Risk Disclosure

This disclosure is general in nature and cannot describe every risk relevant to your circumstances. It does not constitute financial, investment, legal or tax advice.

You are responsible for your own due diligence and for obtaining independent professional advice appropriate to your jurisdiction, entity and transaction.

Gold prices move continuously and can fall as well as rise, sometimes sharply and without warning. Movements between quotation, contract execution, assay and settlement can materially change the economics of a transaction.

Historical prices and past transaction outcomes are not indicators of future results. Indicative pricing shown on this website is not a dealable quotation.

A counterparty may fail to perform, may misrepresent its capacity, or may become insolvent. GCI conducts due diligence proportionate to the transaction but cannot guarantee the honesty, solvency or performance of any party.

GCI acts as a transaction coordinator and introducer. We are not a principal, guarantor, escrow agent or insurer of any transaction unless expressly agreed in writing.

Doré is an unrefined product of variable composition. Declared purity and weight are indicative until confirmed by an independent assay at an accredited refinery, and outcomes may differ from expectations.

Final settlement is normally based on verified assay results, which can increase or decrease the value payable.

Export permits, licences, royalties, taxes and local content requirements differ between jurisdictions and can change at short notice, including retrospectively.

Political instability, export suspensions, strikes, border closures and administrative delay in a country of origin can delay or prevent a transaction after costs have been incurred.

Transactions are conditional on satisfactory KYC, AML, sanctions and responsible sourcing outcomes. A transaction may be declined, paused or terminated at any stage if a compliance concern arises, without liability to GCI.

Banks and refiners apply their own independent compliance policies and may decline funds, material or documentation for reasons outside our control.

Secure transport of precious metals involves risk of delay, damage, theft and loss. Insurance cover is subject to the terms, exclusions, valuation basis and deductibles of the relevant policy, and may not restore full commercial value.

Carrier availability, airline embargoes on valuable cargo and customs inspection can extend timelines beyond any indicative estimate.

The precious metals sector attracts fraudulent offers, forged certificates, false permits and impersonation of legitimate businesses. Verify all documentation independently and confirm banking details by voice with a known contact before transferring funds.

GCI will never ask you to send funds to an account communicated only by email, and will never request payment to a personal account. Treat any such request as fraudulent and contact us immediately.

Cross-border settlement exposes parties to exchange rate movement, correspondent banking delay, intermediary fees and payment rejection for compliance reasons. Payment mechanisms and who bears these costs must be agreed in writing before execution.

Indicative timelines are estimates only. Compliance onboarding, permitting, assay and logistics frequently take longer than expected, and no completion date is guaranteed unless expressly contracted.

Physical metal is not a liquid instrument. Committing significant capital to a single transaction, counterparty or jurisdiction concentrates risk, and exiting a position may take time and incur cost.

By engaging with GCI you acknowledge that you have read this disclosure, understand that no commercial outcome is guaranteed, and accept that you make transaction decisions on your own assessment and with your own professional advice.
