Godley IGH Terms
and Conditions
Definition
In these Conditions "the Company"
means the company issuing the quotation or acceptance of Order or
invoice or otherwise assuming the obligation of seller under any
contract to which these conditions apply. "Goods" refer
to the products the customer is offered requested or has purchased
through Godley International Gold House.
General
1. All information supplied on registration must be fully correct
at the time of application and absolutely all changes must be reported
to the company immediately.
2. The company reserves the right to refuse application for registration
at the company's absolute discretion.
3. The company reserves the right to alter any of the terms and
conditions with out prior notice, informing the customer of such
changes immediately.
4. Except for small orders, unless otherwise agreed in writing,
there will be no variation to the terms and conditions as stated
here.
Transactions Must be Confirmed
No order for the purchase or sale of Metals or Coins shall be binding
upon Godley IGH unless and until the Transaction is confirmed by
Godley IGH with a trade number given to Client. Godley IGH, in its
sole discretion, may discontinue accepting orders for the purchase
of any Metals or Coins or alter or terminate its repurchase policy
at any time without advance notice.
Client Bears Market Risk After Purchase; General Risks Associated
with Metals and Coins
Once a transaction is confirmed
by Godley IGH, a contract is created. Regardless of what happens
to the price of the Metals or Coins after the Transaction is confirmed,
the contracted price is binding on Client and Godley IGH. Client
bears the full risk of any movement in the market price of the Metals
or Coins between the time of purchase and subsequent delivery. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, Client is obligated to take
delivery of Metals and Coins in consideration of the purchase price
originally established in the Transaction, regardless of any subsequent
change in the value of the Metals or Coins. Client acknowledges
that prices of metals and coins are volatile, and therefore the
prices of Metals and Coins may fluctuate significantly over time,
based upon numerous factors, including supply and demand among collectors
and political and economic conditions.
Payment
1. We accept payment in cleared
funds. We accept personal cheques, company cheques, and bank drafts,
which we clear, allowing a full working week if drawn on a UK bank.
This is our preferred payment method for small payments (under about
£10,000). We also accept bank transfers. Our bank details
are shown on the About Us page. If you pay by bank transfer, we
like to have a written order by conventional mail.
2. We will accept payment in any negotiable currency at our discretion.
3. We normally require security before entering into any contract.
This may take the form of a deposit, or full payment. We may at
our discretion waive this requirement for small quantities.
4. Clients ordering by post, telephone, internet or other remote
methods may wish to use our order forms. If an agreement is made
by telephone, we will require the purchaser's name, address, and
telephone number at the point of agreement. We then expect a faxed
or e-mailed confirmation immediately, confirming that payment has
been effected. If the agreement is to post a cheque, then it must
be posted by first class post in time to be collected and postmarked
the same day, so that it should be received within two working days.
The confirmation should include all identification details necessary.
5. For large transactions, where we hold a deposit, cleared funds
should reach us within 48 hours.
6. For all purchases, if Godley IGH for any reason fails to receive
Client's payment as required herein within two business days of
the transaction date, Godley IGH in its discretion may at any time
thereafter sell the Metals or Coins covered by the Transaction without
further notice to or authorization from Client and hold Client responsible
for any losses and costs incurred by Godley IGH as a result. Client
agrees immediately upon demand to pay and reimburse Godley IGH for
all transaction fees and all losses incurred by Godley IGH as a
result of any such payment default by Client and subsequent liquidation
of the Metals or Coins involved. This will be taken from any deposit
or security.
Delivery
Metals or Coins will usually be
shipped to Client within two business days via registered, insured
mail, once the final payment in Good Funds has been received and
the funds have cleared. Where we have allowed a full week for cheque
clearance we may often reduce this period. At times of heavy demand,
we may require an extra day for goods delivery. Delays can and do
occur in us receiving inward deliveries thus our delivery time to
you will not be "of the essence" to the contract. If you
need delivery by a particular guaranteed date or time, you must
state this before completing an agreement with us, and higher prices
and / or stricter payment conditions may, although not usually,
apply.
Losses During Shipment; Force Majeure
Godley IGH shall not be responsible
for any loss or disappearance of any Metals or Coins while with
postal courier or otherwise shipped or delivered in accordance with
this contract or with Client's instructions for any Transaction(s).
Client shall make claim and have recourse to any postal insurance
or other claim against the courier service, and not Godley IGH.
Furthermore, in the event of any act of God, transportation or shipping
disruption or breakdown, failure of utilities or telecommunications,
war, labour unrest, or other event beyond Godley IGH's reasonable
control, whether or not similar to the foregoing, the obligations
of Godley IGH hereunder shall be suspended to the extent affected
thereby and Godley IGH shall have no liability to Client as a result
thereof.
Identification and Notification
(Except for Export Sales)
We are legally obliged to obtain
and retain identification records for every purchaser or seller
for a minimum of six years.
Buying and Selling
Although we have referred mainly to customers as buyers, these notes
should be understood to apply similarly to customers who are selling
to us, in which case we expect shipment to us without delay, and
we will make payment by return post.
If Client wishes to sell Metals
or Coins or Scrap to Godley IGH, Client may telephone or otherwise
contact a Godley IGH marketing representative and advise such representative
that Client desires to sell Metals or Coins or Scrap to Godley IGH.
If so instructed by Godley IGH representative, Client shall deliver
the Metals or Coins or Scrap to be sold, at Client's risk and expense,
to offices of Godley IGH. Upon Godley IGH receipt of the Metals
or Coins or Scrap, Godley IGH shall verify the quantity and quality
of the delivery, usually within one business day, and then telephone
or otherwise contact Client to set a purchase price based on the
then-current bid price for such Metals or Coins or Scrap. At such
time, a Transaction number will be given to Client to confirm the
Transaction. No purchase Transaction occurs prior to Godley IGH
giving Client a Transaction number. Godley IGH will issue payment
for the Transaction to Client within two business days of the Transaction
date. In the event that Godley IGH cannot verify the quantity or
quality of the Metals or Coins o Scrap, or if Client does not accept
Godley IGH's bid price therefore, then the Metals or Coins will
be returned by at Client's risk and expense via registered, insured
mail.
Patents
To the best of the company's knowledge goods sold to the customer
will not infringe any patent, trademark, registered design or copyright
of any third party but the company shall in no circumstance be liable
to the customer in respect of an such infringement.
Proper Law
All contracts between the company and customer will be deemed to
have be entered into at the place of the company's office and shall
be governed by English Law.
