Minimum Sales Orders

There is no minimum Sales Order for shipments within Canada., regardless of the payment method. For any Sales Orders shipped to the U.S., our minimum is $250.00 (CAD) per transaction. The minimum Sales Order amount for shipments to Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand is $1,500.00 (CAD) per transaction.

There is no maximum Sales Order. However, GBS reserves the right to request a ten percent (10%) deposit on Sales Orders deemed “significant” by GBS in its sole discretion, before we will accept and confirm the Sales Order and lock in prices. On Sales Orders greater than $500,000.00 (CAD), we recommend that you contact our Sales Department at (800) 427-4045 to determine if a deposit will apply.

 

Sales Order Price Confirmations

When buying online from us, the price at which your Sales Order is submitted is the locked-in price. There are no added commissions. The only charges GBS adds are for shipping, handling and insurance. The Sales Order price is locked-in for 5 Business Days on Sales Order under $25,000.00 (CAD) and for 3 Business Days on Sales Orders of more than $25,000.00 (CAD). Your confirmation number will be in your return email.

That is the time you have to make your payment to GBS. You must ensure that your payment is dated within 24 hours of the time of your confirmed Sale and received by GBS within 5 Business Days of your confirmed Sale on Sales Orders under $25,000 (CAD) and 3 Business Days of your confirmed Sale on Sales Orders more than $25,000.00 (CAD) to realize your locked-in price.

 

Sales Order Changes

Because a Sales Order may not be changed, we suggest you take the time up front to make sure what you want is exactly what you request from us as reflected in your Sales Order.

 

Sales Order Payment Requirements

When you buy from us, you must ensure that your payment is received by GBS within 5 Business Days from the date your Sales Order is placed for Sales Orders under $25,000.00 (CAD) and within 3 Business Days from the date your Sales Order is placed for Sales Orders of more than $25,000.00 (CAD) to realize your locked-in price. If you default and payment is not timely received by GBS, GBS reserves the right in its sole discretion to (a) accept your payment; (b) refuse your payment and cancel your Sales Order; (c) close your account; and/or (d) preclude you from placing future trades or from making future Sales from GBS.

It is always best to send us your payment immediately to complete your transaction with GBS and avoid any possible default so you can realize the locked-in price as of your confirmation time. When making payment by mail or wire, we recommend making payment the same day your Sales Order is placed and, when mailing payment, that you use a courier service that offers priority delivery and which provides you with a tracking number to ensure timely delivery and tracking capabilities.

If you default and your payment is not timely received by GBS, and a decline in the market price occurs, you will be liable for any Market Loss per our Market Loss Policy. You agree you have full responsibility and liability to GBS for any cancellation fee and/or Market Loss. Any Market Gain on cancellations shall vest in and remain the property of GBS.

 

Cancellations of Sales Orders

Once we have issued a Sales Order confirmation, (a) all prices are locked-in, and (b) there is a binding contract between us for your transaction and, as a result, any market risk for breach is transferred to you at the time the Sales Order is confirmed. This is a benefit to you because you know your price at your Sales Order confirmation time and we believe this is one of the key benefits of transacting with GBS. You have no right to cancel your Sales Order(s). However, if you default in your performance of payment, shipment or any other act required, we may cancel your Sales Order(s). We reserve the right to cancel any Sales Order at any time and for any reason.

Any Sales Order cancellations are subject to our Market Loss Policy plus a thirty-five dollar ($35.00 CAD) cancellation fee. Sales Order cancellations will be confirmed, and you will be given a cancellation number. At that time, if any Market Loss to GBS has occurred, it will be calculated and added to the $35.00 cancellation fee. If applicable, you agree you have full responsibility and liability to GBS for any cancellation fee and/or Market Loss and you agree to remit immediately (upon notice) to GBS good funds for any cancellation fee and/or Market Loss.

No future Orders by you may be permitted unless and until any Market Loss is paid in full. Any Market Gain on Sales Order cancellations vests in and shall remain the property of GBS. Upon written confirmation by GBS of your payment of the $35.00 cancellation fee plus the Market Loss, we will forgive further action against and your responsibility for any breach by you and all resulting damages owed to GBS.

Delivery Terms for Purchase Orders

Once your Purchase Order is confirmed, you may not cancel and are obligated to send the agreed to quality and quantity of Precious Metals to GBS. After confirmation, your Purchase transaction to GBS may be cancelled by GBS if you default in the performance of any of these requirements: (a) you do not call and provide us with the registered mail or other tracking number by the end of Business Day following confirmation of the Purchase Order to us; (b) we do not receive the Precious Metals which are part of such Purchase Order to us within 5 Business Days; and/or (c) Precious Metals are received but do not meet the quality standards, agreed quantity and/or for other non-compliance by you.

Additionally, if your Purchase Order transaction obligation(s) are not met and/or your Purchase Order transaction is cancelled by GBS, you agree you are responsible for and liable to cover any Market Loss we might or do incur by accepting the Purchase Order to buy from you. This is covered in our Market Loss Policy. Furthermore, in our sole discretion, you may not be permitted to buy from or sell to us in the future. If you call and provide us with the registered mail or tracking number as required, and we do not receive the items within 5 Business Days from the date the delivery to us was initiated and the delay is due to Canada Post, USPS, UPS or Federal Express, we may, but are not obligated to, extend the deadline on a case by case basis and in our sole discretion.

We reserve the right to cancel any Purchase Order at any time and for any reason. All risk of loss in any Purchase Order transaction is borne by you until GBS takes actual physical custody and control of each and all of the Product(s) that are the subject of the Purchase Order.

 

Minimum Transaction Size for Purchase Orders

When you sell your items to us, there is no minimum Purchase Order amount.

You can select the payment method as described below that best suits your needs.

This is a benefit to you because you know your price at your Purchase Order confirmation time and we believe this is one of the key benefits of transacting with GBS.

You have no right to cancel Purchase Order(s). However, if you default in your performance of shipment, quality, quantity or any other act required to complete the Purchase Order transaction as required, we may cancel your Purchase Order(s). We reserve the right to cancel any Purchase Order at any time and for any reason.

If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please write to or email us as soon as possible, at the above address. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.

All investments involve risk; Bullion and Coins are no exception. The value of a Bullion Coin (e.g., Canadian Maple Leafs or British Sovereign) is affected by many economic factors, including the current market price of Bullion the perceived scarcity of the Coins and other factors. Some of these factors include the quality and current demand and general market sentiment.

Therefore, because both Bullion and Coins can go down in price as well as up, investing in them may not be suitable for everyone. Because all investments, including Bullion and Coins, can decline in value, you should understand them well, and have adequate cash reserves and disposable income before considering a Bullion or Coin investment. Please consult your financial advisor.

GBS does guarantee that every item that we sell is genuine and that all Precious Metal items do contain the weight, fineness, and purity that we have advertised. However, all investments, of every type, involve some level of risk and Precious Metals are no exception. Like many markets, the Precious Metals market is speculative, and it is unregulated. The value of any Bullion item is generally determined by current spot price of the underlying Precious Metal, and by the supply and demand for these particular items.

These prices will fluctuate throughout the day while the Precious Metals market is open. If you are considering purchasing Precious Metals as an investment, you should assess the stability of the current market and contact your financial advisor for all advice.

 

 

Market Loss Policy

When you buy from GBS, once we have issued a Sales Order confirmation number, you have a binding contract, the transaction price is locked-in and any corresponding market risk is transferred to you. This is a benefit to you because you know your price at your Sales Order confirmation time and we believe this is one of the key benefits of transacting with GBS. If you default in your performance of payment, shipment or any other act required by you, we may cancel your Sales Order(s).

If your Sales Order(s) is cancelled, you agree you have full responsibility and liability to GBS for any Market Loss, plus a thirty-five dollar ($35.00 CAD) cancellation fee.

We reserve the right to cancel any Sales Order at any time and for any reason. All future Sales Orders will be held for shipment until any/all outstanding Market Loss and/or cancellation fee balances have been paid in full.

When you sell to GBS, once we have issued a Purchase Order confirmation number, you have a binding contract, the transaction price is locked-in and the corresponding market risk is transferred to you. This is a benefit to you because you know your price at your Purchase Order confirmation time and we believe this is one of the key benefits of transacting with GBS.

If you default in your performance of shipment, quality or quantity or any other act required by you, we may cancel your Purchase Order(s). If your Purchase Order(s) is cancelled, you agree you have full responsibility and liability to GBS for any Market Loss, plus a thirty-five dollar ($35.00 CAD) cancellation fee. You must also pay, and have full responsibility and liability to, GBS for all fees and costs associated with GBS’ efforts in collecting from you.
