Should you fail to pay for your order as required pursuant to Section 4 hereof, we reserve the right to liquidate your order for market value at the time of such liquidation, in our sole discretion. We are under no obligation to take any steps or to refrain from taking any steps, in order to or in an attempt to maximize market value for your order and we take no responsibility for same. You remain responsible for the full value of your order as agreed to at the time such order was placed by you. This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, your responsibility to pay us the difference in value , in the event that the market value of your unpaid order is less than what you agreed to pay at the time of placing your order. The credit card information provided by you pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof will be used by us to charge you for any amounts owing to us pursuant to this Section 9.1.

If the market value of your unpaid order is greater than you had promised to pay for such order, any such gains remain our property.

9.2 Multiple Orders

Where you have placed more than one order with us and have paid for one or more of the order(s) but also fail to pay for one or more of such order(s) in accordance with Section 4 hereof, any shipment of the paid order(s) may be held at our discretion until payment in full is received in accordance with Section 4 for all orders and any applicable market loss. At our sole discretion, we may elect to apply the money received by us for your paid order(s) and/or the bullion product(s) comprising your paid order(s) against any payment(s) due and owing to us on account of your unpaid order(s). If, after exercise of any such election(s) by us, you still owe us any amount, we may, in our sole discretion, involuntarily liquidate any remaining bullion product(s) in the quantity required by us, acting reasonably, in order to ensure that we are paid in full for all your orders and the applicable market loss.

Where, after all your unpaid order(s) and applicable market loss are paid to us, any of your order(s) or portions thereof remain due and owing to you, you may elect to receive shipment of such order(s) or portions thereof so remaining, or to receive payment in the amount of the market value for same, refunded by cheque.

9.3 The determination of any loss or gain of value on all or part of your order for the purposes of this Section 9 is calculated as the difference between the price you agreed to pay for such bullion product(s) at the time your order was agreed to by us, and the market value of same obtained by us as at the time of liquidation pursuant to this Section 9.

9.4 Should you wish to reinstate your order(s) once involuntarily liquidation has occurred, contact Customer Support.  Your order(s) will be reinstated at original pricing, or current pricing, whichever is higher at the time of reinstatement. Reinstatement of your order(s) will waive applicable outstanding market loss.  You will be required to provide valid credit card details for this service, or to place any future order with GOLD STOCK in accordance with Section 6.1.

10. Shipping

10.1 Shipment Time

10.1.1 Within five (5) business days from when we receive payment in full for your order (unless the clearing time applicable to your method of payment exceeds five (5) business days, or your order is subject to exceptions), we will pack your order, subject to bullion product availability. From time to time, the shipment time of your order may be delayed for reason(s), including but not limited to, reductions in our inventory as a result of increased demand for certain bullion products and/or the reduced supply available to us of same. We will endeavour to update our website with any delays applicable to particular bullion product as may arise from time to time. When a product or order is subject to a delayed shipping time, this information will be included on our website and your order confirmation email.

10.1.2 If we are unable to comply with the shipment time provided to you under Section 10.1.1 hereof, we will endeavour to notify you of same as soon as reasonably possible. Upon receipt of such notice, you may elect to:

(1) accept the new shipment time provided by us, which new time shall not exceed an additional thirty (30) days; or
(2) request that we buy-back your order pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

10.1.3 If we are unable to ship your order within the new shipment time estimated under Section 10.1. 2(1) hereof, then after this new time has passed, we will buy-back your bullion order pursuant to Section 8 hereof and remit payment to you for the value of:

(1) the voluntary liquidation; or
(2) your payment for your order, including any shipping fees paid by you, whichever is greater.

10.1.4 If we are unable to ship your order in accordance with Section 10.1.1, then you are eligible for a CA$10 coupon which can be used towards future orders. Call in or email to claim this coupon. Orders with exceptions and/or delayed shipping times are excluded from this offer.

10.2 Credit for late receipt (where applicable only)

At our sole discretion we may issue you a coupon for the cost of shipping if your package is late. The determination of whether a package is late is at the discretion of the relevant carrier. Any coupons issued hereunder shall be in a form and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by us in our sole discretion.

10.3 Shipping Method

We reserve the right to substitute a different shipping method other than that which you selected on you order.  Where the actual shipping method costs less than the method of shipping you had selected we will issue you a coupon for use with us and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by us in our sole discretion.

10.4 Shipping Options

We will insure the full value of your shipment to the address provided when your order was placed, or to a address accepted by PayPal.
