Superior Gold Group Contract   7.5pt. to 12pt. Printer Ready

1. Delivery of Purchased Item(s). Upon receipt and confirmation of good funds in full payment of the purchase price Superior Gold Group, LLC (Superior) shall cause Customers order to be shipped within thirty one (31) business days after receipt of funds. This includes orders funded by check, bank wire, credit card, or certified check/money order. 

2. Lost or Items Not Received. Upon any notification by Customer and verification to Superior that the purchased item(s) forwarded to Customer have been lost, Superior in its sole discretion, shall, within ninety days of such notification, either refund to Customer the full purchase price for such lost item(s) or replace such item(s) with another item or items identical to the lost item(s). If the items are stolen, it is the responsibility of customer to immediately report the items stolen to their local authorities, and immediately file a claim with the insurance carrier. 

3. Holding Period. Rare Coins and bullion should be considered a long-term investment. Customer should be prepared to hold any item purchased for at least a three to five year period and preferably five to ten years to maximize the potential for gains. Customer should only invest capital that can be held for at least this period of time.  However, Superior makes no guarantee or representation that Customer will make a profit at the expiration of such period of time. In no event should Customer invest more in excess of twenty percent of Customer’s available investment capital in rare coins and bullion. Customer acknowledges that Superior renders no investment advice. 

4. Customers Financial Objectives and Financial Situation. Customer acknowledges that the decision to purchase coins, and which coins to purchase, is ultimately the Customer’s alone. Customer acknowledges that no fiduciary relationship exists between Superior and Customer. Superior does not guarantee the profitability of any purchase nor does Superior guarantee that any purchaser will be able to sell their coins for a profit in the future. Superior does not provide tax, investment, or legal advisory services and no one associated with Superior is authorized to render any such advice. Any written or oral statements by Superior, its principals, agents, independent contractors or representatives relating to future events are opinions only, and are not representations of fact. Superior is not liable for any damages either directly or indirectly arising from Customer’s purchase. Superior does not make any express or implied warranties as to the grade or description of item(s) purchased. 

5. Additional Services. Superior may from time to time provide additional services to Customer. The form of these services may vary. Such forms include reports, alerts, market evaluations and prospects. These services may be rendered via personnel from Superior or via Superior’s website. Customer’s use or reliance on these additional services is taken at the own risk and discretion of Customer. No additional warranties or guaranties are made by Superior with regard to these additional services. 

6. Authority of Agents of Superior. No agent, employee, or representative has the authority to bind Superior in any way to any affirmation, representation, or warranty concerning any item purchased under this Agreement, or any information provided electronically to Customer. Furthermore, any affirmation, representation, or warranty made by an agent, employee, or representative of Superior shall have no binding or legal effect accept for that which is specifically included within this written Agreement. 

7. Purchase Price.  

A. Bullion. The price for bullion (coins and bars that move identically with the gold and silver spot price) includes a spread that currently averages between two and ten percent. Example: If the ask/sell price of a gold coin is four hundred dollars ($400) with a four percent spread (4%), then Superior’s current market cost of the metal would be three hundred eighty-four dollars. Currently the baseline average is ten percent (10%). 

B.  Semi-Numismatic and Numismatic Coins. The spread for semi-numismatic and numismatic coins (“Rare Coins”) is between seventeen (17%) and one hundred percent (100%). Example: If the ask/sell price is four hundred dollars with a twenty-nine percent spread, then Superior’s current market cost of the coin would be three hundred and ten dollars. Spreads may, and do fluctuate as market conditions change. Currently the baseline average is estimated at twenty nine percent (29%). 

C.  Coins / Proof Bullion placed in an individual retirement account (“IRA”) will carry a seventeen to thirty-four percent spread. All quotes are given as an “ask” price. Currently the baseline average is estimated at twenty nine percent (29%). Due to the market availability/volatility it may take several months to transfer to your custodial account. The price as contracted in the agreement will remain locked until delivery of the purchased coins/proof bullion. It may take several months for delivery of purchase to reach the depository. Regardless of when delivery takes place, the agreement remains in force as to all terms. 

8. Arbitration. Any and all controversies arising from or related to transactions between a purchaser, an agent of purchaser, a party acting on behalf of purchaser, and purchaser’s successors and/or assigns and Superior shall be resolved by mandatory binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in Los Angeles, California and adjudicated under the laws of the State of California . To the extent not inconsistent with the Rules, service of process on purchaser’s residence or domiciled outside the State of California may be made by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrator shall be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

a.  Nature and Composition of Arbitration Panel. Such arbitration shall be conducted before the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The selection of Arbitrators shall be conducted in accordance with the rules set forth by AAA for selecting a three person arbitration panel. 

b.  Confidentiality. Any dispute, testimony, documents produced and outcome of the arbitration shall remain confidential. Any breach of this confidentiality agreement shall entitle the non-breaching party to be entitled to injunctive relief and/or compensatory damages from any court having competent jurisdiction or the arbitration panel. 

c.  Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. In agreeing to arbitrate, the parties understand and agree that they are both waiving their rights to a jury trial, or a trial before a judge in a public court. This waiver is for any and all causes of action or disputes arising from this agreement. 

d.  Authority of Arbitrators. The arbitrators shall have the authority to award compensatory damages, equitable relief, liquidated damages, pre-award interest, and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. The arbitrators shall not have the authority to award punitive damages. 

e.  Enforcing Arbitration. In the event a party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitrators’ award, or fails to comply with the arbitrators’ award, the other party is entitled to costs of suits including reasonable attorney’s fees in order to compel arbitration or defend or enforce an award. 

f.  Inapplicability of Arbitration Clause. IF FOR ANY REASON THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE BECOMES INAPPLICABLE, THEN EACH PARTY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY  IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER MATTER INVOLVING THE PARTIES HERETO. 

9.  The laws of the State of California shall govern any and all transactions and any and all disputes between Superior and its purchasers. 

10.  JURISDICTION. YOU EXPLICITLY CONSENT AND AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE SHALL BE IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA UNDER ANY AND ALL CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO ANY AND ALL TYPES OF DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR USE OF THIS PRODUCT, INTERACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND SUPERIOR, OR OTHERWISE. 

11.  DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT, AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY,CONTRACT, TORT,OR OTHERWISE, SHALL SUPERIOR OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF PROFITS, WAGES OR BUSINESS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 

12.  INDEMNITY TO SUPERIOR. CUSTOMER AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS SUPERIOR FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION TO ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM: ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE PRODUCT WHETHER SOLD, PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE; AND THE USE OF THE PRODUCT BY CUSTOMER OR BY THOSE WHO HAVE ACCESS TO CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT IN A MANNER CONTRARY TO ANY LAW OR REGULATION, OR HARMFUL IN ANY WAY TO SUPERIOR OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES. 

13.  Web Transactions. Neither Superior or any independent provider/transmitter shall be liable in any way and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Superior and the independent providers/transmitters for (1) any inaccuracy, error, or delay in, or omission of  (a) any information, or  (b) the transmission or delivery of information; (2) (a) any loss or damage arising from or occasioned by any such inaccuracy, error, delay or omission, (b) non-performance, (c) interruption of Information due either to any negligent act omission by Superior providers/transmitters of information or to any “force majeure” (i.e.: flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake, or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident, action of the government, communications, power failure, or equipment or software malfunction) or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Superior or the Information providers/transmitters. 

14. Volatility of Market. The success of an investment in coins is dependent, in part, upon extrinsic economic forces including supply, demand, international monetary conditions and inflation or the expectation of inflation. The impact of these forces on the values of coins cannot be predicted with any certainty. Customer acknowledges

that the coin market can be volatile and that coin prices may rise or fall over time and that past performance is no indication of future performance. Moreover, rare coins are not suitable investments for anyone seeking current income. Superior shall not be liable for loss caused directly or indirectly by an exchange or market ruling,

government restriction, or any “force majeure” ” (i.e.: flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake, or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute,  accident, action of the government, communications, power failure, or equipment or software malfunction) or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Superior. 

15. Remedy for Customer’s Refusal to Perform. In the event that Customer refuses to accept delivery of the purchased item(s) or fails to make payment when due, Superior, in its sole discretion, may cancel the transaction and resell such item(s) on a wholesale basis. If the amount received by Superior upon any such resale shall be less than the contract price with Customer, Superior shall be entitled to recover from Customer the difference between the resale price and Customer’s contract price, together with any incidental damages occasioned by Customer’s breach. If the amount received by Superior upon any such resale shall be in excess of the contract price with Customer, such excess amounts shall inure solely to the benefit of Superior and Customer shall not be entitled to share in any such excess amounts. There will also be a 6% restocking fee placed on all cancelled transactions.  

16. Retirement Accounts: Superior has made every effort to comply with current federal laws in connection with Coins, which are placed in an IRA. However, Superior expressly disclaims any responsibility or obligation for any tax impact to Customer as a result of future Internal Revenue Code regulations or interpretations of current law. Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that Customer has been advised to seek independent tax advice and that Superior has made no representations regarding the tax impact of Coins held as an investment in an IRA.  

17. Credit Card Purchases. Credit card purchases are only available for numismatic and semi-numismatic coins, not bullion. All credit card purchases are final and the purchased items may not be returned except pursuant to the provisions of Section 20 herein. Coins purchased with a credit card shall only be deliverable after thirty-one (31) days. This delivery of goods will only occur once the good funds have been distributed and verified within Superior’s account. Said coins will not be sent to purchaser until this occurs.  

18. Fees. Fee rates are subject to negotiation, and any fee charged to Customer in a specific transaction may be more or less than fees charges to or by others in similar transactions or charged to Customer in prior transactions. 

NOTE: Superior applies a five percent (5%) Transaction and Processing fee on all purchases, for both cash and IRA purchases. The 5% is of the total purchase price. This fee encompasses all the transaction costs (shipping, packaging, etc.) as well as the processing of the transaction (e.g. coordination between custodians). This is a mandatory fee, and will be automatically applied to every purchase. The transaction fee will be deducted from the total amount forwarded to Superior. The remaining balance will reflect the total amount of  precious metals purchased, coupled with the ask/bid price. The detail of these fees are outlined in a separate invoice, which this agreement incorporates herein by reference.  

19. Buy-Back of Purchased Item(s). Superior is a buyer of Rare Coins and bullion at the prevailing current market value. If Customer wishes to sell such items in the future, Superior encourages Customer to offer them to Superior first. The law prohibits Superior from guaranteeing to repurchase the coins we sell. However, Superior has always made buy/sell markets in the coins we offer at the highest posted bid price on the electronic exchange. Therefore, our buy-back policy is not a guarantee and is subject to change without notice. Any risk of loss from all hazards shall be borne by Customer until any item(s) purchased by Superior are actually received by Superior.  

20. Refund Policy. A. No Refunds Except as to Counterfeit Coin(s). Superior shall not be obliged to accept returns of any coin(s) for refund other than counterfeit coins returned in their original holders within one year of purchase. In such event, Superior’s liability to Customer shall be limited to refund of the purchase price or replacement of the coin(s) in Question. Superior expressly disclaims any further liability to Customer, including any liability for lost profits or consequential damages. In no event will Superior be liable for a replacement or refund of the purchase price for any coin purchased by Customer if more than one year has elapsed since the date of purchase regardless of when Customer became aware of the claim.  

B. Replacement of Numismatic Coin(s). Any Numismatic Coin may be replaced with any other Numismatic Coin of equal or greater value for any reason whatsoever within fifteen days of receipt of the Numismatic Coin by Customer; provided that the returned Numismatic Coin has not been removed from its original holder and is returned in the same condition as when it was shipped by Superior.  

C. Bullion:  ALL BULLION TRANSACTIONS ARE FINAL; UNLESS THE ITEM HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE FALSE BY A COMPETENT AUTHORITY.  

21. Disclaimer of Express Warranties.  Superior warrants that the nature and precious metals’ content of the purchased item(s) are as described and are genuine, but noother express warranty is made in respect to any purchased item(s). Grades and descriptions of rare coins are opinions, not statements of fact or guarantees, and are based on standards and interpretations that can and do change over time. Superior uses contemporary grading standards and interpretations to grade coins, or relies upon the opinions of independent grading services such as the Professional Coin Grading Service, Inc., Numismatic Guaranty Corporation of America and ANACS. Superior does not guarantee that the coins it sells will achieve the same grades from Superior itself or from any independent grading service in the future.  

22. Disclaimer of Implied Warranties.  SUPERIOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COINS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  

23. Authority of Agents of Superior. No agent, employee, or representative of Superior has any authority to bind Superior to any affirmation, representation, or warranty concerning any item(s) purchased under this Agreement, and unless an affirmation, representation, or warranty made by an agent, employee, or representative is specifically included within this written Agreement, it shall not in any way be enforceable.  

24. Application to Future Transactions. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any additional transactions between the Parties of the kind contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  

25. Persons over the age of 65. A person over the age of 65 who signs this Agreement, and completes this transaction verifies the following:   (1) they are of sound mind,  (2) the agent of Superior provided them with relevant information to conduct the transaction, (3) they were not unduly persuaded or burdened to consummate this Agreement,  (4) they raised any and all questions or objections that could have prevented them from consummating this Agreement, and  (5) they were given every opportunity to seek assistance in negotiating the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  

26. Bankruptcy. Should a purchaser file for Bankruptcy during or after the transaction, while obligations under this Agreement are still outstanding, the Federal Bankruptcy laws shall not apply to this Agreement. All obligations under this Agreement must be completed, or the Agreement will be deemed breached, and the purchaser subject to the full enforcement of the law and damages associated with that breach.  

26. Finality of this Writing. This Agreement is intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement concerning the matters contained herein, and is also intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement. This Agreement supersedes any oral or written statement prior to or contemporaneous with this transaction by Superior. Customer shall not rely on any statement by or on behalf of Superior, which is inconsistent with this Agreement.  

27. Governing Law: Severability. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable to any extent, that provision shall, if possible, be construed as though more narrowly drawn, if a narrower construction would avoid such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability or, if that is not possible, such provision shall, to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, be severed, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.  

28. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable to any extent, that portion shall, if possible, be construed as more narrowly drawn, if a narrower construction would avoid such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, or, if that is not possible, such provision shall, to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, be severed, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

This Agreement and the agreements appended hereto or executed in connection with this agreement may be signed and transmitted via facsimile, and any copy with a facsimile signature will be deemed a valid signature hereto or thereto and shall remain binding on the parties as if it were an original signature.  

30. Disputes and Disagreements. Superior goes through great efforts to satisfy each and every client. Therefore, if any disputes arise as to the service received from Superior, the purchaser/client must first raise such disagreement or dispute to Superior before seeking redress or grievance from a third party or agency. If Superior does not rectify or satisfy purchaser/client’s concerns within twenty-one days, then purchaser/client may then proceed with the matter outside of Superior’s normal business practices.
