Terms & Conditions

If you have any questions about our Terms and Conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us at (424) 244-3833 or via e-mail: info@vaultbox.com. 

1. Contract; Arbitration. VaultBox is a direct sale merchant of rare coins, bullion and other related products (hereafter referred to as “items” or “coins”). Purchasing items at VaultBox and/or access of the Website (defined as all websites owned by VaultBox, including VaultBox.com, value.vaultbox.com and any other subdomains) constitutes acceptance by you (hereafter referred to as “Buyer” or “You”) of all Terms and Conditions stated herein. This agreement is subject to Arbitration as set forward in paragraph 23 below.
2. NGC Grading. All coins have been graded and certified by NGC. VaultBox is not responsible for the grades assigned and makes no warranty or representation regarding such grades. 
3. Limited Edition Labels. Buyer acknowledges that they will receive three NGCx-graded items bearing limited edition VaultBox labels, but that which specific three coins will vary by box. 
4. Instant Offer Guaranty. VaultBox guarantees it will make an instant offer to purchase any VaultBox coins at any time, provided they are still in their original VaultBox holders. Bid prices are subject to market fluctuations and are not guaranteed to be greater than or equal to the original sale price. Visit value.vaultbox.com for instant offers on any coin bearing a VaultBox label, and for instructions to contact and accept any current bid for a VaultBox coin. Due to market fluctuations, VaultBox coins must be shipped to VaultBox per instructions no later than four (4) days after committing to an Instant Offer and VaultBox will pay within ten (10) business days of receiving the coins. The VaultBox Instant Offer Guaranty is transferrable to future owners of VaultBox coins. 
5. Boxing Process. The boxes are packaged at NGC following a system to ensure that each box has a coin from each of the value-range groups of coins. The system is designed so that there may be different types and price points of coins within the groups, but no box will contain only the lowest value coins. The boxes are sealed at NGC and aren’t numbered individually before sending to VaultBox where the orders are filled. Buyer acknowledges that no one at NGC or VaultBox will know which customer is receiving which specific coins. The coins in Series 1 are listed in Appendix A attached to these Terms and Conditions.  
6. Value. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the purchase price of each VaultBox is in consideration for three coins bearing the limited edition VaultBox labels which indicate that VaultBox guarantees to always offer a buy back bid (the Instant Offer Guaranty), and that the coins are graded according to the new NGCx grading system. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that there is substantial value in both the limited edition NGCX-graded VaultBox coins and the Instant Offer Guaranty. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the value of these limited edition VaultBox coins exceeds the market price for the coins themselves. 
7. Shipping. Items will be shipped to the address on file, which you need to confirm when paying online after each invoice. VaultBox reserves the right to not ship purchased items until payment for the items and any other outstanding balance owed to VaultBox, including other invoices, attorneys’ fees, collection costs and interest, is made in full. VaultBox retains the right to ship using a variety of shipping companies and you may be required to sign for your package. Because VaultBox itself does not know the specific contents of each box, VaultBox will self-insure each box in the amount of the purchase price of the box, for loss, theft or damage of coins during shipment. VaultBox makes no warranty or representation regarding the adequacy of insurance coverage it provides which is solely as an accommodation to the parties. Any claim by Buyer for loss or damage (1) shall be limited to the purchase price of the box paid by the Buyer, and (2) must be made in writing to VaultBox no later than thirty (30) days from the VaultBox ship date. In the event of a claim, Buyer must comply with all information requests and requirements from VaultBox, including but not limited to, returning damaged boxes to VaultBox.
8. Sales Tax. California residents will be charged sales tax. Please note that the purchase of coins and/or bullion with a price in excess of One Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) is exempt from California sales tax. This $1,500.00 rule only applies to coins appearing on the same invoice and does not apply to catalogs, numismatic accessories or membership fees. Residents of states other than California should consult their tax advisor as to the applicability of sales and use tax in their states. International Clients: Duties may be assessed by your country’s customs office and are the sole responsibility of the Buyer. 
9. Payment. Payments are due at time of purchase. We welcome payment by eCheck, wire, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Payment by credit card can carry a service fee of 0%. VaultBox engages a third party to insure against fraudulent chargebacks. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that VaultBox may engage a third party to collect customer data for purposes of insuring against chargebacks, customer analytics and future marketing. 
10. Non-Payment. In the event the Buyer/Buyer fails to make payment when due, including but not limited to in the form of a chargeback, VaultBox reserves the right to rescind the sale or to resell the items. Buyer agrees to pay for all costs associated with reselling the items. Any shortfall will become immediately due to VaultBox by Buyer, together with any attorney costs, collection fees and interest. Interest on the shortfall and/or unpaid purchase price shall accrue at the rate of 1.5% per month, compounded monthly, until VaultBox is paid in full the invoice and/or shortfall, attorney costs, collection fees and interest (unless this rate exceeds the maximum permissible by law, in which case any amount paid in excess will be applied to the principal). 
11. Personal Guarantee. Buyers personally and unconditionally guarantee all payments that are or become owed to VaultBox. To the extent that the Buyer for any item(s) or invoice(s) consists of more than one person or entity, each such person or entity is jointly and severally liable for all obligations of the Buyer, regardless of the title or capacity of such person or entity. VaultBox reserves the right to assign its interest to any third party.
12. NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS MADE IN RESPECT TO ANY ITEM EXCEPT FOR WARRANTY OF TITLE. ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. PURCHASER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKSCONCERNING AND RELATED TO THE GRADING, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, CONDITION, AUTHENTICITY, AND PROVENANCEOF AN ITEM. 
13. Buyer acknowledges that the rare coin market is speculative, volatile and unregulated, and that coin prices may rise or fall over time. VaultBox does not offer investment advice and does not guarantee that items will be able to be sold for a profit in the future. VaultBox does not itemize the purchase price of each of the 3 VaultBox coins within the total purchase price for each box. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the purchase price paid is for the box as a whole and not the three individual coins. VaultBox does not guarantee that it’s instant offers for any given coin will equal or exceed any itemized portion of the VaultBox purchase price.  VaultBox does not guarantee that it’s instant offers for any given coin will equal or exceed the value of said coin at the time of purchase of a VaultBox box.
