC (Certified Guaranty Company) or its affiliates. "CGC" and related names are trademarks of their respective owner and are used only to describe the grading scale the estimates refer to.

5. Your account

You need an account to use the Service. Give accurate information, keep your password private, and don't share your account. You're responsible for activity on your account. Tell us right away at Jon@comicsreborn.com if you think someone else is using it.

6. Credits and payments

Each grading uses one credit. Valuing a signed book uses one extra credit (free during free promotions). A book in My collection → Raw books keeps the value from its grading; you can type your own value at no cost, and regrading the book (which uses one credit) gives it a new graded value. Books not marked as signed are graded and valued as unsigned. New accounts may receive free credits.
Credits are a license to use the Service. They have no cash value, can't be transferred or exchanged for money, and don't expire while your account is open.
If a grading fails because of a problem on our side, the credits are returned to your account automatically.
Refunds. Credits bought on comicsreborn.com or in the app are final and non-refundable once the purchase is complete, except where the law requires a refund. Purchases made in the iPhone app are processed by Apple under Apple's terms, and refund requests for those purchases are handled by Apple.
We may change credit prices at any time. Price changes don't affect credits you've already bought.
If your account is banned, your credits are kept for 120 days and are lost only if the account is then deleted (see "Strikes and bans" below).

Dealer accounts

Comic businesses can apply for a dealer account. We verify each dealer, including that the business is really theirs (for example with a proof code posted on the business's own store page or website, or an email from the business's own email address). We decide whether to approve an application.
Verified dealers get perks shown in the app, currently bonus credits on credit packs and a discount on the Dealer plan. We may change the perks. Dealer status lasts for the period shown in the app and is reviewed again after that.
A verified dealer's main account can invite a limited number of co-owners or employees, shown in the app, to the business's team. Team members share the business's dealer status and perks on their own accounts, and each keeps their own credits. The main account is responsible for who it invites and can remove members at any time. If the business's dealer status ends, it ends for the whole team.
Each dealer or team account is for one person. Don't share a login, and don't resell or transfer credits. Giving false business details, posing as a business you don't belong to, or sharing the account ends dealer status and may close the account.
Until a dealer account is approved, and if dealer status ends, the account works as a regular collector account. Credits already bought, including bonus credits, stay in the account.

eBay purchases (collectors)

If you connect your eBay account, the CGC and PSA graded comics you bought there are added to Value my slab's sales data after eBay's return window has passed, and so are raw comics whose listing states a grade (for the Raw book grader's value). Purchases that are cancelled, returned or refunded aren't added, or are taken out again.
Only real purchases. Using fake or staged purchases (for example, buying from a friend at a made-up price) to change what books are worth breaks these Terms: your account and everything in it will be removed and you'll be banned from the app.
The sales information (the book, grade, label, cert number, price and date) becomes part of Comics Reborn's sales data, the same as dealers' sales reports.

Dealer sales reports

Verified dealers can report graded (slabbed) books they or their business sold, in "Show & eBay sales". Report only real, completed sales, with the true price, date, grade, and cert number.
Straight sales only. Don't report a sale where other books were traded toward the book, or where the slab was sold at a discount. A price negotiated with the buyer is fine.
The price is for the book only. Report what the book itself sold for (for an auction, the winning bid), without any buyer's premium, shipping, or tax.
Proof is required. Every report must include a photo of the slab with its label readable, and proof of the sale: the sold listing or order link, or a photo of the receipt, invoice, or payment record. Cover the buyer's name, address, and payment details before you upload it. We may ask for more proof, and we decide whether to accept a report.
The sales data belongs to Comics Reborn. When you send a report, you give Comics Reborn LLC ownership of the sales information in it (the book, grade, label, cert number, price, date, and where it sold). We may use, combine, publish, and license it, for example as part of our sales data and values, during and after your dealer status, without payment to you. You keep ownership of your photos, and give us permission to store and use them to check your reports (we don't show your photos or proof to other customers).
Seller credit. When we add your sales to Value my slab, we show your business name as the seller ("Sold by"), linked to your website if you gave us one. You agree we can show them this way. Your business's main account can change the name and website in the app. We may remove or change a credit, for example if it's misleading or the business is no longer a verified dealer.
Reports are checked before they're accepted, using automatic checks and our own review. New dealers start with the New rank; dealers with a good record may be promoted to Verified dealer. We decide each dealer's rank and how each report is checked, can change a rank at any time, and may review again, or remove, any report, including one already accepted.
Made-up sales get a strike. Reporting a sale that didn't happen, giving false details on purpose, or using someone else's photos or proof gets the account a strike (see "Strikes and bans" below). The business also goes back to the New rank, and its other reports may be reviewed again or removed. We may also end the business's dealer status.

Collector plan and Dealer plan (subscriptions)

The subscription is called the Collector plan, or the Dealer plan for verified dealer accounts. It includes a larger Auctions watchlist (searching Auctions is free for everyone; without a plan the watchlist holds a few listings, shown in the app), more Show finds (saving books you spot at a comic show; without a plan, a few at a time, shown in the app), Value my slab (sales data for graded books) when it's available, unlimited books and slabs added to My collection with "Add a book" and "Add a slab", and filling in a book's details from its cover photo. Credits can't be used to pay for it.
A paid plan may also include a number of gradings each plan month ("plan credits", shown in the app) when we offer them. Plan credits are used before credits you bought. They start again at the beginning of each plan month: plan credits you don't use expire and don't carry over, and they end when your plan ends. They can't be transferred or exchanged for money. Free access to a plan (for example from a promo code) doesn't include plan credits. Credits you buy are separate and never expire.
Without a plan, you can add a limited number of books and slabs to My collection with "Add a book" and "Add a slab" (the number is shown in the app; books you grade and slabs you save from Value my slab don't count). If you go over it, for example because a plan ends, nothing is removed: you just can't add more until you get a plan or remove some. We may change this number.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Subscriptions bought in the iPhone app are billed, renewed, cancelled, and refunded through your Apple account.
Refunds. Plan payments made on comicsreborn.com are final and non-refundable, except where the law requires a refund. Cancelling stops future charges only: the current month or year you've paid for isn't refunded, in full or in part. Refunds for plans bought in the iPhone app are handled by Apple.
Lookups are unlimited for normal use. To protect the service, there's a daily safety limit, and we may set a monthly limit, shown in the app. Unused lookups don't carry over.
Sales data comes from public sales records and may be incomplete, delayed, or wrong. Values are estimates based on past sales, not appraisals or offers to buy. Labels read from photos may be misread, so check the details before searching.
We may change subscription prices. In the iPhone app, Apple tells you before a price change applies to you.

7. Free periods, promotions, and promo codes

We may offer free gradings, promo codes, or other promotions from time to time, for example at events. We can start, change, limit, or end a promotion at any time, including limiting free gradings per person. Promo codes can be used once per account, have no cash value, and may expire.

8. Your photos

You keep ownership of the photos you upload.
You give Comics Reborn permission to store and process your photos and book details to provide the Service to you, including sending them to our AI service provider to analyze them, and showing you your past gradings.
We do not use customer photos to train our AI, with one exception you control: if you choose to send us the official CGC grade for a book and tick the box agreeing to it, we may use that book's photos and grade to improve the grader after we review them.
Only upload photos you took or have the right to use, and don't upload anything illegal or unrelated to comic books.

9. Acceptable use

Don't misuse the Service. For example, don't try to get around credit or promotion limits, use automated tools to access the Service, interfere with its operation, copy or resell it, or use it to mislead buyers about a book's grade or value.

10. Strikes and bans

If an account breaks these Terms, Comics Reborn may give it a strike. Only Comics Reborn gives strikes. Each strike comes with the reason, sent to your email and shown on your account page in the app.
Three strikes ban the account. A banned account is signed out on every device and can't be used.
Separately from strikes, we may suspend an account while we look into a problem. A suspended account can't be used until we lift the suspension; nothing in it is deleted.
While an account is banned, nothing in it is deleted for 120 days: your credits, your Collector or Dealer plan, and your My collection information (books, slabs, prices, notes, and photos) are kept. If the ban is lifted within those 120 days, everything is restored as it was and the account's strikes are cleared.
After 120 days, a banned account is permanently deleted, together with its credits, gradings, My collection information, and photos, the same as if you had deleted the account yourself. Deleted information can't be recovered, and unused credits aren't refunded.
Only Comics Reborn can lift a ban. If you think a strike or a ban is a mistake, email Jon@comicsreborn.com.
A ban doesn't cancel a subscription bought through the App Store, and the subscription period keeps running while the account is banned. To stop future charges, cancel the subscription in your Apple ID settings; refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple.

14. Closing your account

You can ask us to close your account at any time by emailing Jon@comicsreborn.com. We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If the changes are significant, we'll let you know in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Georgia, unless the law requires otherwise.
