4. The Gold Calculator

The Gold Calculator feature is for the user's convenience and shall only be treated as displaying an approximate price of the gold, providing that the information given is accurate (based upon current market gold value on the day of use, and not necessarily the price of gold on the day we receive your goods). The Gold Calculator's generated price shall not be treated, therefore, as a binding offer which the user accepts by sending the goods.

5. Delivery, Receipt and Return of your Goods

On receipt of your gold package, CashForYourGold.co.uk will confirm receipt by e-mail. Packages sent to us by Royal Mail Special Delivery can also be tracked online at www.royalmail.com.

CashForYourGold.co.uk reserves the right, at its sole discretion to reject delivery of any mail, envelope or package which appears to be damaged, opened or tampered with and any such mail, envelope or package will be returned by the carrier to the customer. CashForYourGold.co.uk shall have no liability to any customer for any such attempted delivery or return of any such items.

CashForYourGold.co.uk reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to apply a charge for postage and packaging of items returned to the user, particularly the return of items found not to be made of gold. If a non-gold item is found in a consignment, we reserve the right to deduct the cost of the return of the invalid item from the purchase price of the remainder of the consignment.

Gold and Platinum products bought by CashForYourGold.co.uk are melted down at the close of business on the day that they are purchased. Therefore, once a Gold or Platinum product has been sold to CashForYourGold.co.uk, it is not physically possible to reverse a transaction.

6. Mixed Carat Consignments

7. Gold Plated and Non Gold Items

Please note that whilst we are prepared to purchase gold which is not hallmarked we reserve the right to make a reasonable charge for time spent testing items which are found to be Gold Plated or not to contain gold. (Max £30)

8. Gemstones in your Consignment

CashForYourGold.co.uk do not buy gemstones. Any gemstones within items of gold received will not be returned as removal of such stones is time consuming and in most cases the labour charges generated would far outweigh the small profit margin that we may have in the item of gold. We recommend that, if a stone is of sentimental value, you remove it before sending the item to us.

9. Our Offer to Purchase

Once your items have been tested and valued CashForYourGold.co.uk will contact you either by telephone or e-mail to make our offer to purchase your gold. This offer is based upon the market price of gold on the day on which CashForYourGold.co.uk receives the goods and is subject to the expertise of our valuation department. CashForYourGold.co.uk guarantees the offer agreed with the user for 24 hours thereafter, regardless of any gold market price fluctuations.

If our offer is not accepted within 24 hours, then CashForYourGold.co.uk reserves the right to re-evaluate the offer based on any fluctuations in world gold prices.

If you choose to refuse our offer to purchase, CashForYourGold.co.uk will return your consignment to you by Royal Mail Special Delivery. In such circumstances CashForYourGold.co.uk reserves the right, at its absolute discretion, to charge the user for postage and packing of the returned consignment (Max £15) and also at it's discretion to impose a fee to offset the cost to us of time spent testing the consignment (Max £30).
