BY SETTING UP A USER ACCOUNT WITH US, OR BY ACCESSING, BROWSING, OR OTHERWISE USING OUR WEBSITE, CONTENT, OR SERVICES (ALL DEFINED BELOW), YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY (LINKED BELOW). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND, YOU ARE PROHIBITED FROM ANY AND ALL USE OF OUR WEBSITE, CONTENT, AND SERVICES THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN PERMITTED UNDER THESE TERMS AND THE PRIVACY POLICY.

1. Acceptance of the Terms

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Vintage Verified, LLC (“Vintage Verified  ”, “we” or “us”) governing the use of our website at [www.vintageverified.com] (or as updated by Vintage Verified from time to time) or social media or mobile applications (collectively the “Website”), of “Content,” which refers to online or published audio, video, imagery, or other content generated by Vintage Verified or by others for Vintage Verified’s services, such as “User Submissions” (defined below), and of “Services,” which are the services created, planned, implemented, or operated by Vintage Verified, such as apps, plugins, executables, or other software or hardware or other products provided, installed, created, or operated by or on behalf of Vintage Verified  (the “Service(s)”). You represent and warrant that: (i) you are at least 18 years of age; or (ii) as parent or guardian, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy (linked below) and you are responsible for the use of the Website, Content, or Services by any minor who is in your household or under your care or supervision. 

2. Modifications to these Terms

These Terms may be changed, modified, amended, supplemented, or otherwise updated from time to time by Vintage Verified without advance notice to you. By continuing to access, browse, or otherwise use the Website, Content, or Services, you are bound by any such updated Terms. Vintage Verified, in its sole discretion, has the option, but not the obligation, to provide notice of any update to these Terms by means of a conspicuous alert, banner, or notification displayed on the Website or within the Services or by sending an email to the email address provided by you to Vintage Verified.

3. General Service(s) Terms and Conditions 

  1. Instrument Authentication and Report: You are requesting the authentication services of Vintage Verified, which involve experts verifying the authenticity of an instrument and determining its value. This process includes a comprehensive assessment of various aspects such as the instrument's make, model, age, condition, and any unique features or markings (“Instrument Authentication”). Upon completion of the Instrument Authentication, the expert shall provide a detailed report or certificate that confirms the instrument's authenticity and typically includes information about its provenance and market value. This report can be utilized for insurance purposes, resale, or personal records (“Instrument Report”). For the avoidance of doubt, any information, data, software, text, displays, images, photographs, video, audio, or other content captured by Vintage Verified during the Instrument Authentication process regarding your instrument(s) remains the sole and exclusive property of Vintage Verified. You may only use such materials for your own personal, non-commercial use. You shall not reproduce, distribute, license, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of these materials unless prior written permission is given to you by Vintage Verified.


  1. Instrument Possession and Security: By agreeing to these Terms, you consent to leave your instrument(s) with Vintage Verified for the duration of the Instrument Authentication. During the Instrument Authentication, your instrument(s) will be stored in a secure and controlled environment to ensure their safety and integrity. Vintage Verified guarantees that while your instrument(s) are in its possession, the instrument(s) will be fully insured against any potential loss, theft, or damage. Vintage Verified will notify you promptly upon the completion of the Instrument Authentication and arrange for the return and/or delivery of your instrument(s) in a timely manner along with the Instrument Report.


  1. Disassembly and Authentication Process: To perform the Instrument Authentication, Vintage Verified may need to disassemble your instrument(s). If you request that an instrument not be disassembled, please be aware that Vintage Verified will be unable to perform the full and complete Instrument Authentication process. In such instances, Vintage Verified will document any areas of uncertainty throughout the Instrument Authentication. Please note that choosing not to disassemble your instrument(s) may affect the accuracy and completeness of the authentication results. Vintage Verified shall not be held liable for any skewed or incomplete results arising from the inability to fully disassemble and inspect the instrument(s).


  1. Instrument Authentication Report and Time Stamping: Upon completion of the Instrument Authentication, you will receive both a physical and digital copy of our findings. The physical Instrument Report will include a printed timestamp. The digital Instrument report will feature a timestamp issued by a Trusted Third Party (“TTP”) acting as a Time Stamping Authority (“TSA”). These timestamps allow both you and Vintage Verified to document the instrument’s condition at the time of authentication. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the completion of the Instrument Authentication process and the subsequent return or transfer of the instrument, Vintage Verified hereby disclaims any responsibility for the instrument's condition. Vintage Verified cannot guarantee, nor will Vintage Verified be held liable for any changes, alterations, or damages that may occur to the instrument(s) after it has been returned to you or transferred to another party. This limitation of liability applies to all circumstances and conditions beyond Vintage Verified’s control once the instrument is no longer in its possession.


  1. Use and Representation of Instrument Report: You agree not to alter, misrepresent, or otherwise modify the Instrument Report provided to you by Vintage Verified in any degree, particularly in any way that could mislead or misrepresent to others about an instrument’s value, originality, or condition in a sale or other transaction. Vintage Verified shall not be held liable for any misrepresentations or modifications made to the Instrument Report after it has been issued to you.

16. International Use, Sanctions, and Export Policy 

Although this Website may be accessible worldwide, Vintage Verified makes no representation that materials on this Website are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States. Those who choose to access this Website from other locations do so on their own initiative and at their own risk. If you choose to access this Website from outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local laws in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to, the taxation of products purchased over the Internet. Any offer for any Content or Service, or materials or information made in connection with this Website, Content, or Services, is void where prohibited. You are prohibited from using any Vintage Verified Website, Content, or Services, if you are the subject of U.S. sanctions or of sanctions consistent with U.S. law imposed by the governments of the country where you are using the Website, Content or Services. You are required and solely responsible to comply with all U.S. or other export and re-export restrictions that may apply to goods, software, technology, and services.

17. Infringement Notices

If you believe that any content on the Website or the Services or any other Content violates or infringes upon your intellectual property rights pursuant to Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(2), please notify us immediately of the alleged infringement at John J. Griffin, Kay Griffin Evans, PLLC, 222 Second Avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee 37201 with all specifics necessary for us to consider and respond to your complaint. You may be asked to provide additional information and follow additional procedures for us to act on your complaint. 

If you learn that the Website, Content, or any Services are subject to a threatened or actual third-party claim of infringement, violation of another right, or any other claim for which Vintage Verified, Content contributors, or any of their respective affiliates may be liable, you will promptly notify Vintage Verified of any such claim. If Vintage Verified, the Content contributors, or any of their respective affiliates learns of such a claim from you, the third party or otherwise and Vintage Verified, in its sole good faith discretion, determine that the claim raises an inappropriate legal risk, upon notice from us, you will: (i) remove Content from your computer systems and storage devices (electronic or physical), and (ii) cease any future use of the Website, Services, and Content at your own expense if possible. If you do remove and cease use of Website, Services, or Content, we may choose to refund your fees for future use, or without charge provide you with other services or content that we determine with your consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, is comparable, subject to the other terms and conditions of these Terms. Repeat infringers will be terminated and barred from using the Website, Services, or Content.

18. Binding Arbitration

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms, or your use of the Website, Content, or Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow these Terms, as a court would be bound to follow. To begin an arbitration proceeding you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the attention of John J. Griffin, at Kay Griffin Evans, PLLC, 222 Second Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37201. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org  or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Vintage Verified will not seek outside attorney fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the Venue or at another mutually agreed location. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring a legal proceeding before a court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. 

For the avoidance of doubt, if you are dissatisfied with Vintage Verified's findings or disagree with any aspect of the Instrument Report, you agree to communicate directly with Vintage Verified to resolve the matter. By accepting these Terms, you expressly waive any right to initiate legal proceedings or litigation concerning the results of the Instrument Report. If the dispute remains unresolved through direct communication, the Arbitration clause shall apply at Vintage Verified's sole discretion. 

19. Jurisdiction and Governing Law

These Terms shall be construed, governed, and enforced under the laws of the United States and the State of Tennessee (without regard to rules governing conflict of laws).
