Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions
We are interested in buying precious metal bullion from you, and selling precious metal bullion to you. When you are ready to sell or liquidate a portion of your portfolio, sell to us. When you are ready to purchase precious metals to add to your portfolio, buy from us. Learn more here.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: These Terms and Conditions govern the purchase of bullion by Silver Gold Bull, Inc. (“Silver Gold Bull”, “We”, “Us”, or “Our”) from the Seller (“Seller”, “You”, or “Your”, whether an individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity), and the sale of bullion by Silver Gold Bull to the Purchaser (“Purchaser”, “You”, or “Your”, as the context requires). By offering to sell or selling bullion to Silver Gold Bull, or offering to purchase or purchasing bullion from Silver Gold Bull, including via our website or telephone number noted on our website, you represent and warrant that you have the right and legal capacity to enter into these Terms and Conditions, have read, understood and agree to these Terms and Conditions, and that these Terms and Conditions constitute an agreement made by and between Silver Gold Bull and you, personally, and/or if applicable, on behalf of the entity for whom you are selling or purchasing bullion, as the case may be. If you do not agree with these Terms and Conditions you are expressly prohibited from selling bullion to Silver Gold Bull, or purchasing bullion from Silver Gold Bull, and must discontinue your use of our website immediately.
Bullion Market Price and Availability Change Constantly / Silver Gold Bull Sets Bullion Prices
The bullion items we offer to buy, and the bullion products we offer for sale, are commodities traded on various markets, and the market price of such types of bullion therefore change constantly in accordance with market forces and supply and demand. Although we indicate sell and sales prices on our website, market movements may occur more rapidly than updates allow. You acknowledge and agree that Silver Gold Bull alone shall set the bullion purchase price for all bullion that we offer to purchase, and the sale and buyback prices for all bullion offered for sale by us. Because precious metals prices change constantly, all offers to sell or liquidate bullion must by placed by telephone, or if you hold an Enhanced Account (as defined in these Terms and Conditions) with Silver Gold Bull, via our website in accordance with the “Enhanced Customer Account” terms described in these Terms and Conditions, so that prices can be locked in at the prevailing market.
Bullion Trading Activity
From time to time, trading activity in the bullion market may be very high, which may interfere with your ability to contact us by telephone to conduct bullion trading. Regardless of trading activity volume, we shall continue to conduct bullion trading only by telephone, or through our website if you hold an Enhanced Account with Silver Gold Bull. Silver Gold Bull does not accept or conduct any bullion transactions through any other means other than by telephone or through our website, as may be applicable.
Placement of Transaction Creates a Binding Agreement
Silver Gold Bull is a leading bullion dealer in the bullion market, with the critical need to maintain our reputation and competitive position in order to ensure that we maintain a high volume of trading opportunities. For this reason, you acknowledge and agree that we are entitled to rely on the verbal promise from you, or your offer, to sell and complete the delivery of your bullion to us, or to purchase bullion from us and pay for your order, as the case may be. In furtherance of this, you agree that your offer to sell bullion to us or purchase bullion from us, and/or placement of a bullion sale or purchase transaction with us, creates a binding, legally enforceable agreement in which you agree to sell your bullion to us or purchase bullion from us, as the case may be. You shall not thereafter cancel any bullion transaction before, in the case of the sale of bullion to us, making delivery, or in the case of the purchase of bullion from us, making payment, in full. In the case that you have purchased bullion from us, once you have paid for the purchased bullion in full, we may buyback the bullion product(s) upon request, in accordance with the “Buyback Terms” contained herein.
Email Confirmation and Purchase Order / Seller to Allow Emails from Silver Gold Bull
After we have confirmed your transaction, we will email you a copy of your purchase order specifying the details of your sale and our purchase, or your purchase and our sale, as may be applicable. Failure by you to receive this email does NOT invalidate or otherwise cancel your transaction with us; you are still obligated to ship your precious metals to us, or pay for precious metals purchased from us, in full and on time.
You shall take all steps necessary, including updating address books and adjusting spam or junk-mail filters, to ensure that you can timely receive all emails from us, complete with any attachments, in furtherance of your transaction(s) with us and these Terms and Conditions.
Shipment of Bullion
In the event that you sell bullion to us: You shall promptly ship all bullion you have agreed to sell to us within two business days of entry into the relevant transaction (or, five business days for in-person transactions). Packages must be received by Silver Gold Bull no later than ten business days following the relevant transaction date. You are responsible for all costs associated with shipping your metals to us, which costs may be deducted from the proceeds of your sale if you use our shipping label. We are not responsible for any lost, misrouted, or damaged packages.
In the event that you purchase bullion from us: Within five business days from when we receive payment in full for your bullion order (unless the clearing time applicable to your method of payment exceeds five business days, or your order is subject to exceptions), we will pack your bullion, subject to bullion product availability. It is critical that the address provided for your shipment is accurate and that you are available to receive the shipment when it is on route to you. From time to time, the shipment time of your order may be delayed for reason(s) including but not limited to reductions in our inventory as a result of increased demand for certain bullion products and/or the reduced supply available to us of same. We will endeavour to update our website with any delays applicable to particular bullion products as may arise from time to time, and include this information in your order confirmation email/purchase order.
If we are unable to comply with the shipment time noted above, we will endeavour to notify you of same as soon as reasonably possible. Upon receipt of such notice, you may elect to: (a) accept the new shipment time provided by us, which new time shall not exceed an additional thirty days; or (b) request that we buyback your order pursuant to the ‘Buyback Terms’. If we are unable to ship your order within the new shipment time estimated, then after this new shipment time has passed, we will buyback your bullion order pursuant to the ‘Buyback Terms’, and remit payment to you for the value of: (a) the voluntary liquidation; or (b) your payment for your order, including any shipping fees paid by you, whichever is greater.
If your order is shipped or arrives late, at our sole discretion, we may issue you a coupon for the cost of shipping. Any coupon so issued shall be in a form and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by us in our sole discretion.
We reserve the right to substitute a different shipping method other than that which you selected on your order. Where the actual shipping method costs less than the method of shipping you had selected on you order, we will issue you a coupon for use with us, subject to such terms and conditions as determined by us in our sole discretion. We will insure the full value of your shipment to the address provided when your order was placed, or to an address accepted by PayPal, as may be applicable.
Should you choose to re-direct your order to be shipped to any other location or be accepted by any other person (drop at neighbour, front desk, mailroom, building manager, etc.), and/or to waive the requirement for a signature, you agree to incur all risk and liability associated with such order. Additionally, should your shipment be disrupted or delayed in any way for more than 48 hours from the anticipated delivery date, notify us immediately. We assume the responsibility to pursue any claim with the insurance company provided; you agree to take all reasonable actions to assist in the shipment's recovery through the internal, insurance company, police, and courier investigations. Assistance could include but is not limited to filling out reports (including potential police reports) and providing all required information that could aid in the recovery of your shipment. Failure to cooperate in recovery efforts will void any insurance coverage.
Shipments deemed lost or damaged will have an insurance claim filed for them. Upon filing a claim, we reserve the right to re-ship your items purchased or refund your money at our discretion.
Purchase Order Cancellation Policy
When you confirm the sale of bullion to us, or the purchase of bullion from us, you enter into a binding contractual agreement with us to ship all of the agreed precious metals to us, or purchase all of the agreed precious metals from us, as may be applicable, and CANNOT CANCEL THE TRANSACTION. Should you wish to liquidate your trade, or in the event that you sell bullion, if you do not ship the metals within two business days (as noted in ‘Shipment of Bullion’, above), we will cancel and liquidate your transaction based on the prevailing market purchase price at the time of liquidation. You will be liable for, and charged for, any difference in the event of a market price increase. (See 'Involuntary Liquidation of Your Order' for more details.)
Return Policy
We strive for 100% customer satisfaction, which is why we provide you the opportunity to return any product purchased from us for store credit, refund, or exchange, less any market loss that may have occurred due to price changes.
If you are not happy with your order, contact our support team (support@silvergoldbull.com) within two (2) business days of delivery. We will provide you with a return shipping quote and advise you of any applicable market loss due to price changes that will be subtracted from your proceeds. After your authorization, we will issue your return label, and once the product is returned to us, we will proceed with issuing store credit, refund, or exchange as agreed.
All items must be in original packaging and original condition. We reserve the right to refuse any returned product that does not reasonably meet these conditions. Any payment charges on the original order are not refundable. You are responsible for payment of return shipping & insurance costs, as well as any market loss. You accept liability for loss or damages on your returned items if you choose to ship your package through an alternate method and/or uninsured. Unapproved returns may be refused and returned to the sender. Refunds to a credit card or through PayPal will be charged a 4% restocking fee.

Payment will be issued to you by mail within two business days of our receipt of the bullion you have agreed to sell to us, received through the mail or a third-party carrier. If you deliver your bullion in-person, you must deliver it to us within five business days of the transaction, and payment will be made to you upon delivery. Standard payment is made by cheque, mailed to the address you provided to us at the time of entry into a transaction with us. For an additional $35 fee, you can request our cheque be sent to you via overnight courier. A physical address is required for delivery.
In the event that you purchase bullion from us: You shall submit payment in full for the bullion within three business days, and we shall receive full payment within eight business days, of placing the relevant order by using one or more of our accepted methods of payment. Such payment must include the full amount owing to us, including but not limited to, payment for the bullion product(s), shipping and handling charges, and any transaction and/or other fees, as may be applicable. Should any delays or payment issues be encountered, you are required to contact Silver Gold Bull customer support immediately to inform them of said issues in order to guarantee pricing. Failure to notify us of payment delays could result in liquidation of your order as contemplated in ‘Involuntary Liquidation of Your Order’. All payments must be made either in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, Australian Dollars or Euros, as indicated on the relevant purchase order. Upon our receipt of your payment, in full, we will hold your payment and your bullion product(s) ordered for the clearing time applicable to the method of payment(s) used by you. Once your payment has been verified and upon expiration of the relevant clearing time, the bullion product(s) will be released for shipment to you. Should any payment be found to be NSF, or should we learn of a returned payment, initiated by you, we will automatically add a $25 charge to your account/amount due and payable as an administration and processing fee and you will be liable for payment of same.
We reserve the right, but undertake no obligation, to actively report and prosecute actual and suspected fraud. To that end, we may, in our discretion, require further authorization from you such as a telephone confirmation of transactions, and other information. We reserve the right to cancel, delay, refuse to ship, or recall from the shipper any transaction or shipment if fraud is suspected. We capture certain information during the transaction process, including, without limitation, information that will be used to locate and identify individuals committing fraud. If any transaction is suspected to be fraudulent, we reserve the right, but undertake no obligation, to: (a) submit all records, with or without a subpoena, to all law enforcement agencies and to any relevant credit card company for fraud investigation, and/or (b) cooperate with relevant authorities to prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law.
Right to Inspect and Reject
In the event that you sell bullion to us, we inspect each package shipped by you as it arrives, and reserve the right to reject, or to modify or liquidate the relevant transaction with respect to, any late or defective package, any package that you may send that contains items not as represented by you or that are damaged or worn in excess of industry standards, or any package that does not otherwise comply with these Terms and Conditions. Packages shipped by you must be postmarked within two business days, and arrive to us no later than ten business days, following the date of the transaction you may enter into with us.
All damaged packages shipped by you will be refused for delivery and returned to you. If your package is returned to you, you will need to immediately contact us to arrange a reshipment of the bullion, or liquidation of the transaction. Failure to contact us to make arrangements will result in your transaction being involuntarily liquidated on the eleventh business day following the date of the relevant transaction.
We will contact you immediately if any discrepancy is discovered upon inspection of any package shipped by you, and every effort will be made to resolve the matter in a timely fashion. We reserve the right to have any non-standard precious metals products shipped by you assayed for pureness. You are responsible for the associated fees for such testing. Fees associated with any transaction may be deducted from the total agreed-upon payment due to you under the applicable purchase order.
Packaging of Bullion for Shipment by You
In the event that you sell bullion to us, except for in-store deliveries to us, you shall package all metal being shipped to us consistent with our Packaging Guidelines (which are a component of the shipping instructions and shipping label information provided to you to aid in shipment of bullion to us). Additionally, you shall fully insure your package for delivery, and provide us a detailed packaging slip which shall include, at a minimum, an itemized description of the contents of the package, your name, full mailing address, and your telephone number.
International Shipments
In the event that you sell bullion to us, note that shipments made to Canada require the preparation of proper forms to enable the package to clear customs with the Canada Border Services Agency. As the shipper, you are responsible to properly complete all necessary forms provided by us to aid in shipment, and provide any additional documentation that may be requested.
In the event that you purchase bullion from us, you acknowledge that the customs office of the destination country may require information or documents from international customers, and may apply customs fees, import duties, taxes as well as other charges in accordance with that country's applicable tax law. Some countries may require a customs broker for import, which would be the importer's (your) responsibility to hire. You further acknowledge that any such surcharges will be your own responsibility and not ours. You are encouraged to contact your local tax authority for more information regarding any and all surcharges that you may be forced to incur upon taking delivery of bullion.
Buyback Terms
In the event that you purchase bullion from us, at any time after you have fully paid for your bullion product order, or even before we have shipped it to you, you can choose to sell your bullion order back to us at the market rate for such buybacks applicable at that time. Please contact us to discuss the buyback of your paid bullion order. The Terms and Conditions are applicable to our purchase of your bullion products, and these may be amended from time to time at our discretion. Find more information for the Canadian service here and the United States service here.
Involuntary Liquidation of Your Order
In the event that you sell bullion to us: As contemplated earlier in these Terms and Conditions, if you fail to deliver the bullion you have agreed to sell to us in full and on time, we shall involuntarily cancel and liquidate your bullion sale as of the 11th business day after your transaction date. A completed purchase has occurred upon receipt of bullion by us (with respect to bullion purchase by us), or upon receipt of funds from you in our bank account (with respect to bullion sale by us).
In such event, we will charge your credit card for the value of the sale, such amount to depend on any market losses assessed between the transaction date and the time of non-payment or liquidation. Market loss or gain is calculated as the difference between the original purchase price, and the bullion London Fix closing price on the 11th business day after your transaction date.
If the bullion market has gone up since you placed your order, you will be charged the following:
A $50.00 cancellation fee; plus the market difference on your order computed at the closing price for your bullion on the London Metals Market Fixing for the 11th business day after you placed your order.
If the bullion market has gone down since you placed your order, you will be charged the following:
A $50.00 cancellation fee; and you will not benefit from any difference in the market price.
In the event that you purchase bullion from us: Should you fail to pay for your bullion order as required pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, we reserve the right to liquidate your order for market value at the time of such liquidation, in our sole discretion. We are under no obligation to take any steps or to refrain from taking any steps, in order to or in an attempt to maximize market value for your order and we take no responsibility for same. You remain responsible for the full value of your order as agreed to at the time such order was placed by you and confirmed via purchase order. This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, your responsibility to pay us the difference in value in the event that the market value of your unpaid order is less than what you agreed to pay at the time of placing your order. The credit card information provided by you will be used by us to charge you for any amounts owing to us pursuant to the terms applicable to ‘Involuntary Liquidation of Your Order’. If the market value of your unpaid order is greater than you had promised to pay for such order, any such gains remain the property of Silver Gold Bull.
Where you have placed more than one order with us, and have paid for one or more of the order(s) but have failed to pay for one or more of such other order(s) in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, any shipment of any paid order(s) may be held at our discretion until payment in full for all orders placed by you is received in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. At our sole discretion, we may elect to apply the money received by us for your paid order(s) and/or the bullion product(s) comprising your paid order(s) against any payment(s) due and owing to us on account of your unpaid order(s). If, after exercise of any such election(s) by us, you still owe us any amount, we may, under our sole discretion, involuntarily liquidate any remaining bullion product(s) in the quantity required by us, acting reasonably, in order to ensure that we are paid in full for all your orders and the applicable market loss.
The determination of any loss or gain of value on all or part of your order for the purposes of this section is calculated as the difference between the price you agreed to pay for such bullion product(s) at the time your order was agreed to by us, and the market value of same obtained by us as at the time of liquidation.
Should you wish to reinstate your order(s) once involuntary liquidation has occurred, contact Silver Gold Bull customer support. Your order(s) will be reinstated at original pricing, or current pricing, whichever is higher at the time of reinstatement. Reinstatement of your order(s) will waive applicable outstanding market loss. However, you will be required to provide valid credit card details for this service if not already provided.

In furtherance of this, you agree to immediately return and refund any monies we may have paid; or (b) in the event that you have purchased bullion from us, refund to you all monies you may have paid us for such order, less any costs or fees associated with cancelling your order, as may be applicable.

Unless otherwise expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions, the first day for computing a time period shall be the first business day following placement of the respective transaction. If the last day of the time period shall fall on a weekend or federal holiday, or on any day the London Metals Market Fixing is closed, then the last day shall be moved forward in time to the first day that is not a weekend, federal holiday or any day the London Metals Market Fixing is closed.
Spot Alert Pricing Service
Our spot prices are updated every 60 seconds, throughout the day, to reflect live global markets. As such, if you have opted to receiving pricing alerts, your alert could trigger at any time day or night. This alert does not constitute a locked spot price for buying or selling, nor any type of recommendation for action of any kind. This service is provided for purely informational purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of information through this service and it is not a substitute for your own monitoring of the market. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for all monitoring and for all investment and other decisions based thereon, and that we have no liability for any market gain or loss, or any other liability, that you may incur as a result of or in connection with the pricing alert service.
It is expressly understood that, like all services, the pricing alert service is subject to delays and to failures that are beyond our control. We make no assurance that this service will be in continuous operation, nor suffer some malfunction. Your carrier plan's SMS or phone message rates may apply in the event that you receive such alerts.
Best Price Guarantee
We will match any reputable competitor's advertised all-in price on any product we sell. All-in pricing means the price after the respective competitor’s shipping and insurance charges have been added to their listed price. Should the competitor's price still be lower, we will match it to the penny. This guarantee is only available only on orders to purchase bullion from us placed via telephone.
We reserve the right to suspend this guarantee during times of extreme market volatility and/or supply disruption, in order to ensure sustainability during times of otherwise high market risk. A resumption of this guarantee will follow at such time as markets have resumed normal trading activity.
Coupons and Discounts
We will, for promotional and customer reward purposes, periodically have coupon codes available for your use on orders that you may place with us. Unless otherwise stated, any such coupon will be valid until the stated expiration date or quantity threshold has been met. We reserve the right to activate and deactivate new and existing coupon codes, from time to time, as we see fit in our sole discretion. Should you have any concern regarding a specific coupon, you are encouraged to call our toll free number and speak to a member of our customer support team.
