g. “Seller Terms” means the Seller Terms & Conditions entered into by and between a Seller and S&SC for purposes of governing over a Seller’s access to, and use of, S&SC’s Services as a Seller.

h. “Services” means the online Auction and/or “Buy it Now” listing services provided by S&SC to Sellers, Bidders and prospective Sellers and Bidders through the Sites which serve as a conduit for listing Products and means for offers and acceptance to be exchanged in relation to the Auction/sale of Product(s).
3. S&SC SERVICES. You acknowledge and agree that S&SC provides online Auction and “Buy it Now” Services for Sellers and Bidders through its Sites which serve as conduits for offers and acceptance to be exchanged in relation to the Auction or “Buy it Now” sale of Products posted on one or more S&SC Sites (the Services).

descriptions and for all contractual and other warranties made, if any, with respect to the Products sold. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that S&SC is not and shall not be held responsible or liable to you for any of the Product description/information posted on the S&SC Site’s Auction or “Buy it Now” listing(s).
While written descriptions are utilized in Product listings, the ultimate determination of the qualities of a UNIQUE Auction or “Buy it Now” Product are determined by examination of the posted Product photographs. Regarding non-unique items such as NEW firearms, the ultimate determination of the qualities of said item should be the product description. Stock photos may, in rare cases, have minor discrepancies between the firearm represented in the image and the firearm described in the description and in those cases, the product description should be the deciding factor.
5. SELLERS AND SELLER SERVICES. The Seller's Terms & Conditions entered into by and between S&SC and Product Sellers govern a Seller’s access to, and use of, S&SC’s Services as a Seller, whether it be via S&SC Auction or “Buy it Now” listing. The Seller's Terms & Conditions are incorporated by reference as if the same were fully set forth herein and can accessed here: https://goldstandardauctions.hibid.com /home/selleruserterms. Sellers must be pre - approved by S&SC prior to participating in any Auction or “Buy it Now” listing and must maintain a current Seller account with S&SC. A Seller must disclose certain account registration information to S&SC prior utilizing S&SC’s Sites and Services. Said Seller information includes, but is not limited to, any information a Seller provides to S&SC during the registration process, in any public message area or through any email feature.

Because Sellers utilizing S&SC’s Services and Sites may enter into binding legal agreements to sell Products being auctioned, S&SC's Services are not available to minors.
6. BIDDERS AND BIDDER SERVICES. The Bidders Terms & Conditions entered into by and between S&SC and Bidders govern a Bidder’s access to, and use of, S&SC’s Services as a Bidder/Buyer, whether it be via S&SC Auction or “Buy it Now” listing. The Bidders Terms & Conditions are incorporated by reference as if the same were fully set forth herein and can accessed here: https://goldstandardauctions.hibid.com/home/bidderuserterms. Bidders must be pre -approved by S&SC prior to participating in any Auction or “Buy it Now” listing and must maintain a current Bidder account with S&SC. A Bidder must disclose certain account registration information to S&SC prior utilizing S&SC’s Sites and Services. Said Bidder information includes, but is not limited to, any information a Bidder provides to S&SC during the registration process, in any public message area or through any email feature.

Because Bidders utilizing S&SC’s Services and Sites may enter into legally binding agreements to purchase Products being auctioned, S&SC's Services are not available to minors. Sellers may have different standards for approving individual auction participants, and you may be required to apply for and obtain written approval to participate in a specific auction. In such circumstances, approved Bidders will receive a Bidder Number. Approval to participate in one auction does not guarantee approval to participate in any other auction. S&SC and each Seller reserves the right to refuse to approve any individual or entity applying to participate in any auction or “Buy it Now” listing as a Bidder.
7. AUCTION BIDS AND “BUY IT NOW” SALES. By placing a successful bid or selecting the “Buy it Now” option on a Product listing, you are entering into a binding agreement between yourself and the Seller. Bids for a particular Product are subject to a minimum bid increment as posted. If you bid an amount below the minimum increment your bid will not be accepted. If you bid an amount between increments, S&SC will automatically round your bid up to the nearest increment. Once accepted, bids may not be retracted or canceled and, upon acceptance by the Seller, constitute a binding agreement between the Buyer and Seller. Bids for a Product do not apply to subsequent offerings of identical or similar Products. A bid that was unsuccessful may be reinstated if a problem arises with a higher bid. Bidders placing a winning bid through Bidder Services will be notified by email. Reserve bid amounts are displayed at the discretion of the Seller. If you are the winning Bidder and do not pay your invoice or make plans to pay for your invoice within seven (7) days of the sale date, you will be charged a restocking fee of fifteen percent (15%) of your invoice total. Additionally, you will be banned from all future S&SC Auctions and “Buy it Now” listings as a Bidder or Seller. S&SC is not liable for any errors made while operating the technology used to host or bid on online auctions.
8. “AS IS '' / WHERE IS SALE. ALL PRODUCTS ARE SOLD “AS IS'', WHERE IS. Descriptions are given to Products, but Bidders expressly agree that they are not relying on such description, but instead will base all decisions to bid based exclusively on Bidder’s examination of the listing’s Product photographs.
9. PAYMENT. The following provisions govern procedures for the purchase of Products and related payment term s. Please note that all invoices issued over a two (2) day, or four (4) day sale will be combined.
a. PAYMENT DEADLINE. Payment for Products shall be immediately due and payable upon the conclusion of said Products’ Auction or “Buy it Now” listing and presentment of an invoice. S&SC reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within seven (7) days after Auction close. In cases of nonpayment, S&SC’s election to void a sale does not relieve the successful Bidder from their obligation to pay S&SC its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premium) on the Product listing and any other damages pertaining to Bidder’s failure to tender payment. Alternatively, S&SC at its sole option, may charge Bidder a twenty percent (20%) fee based on the Product’s purchase price. In either case, S&SC may offset the amount of its claim against any monies owing to the Bidder or secure its claim against any of the Bidder’s property held by S&SC.
b. PAYMENT METHODS. S&SC and Sellers utilizing S&SC’s auction and/or “Buy it Now” Services agree to accept the following exclusive forms of payment for Products and related costs/fees:
i. Cash: United States Currency
ii. Credit/Debit Cards: Credit/debit cards are only accepted for the payment of a given invoice (for Product’s purchase price, buyer’s premium, and shipping & handling) totaling a maximum of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00). Credit/debit cards are not accepted for orders/invoices over two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00). Cards on file with S&SC will automatically be charged for orders under two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00).
Subject to the aforementioned caveats, payments via credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and Discover) will incur a surcharge of two and one half percent (2.5%). Said fee is subject to change without prior notice. This fee only applies to credit transactions and does not exceed S&SC’s cost of processing. Payments via cash, wire transfer, Cashier’s Check, and Zelle will not incur this surcharge but may be subject to Bidder fees assessed by the utilized service provider.
iii. Wire Transfer: For wiring instructions, call (469-634-8839) or email (at safesoundhelp@gmail.com) S&SC.
iv. Cashier’s Checks: Cashier’s Check made payable to “Safe and Sound Consultants, LLC” and delivered to 13851 West 63rd Street, Shawnee, KS 66216 within seven (7) days of the auction or “Buy it Now” sale concluding.
vi. Zelle : For current Zelle payment instructions, call (469-634-8839) or email (at safesoundhelp@gmail.com) S&SC.
c. BUYER’S PREMIUM. All bids are subject to a Buyer’s Premium which is in addition to the successfully placed bid. For currency, coins, tokens, notes and precious metals, the Buyer’s Premium shall be fifteen percent (15%) subject to a minimum sum of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per lot. S&SC’s Buyer’s Premium is subject to change and may increase from time to time without further notice at S&SC’s sole discretion.
d. UNPAID BALANCE AND DISHONORED PAYMENTS. If any Auction or “Buy it Now” invoice submitted by S&SC to Bidder is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not paid when due will be a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount. If S&SC refers any invoice to an attorney or third-party for collection, Bidder agrees to pay S&SC’s reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by S&SC.
In the event the Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Bidder authorizes S&SC to charge the Bidder’s credit card on file with S&SC in the amount required to pay the invoice in full (plus the applicable surcharge) or sell the Product(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the Product(s) appeared, or at subsequent private or public sale, or relist the Product(s) in a future Auction or “Buy it Now” listing by S&SC. A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs for resale (including, but not limited to, a 15% seller’s commission, if consigned to an Auction conducted by S&SC). The defaulting Bidder is liable to pay any difference between the total original invoice for the Product(s) if sold at a private sale or the subsequent ham m er price of the Product(s) less the 15% seller’s commissions, if sold a t S&SC’s Auction.
Product title shall not pass to Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. S&SC shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by Bidder to secure payment of any and all outstanding invoices. S&SC is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of Bidder then held by S&SC to secure payment of any invoice or any other amounts due to S&SC from Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, S&SC shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of the Kansas Uniform Commercial Code, including, but not limited to, the right of sale (including a 15% seller’s commission, if consigned to an Auction conducted by S&SC). If the Bidder receives any Product, Bidder agrees to hold such item in trust until S&SC is paid in full. Any S&SC foreclosure auction venue is deemed a reasonably commercial sale. In addition, with respect to payment of invoices, Bidder waives any and all rights to offset he/she/it might otherwise have against S&SC and the consignor of the Product(s) included in the invoice. If Bidder owes S&SC on any account, S&SC shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in its possession.
In the event the Bidder's payment is dishonored upon presentment, Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable Kansas state law.
e. TAXES, DUTIES, AND CUSTOMS. Purchased Products may be subject to taxes, duties, customs and/or fees imposed by various domestic and/or foreign taxing authorities or governments. Bidder is solely responsible for payment of any and all such taxes, duties, custom s and/or fees prior to delivery unless alternative arrangements are made in writing and pre -approved by S&SC.
Notice of compliance with Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) for the purchase of Product(s) made from protected species or wildlife. Any Product(s) made of or incorporating endangered or protected species or wildlife may have import and/or export restrictions established by CITIES in various countries and domestically. Plant and animal properties included, but are not limited to, items made of (or including) Brazilian rosewood, ivory, whalebone, turtle shell, coral, crocodile, alligator, lizard, or other wildlife. These items may not be available to ship internationally or, in some cases, domestically. Domestic bans and restrictions exist in these states: (1) California state law prohibits the importation of any product containing python skin into the State of California, (2) Fossil Ivory is currently banned or restricted in 5 U.S. States: New York, New Jersey, California, Hawaii, and New Mexico. By placing an Auction bid or selecting a “Buy it Now” option, the Bidder acknowledges that he/she/it is aware of any and all restrictions in their country or place of residence and takes responsibility for: (1) obtaining all information on such restricted item s for both export and import; (2) obtaining all such licenses and/or perm its. Delay, failure, or inability to obtain any such license or perm does not relieve the buyer of time payment or afford them the capacity to void their purchase or payment. Lots and Products containing potentially regulated wildlife material are noted in the description as a convenience to S&SC’s Bidders/Sellers. S&SC does not accept liability for errors or failure to mark lots of Products containing protected, endangered, or otherwise regulated species. S&SC is not liable for any loss caused by or resulting from: (1) seizure or destruction under quarantine or Custom s regulation or confiscation by order of any government or public authority, or risks of contraband or illegal transportation of trade; or (2) breaking of statuary, marble, glassware bric-a-brac, porcelains, jewelry, and similar fragile articles.
10. PRODUCT SHIPPING & HANDLING. By submitting a bid or selecting a “Buy it Now” purchase, the Seller and Bidder agree to S&SC's shipping and handling policy and other charges, whether known or unknown to the bidder at the time of bid. S&SC does not personally transport or deliver Products unless in-person pick up at a secure location (not S&SC’s office) is pre-arranged by Bidder with S&SC. Unless otherwise noted, S&SC shall coordinate shipping of Products to successful Bidders through reputable third-party shipping service providers such as the United States Postal Service (USPS), United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (UPS), FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (FedEx), Deutsche Post AG (DHL), or the like. S&SC does not guarantee delivery of purchased Products by a specified date, or at all, due to reliance upon third-party shipping companies. While S&SC implements commercially reasonable efforts to initiate shipping with third-party shippers within seventy-two (72) business hours of full and final payment, Bidder agrees that neither delivery of an item after the date desired or expected by Bidder, or loss of an item by a third-party delivery service, gives rise to grounds for a partial or complete refund or a credit card chargeback. Bidders understand, acknowledge, and agree that once S&SC turns over a purchased Product to a third-party shipper, Bidders’ sole recourse for any alleged lost or delayed Product shall be directly through the third-party shipper and its applicable insurance policy. Shipping & Handling fees shall be included in the successful Bidder’s Product invoice. Shipping & Handling fees are subject to change. All deliveries are subject to S&SC’s receipt and clearance of good funds.
a. FIREARM SHIPPING. Bidders should either have an FFL or find an FFL in their local area to receive and manage the transfer. A Federal Firearms License (FFL) transfer dealer is required for the transfer of firearms ownership between individuals. Firearms can only be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer. It is the duty of the bidder to provided S&SC with a copy of their local FFL licensed dealer’s license. An FFL licensed dealer should be any individual or entity that sells firearms (e. g. Academy, Bass Pro Shops, or local gun/pawn store). FFL file copies should be submitted to safesoundhelp@gmail.com as soon as possible after the conclusion of an auction. Your FFL may submit a copy of their license on your behalf. Accessories such as: holsters, clips, sights, scopes, etc.., are often not required to ship to an FFL. Non-Firearm items such as air guns, knives, ammunition, antique guns built before 1899, and some gun parts also may not require transfer by a licensed dealer but may require proof of age before shipping.
b. STATE/LOCAL LAW COMPLIANCE. Due to variance in gun laws by state, the bidder is responsible for verifying the legality of shipping an item to their location. If the product description, image, or title indicates in any way that the specific lot cannot be legally shipped to your state or city, please do not bid on the item. If you are unable to complete the transaction because an item is not legal in your state or city or you did not read the terms of sale, your bidding privileges may be suspended and/or you will be required to pay the 15% restocking fee mentioned in section 13b. If you have any questions or concerns about whether a specific item can be shipped to your area, please contact your local FFL transfer dealer and/or ATF field office. Examples of prohibited items in specific areas include magazine capacity limits in the state of California.
11. NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES. NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS MADE OR IMPLIED ON ANY PRODUCT/LOT. NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT/LOT EXCEPT FOR WARRANTY OF TITLE, AND IN THE CASE OF TITLE, S&SC IS SELLING ONLY THAT RIGHT OR TITLE TO THE PRODUCT/LOT THAT THE SELLER OR CONSIGNOR MAY HAVE AS OF THE AUCTION OR “BUY IT NOW” SALE DATE. IF A PRODUCT/LOT IS BEING AUCTIONED OR SOLD THROUGH A “BUY IT NOW” SALE ON A CONSIGNMENT BASIS, S&SC DISCLAIMS AND MAKES NO WARRANTY OF TITLE AS SUCH PRODUCTS PURCHASED PASS DIRECTLY FROM THE SELLER/CONSIGNER TO SUCCESSFUL BIDDER. ALL PRODUCTS/LOTS ARE SOLD “AS IS,” WHERE IS, AND WITH ALL FAULTS. NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DESCRIPTION, GRADE, OR PURPORTED VALUE CONTAINED IN ANY AUCTION OR “BUY IT NOW” LISTING. BIDDERS AND SELLERS AGREE THAT S&SC IS NOT PROVIDING ANY WARRANTY, COVENANT OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS SOLD OR AUCTIONED THROUGH THE S&SC SITE. BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING AND RELATED TO THE GRADING, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, CONDITION, AND PROVENANCE OF A PRODUCT/LOT.
COINS AND CURRENCY LISTED IN S&SC’S CATALOG AS GRADED AND ENCAPSULATED BY PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, PCGS CURRENCY, PMG, PCGS BANKNOTE GRADING, CMC OR ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE ARE LIKEWISE SOLD “AS-IS” EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. ALL THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE GUARANTEES, INCLUDING AUTHENTICITY, ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE AND NOT WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF S&SC. BIDDERS SHOULD CONTACT THESE THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICES DIRECTLY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS OR QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE CONCERNING THEIR GUARANTEES AND WARRANTIES. BIDDERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT AUCTIONEER IS NOT BOUND BY OR LIABLE FOR ANY OPINION OR CERTIFICATION BY ANY THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE. REMOVAL OF A PRODUCT FROM ITS PROTECTIVE CASING OR ALTERATION OF ANY COIN HOLDER WAIVES ALL RIGHTS CONCERNING THE PRODUCT CONTAINED THEREIN.
S&SC DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR COVENANT THE ACCURACY OF THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION OR THAT THE IMAGES USED TO ILLUSTRATE PRODUCTS ARE CORRECT OR DO NOT VIOLATE TRADEMARKS OR COPYRIGHTS. S&SC HAS NOT UNDERTAKEN ANY REVIEW OR DUE DILIGENCE WITH RESPECT TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE S&SC SITE AND PROVIDES NO GUARANTEES, COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO SAID INFORMATION OR ITS ACCURACY. YOU AGREE YOU DO NOT RELY ON ANY WRITTEN DESCRIPTIONS BUT WILL ONLY BID BASED ON EXAMINATION OF THE PRODUCT/LOT PHOTOGRAPHS POSTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE AUTION OR “BUY IT NOW” LISTING. You hereby acknowledge that the S&SC Sites, the data entered the Sites, and/or the Seller's auction or “Buy it Now” information may contain errors or inaccuracies.
You understand, acknowledge, and agree that the numismatic and precious metals markets are speculative, unregulated, and volatile, and that coin, currency and precious metal value may rise or fall over time. S&SC DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR REPRESENT THAT ANY BIDDER BUYER PRODUCTS FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES WILL BE ABLE TO SELL SAID PRODUCTS FOR A PROFIT IN THE FUTURE.
You further understand, acknowledge, and agree that neither S&SC, nor its owners, members, employees, affiliates, agents, representatives, third-party providers, or consignors warrant that Auctions or “Buy it Now” listings will be unimpaired, uninterrupted or error free and accordingly shall not be liable for such events.
12. CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACKS PROHIBITED. The “Limited Returns” provision set forth herein below provides the limited availability and procedure for facilitating Product returns in specific situations. Absent the express eligibility and strict adherence to the procedures for facilitating a return, Bidders shall not be
entitled to return Product(s), partial or full refunds, wire recalls, stop payments on checks or credit/debit cards, or the initiation of a chargeback claim with a Bidder’s credit/debit card provider. BIDDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THERE EXIST NO LEGAL BASIS FOR INITIATING A CHARGEBACK CLAIM FOR ANY PURCHASED PRODUCT, AND BIDDER SPECIFICALLY AGREES TO REFRAIN FROM THE FILING OF ANY SUCH CLAIM. In the event a Bidder does not receive a purchased Product within thirty (30) days of payment, or the Bidder takes issue with a Product’s grading or condition, Bidder’s only recourse shall be against the third-party shipping company's insurance and/or the appropriate grading service.
13. LIMITED RETURNS. The following terms shall govern the limited return policy available to some Bidders for certain Product(s) under limited circumstances.
a. No certified Product(s) may be returned because of possible difference of opinion with respect to the grade offered by any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for non-certified Product(s) sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Bidders will solely rely upon the posted photographs of the Product/Lot, and not the written description.
b. Under extremely limited circumstances (e.g. gross cataloging error), a successful Bidder may request S&SC to evaluate voiding a sale, if and only if: (i) such request is made in writing detailing the alleged gross error and submitted to S&SC (at safesoundhelp@gmail.com) within three (3) days of receipt of the Product(s); (ii) submission of the Product(s) to S&SC are pre-approve d by an authorized S&SC representative; and (iii) the successful Bidder notifies Christian Lyche (13851 West 63rd Street, Shawnee, KS 66216) in writing of such request within three (3) days of the Bidder’s receipt of the Product(s). Any Product that is to be evaluated must be in S&SC’s office (13851 West 63rd Street, Shawnee, KS 66216) within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the Product(s) auction. Grading or method of manufacture do not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of Product(s). AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD, NO PRODUCTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. IT IS WITHIN S&SC’S SOLE DISCRETION TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE ALLEGED ERROR QUALIFIES FOR A PARTIAL, COMPLETE, OR NO REFUND (SUBJECT TO A 15% RESTOCKING FEE SET FORTH HEREIN). Returned Products must be housed intact in their unaltered original holders or packaging. Late remittance of payment for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges.
c. THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY. Certified Coin, Uncertified, and Certified Currency lots paid for within seven (7) days of the auction or “Buy it Now” sale are sold with three (3) day return privileges unless otherwise noted in the description as “Sold As Is / No Return”. You may return Product(s) under the following limited conditions: (i) within three (3) days of receipt of the Product(s), you must first notify S&SC by email (at safesoundhelp@gmail.com) and telephone (469-634-8839), obtain written pre -approval via email, and immediately ship the return Product(s) in their original condition, fully insured, and housed in their original holder or packaging, to the attention of “SAFE AND SOUND CONSULTANTS, LLC – RETURNS, 13851 West 63rd Street, Shawnee, KS 66216.” Said return Product(s) must be in S&SC’s possession, custody, and control within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the Product(s) auction or such return privileges are revoked without further notice and the late Product will be shipped back to the Bidder at his/her/its sole expense. A non-negotiable restocking fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the purchase price ($10.00 per Product/lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each returned Product (or billed directly to the Bidder). Postage and handling, customs, and other fees are not refunded. After the three - day period (from Bidder’s receipt), no Product(s) may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for purchases revokes these return privileges.
d. Bidders who have inspected the Product(s) in-person prior to an auction or “Buy it Now” purchase, or bid through an agent, will not be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of authenticity.
e. Coins sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “AS IS'' without any express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by S&SC that they are genuine. Removal or alteration of the holder, voids all of Bidder’s claims concerning that Product. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and Bidders are referred to them for further details: Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), PO Box 4776, Sarasota, FL 34230, www.ngccoin.com /services/writtenguarantee.asp; Professional Coin Grading Services (PCGS), PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658, www.pcgs.com /guarantee.htm l; ANACS, 6555 S. Kenton St., Ste. 303, Englewood, CO 80111; and Independent Coin Grading Co. (ICG), 7901 East Bellview, Ave., Suite 50, Englewood, CO 80111.
f. Notes sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “AS IS'' without any express or implied warranty, except for guarantee by S&SC that they are genuine. Grading, condition, or other attributes of any Product may have a material effect on its value and the opinion of others, including third-party grading services such as PCGS Currency and PMG may differ with that of S&SC. S&SC shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination, or certification by any grading service. Bidders specifically waive any claim to right of return of any Product because of the opinion, determination, or certification, or lack thereof, by any grading service. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and Bidders are referred to them for further details: Paper Money Guaranty (PMG), PO Box 4711, Sarasota, FL 34230; PCGS Currency, PO Box 10470, Peoria , IL 61612-0470; PCGS Gold Shield, PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658. Third-party graded notes are not returnable for any reason whatsoever.
g. Notes graded by PCGS Currency between February 4, 2009, and January 30, 2019, were graded and authenticated by K3B, Inc. under license from Collectors Universe, Inc. K3B, Inc., now operating as Legacy Currency Grading, has expressed in writing that notes graded under the license during this time period will still be covered by the full written guarantee of PCGS Currency. Warranties may be available from Collectors Universe, Inc. for PCGS Currency notes graded prior to February 4, 2009.
h. Since S&SC cannot examine encapsulated coins or notes, they are sold “AS IS” without S&SC’s grading opinion, and may not be returned for any reason. S&SC shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated Product. In any such instance, Bidder’s remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the Product.
i. Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of Products by subsequent owners, S&SC reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the Product, but shall have no obligation to do so. S&SC also reserves the right to grade Product(s) differently than the grades shown in a prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction or “Buy it Now” sale but shall have no obligation to do so.
j. Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid, that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a Product is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to the same service, the Product could come back with a different grade assigned.
k. Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified coins and collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some Products there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
l. All non-certified coins and currency are guaranteed genuine, but are not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and therefore the description rendered by S&SC or any third-party grading service may not agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the same item with the same grade at two different times. S&SC may, but is not obligated to, describe non-certified numismatic items, in S&SC’s opinion, to its then current interpretation of the American Numismatic Association’s standards as of the date the catalog was prepared. There is no guarantee or warranty expressed or implied that the grading standards utilized by S&SC, if any, will meet the standards of any grading service at any time in the future.
m. Storage of purchased coins, tokens and currency: Bidders understand and acknowledge that certain types of plastic may react with a coin, token or currency’s surface or transfer plasticizer to notes and may cause damage. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that you shall exercise caution to avoid the use of storage materials that are not inert.
14. RESTOCKING FEE. All Products which qualify for return and are returned in strict conformity with the notice and physical return requirements set forth herein, shall be subject to mandatory restocking fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Product’s Auction or “Buy it Now” purchase price.
15. WAIVER, RELEASE AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. In con sideration of participation in S&SC Auctions or “Buy it Now ” listings, you, for yourself, your heirs, agents, successors, and assigns, generally and specifically waive and release, and forever discharge S&SC, and its owners, members, managers, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and representatives, and their respective successors and assigns, from any and all claims, rights, demands, causes of action, arbitrations, lawsuits, or other legal proceedings, of whatever kind or nature, including, but not limited to claims base dup on S&SC’s alleged negligence, whether in law or equity, tort or otherwise, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which you may assert with respect and/or arising out of, or in connection with any challenge to the title to or authenticity of any Product purchased, the sale itself, any Product/lot bid upon or consigned, the Auction, or the “Buy it Now ” listing, except where such Claim expressly authorized in this Agreement .
