These terms apply to all orders, all sales and all purchases, whether made through the website, by telephone or otherwise.

This agreement contains 13 sections. Some capitalized terms have specific definitions in section 13 (Definitions).

This User Agreement governs your Sale and Purchase transactions, including placement of Sales Orders from MintBuilder and Purchase Orders to MintBuilder, as applicable, and are incorporated by reference into and made part of the MintBuilder Website.

1. Buying from Us

A. Minimum & Maximum Sales Orders

There are no minimum Sales Orders

There is no maximum Sales Order, however, MintBuilder reserves the right to request a ten percent (10%) deposit on Sales Orders deemed “significant” by MintBuilder in its sole discretion, before we will accept and confirm the Sales Order and lock in prices. On Sales Orders greater than $250,000.00 (USD), we recommend that you contact our Sales Department at (941) 298-4994 to determine if a deposit will apply.

B. Sales Order Price Confirmations

When buying online from us, the price at which your Sales Order is submitted is the locked-in price. The only charges MintBuilder adds are for shipping, handling and insurance. Your confirmation number will be in your return email. The Sales Order price is locked-in for 5 Business Days on all Sales Orders. That is the time you have to make your payment to MintBuilder. You must ensure that your payment is dated within 24 hours of the time of your confirmed Sale and received by MintBuilder within 5 Business Days of your confirmed Sale to realize your locked-in price.

C. Cancellations of Sales Orders with MintBuilder

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 MintBuilder. 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 the greater of $50 or 5% of the order total fee. Sales Order cancellations will be confirmed, and you will be given a cancellation number. At that time, if any Market Loss to MintBuilder has occurred, it will be calculated and added to the greater of $50 or 5% of the order total fee. If applicable, you agree you have full responsibility and liability to MintBuilder for any cancellation fee and/or Market Loss and you agree to remit immediately (upon notice) to MintBuilder 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 MintBuilder. Upon written confirmation by MintBuilder of your payment of the greater of $50 or 5% of the order total 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 MintBuilder.

D. 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.

E. Sales Order Payment Requirements

When you buy from us, you must ensure that your payment is received by MintBuilder within 5 Business Days from the date your Sales Order is placed to realize your locked-in price. If you default and payment is not timely received by MintBuilder, MintBuilder 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 MintBuilder.

It is always best to send us your payment immediately to complete your transaction with MintBuilder 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 MintBuilder 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 MintBuilder for any cancellation fee and/or Market Loss. Any Market Gain on cancellations shall vest in and remain the property of MintBuilder.

2. Sending Your Payment

Payment instructions will be issued online on the final page of the online Sales Order process and again by email after you place your Sales Order. Payment must be dated within 24 hours of your Sales Order date. If you default and you do not meet these requirements, MintBuilder reserves the right to cancel Sales Orders. MintBuilder does not accept C.O.D. Sales Orders. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any Sales Order at any time, including if it is deemed questionable or of significant risk to MintBuilder regardless of payment method and price confirmation and in such case, you waive any right to any claim or actual damages of any kind or nature whatsoever.

$3.97 (USD) ranging to $131.88 (USD)

B. Insurance for Sales Orders

MintBuilder insures all of its Sales Order shipments to you while in transit for the sale value of the enclosed Product purchased from MintBuilder, subject to the following limitations. We must be notified of a lost package within thirty (30) days from the ship date of your order. Should anything happen while your package is in transit to you, you might be permitted to claim coverage under our insurance policy provided that you directly receive the package from the common carrier. Neither we, nor our insurance company, accepts (and we specifically disclaim) responsibility if you have left instructions with any carrier or delivery service to leave parcels for you without the need for your signature. Nor do we, nor our insurance company, accept (and we specifically disclaim) responsibility if you have given any carrier or delivery service instructions to leave your package with someone else, such as a building manager, neighbor, or a drop-off location such as Mail Boxes Etc., The UPS Store, or similar third party drop off locations. In any such case, your package will not be covered for insurance by MintBuilder or our insurance carrier. If you do not receive the package directly from the common carrier, you agree to take all reasonable actions to assist in recovery of the package, including but not limited to filing out reports (and/or police reports) and providing all information needed or that may be requested to assist in recovery of the package. If you do not fully cooperate in recovery efforts, neither MintBuilder, nor our insurance company or carrier, will have any liability to you.

When we ship to you, if Products are lost or damaged in transit, it is our responsibility to pursue any claim with the insurance company. If we determine the package is lost or damaged, we file a claim. Once the claim is filed, we reserve the right to re-ship your items or refund your money at our discretion, and MintBuilder shall have no further responsibility or liability to you. If there is any disruption in the delivery of a package to you, you agree to cooperate with us in any investigation or claim process and to take every reasonable action requested of you in the process. Failure to fully cooperate will jeopardize coverage that may be provided to you.

C. Back Ordered Items

Supply and demand problems occasionally occur in our business. From time to time, we have more buyers than sellers. If this should happen, we reserve the right to delay delivery of your Sales Order(s) up to 28 calendar days (from your expected shipping date) to fill your Sales Order. Provided that you have not defaulted in any term of your completed transaction, even if the price were to rise, your price is locked-in. We will deliver Bullion (non-Numismatic) Product within 28 calendar days. If your Sales Order included a Numismatic or supply item from MintBuilder and we are sold out, we will either place it on back order, attempt to locate another or refund your original sales price, in our sole discretion. If a refund is provided or there is any delay in sending your Products, you waive any right to any claim or actual damages of any kind or nature whatsoever.

4. International Orders

A. Duties and Taxes

All duties and taxes must be paid by the customer on Sales Order(s) delivery. You may be subject to taxes and/or duties for your Sales Order from MintBuilder. Please consult your local customs broker for more information on duty and tax rates.

MintBuilder always declares the full value of the shipment on any customs form. There are no exceptions to this rule.

B. International Delivery Requirements

If your Sales Order is returned to MintBuilder due to your refusal to pay duties or taxes, or if the carrier (for example, Federal Express, USPS or UPS) was unable to deliver your Sales Order, you agree you are responsible for any return shipping fees, additional duties, or applicable taxes for returning the package back to MintBuilder. In addition, if your package is returned to MintBuilder, we will not reship your Sales Order unless and until we are paid in full for any return shipping costs, duties, taxes we have had to pay or advance for you as well as any subsequent re-ship fees back to you.

International returns on Sales Orders are very costly and we strongly suggest making yourself aware of any duties or taxes before packages are shipped to avoid surprises. In addition, we strongly suggest making yourself available to the delivery company so your package is not returned to MintBuilder, subjecting you to unnecessary taxes, duties, shipping costs or delays. Delays for Sales Order re-ships could take 4-6 weeks or longer to complete when packages are not received as they should be. If you have any questions about your international shipment, please send an inquiry to [email protected].

C. Canada

Currently, all of our shipments to Canada must be shipped to a physical address and a delivery zone surcharge may apply. We do not typically accept Sales Orders by or to international customers using freight forwarding services, such as Vpost addresses.

5. Return Policy

We want our customers to be satisfied with their sales at MintBuilder. At your request, we may, but are not obligated to, provide you with an opportunity to exchange a Product for an identical Product in the event of a material defect. If we agree to do so, such exchange must be made within seven (7) days from the date on which the customer receives his or her Product(s) and only to those customers who timely and properly notify our Customer Service Department by telephone at (941) 298-4994, and who receive written confirmation that the exchange request has been approved. If approved, the Customer Service Department will give you instructions on how to exchange your items.

Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable. For approved exchanges, you must follow all instructions provided by Customer Service, including carefully packaging the Product. You are responsible for the cost of return shipping and the risk of loss during the return shipment as part of the exchange. MintBuilder reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reject any exchange that does not comply with these requirements. If an exchange is requested, we reserve the right to accept or refuse the exchange request in our sole discretion, and to require you to pay for any Market Loss on approved exchanges. Any Market Gain on refunds shall vest in and remain the property of MintBuilder.

6. Risks

All investments involve risk; Coins and Bullion are no exception. The value of a Bullion Coin (e.g., American Eagles or Canadian Maple Leafs) 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.

MintBuilder 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.

7. Selling to Us

A. Physical Delivery for Purchase Orders

You may deliver your Precious Metals to one of our pre-approved depositories or drop off locations by pre-arranged appointment only. To make a delivery appointment, please call us at (941) 298-4994.

B. 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 MintBuilder. After confirmation, your Purchase transaction to MintBuilder may be cancelled by MintBuilder 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 MintBuilder, 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 the 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 MintBuilder takes actual physical custody and control of each and all of the Product(s) that are the subject of the Purchase Order.

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 MintBuilder.

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).
