BY PLACING AN ORDER WITH GOLD DE ROYALE YOU ARE TAKEN TO HAVE AGREED TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE AS SET OUT IN THIS WEBSITE.

 
(I) Transaction Terms and Conditions
1.1 For Personal/Business/Bank cheques
Owing to market volatility and other conditions Gold De Royale cannot specify the exact amount of Bullion that can be purchased if a client chooses to pay by personal/business/bank cheque. If you are paying by personal/business/bank cheque, please note the following terms:
a)
We take personal/business/bank cheque for Bullion orders from $5000.
b)
You must first contact us via e-mail if using any of the above-mentioned transaction methods. We may be able to give you an approximate amount of Bullion that can be purchased based on the current day's price fixed by us.
c)

Gold De Royale cannot backdate prices to the time funds appear in its bank account.

d)
Only when the funds are cleared, can Gold De Royale quote how many grams or kilos of Bullion can be purchased by the client. All quotes are valid only up to the time and date mentioned in the quote. After the specific time and date have expired, the quote expires and is no longer binding on Gold De Royale.
e)
If the client does not accept the quote, the client's funds will be returned via electronic funds transfer to the client's bank account within seven business days.
f)
If the client accepts the quote, then the price is set and a contract exists between Gold De Royale and the client. By accepting the quote you agree to our Terms and Conditions as given on our website. Once a quote is accepted the client is bound to proceed with completion of the contract and is not entitled to any refund except as required by law.

1.2 For Electronic Funds Transfer
a)
We take electronic funds transfer for Bullion orders for any amount.
b)
You must first contact us via e-mail if using electronic funds transfer. We will be able to give you an approximate amount of Bullion that can be purchased based on the current day's price fixed by us.
c)
All quotes are valid only up to the time and date mentioned in the quote. After the specific time and date have expired, the quote expires and is no longer binding on Gold De Royale.
d)
Gold De Royale cannot backdate prices to the time funds appear in its bank account.
e)
If the client accepts the quote, then the price is set and a contract exists between Gold De Royale and the client. By accepting the quote you agree to our Terms and Conditions as given on our website. Once a quote is accepted the client is bound to proceed with completion of the contract and is not entitled to any refund except as required by law.
f)
We will accept electronic funds transfer from your account to our account. Our bank account details will be provided by us. Funds must be transferred immediately within the time frame advised by us. If funds are not transferred within the required time frame, the quote expires and the client is in default of the contract between the client and Gold De Royale. Gold De Royale may take legal action against you.
g)
You need to send us proof that you have electronically transferred the funds. This can be done by one of two methods:
 
i.
If you are sending the funds over the counter in a bank, the bank will give you proof that your funds have been electronically transferred to our account. You can then send us a fax or a scanned copy of that document via e-mail.
ii.
If you are sending the funds via internet banking you can take a Print Screen of the electronic funds transfer confirmation (located on your computer key board as ‘PrtScr' or ‘Print Screen') and paste that to an MS-Word document showing that the funds have been transferred to our account. You can then send that document to us via e-mail.

h) As the precious metals markets are extremely volatile, funds must be received in Gold De Royale’s bank account on the same day the transaction takes place. While most major banks in Australia (Westpac Bank, National Australia Bank, Commonwealth Bank etc) are able to transfer funds on the same day to our bank account, some state banks and credit unions are not able to do so. If in doubt please contact your bank for further information. You can also withdraw cash from your bank account and deposit it directly to our bank account.

i)  If funds are not received on the same day in our bank account when the transaction takes place, the client agrees to pay any difference in the price, if the price of bullion increases when the funds get cleared. As gold prices are initially fixed by Gold De Royale in United States dollar (US Dollar) before we convert it to Australian dollars (AUD) for ease of transaction purposes, it is essential that we receive your funds on the same day.

» For example (scenario one), on 2nd June 2009 the quoted price for gold bullion purchase was AUD$19,321 equivalent to US$15,481.40. We received your cleared funds in our bank account on 4thJune 2009 even though you sent it on 2nd June 2009.  On 4th June 2009, the US Dollar was stronger than 2nd June 2009 where by which for US$15,481.40 you can now purchase only AUD$19,196. Therefore, the difference that you need to pay us would be AUD$125 to cover for market loss. Gold De Royale will quote you the price (price will be fixed by us) that you need to pay us to cover for market loss and the client agrees to pay this difference. Another example is (scenario 2), you transfered the money on 2nd June 2009 and we received the funds in our bank account on 3rd June 2009. Bullion prices went up on 3rd June 2009,so you have to pay any difference in the contracted price and the new price.  

j)
In most cases the above-mentioned methods are sufficient proof of electronic funds transfer. If in doubt we may at our discretion ask you to contact your bank to send us a email or fax.
 
i.
We will process your purchase order once the funds are cleared.

(III) Shipping and Delivery Policy

     
3.1 Shipping information
a)
We will advise you when your Bullion is available for delivery. The cost of shipping including insurance will be automatically calculated during check-out for website orders. For non-website orders the cost of shipping and insurance will be calculated by us. Risk passes to the client upon collection of the Bullion by the nominated shipping method. It is the client's responsibility to arrange insurance from this point onward. The client acknowledges that from the time of delivery the client will have the necessary insurance to guard against any loss which may occur in relation to the Bullion from such time. Gold De Royale provides no advice regarding the terms of any insurance, the suitability of the insurance for the client or, the eligibility of the client to claim under the insurance policy.
b)
We may be able to arrange shipping by secured armoured carriers/armed guards and we can quote you a price for this special delivery. Delivery may be arranged directly to your bank or private vault or business address  or private home address through these private armoured  carriers/armed guards.
c)
Once you are advised that your order has been shipped, your purchase order will be delivered except in cases where the address supplied is incorrect, illegible, incomplete or if the client is away or has moved or if you do not collect the package on time, in which case you will be liable. Gold De Royale is not liable under any circumstances if you have nominated someone else to collect the package on your behalf or someone else collects it without your authorisation or using fake identity or the address is a non-residential address and is signed by a third party. Gold De Royale will not accept any liability if you have instructed the particular carrier to leave the package for you without the need for a signature. Due to any unforeseen circumstances if the bullion order that we ship to you gets lost or stolen during the transit period, Gold De Royale will file a claim with our insurer. The client will be paid the money that was used to purchase the bullion from us once we receive the money from the insurer. 
d)
Each purchase order can be insured for up to $10,000 only. For example, if your purchase order is $10,001 we would ship it in two different packages as each package can be insured only up to $10,000. We may at our discretion ship packages above $10,000 and still insure the package.
e)
Courier shipping charges: A flat rate of $19 per courier package of value up to $10,000. For example, if your purchase order is $10,001 we will ship the items in two courier packages, so you will pay $38 for shipping. (Note: Shipping charges for international customers not living in Australia are different. Please contact us via email to know the shipping charges via courier for other countries). Customers please note that if you are not available when the courier comes to deliver the package, they will leave you a card that tells you from where you need to collect the package. It is your responsibility to collect the package as per the instructions given on the card as soon as possible without delay. If you ask the courier company to re-deliver the package to you, this means that they (Courier Company) will charge Gold De Royale re-delivery fees. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you personally go and collect the package and do not ask for re-delivery. If you ask for re-delivery, Gold De Royale will charge your credit card for $19 which is the re-delivery fees and you agree to pay this amount to Gold De Royale. In some cases, we may ask the client a deposit (this is in addition to our courier shipping cost) of $19 before we ship the clients order via courier. The deposit will be paid back to the client when the client does not request the courier company to redeliver the package. If redelivery occurs regardless of the circumstances, the client will forfeit the $19 paid to us.
f)
Registered Post shipping charges: A flat rate of $18 per package of value up to $10,000. For example, if your purchase order is $10,001 we will ship the items in two registered post packages, so you will pay $36 for shipping.

g)

We currently provide FREE transit insurance for all bullion purchases. This is only applicable to registered post and courier.
h)
We may at our discretion change the shipping method, if we find that the area to which we are to ship is considered a high risk. We may also ship packages at our discretion valued more than $10,000 as  a single or double shipment and still insure it to the total value of purchase.  In such cases we may charge the client an additional shipping fee to ship the items safely and securely. Gold De Royale reserves the right not to ship your order to a business or a residential address if we consider the shipping address to be of a high risk. In such cases, we will ship your order to the nearest courier depot available near to your address and the customer agrees to the pick up their order from the courier depot (we will advice you on how to collect your order and the name of the courier company).

3.2 Delivery Period for Bullion

All orders placed with Gold De Royale will be dispatched as soon as possible. Due to the high demand for Swiss precious metals and for London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) accredited precious metals, orders can take up to 6 weeks for delivery as demand outweighs supply.   While Gold De Royale strives to dispatch all orders quickly, this may not be possible owing to a high market demand for Bullion. Gold De Royale will not be liable for any claims associated with late deliveries.

3.3 Supply Interrupted
If Gold De Royale is directly or indirectly prevented from making supply or otherwise performing an obligation, by reason of events beyond its reasonable control (including any force majeure event including drought limiting or restricting availability of input products of required quality, act of God, fire, earthquake, flood, lightning strikes, natural disaster, mechanical or electrical failure, industrial action or dispute, lockout, epidemic, war or act of war (whether declared or not), terrorism, revolution, malicious damage, sabotage, civil unrest or disturbance or action or inaction of any foreign or domestic government or third party), its obligations are suspended while it is prevented from so doing.  Gold De Royale will use all reasonable endeavours to terminate the event giving rise to delay but that will not include the settling of an industrial dispute on disadvantageous terms.  Upon termination of the event Gold De Royale must resume the performance of its obligations under this contract at the earliest date reasonably possible.

(V) Secure Bullion Storage

a)
We do provide secure storage facilities for precious metals only for our clients. We understand that owing to the inherent value of precious metals our clients can have difficulty in finding suitable storage because of the lack of secure storage facilities available. Therefore, Gold De Royale offers the highest level of security available in the precious metals industry, known as segregated vault storage. If you would like us to store your precious metals, we will gladly do it for you. When you appoint us to store your bullion, your bullion will be counted twice by two different appointed personnel and both must agree and then sign the inventory list. Your precious metals are then placed into a secured casing and tagged with your name, certificate of storage number and contents and then securely stored in a vault at The Reserve Vault, Brisbane, Queensland . We then mail you a Certificate of Storage that lists the items. The Reserve Vault is a highly secured facility that provides secure storage for valuables and has been given the best security rating in Australia by the world-renowned Lloyd's of London.
b)
With this level of security the actual Bullions that you brought are stored separately, and not mixed with anyone else's. If you ever require your precious metals shipped to you, just let us know and it will be on its way at the earliest. Even if twenty years have passed, you will receive exactly the same Bullions that you have purchased. Various terms and conditions and prices apply if you choose this option. Please contact us and we will send you the necessary information with the various charges made for this service.
c)
Please note that we provide this service only to clients who have purchased precious metals from us.
