REGULATORY DECLARATIONS:
We adhere to AML/FINTRAC regulations as they pertain to transacting in precious metals and other monetary instruments. As such, verifiable client information and sales records are required and will be retained.
Art in Coins may only transact with directly registered and verified account holding customers. We are not permitted to ship to third parties in respect of Canadian and US anti-money laundering, racketeering and terrorism funding legislation.
BULLION & SOVEREIGN PRICING:
Our business model does not employ live spot market pricing for "Bullion" or "Sovereign" products due to limited resources available for the hedging activity that live market pricing requires.
For these products, we employ a "fire and forget" strategy. We add a small dealer margin to our cost and once listed, the price for these items is not actively managed.
Whereas, our prices can be higher (or lower) than other dealers depending on market conditions.
ORDER CANCELLATIONS:
We will accommodate any request for cancellation as long as your order has not already shipped. Contact us with your order information and we will cancel the transaction. For any received payments, we will refund immediately, no fuss, no fees and no hard feelings.
Once an order has shipped, it is subject to our regular return policy and conditions.
Discount codes cannot be combined with any other offers, promotions or clearance items and are single use in nature unless otherwise specified by Art in Coins.
Art in Coins gift cards are delivered by email and are immediately transferable. Our gift cards never expire or lose value over time. Gift cards cannot be combined with any other offers or promotions and are only redeemable on purchases through our retail website www.artincoins.com

PRE & SPECIAL ORDER ITEMS:
Items are available for purchase, but will not ship to the customer until we have received them from the mint. Regular payment and refund terms apply. We will provide the best time frame for when these orders ship, based on manufacturer estimates. Orders that contain both in-stock and pre-order items will ship only when all items become available.

Due to the volatile market pricing of precious metals, Art in Coins does not accept returns on "Bullion" or "Sovereign" products and as such, all sales are final.
All sales are final for both clearance and special order items.
