1. Purchase, Sales, and Order Policies and Procedures.

You may make purchases, sell to, and order from National Precious Metals Exchange only in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and accompanying policies and procedures.

Upon placing an order to purchase or sell with National Precious Metals Exchange, you have entered into a binding and legally enforceable agreement.  Product 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.  In order to reserve your guaranteed price, your payment must be received by National Precious Metals Exchange within one (1) business day for bank wire orders.  All check orders must be postmarked for delivery within one (1) business day.  Checks are expected to arrive within five (5) business days. If a check payment is not received in its entirety within ten (10) calendar days of the original order, the order will be cancelled, a $35.00 administrative fee will be assessed, in addition to any market losses between the order date and time of cancellation due to non-payment.

A completed order is denoted by our receipt of funds in our bank account (wire) or clearance of payment (check).  In most cases, orders will be denied if payment is completed after the allotted time frame. If we do choose to accept late payment, a $35 late payment fee will be applied.

If any order is in error, due to National Precious Metals Exchanges fault or otherwise, we reserve the right to cancel the order.

When selling to National Precious Metals Exchange the price is guaranteed.  As a general policy, the transaction may not be cancelled but may be offset at National Precious Metals Exchanges current purchase price.  Sales to National Precious Metals Exchange must be shipped within one (1) business day and you must contact NPMEX via email at contactnpmex@gmail.com or telephone at 1-303-500-5159 to provide a tracking number so that we can confirm that the product is en route.  All products must be received by NPMEX within five (5) business days, else the customer will be charged any Market Losses as well as a $35 administrative fee. If NPMEX does not receive the product within five (5) business days but the delay is attributable to the carrier, NPMEX may extend the deadline, at its sole and absolute discretion.

Any Market Loss, administrative, or late payment fees incurred on orders from National Precious Metals Exchange must be paid before any new orders will be accepted. NPMEX reserves the right to attempt to collect the fees by any means allowed by law. The same fees incurred on sales to NPMEX will be deducted from the payment funds.

Without limiting any other legal or equitable rights and remedies that may be available to National Precious Metals Exchange, in the event of any failure by you to comply with these Terms and Conditions, NPMEX 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 or electronic check fraud. We may, in our discretion, require further authorization from you such as a telephone confirmation of your order and other information. 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, to the credit card company or bank for fraud investigation.  We reserve the right to cooperate with authorities to prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law.

2. Payment Options

National Precious Metals Exchange requires that all payments be made via credit card, debit card, bank wire, personal check, or electronic check (ACH). Depending upon the amount of an order, NPMEX reserves the right to request additional documentation for certain credit card orders. NPMEX also reserves the right to hold personal checks and ACH payments for up to ten (10) banking days prior to shipping. In cases of suspected fraud, personal checks and ACH may be held up to 45 calendar days, although this is rare. Direct bank wire is always recommended for orders over $3000 as it gets you cash pricing and fast shipping. Electronic and personal checks are also considered a cash payment with regard to pricing but your order will be held until funds are confirmed. By choosing to pay with a credit or debit card, you expressly authorize NPMEX to authorize and capture your credit card payment prior to shipment.

NPMEX 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 bounced paper check payment, NPMEX reserves the right to cancel the order and charge administrative fees and market losses.

3. Payment Instructions

National Precious Metals Exchange will issue payment instructions to you during the ordering process and via email following completion of your order. NPMEX does not accept Cash on Delivery orders, only in store pickup.  NPMEX reserves the right to cancel orders where payment is not dated within one (1) business days for bank wire orders or one (1) business day for paper check orders. In such cases, a $35 administrative fee and any applicable Market Losses will be assessed.

4. Cancellation Policy

Once you have placed an order with National Precious Metals Exchange 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 (product sold back to NPMEX) at NPMEXs current Bid Price (Bid Price) on the day that we receive your written request for such an offsetting transaction. Credit/debit card orders may not be offset 24+ hours following the time of order creation.

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

Offsetting orders may be approved over telephone or email, at which time NPMEX shall provide you with a cancellation confirmation and the total Market Losses and fees.  Offsetting orders are subject to our market loss policy, described below, plus a $35.00 (USD) administrative fee. As applicable, the difference between the Purchase Price and the Bid Price will be added to the $35.00 (USD) administrative fee.  In the event of a confirmed cancelled order, you expressly authorize NPMEX to automatically bill the credit or debit card on file for the difference between the Purchase Price and the Bid Price, plus the $35.00 (USD) administrative fee.  Alternatively, in the event that your credit or debit card is denied or is not on file, National Precious Metals Exchange 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 National Precious Metals Exchange.

For cancelled/offsetting orders, $35.00, plus the difference between the Purchase Price and the Bid Price will be charged.

After National Precious Metals Exchange 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 $35 cancellation fee.

National Precious Metals Exchange 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 NPMEX deems questionable or suspicious, for orders NPMEX deems to be a significant risk, when the confirmed price is incorrect for any reason, for abrupt movements in the precious metals market, and/or when NPMEX does not receive payment within the allotted timeframe.

National Precious Metals Exchange 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 NPMEX will contact you directly with notification of the cancellation.

5. Return Policy

National Precious Metals Exchanges refund, return and exchange policy is limited to five (5) business days from the date that you receive the item.  You must notify NPMEXs Customer Service Department via telephone at 1-303-500-5159 within five (5) business days from the date that you receive the item and follow the instructions provided to you, at that time.  Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.  You are fully responsible for all taxes, as well as return shipping and handling costs.  NPMEX may reject any returned or exchanged item that does not reasonably conform to these terms.  In the case of a request for an exchange, NPMEX expressly reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to find an acceptable replacement or refund your money should an acceptable replacement be unavailable.  Returns, refunds and exchanges are subject to NPMEX’s Market Loss Policy as well as a standard $35 cancellation fee. Any and all market gains on refunds, returns, and exchanges shall belong solely to NPMEX.

6. National Precious Metals Exchange Market Loss Policy

Upon issuance of an order number following a purchase from National Precious Metals Exchange, the price is guaranteed and you may not cancel the transaction.  The transaction may only be offset at NPMEXs current bid price.  If your item is cancelled, you are responsible for any deficit between the price at which NPMEX sold the item to you and the offsetting purchase price.  As set forth above, all cancellations are subject to our market loss policy, in addition to a $35.00 (USD) administrative fee.  Market gains on cancellations or returns shall remain the property of NPMEX.

Without limiting any other legal or equitable rights and remedies that may be available to National Precious Metals Exchange, NPMEX 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 NPMEX may have to you.  NPMEX 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 NPMEX.

7. Shipment

Most credit card orders are shipped within one business day. Paper check orders are generally shipped within 5-7 days of the funds clearing our bank account. In extreme circumstances shipment may take up to thirty (30) days from completed payment, depending upon the manner of delivery. Each package over $500 requires a signature upon delivery. National Precious Metals Exchange fully insures all of its shipments to the point of delivery.  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, NPMEX 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.

Please note that National Precious Metals Exchange 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 NPMEX may have to refute any claims.

A more detailed description of NPMEXs shipping and insurance policies can be found HERE.
