1.2. Why you should read them. Please read these terms carefully before you submit your order to us.

Provisions specific to consumers only are marked with an asterisk (*).

1.4. If you are a business customer this is our entire agreement with you. If you are a business customer these terms constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase.

3. Our contract with you

3.1. How we will accept your order or offer. When you order goods for purchase from our website, we refer to it as your Order and when you make a request for us to buy gold, silver or other metals which you own from you (your goods), we refer to it as your Offer.

4. No Investment Advice

We are not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority and cannot give any advice including investment advice such as comparing precious metals with regulated investments. We also cannot provide advice on any potential tax implications of you entering into the contract with us. You must rely on your own financial, tax and/or accounting advisers.

5. Information we provide / Risks Notice

Although we make reasonable efforts to provide complete and accurate information on our website about the goods we sell, sometimes the information either on our website or in our quote in relation to your Offer may not be complete or accurate. We may correct or change any such information at any time before we accept your Order or Offer.

Risks Notice. We sell goods and buy your goods based on the global metal market's prices, which are outside our control and change frequently. The historical performance of our price, or the global metal market's prices of goods and metal is not a reliable indicator of future prices.

6.3. Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

7. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you if you are a consumer

7.1. We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen.

7.2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products and for defective products under the law.

7.3. We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the products to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 7.1.

Nothing in these terms shall limit or exclude our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable), fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of your statutory rights, and any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict liability.

8.2. Except to the extent expressly stated in clause 14.1 all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 are excluded.

8.4. Subject to clauses 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3, any other liabilities of ours not excluded or limited as above are limited to the price stated in the accepted Order or in Our Quote. If a price is not ascertainable, these liabilities are limited to £100.

9. Cancellation Rights

9.1. You don't have a statutory right to cancel the contract if you change your mind. This is because the prices of the goods are subject to fluctuation.

10. Termination and charges

10.1. You cannot change or withdraw the Order or Offer unless we make any change under clause 5.1 and we ask you to confirm or withdraw your revised Order or Offer.

10.2. Termination by you. You can however choose to terminate your Order at any time prior to delivery or collection of your item(s). This will result in additional charges including but not limited to, a termination fee of £100 (Termination Fee) and a fee based on any adverse movement in the underlying commodity price of your item(s). Apart from that, you may not terminate the contract or any part of it except by giving us written notice after a material breach by us has occurred, or as permitted (if at all) by the Section of these terms and conditions that applies to the transaction or service.

10.3. Termination of contract by us. Before we terminate the contract we will always consider whether any default or problem could be remedied. If it can, we will try to contact you and work with you to try and remedy the breach. However, when a default or problem in our view cannot be remedied, or it is not remedied within reasonable time after we try to contact you about it, or as a result of events beyond our reasonable control as set out in clause 16.6, we reserve the right to terminate. In this case we may terminate the contract or a particular transaction by giving you written notice, or as permitted (if at all) by a Section that applies. We can also terminate (or treat as being terminated) the contract or a particular transaction, if we are released from our obligations under the contract or in relation to the particular transaction. In addition, we may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:

  • 10.3.1. we have not received payment in full after you submitted your Order;
  • 10.3.2. you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products, for example, identification documents satisfactory to us;
  • 10.3.3. you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us or you do not deliver Your Goods to us;

10.4. Changes to your details. If you are an account user and there is any change to the details that we required you to provide for us to set you up as an account user, you must notify us of the changes immediately. If you do not provide us with any further ID we may request from time to time, we may suspend, refuse or block access to the account, and may be entitled to terminate pending transactions or the contract.

11. Consequences of termination

11.1. If you or we terminate the contract or any part of it, all of the following consequences will apply to the contract or the part of it that is terminated:

  • 11.1.1. You will be liable for any adverse movement in the underlying metal price based on the difference in the global market spot price from when your Order was placed or Quote accepted and when the termination is accepted by us.
  • 11.1.2. A Termination Fee will be incurred.
  • 11.1.3. You may have to provide payment for additional services such as delivery of goods to you.
  • 11.1.4. All sums payable to us in respect of the period up to and including the date of termination will fall immediately due and payable.
  • 11.1.5. Our obligations under or in connection with the contract will cease to apply, and we will no longer meet those obligations.
  • 11.1.6. We do not breach the contract or any other obligation to you, or become liable to you, purely by virtue of terminating the contract or any part of it (provided we do so validly).

11.2. Termination or exercise of our remedies will not affect your or our accrued rights and remedies. Provisions in these terms and conditions which expressly or by implication have effect after termination will continue in full force and effect.

11.3. We may withdraw the product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the product. We will let you know in advance of our stopping the supply of the product and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for products which will not be provided.
