5.1 Purchases that are concluded due to direct marketing (Where we contact you directly via email) are regulated both by the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 and the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (“CPA”). The Scoin Shop and The South African Gold Coin Exchange have a strict no cash refund policy as the advertised prices of all products fluctuate from day to day due to their intrinsic gold/silver value which is directly linked to the gold/silver price.

6. Trade
6.1 Although the Seller attempts to act as a market maker in respect of coins and medallions which it sells, the ability of the Seller to sell coins and medallions will be determined by the specific market conditions
prevailing at the time of the proposed trade exchange. This also includes, but not limited to, supply and demand, gold price, exchange rate, and the need for the Seller to obtain a sufficient margin to cover its own costs in reselling such Goods that may be bought back.
6.2 The sale of Goods back to the Seller will only be accepted by the Seller with the Seller’s prior written agreement and then only at the Seller’s sole discretion, and at such a price that the Seller at their sole discretion will determine and agree with the Buyer. Any such Goods accepted for trade exchange shall be returned at the Buyer’s cost and risk, with the Seller’s BAN (trade exchange authority number) and shall be subject to inspection by the Seller, who shall notify the Buyer if the purchase has been accepted or not.

7.1 Pre-order products (being products the Buyer can order in advance of their public release date) will be handled separately, and will be shipped or made available for collection when ready. The Seller shall take reasonable steps to deliver the goods within the said period. Delivery of pre-order products will be subject to the terms and conditions set out in clause 2, 3 and 4 of these terms and conditions. Delivery dates of pre-ordered products are not guaranteed and the Seller will not be held liable for pre-ordered products not delivered on the indicative dates.

You hereby acknowledge that you understand that you are using the information herein as your own risk.
9. Krugerrand V Collectable Coin Prices
9.1 A Krugerrand’s value is linked to the gold price whilst the value of medallions and rare coins are determined by the precious metal component, the rarity of the coin and the market interest in that particular coin/medallion at any given point in time. Although all products are a long-term wealth preserve venture, rare coins require a longer period to yield the best results. The purchaser hereby acknowledges that they understand the difference between the various product prices.
