5. Order Policies and Procedures

By creating an Account, you agree that BGASC, and its designees and agents, may contact you by any available means, including, but not limited to, by phone, by text message, and by email.

You may make purchases, sell to, and order from BGASC only in accordance with this Agreement and accompanying policies and procedures.  Upon placing an order to purchase or sell with BGASC, you have entered into a binding and legally enforceable agreement.  Prices and availability are subject to change without notice.

When placing an order on the Website, the price at which your order is submitted is the guaranteed price.  An “order number” will subsequently be forwarded to you via email.  Your credit card information is required to guarantee all orders.  In order to reserve your guaranteed price, your payment must be received by BGASC within two (2) business days for bank wire orders.  All check orders must be postmarked for delivery within one (1) business day.  If a check payment is not received in its entirety within ten (10) calendar days of the original order date, or a bank wire order is not received in its entirety within two (2) business days of the original order date, any market losses between the order date and time of non-payment will be assessed.

A completed order is denoted by our receipt of funds in our bank account (wire) or clearance of payment (check).  In most cases, orders will be denied if payment is completed after the allotted time frame.  If any order is in error due to BGASC’s fault or otherwise, we reserve the right to cancel the order.

6. Sell-To-Us Program

When selling to BGASC through the Sell-To-Us Program, all products sold to BGASC must have a minimum Sell-To-Us price sum of $1,000, unless otherwise arranged at BGASC’s discretion.  Most Sell-To-Us prices will be locked in up front when the customer’s credit card information is collected.  Sell-To-Us prices are calculated based upon the customer’s good faith representation of the product and the current Spot Prices.   However, BGASC reserves the right to require product receipt prior to locking in all Sell-To-Us prices.  Upon receipt of the products, BGASC will inspect the products for authenticity, quantity, and condition.  If the products are not true to the customer’s initial representations, BGASC reserves the right to make a revised offer or reject the transaction at its discretion. In the event of rejection, the customer is responsible for all return shipping fees, which will be automatically charged to the customer’s credit card on file.  As a general policy, the Sell-To-Us orders may not be cancelled but may be offset at BGASC’s current purchase price.

Products sold to BGASC must be shipped within one (1) business day, and you must contact BGASC via email at customerservice@bgasc.com or telephone at 800-313-3315, to provide a tracking number so we may confirm the product is en route. Should you choose to use one of our prepaid shipping labels, you are responsible for following all shipping instructions you are sent to ensure the shipping insurance is valid. Customers are responsible for all costs related to shipping Sell-To-Us products to BGASC.  All products must be received by BGASC within ten (10) business days, or you will be charged any Market Losses.  If BGASC does not receive the product within ten (10) business days and the delay is attributable to the carrier, BGASC may extend the deadline, in its sole and absolute discretion.  Customers are solely responsible for the Sell-To-Us products they ship to BGASC up until BGASC confirms receipt of such products.  BGASC is not responsible or liable for products that are lost or damaged in transit, whether being shipped to or from BGASC. Packages that arrive damaged to our facility will be rejected.

Without limiting any other legal or equitable rights and remedies that may be available to BGASC, in the event of any failure by you to comply with this Agreement, BGASC may suspend or terminate your account.  The suspension or the termination of your account shall not affect your obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

Additional terms, including, without limitation, prices, payment methods, refund and cancellation policies, and exchange policies may be posted from time to time on the Website.

We reserve the right, but undertake no obligation, to actively report and prosecute actual and suspected fraud. We may, in our discretion, require further authorization from you such as a telephone confirmation of your order and other information. We reserve the right to cancel, delay, refuse to ship, or recall from the shipper any order if fraud is suspected.  We capture certain information during the order process, including, without limitation, information that will be used to locate and identify individuals committing fraud.  If any Website order is suspected to be fraudulent, we reserve the right, but undertake no obligation, to submit all records, with or without a subpoena, to all law enforcement agencies, banks and credit card issuers for fraud investigation.  We fully reserve the right to cooperate with authorities to prosecute offenders of the law.

8. Payment Options

BGASC requires all payments be made via credit card, debit card, bank wire, personal check, certified check, cashier’s check, ACH/eCheck, bitcoin, or money order.  BGASC does not accept credit card convenience checks or any third-party checks. Depending upon the amount of an order, BGASC reserves the right to request additional documentation for certain orders.  BGASC also reserves the right to hold cleared certified checks, personal checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders for up to ten (10) banking days prior to shipping. In cases of suspected fraud, certified checks, personal checks, cashier’s checks, ACH/eCheck, or money orders may be held up to 45 (forty-five) calendar days, although this is rare. Payment via bank wire is always recommended. By choosing to pay with a credit or debit card, you expressly authorize BGASC to authorize and capture your credit card payment prior to shipment.

Credit/Debit card payment for products purchased through the Website are processed through a third-party payment processor, such as CyberSource and/or PayPal.  You understand and agree that a $0.01 charge may temporarily appear in your pending transactions when you process an order through BGASC’s third-party payment processors. This temporary charge will be voided. BGASC will not be held liable for any overdraws that may occur because of the $0.01 charge. You agree that you are solely responsible for paying all applicable taxes, duties, levies, or charges imposed by any governmental entity anywhere in the world in connection with your use of the Website and/or purchase of services through the Website to that applicable governmental entity.  You understand and agree that BGASC will not be held liable for any user’s failure to complete a transaction entered through the Website.

BGASC expressly reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order, for any reason, at its sole discretion, regardless of payment method and price confirmation.

10. Cancellation Policy

Once you have placed an order with BGASC you have entered into a binding legal agreement and you may not cancel the confirmed order. However, after your confirmed order has been placed, prior to it being shipped, the confirmed Purchase Price (“Purchase Price”) may be offset (product sold to BGASC) at BGASC’s current Asking Price (“Asking Price”) on the day that we receive your written request for such an offsetting transaction. Credit/debit card orders may not be offset 24+ hours following the time of order creation.

All order offset requests must be made during normal business hours, Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM US Central time. BGASC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to permit cancellation and/or offsetting your order.

Offsetting orders may be approved over telephone, live chat, or email, at which time BGASC shall provide you with a cancellation confirmation and the total Market Losses and fees.  Offsetting orders are subject to our market loss policy, described below. As applicable, the difference between the Purchase Price and the Asking Price will determine the fee.  In the event of a confirmed cancelled order, you expressly authorize BGASC to automatically bill the credit or debit card on file for the difference between the Purchase Price and the Asking Price.  Alternatively, in the event your credit or debit card is denied, BGASC reserves the right to invoice you, in which case you expressly agree to pay the amount due, in full, within ten (10) business days.  Future orders are not permitted unless and until any cancellation and other related fees are paid in full.  All market gains on cancellations shall belong solely to BGASC.

For cancelled/offsetting orders, the difference between the Purchase Price and the Asking Price will be charged. After BGASC has shipped the product, the order is final and cannot be canceled.  If you refuse to accept the shipment, the product will be returned to us and you may either pay to have it reshipped or accept Market Loss fees upon return. BGASC reserves the right to refuse or cancel an order for any reason or for no reason at all, regardless of payment method or price confirmation, including without limitation, for orders BGASC deems questionable or suspicious, for orders BGASC deems to be a significant risk, when the confirmed price is incorrect, for abrupt movements in the precious metals market, and/or when BGASC does not receive payment within the allotted timeframe.

BGASC is not responsible for pricing or typographical errors related to merchandise on the Website, and expressly reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel all orders placed with respect to such merchandise. In the event of a cancelled order, BGASC will contact you directly with notification of the cancellation.

In some instances, if the order has been packaged and prepared for shipment but has not been picked up by the shipper, BGASC may, at its sole and absolute discretion, attempt to intercept the package from shipping. This is rarely possible, but when it is, a $25.00 charge will be charged to the customer’s credit card on file.

11. Return Policy

BGASC’s refund, return and exchange policy is limited to five (5) business days from the date you receive the item.  You must notify BGASC’s Customer Service Department via telephone at 800-313-3315 within five (5) business days from the date you receive the item and follow the instructions provided to you at that time.  Shipping charges are non-refundable.  You are fully responsible for all taxes, as well as return shipping costs, including insuring your return shipment.  BGASC may reject any returned or exchanged item that does not conform to these terms.  Shipments returned to us will not be held more than 3 days. In the case of a request for an exchange, BGASC expressly reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to find an acceptable replacement or refund your money should an acceptable replacement be unavailable.  Returns, refunds and exchanges are subject to BGASC’s Market Loss Policy. All market gains on refunds, returns, and exchanges shall belong solely to BGASC.

12. BGASC Market Loss Policy

Upon issuance of an order number following a purchase from BGASC, the price is guaranteed, and you may not cancel the transaction.  The transaction may only be offset at BGASC’s current asking price.  If your item is cancelled, you are responsible for any deficit between the price at which BGASC sold the item to you and the offsetting purchase price.  As set forth above, all cancellations are subject to our Market Loss Policy.  Market gains on cancellations or returns shall remain the property of BGASC. Furthermore and to the extent BGASC does not have any of your funds in its possession, BGASC reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to charge market loss fees to any credit card you have on file with BGASC.

Without limiting any other legal or equitable rights and remedies that may be available to BGASC, BGASC may elect to apply any and all of your funds in its possession to satisfy your monetary obligations and/or may offset any obligations that BGASC may have to you.  BGASC also reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to apply any/all funds in its possession toward the satisfaction of your obligations to BGASC.

13. Shipment

Once your order ships, you will receive a Shipped email with a tracking number. Note that it in some cases it may take 24-48 hours for tracking to begin.

BGASC fully insures all its shipments, and each package over $1,000 requires a signature upon delivery. Should anything happen while your package is in transit to you, it will be covered by our insurance policy subject to the other conditions set forth in this Section 13. However, once a package is shown to be delivered by the carrier, BGASC’s responsibility ends.

It is important you are prepared to be physically present at the shipping address when the shipment is delivered. We will not accept responsibility if the carrier leaves the package without your acceptance, leaves the package without a signature, or leaves the package with anyone other than the addressee. This includes but is not limited to a building manager, neighbor, a business mailroom, drop-off location such as mailboxes, etc., post office (PO) boxes, the UPS Store, the Military Postal Service, etc. Note that if you use one of these locations as the shipping address, BGASC is not responsible. In addition, if the carrier returns the package to sender due to no one being available to receive your package, we will not accept responsibility if something goes wrong in the return to sender process.   This includes the package not making it back to our distribution center, damage or missing contents, etc.

Additionally, we will not assume responsibility for packages that are forwarded, signed for by apartment/complex building management, a business mailroom, the Military Postal Service or any person(s) that is not the addressee listed on the order.

Delivered but not Received –Please note that BGASC will not be responsible for reimbursements or insurance claims on packages that are successfully delivered as addressed. Our liability and insurance cease the moment the package is signed for or left at the specified delivery address. Any issues or problems with a shipment MUST be reported to BGASC within two (2) calendar days of recorded delivery, else BGASC may deny any claim.

Lost in Transit – Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS & FedEx, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days of most recent tracking for USPS and 3 days of most recent tracking for UPS & FedEx. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

Missing or Damaged Contents – This is defined as packages that arrive to you with missing items, wrong items, or damaged items. You must notify us with 48 hours of the delivery timestamp on the tracking. Failure to do so will result in loss of insurance coverage.

For any of these issues, BGASC assumes responsibility to pursue any claim with the insurance company; provided that you agree to cooperate with us in filing a claim for damaged/lost merchandise in any manner we may reasonably request, including the signing of an Affidavit stating the circumstances surrounding the damaged/lost merchandise within the allotted time frame. If we determine the package is lost or damaged, we will file a claim. Once the claim is filed, we reserve the right to reship your items or refund your money at our discretion.

28. Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver; Waiver of Jury Trial

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND BGASC EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY FOR ALL DISPUTES, EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR INFRINGEMENT OF YOUR OR OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (SUCH AS COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, DOMAINS, LOGOS, TRADE DRESS, TRADE SECRETS, AND PATENTS). Such disputes include, but shall not limited to, those arising directly or indirectly or alleged to arise from, in relation to, or in any way in connection with your rights of privacy and publicity. Such disputes will be resolved through final and binding arbitration, which is typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. You and BGASC agree not to combine a dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Agreement with a dispute that is not eligible for arbitration under this Agreement.

Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead, all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth herein.

Required Use of JAMS. You agree that the arbitration will be administered by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS”) under the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (collectively, the “JAMS Rules”). The arbitration will be presided over by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The JAMS Rules, information regarding initiating an arbitration, and a description of the arbitration process are available at www.jamsadr.com. The location of the arbitration and the allocation of fees and costs for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the JAMS Rules.

Initiating Arbitration. If you intend to seek arbitration you must first send a written notice (the “Notice”), by certified U.S. Mail to the following:

Buy Gold and Silver Corp
Attn:  Legal Department
6125 Luther Lane, #474
Dallas, Texas 75225

If BGASC intends to seek arbitration, BGASC will send the Notice to the current billing address on your account with BGASC. The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. If you and BGASC cannot reach an agreement within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Notice, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings.

Place to File Permitted Court Actions. If your dispute is related to intellectual property rights, or if the arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, you and BGASC agree and consent that such disputes will be resolved in the federal or state courts in the State of Texas, as applicable, and that you and BGASC agree to submit to personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in the State of Texas.

Time Limit to Commence Arbitration. You and BGASC agree that for any dispute (except intellectual property disputes), you or BGASC must commence an arbitration proceeding within one year after the dispute first arose; otherwise, such dispute is permanently barred. This means that if we or you do not commence an arbitration within one year after the dispute first arose, the arbitration will be dismissed as untimely.

Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with BGASC.

29. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect.

30. Entire Agreement

32. Statute of Limitations

YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

33. Child Online Privacy Protection Act

The Website is not directed to persons under the age of eighteen (18) and BGASC will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of eighteen (18).
