You understand and acknowledge as with all investments, the value of coins could go up or down. You understand and acknowledge the coin market is speculative and unregulated and you could lose money if you sell your coins in the short term.

You understand returns of numismatic items outside of the thirty (30) day return privilege may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 20% or repurchase at First Fidelity’s buy price at the time of return.

You shall independently determine what percentage is appropriate for you and your personal circumstances.

6. Although First Fidelity takes great care to provide accurate product and pricing information, pricing or typographical errors may occur. In the event an item is listed with incorrect information or an incorrect price due to an error in information or pricing, First Fidelity reserves the right at their sole discretion to refuse or cancel any order placed for that item.

Prices and availability of products are subject to change without notice.

7. You accept and acknowledge First Fidelity’s Privacy Policy.

Data Security

 

The security and confidentiality of your information is important to us.  We have implemented certain technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to help protect customer information from unauthorized access and improper use.  This is an ongoing process and, from time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods.  Please be aware that despite a company’s best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. 

We are committed to providing you a safe, risk free environment.  We use some of the most sophisticated security software available on the market and have done everything reasonably possible to ensure that any personal information you share with us will not be misappropriated.  Should you ever suspect an unauthorized party has obtained or used your personal information, please contact us immediately.  We will investigate the matter thoroughly.  Any time that you discover or suspect fraud, you should contact your credit card company immediately. 

The Site incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, including Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) for all financial transactions through the Site.  We use SSL encryption to protect your personal information online, and we also take several steps to protect your personal information in our facilities.  Personal information may be printed or otherwise stored in a non-electronic form.  Employees who need access to your personal information to perform a specific job are permitted access to your personal information.  Finally, we may rely on third-party service providers for the physical security of some of our computer hardware.  We believe that their security procedures are adequate.  For example, when you visit the Site, you access servers that are kept in a secure physical environment, behind a locked cage and an electronic firewall.
