THE DISTANCE SELLING ACT
The service Purchase of Precious Metals is not covered by the provisions on the right of withdrawal in the law (2005:59) on distance and off-premises contracts (the Distance Selling Act), as the price list applied by Tavex at any given time depends on such market fluctuations that Tavex cannot influence and which may occur during the withdrawal period.
PRICES AND FEES
When purchasing precious metals online, Tavex applies the current precious metal prices and the fees stated in Tavex’s current price list at any given time.
BANK DAY AND TIME OF RECEIPT OF ORDER
By “bank day,” a day is meant when Tavex is open for business to the extent required for carrying out a payment transaction. If the time of the online product order is not a bank day, the order is considered to have been received by Tavex on the following bank day. Unless otherwise stated in the terms, Tavex uses a cutoff time at 3:00 PM every bank day, meaning that an order received from the Customer after the cutoff time is considered to have been received the following bank day.
PAYMENT INSTRUMENTS
The use of Tavex’s service Purchase of Precious Metals online requires that the Customer pays with a debit or credit card, via Trustly, or via bank transfer.
TIME OF TRANSACTION
The time of transaction is the point in time when the Customer approves a payment on the Website, and Tavex has the right to charge the Customer.
ORDER AND PAYMENT
The order and payment for products are made on Tavex’s website. The Customer receives information on the website about the current price list. When placing an order, the Customer must fill in their full name, email address, postal address, telephone number, and personal identification number, which products are desired, and the quantity. These details should be provided in the marked fields on the order page on the Website. When the Customer provides their personal details, the Customer agrees that Tavex will obtain or confirm address information about the Customer’s registered address or special postal address from the National Personal Address Register (SPAR). For more information about the processing of personal data, see point 8.
When the Customer has filled in all the details that Tavex needs to handle the order, the Customer can choose the desired delivery method. If the Customer wishes to pick up their products in one of Tavex’s stores, the Customer must also indicate the store. If the Customer wants to collect their delivery from a postal agent, the Customer will receive a notification from PostNord Sweden AB (hereinafter referred to as “PostNord”), about when and if the ordered product has been delivered for collection at the agent. To receive messages via SMS, the Customer must enter their mobile phone number in the designated box when placing the order. For the collection of orders in Tavex’s stores, an email will be sent to the specified email address when the products are ready for pickup.
Regarding payments with cards or Trustly, Tavex has the right to charge the Customer when the Customer approves the payment. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that sufficient funds are available at the time of the transaction. After the Customer has approved the payment, they will receive confirmation via email that the order has been made and that the payment is complete. Once the Customer has completed the payment, they cannot change the amount for which the order applies.
Payment must be made with the Customer’s own funds, and payment is therefore only allowed from a card where the Customer themselves are the cardholder or an account where the Customer themselves are the account holder.
IDENTIFICATION
Identification of the Customer takes place at the time of payment on the Website and upon delivery. If the personal identification number/name that the Customer has identified themselves with in the order does not match the rightful cardholder, account holder, or registered address/special address, the delivery will not be handed over.
MISUSE
Tavex has the right to cancel the purchase if it violates the law or regulation, or if Tavex suspects fraud.
PRICES
When paying for products, Tavex applies, at that moment, the current price list.
All prices are stated in Swedish kronor (SEK). If the Customer wishes to make payment in another currency, Tavex must be contacted by phone 08-678 20 30 or alternatively via email at tavex@tavex.se or chat to obtain the applicable exchange rate and conditions.
The buyback prices displayed on the website’s price list are for guidance only and indicate what Tavex would currently pay for items examined by one of the company’s precious metal experts. The amount the customer will receive may be higher or lower than the amount specified in the price list, depending on when the customer’s items arrive and the applicable price list at that specific time.
If the bar/coin is damaged, scratched, bent, or its original vacuum packaging is opened, Tavex will buy back the item at up to 96% of the spot price.
Bars and coins whose authenticity is questioned will undergo tests that may damage the item to determine purity. After purity is determined, the items are weighed and the customer is offered a price in accordance with the current buyback prices. If the customer declines the given offer, the items will be returned, and Tavex cannot be held liable for any damage caused to the items during the tests.
Tavex is legally obliged to identify the seller, meaning that the seller must present valid identification when selling precious metals to Tavex. The seller must also be at least 18 years old, the legal owner of the items, and also have the exclusive right to transfer the items’ ownership to Tavex.
When selling to Tavex, the customer can choose to receive their payment in cash or by bank transfer to an account belonging to the seller.
Products that the customer has purchased via Tavex’s “Buy precious metals online with pickup” service are available for pickup at the specified store from the date Tavex has notified the customer. This assumes that the information provided to Tavex during the order is correct and that the customer has not been informed by Tavex that the delivery has been obstructed. When products are picked up, the customer must present the order number and valid identification. The customer then signs to acknowledge receipt. Only personal handover is accepted, and proxies are not accepted.
Products that the customer has ordered will be shipped from Tavex within one (1) to five (5) banking days after payment has been made. This assumes that the information provided to Tavex is correct. Tavex sends products to the customer with insured and trackable shipment via PostNord. The order is sent to the customer’s registered address or special postal address. When the shipment is available for pickup at one of PostNord’s agents, the customer receives a notification from PostNord via a post slip and/or SMS if the customer has provided their phone number during the order. The customer can pick up the order at the post agent relevant to the customer’s registered address and special postal address. When products are picked up at the post agent, the customer must present valid identification. Then the customer signs to acknowledge receipt. Only personal handover is accepted, and proxies are not accepted.
All shipments are fully insured. Should the goods be lost or damaged during transport, Tavex reserves the right, at its own discretion, to send new products or refund the customer. The insurance is only valid as long as the goods are in transit and ceases to apply as soon as the shipping company has received the recipient’s signature.
The customer must present valid identification upon collection. Tavex reserves the right to determine which identification documents are to be accepted at any given time.
Tavex is responsible for carrying out the order that the Customer has made, provided that the Customer has placed a correct order. Tavex is not responsible for delays caused by PostNord or its agents. Tavex is not responsible for damage that the Customer may suffer due to errors in internet connection, or similar connection or other technical equipment that does not belong to Tavex. Tavex does not guarantee that an order can always be made via the Website and thus does not compensate for any additional costs that may arise if an order could not be made. Tavex is also not liable for damage resulting from Swedish or foreign legislation, Swedish or foreign authority action, war events, strikes, blockades, boycotts, lockouts, or other similar circumstances. The reserve regarding strikes, blockades, boycotts, and lockouts also applies if Tavex itself is the subject of or takes such conflict action. Damage that has occurred in other cases shall not be compensated by Tavex, if it has been normally careful. Tavex is only responsible for indirect damage in cases where the damage has been caused by Tavex’s gross negligence.
