Please read these Terms carefully and make sure that you understand them before ordering any Products from us. Please note that by ordering any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these Terms and the other documents expressly referred to in them.
These Terms, and any contract between us are only in the English language. Please note we may not necessarily keep a copy of your contract and we may amend these Terms from time to time.

If you are unsure if the Products that you wish to purchase are Investment Products or Non-investment Products, please contact us to confirm this before placing your Order. Please be aware that some of the terms and conditions which apply to sales of Investment Products (particularly those concerning cancellation of orders) are different to those which apply to Non-investment Products, as set out in these Terms.

(b) in respect of Orders placed over the telephone, the price quoted by us to you during that telephone call, provided that in the case of Investment Products, payment and personal information is received by the applicable deadline; and
(c) in respect of Orders placed in response to Adverts, the price set out in that Advert, provided that in the case of Investment Products the price has not changed between the date on which the Advert is printed and the date on which we receive your Order (in which case clause 6.11(b) shall apply) and payment and personal information is received by the applicable deadline.
The price of Investment Products is dependent on market fluctuations in price and if payment or any required personal information is not received by the applicable deadline, the price of the Investment Product may increase according to market fluctuations, in which case, clause 9 shall apply.

All Orders with a value of £60 and above are sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery, or by Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed for delivery destinations outside of the UK. Further information about our delivery charges is set out during the online order process, in our Adverts, and in respect of telephone Orders, will be notified to you over the telephone (as applicable).
7.5 We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time at which they are provided. However, we supply a wide range of Products and it is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, the price we provide to you in respect of some of our Products may be incorrect. It is also possible that when paying for your Products you may pay the wrong amount. The following provisions shall apply where we discover an error in the price of any Product that you have ordered when processing your Order.
Our pricing error
(a) If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct higher price or cancelling your Order. We will not take any further steps to process your Order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the Order as cancelled and notify you in writing. If you have paid any part of the price of the Product but we are unable to contact you to take your further instructions, we will refund such sums to you as soon as reasonably possible.
(b) If we accept an Order where there is a pricing error that is obvious and unmistakable and which could reasonably have been recognised by you as mispricing, we may end the contract with you, refund to you any sums you have paid under the contract and required the return of any Products supplied to you under that contract.
Your pricing error
(c) If we have quoted the correct price to you and a contract between us for the supply of the Products has been formed, but when paying the price you have paid an amount less than the quoted price, you must make payment of the remainder due by the deadline we notify to you. Your Product will not be delivered until such outstanding amount is received in cleared funds. If you do not pay such amount due within this time, clause 9.1 will apply.
This clause 7.5 only applies to pricing errors. Where prices have changed because of your late payment, clause 9 shall apply.

We will not accept an Order received by post, and a contract for the supply of Products will not be formed unless we have received payment.

9.1 If payment is not made in accordance with the applicable deadline set out in clause 8.5 or 8.6, or if the personal information required under clause 6.2 is not provided by the relevant deadline:
(a) we may charge you an administration fee of 1% of the price of the Product(s) (subject to a minimum fee of £10 and a maximum fee of £500) (Administration Fee) to cover our administrative costs incurred as a result of you breaking the contract by failing to make payment or provide your personal information by the relevant deadline. Any Administration Fee shall be payable within seven days of you being notified that an Administration Fee has been charged.

9.3 We reserve the right to take legal action against you to enforce these Terms. If we have accepted your Order and you fail to make payment or provide personal information by the relevant deadline, we may be entitled to make a claim against you for reasonable compensation for the costs we have incurred or will incur as a result of you breaking your contract and we reserve the right to deduct such amounts from any refund payable to you.
9.4 If you do not pay any Administration Fee or other money due or provide any personal information required by the relevant deadline, in addition to our other legal rights and remedies, we may refuse to deal with you in the future until all such money due to us is paid or personal information required is supplied by you.
Delivery
10.1 The time for delivery will depend on whether we hold the Product(s) you have ordered in stock. We will normally dispatch Products within two working days of receipt of the full price of the Products in cleared funds and all paperwork required by us to process your Order where we have such Products in stock. We may be able to make certain Products available before this time, if requested by you, subject always to stock and market factors, but this may incur a premium price or stricter payment terms, which we will notify you of prior to placing your Order.
10.2 If you choose to pay by cheque, we usually provide for one week for UK cheques to clear and at least 8 working days for all other cheques to clear (although in some circumstances clearance can take weeks or months) before dispatching the Products, although we may, acting in our absolute discretion and where we hold the relevant Products in stock, reduce this period.
10.3 We try to ensure only Products that we hold in stock are shown as ‘in stock’ on our Website and in our systems, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our Website and our systems in this respect. If we do not have your Products in stock or if you have pre-ordered Products that have not yet been released, we will inform you of this and will deliver your Products as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the Products from our suppliers. Please be aware that we sometimes order Investment Products from our suppliers in bulk. This means that if we do not have the Investment Product(s) that you have ordered in stock, we may delay in ordering them from our suppliers until we have received a sufficient number of orders for the same Investment Products from other customers to enable us to place a bulk order. Where you have placed an Order for second hand Non-investment Products that we do not have in stock, we will be unable to supply the same to you until such Products become available on the market (if at all ). In each of these circumstances, there may be a substantial delay to the delivery of the Products you have ordered (in some cases exceeding six months). If we are unable to meet the standard dispatch times referred to in clause 10.1 and 10.2 or we consider that we may not be able to deliver your Products within 30 days of our acceptance of your Order, because they are out of stock, or due to any of the circumstances set out in this clause 10.3, or due to any Event Outside Our Control (as defined in clause 16.2), we will let you know as soon as possible (either when you place your Order or after this time using the contact details provided by you during the order process) and will provide as much information to you as is reasonably possible in respect of an estimated dispatch date.
10.4 Dispatch dates and any delivery dates provided are estimates only and time shall not be of the essence.
10.5 If you notify us that you wish to delay the delivery of your Products for any reason before they are dispatched, we may at our discretion (and without affecting clause 10.7) agree to store your Products for you but a storage fee may be payable, the amount of which may depend on the length of storage but we will inform you of such storage fee when you ask to delay delivery.
10.6 Where Products are delivered through Royal Mail where a signature is required upon delivery and you are not available to accept delivery, Royal Mail’s terms in respect of such delivery shall apply which may result in your Products being returned to your local Royal Mail sorting office and/or being returned to us upon failure to collect the Products within a specified time. If your Products are returned to us in these circumstances, you will be charged an additional delivery fee (at our standard delivery for that Product) for resending the Products to you.
10.7 The Products will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery. If you are a consumer, delivery will be completed when the Products come in to your physical possession or the physical possession of a person nominated by you to accept delivery on your behalf. If you are not a consumer, delivery will be completed when we deliver the Products to the delivery address provided by you.
10.8 If you have not received your Products by the estimated delivery date, please contact us to let us know immediately. If there is a problem with the delivery of your Products, we will provide you with a revised delivery date .
10.9 You will own the Products once you receive the confirmation of our acceptance of the Order, we have received the Products from our supplier, we have received payment in full in cleared funds and we have received all the documents required under clause 6.2 in respect of your Order .
10.10 Please note that deliveries are fully tracked and insured until signed for at delivery address which includes delivery to a neighbour, a safe place or a pickup point. If you are unsure, please re-arrange delivery for a more convenient time.
International Delivery
11.1 If you would like to order Products to be delivered to a destination outside of the United Kingdom, please contact us before placing your Order.
11.2 Certain countries do not allow money to be sent through their postal networks . We cannot accept liability for loss or damage to money Products sent to such International Delivery Destinations. If you are ordering money Products for delivery to an International Delivery Destination, please check whether the posting of your Products to that destination is permitted before placing your Order.
11.3 If you order Products for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your Order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination and/or may be subject to seizure by the relevant customs or other authorities if there are any restrictions on the import on the Products you have ordered and attempted to import into that International Delivery Destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount and we do not make any representations or guarantees in respect of whether you will be permitted to import the Products into any territory. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes and for determining whether any restrictions on import are in place and applicable. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your Order.
11.4 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.
Consumer right of return and refund
12.1 If you purchase Non-investment Products as a consumer through any of the methods set out in clause 6.1 and you reside in the EU, you have a legal right to cancel your Order (to the extent it relates to Non-investment Products only) during the period set out below in clause 12.2. This means that during the relevant period, if you change your mind, you can notify us that you wish to cancel your Order for Non-investment Products and receive a refund. This right only applies if you are a consumer based in the European Economic Area (EEA) who has purchased Non-investment Products. This right does not apply to purchases of Investment Products, any Products purchased by businesses, any Products purchased on our premises or any Products purchased by any person outside the EEA.
12.2 The period in which you may cancel your Order under clause 12.1 will expire at the end of fourteen (14) days after the day on which you acquire, or a third party indicated by you to accept delivery on your behalf (other than our nominated carrier through whom we deliver the Product to you) acquires, physical possession of the Non-investment Products. To exercise this cancellation right, you must inform us that you wish to cancel your Order. You can inform us of your decision to cancel your Order over the telephone on +44 (0)1253 343081, by post at Victoria Chambers 40 Wood Street, Wakefield, WF1 2HB ., England or by e-mailing us at info@Mayfairbullion.com You may also use the model cancellation form which is set out at the end of these Terms, but it is not obligatory.
12.3 If you have cancelled your Order for Non-investment Products, you will be responsible for the direct cost of returning the Non-investment Products to us (all such returns to be sent to us at Victoria Chambers 40 Wood Street, Wakefield, WF1 2HB . Our VAT number is GB 827522721
England) (unless you are returning the Products because they are faulty or not as described, in which case, clause 13 shall apply). Where you have cancelled your Order for any Non-investment Products, you must return such Non-investment Products within fourteen (14) days from the day on which you inform us that you wish to cancel your Order. We recommend that you return your Products by secure, recorded delivery and insure the Products for their full replacement value. Returned Products must not be altered, resized or tampered with in any manner.
12.4 If you exercise your right to cancel your Order for Non-investment Products in accordance with this clause 12, you will receive a full refund of the price you paid for the relevant Non-investment Products, including the delivery charges paid by you for delivering the Non-investment Products to you, except that if you chose a method of delivery which was more expensive than the standard delivery option offered by us for the relevant Product, you will only receive a refund of the amount of the standard delivery charge for that Product. We may reduce the amount of the refund to take account of any loss in value of the Products resulting from unnecessary handling of the Products by you. You are only liable for any diminished value of the Products resulting from handling the Products other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products.
12.5 We will provide refunds due under this clause 12 using the same method of payment that you used to pay for the Products, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. In any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the refund. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the Products back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the Products, whichever is the earliest.
12.6 We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case:
(a) within fourteen (14) days from the day we receive the relevant Products; or
(b) (if earlier) fourteen (14) days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the relevant Products; or
(c) if the Products had not yet been dispatched, fourteen (14) days after the day on which you inform us of your decision to cancel the Order in accordance with this clause 12.
Faulty Products
13.1 If we accept your Order and you are a consumer, we will be under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with your Order as accepted by us and these Terms. As a consumer, you will always have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by the returns policy in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
13.2 If you consider that any Product is faulty or misdescribed, please notify us immediately. You must return such Products to us as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with our reasonable instructions. You have a legal obligation to keep the Products in your possession and to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession.
