13. Volatility of Market. The success of an investment in coins is dependent, in part, upon extrinsic economic forces including supply, demand, domestic and international monetary conditions, inflation and/or the expectation of inflation. The impact of these forces on the values of coins cannot be predicted with any certainty. Customer acknowledges that the coin and precious market can be volatile and that coin and precious metal prices may rise or fall over time and that past performance is no indication of future performance. Moreover, coins and precious metals are not suitable investments for anyone seeking current income. 4GG shall not be liable for loss caused directly or indirectly by any exchange or market ruling, government restriction, or any “force majeure” (e.g. Acts of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, terrorism, communications or power failure) or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of 4GG.

14. Remedy for Customer’s Breach of Contract Agreement. In the event that Customer refuses to accept delivery of the purchased item(s) or fails to make payment when due, it will constitute a breach of this Agreement. 4GG, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to recover from Customer a 5 % (five percent) repurchase fee and the difference in any market fluctuations. 4GG shall be entitled to recover any incidental damages caused by Customer’s breach.

15. Retirement Accounts. 4GG has made every effort to comply with current federal laws in connection with coins which are placed in an IRA. However, 4GG expressly disclaims any responsibility or obligation for any tax impact to Customer as a result of future Internal Revenue Code regulations or interpretations of current law. Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that Customer has been advised to seek independent tax advice and that 4GG has made no representations regarding the tax impact of coins held as an investment in an IRA.

16. Buy-Back of Purchased Item(s). 4GG is a buyer of Rare Coins and bullion at the prevailing current market value. If Customer wishes to sell such items in the future, 4GG encourages Customer to offer them to 4GG first. 4GG is prohibited by law from guaranteeing to repurchase coins sold by 4GG. However, 4GG has always made buy/sell markets in the coins we offer at the highest posted bid price on the electronic exchange. This buy-back policy is not a guarantee and is subject to change without notice. Any risk of loss from all hazards shall be borne by Customer until any item(s) purchased by 4GG are actually received by 4GG.

17. Refund Policy.

a. No Refunds Except as to Counterfeit Coin(s). 4GG shall not be obliged to accept returns of any coin(s) for refund other than counterfeit coins returned in their original holders within one year of purchase. In the case of counterfeit coins, 4GG’s liability to Customer shall be limited to refund of the purchase price or replacement of the coin(s) in question 4GG expressly disclaims any further liability to Customer, including any liability for lost profits or consequential damages as a result of counterfeit coins. In no event will 4GG be liable for a replacement or refund of the purchase price for any coin purchased by Customer if more than one year has elapsed since the date of purchase, regardless of when Customer became aware of the claim.

b. Bullion. ALL BULLION TRANSACTIONS ARE FINAL UNLESS THE ITEM HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE FALSE BY COMPETENT AUTHORITY.

18. Disclaimer of Express Warranties. 4GG warrants that the nature and precious metals content of the purchased item(s) are as described and are genuine, but no other express warranty is made in respect to any purchased item(s). Grades and descriptions of rare coins are opinions only, not statements of fact or guarantees, and are based on standards and interpretations that can and do change over time. 4GG uses contemporary grading standards and interpretations to grade coins, or relies upon the opinions of independent grading services such as the Professional Coin Grading Service, (PGCS); Numismatic Guaranty Corporation of America (NGC); and American Numismatic Association Certification Service (ANACS). 4GG does not guarantee that the coins it sells will achieve the same grades from 4GG itself or from any independent grading service in the future.

19. Finality of this Writing. This Agreement is intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement concerning the matters contained herein, and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement. This Agreement supersedes any oral or written statement prior to or contemporaneous with this transaction by 4GG. Customer shall not rely on any statement by or on behalf of 4GG which is inconsistent with this Agreement. 4GG reserves the right at any time to amend, change, revise, add or modify the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

21. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable to any extent, that provision shall, if possible, be construed as though more narrowly drawn, if a narrower construction would avoid such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability or, if that is not possible, such provision shall, to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, be severed, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.
