Important Notice: This is a binding legal contract between the Seller (Customer) and International Gold & Silver (the Buyer). Read this document entirely before signing. By executing this agreement in person, via digital signature, or by accepting a cash, check, or electronic payout, you accept all terms outlined below.



1. Representation of Ownership, Clear Title, & Provenance

The Seller hereby represents, warrants, and guarantees that they are the sole absolute legal owner of the precious metals, coins, jewelry, or bullion presented for sale ("the Property") and possess clear, unencumbered, and marketable title to said Property globally. The Seller guarantees that the Property is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, pledges, judicial attachments, or claims of any kind by any third party, spouse, relative, creditor, estate, or sovereign entity. The Seller further warrants that the items are not stolen, counterfeit, altered, or associated with any domestic or international criminal activity. The Seller agrees to provide verifiable documentation of provenance or chain of custody immediately upon the Buyer's request.


2. Identification, AML Compliance, & KYC Verification

The Seller agrees to provide valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification (such as a Driver’s License, National ID Card, or Passport) and authorizes the Buyer to make a copy or digital scan of all documentation. The Seller acknowledges that this transaction is subject to strict Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, FinCEN regulations, and international Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards. The Seller certifies under penalty of perjury that all identity, residential, and tax information provided is entirely accurate, authentic, and legally valid worldwide.


3. Absolute Indemnification & Liability Release

The Seller agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold completely harmless International Gold & Silver, its parent companies, subsidiaries, owners, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, lawsuits, regulatory fines, and legal fees (including attorney's fees) arising out of or relating to any breach of the Seller's warranties—specifically including any future claims by third parties asserting ownership or rights over the purchased items. If the items are discovered to be stolen, counterfeit, chemically altered, or legally restricted, the Seller assumes full personal civil and criminal liability, and is legally bound to refund the exact payout amount to the Buyer immediately upon demand, plus interest, processing costs, and direct or consequential legal fees.


4. Global Tax Requisites & Regulatory Reporting

The Seller understands and explicitly acknowledges that the Buyer is bound by federal, state, and international tax and financial reporting laws.

  • IRS Informational Returns: The Seller agrees to completely fill out, sign, and supply all information required for IRS Form 1099-B, IRS Form 8300, FATCA reporting, or any other federal, state, or foreign asset and income tracking forms dictated by the transaction type, metal purity, volume, or payout threshold.

  • Withholding & Refusal: Payouts will be legally withheld or canceled if the Seller refuses to provide a valid Social Security Number (SSN), Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), or international equivalent when requested for mandatory regulatory compliance.


5. Finality of Transaction & Irrevocable Title Transfer

The Seller acknowledges and agrees that once a payout has been issued (whether by cash, physical check, wire transfer, cryptocurrency, or ACH credit) and this agreement has been executed, the transaction is final, unconditional, and completely irrevocable. The Seller permanently relinquishes all rights, titles, interests, and claims to the Property. International Gold & Silver is under no obligation to hold, store, or return the items, and reserves the right to immediately melt, refine, alter, resell, or ship the items across state or international lines without delay.


6. Online, Cross-Border, Mail-In, and Multi-State Transactions

For all transactions initiated online, via mail, or involving cross-border transport:

  • Risk of Loss: The Seller bears all risk of loss, theft, damage, or seizure by customs and border protection agencies during transport until the Property is physically delivered to, inspected by, and formally accepted in writing by the Buyer at its designated facility.

  • Customs & Duties: The Seller is solely responsible for compliance with all import/export laws, declarations, and tariffs.

  • Counterfeit & Rejected Items: If items are determined by the Buyer's evaluation to be counterfeit, gold-plated, base metal, or significantly under-karat, the Seller is responsible for paying return shipping costs. If return shipping costs are not paid within thirty (30) days of notice, the items will be treated as abandoned property and disposed of at the Buyer’s discretion.

  • Currency Fluctuations: Payouts are calculated based on market rates at the exact time of formal written acceptance by the Buyer. The Buyer is not liable for market or currency fluctuations during transit.


7. Sanctions & Trade Restrictions Warranty

The Seller explicitly warrants that they are not a target of any economic or trade sanctions administered by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, or any other relevant global governing authority. The Seller guarantees they are not acting on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any individual or entity listed on a prohibited parties or sanctions list. Any violation of this clause voids the transaction immediately, and the Buyer will freeze the assets and report the transaction to federal authorities as legally required.


8. Governing Law, Exclusive Jurisdiction, and Severability

This Agreement, and all transactions associated with it, shall be governed by, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State in which the primary operating office of the Buyer is located, without regard to conflict of law principles or international treaties like the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Any legal action, dispute, or lawsuit arising directly out of this agreement must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the Buyer’s corporate home jurisdiction. The Seller waives any right to a jury trial or to participate in class-action lawsuits. If any single provision of this contract is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of law, all remaining clauses shall remain in full force and effect.
