If the Customer has any unsettled invoice such as for products or Administrative Fees or Costs or Price Losses, any fund held by PARHELIA in the Customer’s favour will be allocated towards the settlement of such an invoice first starting with the earliest outstanding debt. As precious metals orders are binding without exception, PARHELIA reserves the right to apply any and all funds held in favour of the Customer towards the payment for any of the Customer’s orders regardless of whether such orders have been aborted, or towards any outstanding Administrative Fee, Cost or Price Loss owing to the Customer’s order. If an order has been partially paid, PARHELIA will remind the Customer to settle the outstanding amount and when full payment has not been received within twenty-eight (28) days of the order placement, the terms and conditions of this paragraph applies equally as if payment has not been initiated or completed within the stipulated timeframe and any remaining balance held in favour of the Customer thereafter will be credited to the Customer's PARHELIA account.

The Customer acknowledges that the Customer bears the full responsibility to send funds, including cryptocurrency funds, to the correct account number or cryptocurrency address as designated by PARHELIA on the order confirmation.

The Customer acknowledges that PARHELIA reserves the right to return the funds, if possible, and/or terminate the order if there are doubts over the owner, identity or origins of the funds.

If everything is in order, the payment will typically be sent within 3 banking days from the time when PARHELIA takes possession of the items. For Customers who would like to use the proceeds from a sell order in Singapore to buy items from PARHELIA in the future, the Customer can select to have proceeds of the sell order credited to the Customer’s PARHELIA account.

A sell order for precious metals items is binding from the earlier of the Customer agreeing to the Terms and Conditions by submitting the order online on PARHELIA's website, or when the Customer receives a sell order confirmation document from PARHELIA after handing over the items to PARHELIA for the purpose of selling them. There are no cancellation rights when selling. PARHELIA generally rejects all orders for Customers that have previously cancelled binding orders. For cancelled orders, PARHELIA reserves the right to debit a fee of S$200 plus any price development negative to PARHELIA for the products covering the time between the order placement and order cancellation. Orders are cancelled when items in an order placed by a Customer is not handed over or sent to PARHELIA within the stipulated time, when items received do not, in part or in full, contain the stipulated fineness of precious metals, or when forged items are handed over or sent to PARHELIA.

Notwithstanding what is stated elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions, PARHELIA reserves the right to retroactively reverse and/or void any sell order where:

(a) Upon further testing, assaying or melting of received items, the metal type and/or metal purity as determined by PARHELIA differs from that stated on the sell order document issued to the Customer.

(b) The price has been published erroneously on PARHELIA's website, including in PARHELIA's internal system or teller system, due to computer-related problems, due to problems concerning price data or due to human factors.

(c) A mistake such as for example, but not limited to, a misweighing, a payment error or a product input error has led to an incorrect payment to the Customer.

PARHELIA reserves the right to reject sell orders. If PARHELIA chooses to cancel an order, regardless of reason, the Agreement is cancelled, and the items are returned to the Customer. PARHELIA reserves the right to debit shipping costs, Cash on Delivery costs and other costs including a probing cost of S$2 per gram for gold, platinum and palladium or S$0.10 per gram for silver with a minimum of S$200 per parcel if an order is cancelled due to erroneous information from the Customer such as, but not limited to:

- the metal not being a precious metal;

- an incorrect description has been given by the Customer;

- the metal deviating significantly from the purity and weight that the Customer has specified; or

- the metal being of another type than the Customer has specified.

If PARHELIA chooses to return the items for any other reasons, there is no extra cost incurred by the Customer.

The Customer hereby warrants that in selling an item to PARHELIA where PARHELIA determines, whether during enhanced testing, at melting or otherwise, that the item is not consistent with information on the sell order document provided to the Customer at or before the time of PARHELIA’s payment for that sale such that the item (a) is of a different weight or purity/karat, or (b) comprises a different metal, PARHELIA reserves the right and discretion to either pro-rate the calculation whereupon the Customer shall pay PARHELIA the difference as calculated by PARHELIA, or to void the sale whereupon the Customer shall repay PARHELIA the purchase money in full in exchange for PARHELIA returning the item to the Customer.

The Customer acknowledges that he/she bears full responsibility to fill in the correct Customer information and payment details such as e.g. selecting the correct preferred cryptocurrency and inputting the correct bank account number or cryptocurrency address, when selling bullion to PARHELIA. The Customer furthermore acknowledges that PARHELIA assumes no responsibility for losses resulting from inaccuracies in payment details such as the Customer e.g. selecting an incorrect cryptocurrency or the Customer inaccurately inputting the bank account details or cryptocurrency address.

By shipping items to PARHELIA, the Customer acknowledges that for the purposes of testing and verification, PARHELIA has the right to disassemble, split, scrape or in any other way adjust the form of the items necessary to test the metals. The Customer furthermore acknowledges that PARHELIA has the right to use X-Ray equipment, electronic test devices, spectrometers and chemical testing solutions on the items. PARHELIA does not take responsibility for any damages or changes that may occur on the items during the authentication and verification process.

The listed prices for bullion products on the sell page are valid if the products are in their original condition. The price reduction for a bar or coin that is not in its original condition is dependent on its severity of damage and whether there is a loss of weight or not. Provided there is no loss of weight, the reduction is normally in the range of 0.5% to 4%.

In the event that a price reduction has to be imposed, the reduction will be communicated directly to the seller via confirmation e-mail with the new pricing. The payment settlement will only be initiated if the Customer agrees to the revised price. If the Customer and PARHELIA cannot come to a compromise for the revised price, PARHELIA will initiate the return of the bullion at the Customer's cost.

PARHELIA will initiate payment for the sold items according to the Customer's instruction as soon as the items have been inspected, tested and verified. The payment will be sent to the chosen payment receiving method within 6 banking days from when PARHELIA takes possession of the items. The Customer bears any loss that may result from currency conversion or any fee, charge or cost which the Customer’s bank or payment service provider may impose. If everything is in order, the payment will typically be sent within 3 banking days from the time when PARHELIA takes possession of the items.

(c) A mistake such as for example, but not limited to, a misweighing, a payment error or a product input error has led to an incorrect payment to the Customer.

PARHELIA reserves the right to reject or cancel sell orders at its discretion. Where PARHELIA cancels an order, regardless of reason, the Agreement is cancelled and the items are returned to the Customer. PARHELIA reserves the right to debit shipping costs, Cash on Delivery costs and other costs including a probing cost of USD 2 per gram for gold, platinum and palladium or USD 0.10 per gram for silver with a minimum of USD 200 per parcel if an order is cancelled due to erroneous information from the Customer such as, but not limited to:
