SGS Terms & Conditions: BIDDING NOTICE: This is an Online - Internet Only Timed Auction. All bidding activity will take place online. Shipping on all items, no local pick-up. For all winning bidders, you will receive a Settlement email having a "View/Pay Invoice" link attached soon after the auction close. The customer has 24-hours to pay the invoice via the "View/Pay Invoice" Link. Prompt payments allow faster shipping. Once your funds have cleared, with no outstanding issues, your item is shipped. If payment not received within 24-hours, SGS will perform an auto-run for the invoice amount owed to the credit card you place on-file when you registered with HiBid. If an auto-run is required, SGS requires that you confirm that the transaction is "Acceptable" or is "Approved". All items will be held in shipping until a confirmation has been received. If no form of acknowledgement or confirmation has been received from the customer within 7-days, the Item will be returned to the auction inventory and all related funds will be forfeited to SGS to cover the additional administration cost caused by the customer's noncompliance of these Terms & Conditions. SGS reserves the right to request that an ACH or Wire Transfer be utilized for payment for any item sold. Additional restrictions may apply to new bidders or bidders with a low bidder score. Private offers (below initial "Bid" value shown), can be sent to; "Stratford1955@icloud.com". Allow 1 to 2 hours for the auctioneer to obtain feedback from the consignor, so please present the offer at least 2.5 hours before auction closing. SGS also accepts "Buy-Up" assignments. Tell us what you are wanting, your wish list, and the budget you have to work with. SGS will perform the item/s' search and purchase everything for you. SGS will never pay more than an item's worth, and we strive to find the good deals available from multiple auction sites. For example: A buy-up order with a $100k budget could take 2-weeks to complete, but all items would be confirmed as a good buy. SGS can also handle all of your NGC/PCGS/Other submittals (raw coins to be graded). SGS would purchase the raw coins for you, then submit to the grading company of your choice. Terms & Conditions; STRATFORD GOLD & SILVER LLC (i.e.; SGS) A Bidder's Bid, at all times, represents an irrevocable offer by the bidder to enter into a binding contract to purchase the lot in accordance with the specific provisions of the listing and these general terms and conditions, as applicable, even if a higher bid was received by SGS. In the event that any reserve price of a lot is not exceeded by any bidder's bid, SGS, at its sole discretion, with or without the knowledge of or notice to any bidder, may reduce any reserve price to an amount below the bid of the bidder at any time during an auction and accept the bid made by the bidder. Reserve prices are confidential information of SGS and are not always disclosed to bidders unless specifically stated as such during bidding. Nothing contained in any listing shall be construed to disclose any reserve price unless otherwise stated. In the placing of any bid, the bidder understands and agrees that the bid, once accepted by SGS, will be the winning bid if there is no higher bid by another bidder and if any reserve or reduced reserve on the lot is exceeded by the bid. All bids are binding, irrevocable, and non-cancelable by the bidder. SGS has final discretion on the sale of a lot. All sales are "as-is" and final. The decisions of SGS are final. In the unlikely event that we lose our internet connection, SGS reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel the remainder of the auction. PAYMENT: All payments shall be completed using the CurrencyPay "View/Pay Invoice" link within each Settlement email. Once a bidder wins an item or items, they will receive an Invoice asking them to pay the full amount by following the link provided "View/Pay Invoice". No Personal Checks, Money Orders, or Cashiers' Checks are allowed, as these types of payments have to be mailed, received, then cleared by the banks before the release of funds occurs, causing large delays to all parties involved. ACH or Wire Transfers will be required for any invoice for all new SGS Auction bidders, or a bidder with a low Bidder Score. Any and all charge-backs or credit card disputes will be logged into the auctioneer's system and reported throughout the country for all other auctioneers to view. In summary; if you don't plan to pay for your purchased item, DON'T BID! Recording a non-pay will greatly damage your Bidder Score. In short, if the customer does their part and pays promptly, their funds should clear within 24-hours. Once the funds clear the bank, SGS will ship. Sales Tax: Lots delivered to you, or your representative are subject to all applicable sales/use taxes, if any, unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate resale tax certificate and/or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other legitimate reason. The appropriate form or resale certificate must be on file at and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction, or tax must be paid; only if such form or resale certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made. SHIPPING & HANDLING Due to the current Customs & Tariff issues associated with precious metals, SGS cannot ship to Canada unless they have an alternate U.S. address SGS can use. All U.S. shipping & handling is performed in-house by SGS. No local pick-up options are available at this time. Shipping / Handling & Insurance Fees are generally shown within the initial invoice received. Once payment has been received within the accounting system, those funds are not released for up to 24 hours. Once payments are cleared, the shipment generally occurs within one business day. IMPORTANT NOTE; To prevent any degree of loss, by either party, all items are shipped fully insured, often with a delivery confirmation or signature required. SGS will always strive to keep this cost to a minimum. Terms Buyer's Premium is set at 12.0% Buyers must pre-qualify to bid using a valid credit card. This card will not be charged automatically unless payments are late or the customer instructs SGS to do so, via email (in writing). Any sale or item sold may require an ACH or Wire Transfer, depending on the circumstances involved. Any disruption in the payment confirmation or close-out process will delay shipment. Returns: Before bidding, understand that all items are sold "as-is", without any form of expressed or implied warranty. SGS cannot guarantee the level of grading provided by any 3rd party such as NGC, PCGS, ANACS, IGC, etc., or the stated purity/weight/otherwise of any metal/stone/etc..
