Purchases, Sales, and Orders - Policies and Procedures

You may make purchases, sell to, and order from SilverStax only in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and accompanying policies and procedures. Upon placing an order to purchase or sell with SilverStax, you have entered into a binding and legally enforceable agreement. Prices and availability are subject to change, without notice.

When placing an order on the Website, the price at which your order is submitted is the guaranteed price. An “order number” will subsequently be forwarded to you via email and may be shown to you on the final website confirmation page. Your credit card information is required to guarantee all orders other than orders that are using a credit card as the payment method. In order to reserve your guaranteed price, your payment must be received by SilverStax within one (1) business day for wire payments or any payment method when “pick up in person” is selected as the delivery method. For orders that will be shipped and you are sending us a personal check, cashiers check, or money order, payments MUST be postmarked within one (1) business day of order placement and MUST be received within five (5) business days of order placement. We are NOT responsible for delays in receiving your payment by any carrier. If not received AND the postmark is within one (1) business day of your order date, we, at our sole discretion, have the right to cancel your order and execute our market loss policy.

In most cases, orders will be canceled if payment is received after the allotted time frame. When an order is canceled, our market loss policy will go into effect and, in addition, a $95 cancelation fee will be applied. If we do choose to accept late payment, a $45 late payment fee will be applied and must be paid before the order can be picked up or shipped. There are no exceptions to this policy. If any order is in error, due to SilverStax’ fault or otherwise, we reserve the right to cancel the order.

When selling to SilverStax the price is guaranteed. As a general policy, the transaction may not be cancelled but may be offset at SilverStax’ current purchase price. Sales to SilverStax must be shipped within one (1) business day and you must contact SilverStax via email at adam@silverstax.com or telephone at 704-776-2699 to provide a tracking number so that we can confirm that the product has been shipped and is en route.

All products sold to SilverStax must be received by SilverStax within five (5) business days, else the customer will be charged any Market Losses as well as a $95 administrative fee. If SilverStax does not receive the product within five (5) business days but the delay is attributable to the carrier, SilverStax may extend the deadline, in its sole and absolute discretion.

Without limiting any other legal or equitable rights and remedies that may be available to SilverStax, in the event of any failure by you to comply with these Terms and Conditions, SilverStax may suspend or terminate your account. The suspension or the termination of your account shall not affect your obligations as set forth in these Terms and Conditions.Additional terms, including, without limitation, prices, payment methods, refund and cancellation policies, and exchange policies may be posted from time to time on the Website.

Fraud. We reserve the right, but undertake no obligation, to actively report and prosecute actual and suspected credit card fraud, or any other type of fraud that we detect or suspect to the appropriate authorities. We may, in our discretion, require further authorization from you such as a telephone confirmation of your order and other information, such as a copy of a government issued ID. We reserve the right to cancel, delay, refuse to ship, or recall from the shipper any order if fraud is suspected. We capture certain information during the order process, including, without limitation, information that will be used to locate and identify individuals committing fraud. If any Website order is suspected to be fraudulent, we reserve the right, but undertake no obligation, to submit all records, with or without a subpoena, to all law enforcement agencies and to the credit card company for fraud investigation. We reserve the right to cooperate with authorities to prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law.

Payment Options

SilverStax requires that all payments be made via credit card, debit card (in person only), bank wire, personal check, certified check, cashier’s check, money order, or cash (in person only). Depending upon the amount of an order, SilverStax reserves the right to request additional documentation. SilverStax also reserves the right to hold certified checks, personal checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders for up to ten (10) banking days prior to shipping but typically holds them for 4-6 business days. In cases of suspected fraud, certified checks, personal checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders may be held up to 45 calendar days, although this is rare. Bank wire is always recommended. By choosing to pay with a credit or debit card, you expressly authorize SilverStax to authorize and capture your credit card payment prior to shipment. We do not accept cash payment in excess of $10,000.

SilverStax expressly reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order, for any reason, at its sole discretion, regardless of payment method and price confirmation.

In the instance of a paper check payment that is returned as nsf (not sufficient funds), SilverStax reserves the right to cancel the order and charge administrative fees and market losses, and bill the payable balance to the credit card on file.

Payment Instructions

SilverStax will issue payment instructions to you during the ordering process and via email following completion of your order. SilverStax does not accept Cash on Delivery orders. SilverStax reserves the right to cancel orders where payment is not dated within one (1) business day for bank wire orders or one (1) business day for paper check orders.

Cancellation Policy

Once you have placed an order to buy with SilverStax you have entered into a binding legal agreement, and cannot cancel the confirmed order. However, after your confirmed order has been placed, prior to it being shipped, the confirmed Purchase Price (“Purchase Price”) may be offset (i.e. the product can be sold back to SilverStax) at SilverStax’ current Buy Price on the day that we receive your email or telephone request for such an offsetting transaction. Credit card orders may not be offset 48 hours following the time of order creation.

All order offset requests must be made during normal business hours, Monday-Friday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST. SilverStax reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to permit cancellation and/or offsetting your order.

Offsetting orders are subject to our market loss policy, described below, plus a $95.00 (USD) administrative fee. As applicable, the difference between the Purchase Price and our Buy Price will be added to the $95.00 (USD) administrative fee. In the event of a confirmed cancelled order, you expressly authorize SilverStax to automatically bill the credit card on file for the difference between the Purchase Price and the Asking Price, plus the $95.00 (USD) administrative fee. Alternatively, in the event that your credit card is denied, SilverStax reserves the right to invoice you, in which case, you expressly agree to pay the amount due, in full, within ten (10) business days. Future orders are not permitted unless and until any cancellation and other related fees are paid in full. Any and all market gains on cancellations shall belong solely to SilverStax.

For cancelled/offsetting orders, $95.00, plus the difference between the Purchase Price and SilverStax’s Buy Price will be charged.

After SilverStax has shipped the product, the order is final and cannot be canceled. If you refuse shipment the product will be returned to us and you can either pay to have it reshipped or accept Market Loss fees upon return plus a standard $95 cancellation fee.

SilverStax reserves the right to refuse or cancel an order for any reason or for no reason at all, regardless of payment method or price confirmation, including without limitation, for orders SilverStax deems questionable or suspicious, for orders SilverStax deems to be a significant risk, when the confirmed price is incorrect, for abrupt movements in the precious metals market, and/or when SilverStax does not receive payment within the allotted timeframe.SilverStax is not responsible for pricing or typographical errors and expressly reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel any and all orders placed with respect to such items. In the event of a cancelled order SilverStax will contact you directly with notification of the cancellation.

Return Policy

All sales for bullion products by SilverStax’s are FINAL. Products can be sold back to SilverStax at any time by calling us on 704-776-2699 and the price of that sale back to SilverStax will be determined by the SilverStax Buy Price indicated on our website at the time of the sale back to SilverStax.

However, SilverStax wants our customers to be satisfied with their purchases from SilverStax. 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 fourteen (14) Business 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 support representatives by telephone at 704-776-2699 , and who receive written confirmation that the exchange request has been approved. If approved, the support representatives 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, the cost or SilverStax reshipping and the risk of loss during the return shipment as part of the exchange. SilverStax 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 SilverStax.

SilverStax Market Loss Policy

Upon issuance of an order number following a purchase from SilverStax, the price is guaranteed and you may not cancel the transaction. The transaction may only be offset at SilverStax’ current buy price. If your item is cancelled, you are responsible for any deficit between the price at which SilverStax sold the item to you and the offsetting buy price. As set forth above, all cancellations are subject to our market loss policy, in addition to a $95.00 (USD) administrative fee. Market gains on cancellations or returns shall remain the property of SilverStax.

Without limiting any other legal or equitable rights and remedies that may be available to SilverStax, SilverStax may elect to apply any and all of your funds in its possession to satisfy your monetary obligations and/or may offset any obligations that SilverStax may have to you. SilverStax also reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to apply any/all funds in its possession toward the satisfaction of your obligations to SilverStax.

Shipment and Delivery

Product availability is indicated on each item listed on our website. There may be slight differences in delivery times between items that are being shipped versus items that will be picked up in person. These delivery times are indicated on each coins individual shopping page.

When a product is indicated as “in stock”, then it will ship 1-3 business days from the date of the cleared payment.

When a product is indicated as delayed, the information on how long that delay will be is estimated during the checkout process on the website, if available. This normally only happens when demand spikes and manufacturers/distributors get backlogged. Our experience indicates that these backlogs can range from a few days to up to 60 days.

Items are shipped using known carriers. The vast majority of orders will be shipped via the US Postal Service Priority or Express Mail. UPS or Fedex may also be used and either ground or second day air are the most common ways items are shipped, depending upon the total value of the shipment and the weight of the shipment.

Applicable taxes, as well as shipping and handling charges are not reflected. You are fully responsible for applicable taxes, and shipping and handling charges. Each package requires a signature upon delivery. SilverStax fully insures all of its shipments. Should anything happen while your package is in transit to you it will be covered by our insurance policy.

However, we will not accept responsibility if you have left instructions with any carriers or delivery service to leave parcels unattended for you without the need for a signature or if you have given them instructions to leave your package with a third party. When we ship to you, if metals are lost or damaged in transit, SilverStax assumes responsibility to pursue any claim with the insurance company. If we determine the package is lost or damaged, we will 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 may do so only once the insurance investigation has been concluded, which usually takes sixty to ninety (60-90) days. SilverStax, at its sole discretions, may decide to ship you a lost product(s) before the insurance investigations has concluded.

Please note that SilverStax will not be responsible for reimbursements or insurance claims on packages that are successfully delivered as addressed. Our liability and insurance ceases the moment the package is signed for or left at the specified delivery address. Any issues or problems with a shipment MUST be reported within 2 business days, else SilverStax may have to refute any claims.

Export Compliance

Each product that SilverStax sells is subject to all United States export laws. Therefore, no products may be exported or re-exported into, or to a national or resident of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria or any country to which the United States has embargoed goods. Additionally, no products may be exported or re-exported to anyone on the United States Treasury Department’s list of specially designated nationals or the United States Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders.

Termination

Either SilverStax or you may terminate these Terms and Conditions, for any reason, including convenience, with or without cause, at any time by written notice to the other party. The termination of these Terms and Conditions shall not affect the rights and the obligations of SilverStax or you with respect to the period prior to the date of termination.
