Vault Metal does not provide trading, investment, legal, or tax advice. The website is a retail platform that enables customers to purchase and sell precious metals. Anything provided on Vault Metal’s website is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as trading advice, investment advice, legal advice, or tax advice.

Vault Metal LLC is a precious metals retailer. Vault Metal is NOT a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or commodity trading adviser under federal or state securities laws, and does not act as an investment advice fiduciary within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) or the Internal Revenue Code.

2. Copyright & Intellectual Property

The copyright in all material provided on Vault Metal’s website and in its published materials is held by Vault Metal or by the original creator of the material. No part of the material may be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, or transmitted in any form or by any means without the prior written permission of Vault Metal or the applicable copyright owner.

3. Risk Disclosure & Disclaimer Statement

The statements made on this website are opinions of Vault Metal. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Precious metals carry risk, and investing in precious metals — directly or through an IRA — is not suitable for all individuals.

Precious metals and coins may appreciate, depreciate, or remain unchanged depending on a variety of factors. Vault Metal cannot guarantee and makes no representation that any metals purchased will appreciate or produce a profit above and beyond the markup, premiums, or commissions charged. The decision to buy or sell precious metals is the customer’s alone and should be made subject to the customer’s own research and investment objectives.

Pricing Claims Disclosure: References to ‘industry-leading prices,’ ‘best pricing,’ or ‘price comparisons’ on Vault Metal’s website are based on periodic comparisons of publicly available dealer pricing and are not guaranteed to reflect current market conditions at any given moment. Actual pricing is subject to daily spot price fluctuations, premiums, bid-ask spreads, and dealer markups. Customers are encouraged to conduct their own price comparisons before purchasing. ‘Free storage’ promotions are subject to the terms of the applicable account or promotional agreement and may be limited in duration or scope; custodial and depository fees may apply. See the applicable account agreement for complete terms.

SEE OUR FULL RISK DISCLOSURES at https://vaultmetal.com/risk-disclosures/ for a complete description of the risks associated with purchasing precious metals.

Vault Metal does not guarantee the availability, accuracy, or timeliness of any TPI Data.

5. Quotes & Email Alerts

Vault Metal uses third-party data service providers to supply precious-metals price quotes. Unless otherwise indicated, quotes may be delayed by at least 15 minutes. Quotes are provided for informational purposes only. Prior to executing any transaction, verify current pricing directly with a Vault Metal specialist. Neither Vault Metal nor its data providers make any express or implied warranties regarding the accuracy of quote data.

6. No Refunds, Exchanges, or Returns

If you decide to purchase precious metals from Vault Metal, no refunds, no exchanges, and no returns are permitted except as specified in the applicable account or transaction agreement. All sales are final.
