    7. any transaction initiated by you will not cause Gold Exchange to be in violation of any laws or regulations;
    8. you are the actual legal owner of and have full authority to sell the Property to Gold Exchange (Gold Exchange may, but shall not be required to, ask you to provide documentation or other proof of such ownership); and

  5. All Property sent to Gold Exchange by you must be sent in the provided packaging (the "Gold Mail Pack").
     
  6. The tracking applications of the third party carrier, Australia Post or Air Express, will be the sole proof that the Property was mailed to Gold Exchange. We also strongly advise that you provide the number of items on the customer form which you must return to us.
    If you do not use the Gold Mail Pack and pay for any postage to send your Property to Gold Exchange, an additional $10 will be added to the price quoted.
     
  7. By using the Gold Mail Pack, the Property may be insured for up to $10,000 by Australia Post or Air Express. Before posting the Gold Mail Pack we will discuss with you and determine how much the Property will be insured for. You must hand in the Gold Mail Pack provided by Australia Post or Air Express special delivery envelope at a Post Office branch or to your collection driver to get a signed receipt as proof of posting and to be covered by the pre-paid insurance. If you wish to insure your Property for more than the amount determined by us, you must do so at your own expense.

    1. placing certain acids on your Property and that this can leave permanent staining and/or deep scratches; and
    2. separating different materials or carat grades in the items included in your Property (including but not limited to watches and items containing different materials or carat grades, stones or non-precious materials).
