Legal · Limited to 100 Founding Memberships
Founding Member Terms & Payment Authorization
Effective Date: August 21, 2026 · Last Updated: August 24, 2026
These Founding Member Terms supplement the general LGA Terms and Conditions. By requesting a Founding Membership and checking the acceptance box presented during enrollment, you agree to both agreements.
1. Limited Founding Membership
The LGA Founding Member Program is limited to the first 100 customers who successfully qualify for and complete Founding Membership enrollment under LGA's procedures.
No more than 100 numbered Founding Memberships will be issued.
Each Founding Member will receive an individually numbered Founding Member designation from 1 through 100.
Once all 100 memberships have been allocated, enrollment will close unless LGA is filling a membership that was never completed, was cancelled before activation, or was otherwise invalid.
2. $150 Founding Membership Fee
The Founding Membership fee is a one-time charge of $150.
The fee is charged at enrollment, when you submit your payment information.
Payment is processed immediately and securely by LGA's authorized third-party payment processor (currently Authorize.net).
This charge applies only to the Founding Membership fee described here and does not authorize unrelated charges.
3. Payment Processing
LGA does not directly store full credit-card numbers, CVV/security codes, or other prohibited authentication data on its own website or servers. Payment information is transmitted directly to and processed by LGA's PCI-compliant payment processor.
The payment processor maintains its own security and privacy practices, including applicable payment-card security requirements.
4. Refunds Before Launch
Your $150 Founding Membership fee is fully refundable, upon request, at any time before the official LGA launch date. The launch date will be announced to Founding Members in advance.
Refund requests may be sent to hello@lgabricks.com from the email address associated with the membership. Refunds are issued to the original payment method.
If a Founding Membership is refunded, the membership, its number, and its benefits are released and the position may be offered to another customer.
If LGA elects not to launch the Founding Member Program, all Founding Membership fees will be refunded.
5. Reserve Line
Once all 100 Founding Memberships have been taken, additional customers may join the reserve line.
Joining the reserve line does not charge your card. Your payment method is securely retained by LGA's payment processor as a stored payment credential, as described in Section 3.
By joining the reserve line, you authorize LGA to charge the stored payment method the one-time $150 Founding Membership fee if and when a Founding Membership position becomes available and is assigned to you before the official launch date. LGA will notify you when this occurs, and the refund rights in Section 4 apply to that charge.
Joining the reserve line does not guarantee that a Founding Membership will become available. Stored payment credentials for reserve-line customers who do not receive a membership may be removed after launch.
6. Lifetime 10% Founding Member Discount
Once the $150 Founding Membership fee has been successfully paid and the membership activated, the Founding Member will receive: 10% off eligible LGA grading-service orders for life.
"Lifetime" means for so long as LGA continues operating the applicable grading business and the Founding Member's account remains active and in good standing.
The discount:
- applies to eligible LGA grading/service fees;
- does not apply to taxes, shipping, insurance, third-party charges, or other excluded charges unless LGA expressly states otherwise;
- may not ordinarily be combined with another discount or promotion unless LGA permits it;
- has no cash value; and
- is associated with the original Founding Member and is non-transferable unless LGA expressly approves otherwise in writing.
7. Numbered Founding Member Badge
Each activated Founding Member will receive a unique numbered Founding Member badge/designation reflecting their place among the original 100 members. For example: FOUNDING MEMBER No. 001 of 100.
The Founding Member number is intended to remain associated with that Founding Member.
Founding Member numbers have no guaranteed monetary or resale value.
8. First-Order Elite Upgrade
Each activated Founding Member receives an additional one-time launch benefit: Elite service at Standard service pricing for ALL eligible items included in the Founding Member's first qualifying order.
This means that, for the Founding Member's first qualifying submission order, each eligible item submitted under this benefit receives the features and service level associated with the Elite package, while the customer pays the applicable Standard package price for that item.
This benefit applies to all eligible items on that single first order, not merely one item.
Applicable shipping, insurance, taxes, oversize charges, custom-case charges, special handling, and other charges outside the underlying grading package remain payable unless expressly waived by LGA.
The benefit is: One order. One time. All eligible items on that order.
After that first qualifying order, the Founding Member's lifetime 10% discount continues to apply to eligible future orders.
9. Service Eligibility and Extraordinary Items
The first-order Elite-at-Standard benefit applies only to items that LGA can service within its published or accepted grading and encapsulation program.
Extremely large, unusual, custom, or otherwise exceptional items requiring custom fabrication or services may require additional charges or a custom quote.
LGA will disclose applicable additional charges before proceeding where required.
10. Membership Activation
A Founding Membership is activated when the $150 Founding Membership fee has been successfully processed at enrollment and the numbered membership has been assigned.
Pre-launch benefits (such as the numbered designation) apply immediately; service benefits apply from launch.
11. Cancellation
Cancelling a Founding Membership before the official launch date is done by requesting a refund under Section 4.
If a membership is cancelled, the position, number, discount, and other Founding Member benefits are released and the former member has no continuing claim to them.
12. Refunds After Launch
After the official LGA launch date, the $150 Founding Membership fee is non-refundable except where required by law.
13. Abuse and Fraud
LGA may terminate or suspend Founding Member benefits in cases of fraud, chargeback abuse, account manipulation, unauthorized transfer or resale of membership benefits, misuse of LGA certification systems, or other material violation of LGA's Terms.
LGA will not terminate a legitimate lifetime membership merely to avoid honoring the promised discount.
14. Program Changes
Because the 10% lifetime discount, numbered Founding Member status, and first-order Elite-at-Standard benefit are material inducements for payment of the $150 Founding Membership fee, LGA will not arbitrarily revoke those earned benefits after activation.
LGA may make reasonable administrative changes to the program that do not materially eliminate the core benefits promised at enrollment.
15. Relationship to General Terms
These Founding Member Terms supplement LGA's general Terms and Conditions.
If there is a conflict concerning the specific Founding Member benefits or Founding Member payment authorization, these Founding Member Terms control with respect to that subject.
