Additionally, if you have an existing, ongoing relationship with us, depending on the nature of that relationship, we may continue to send you promotional or marketing messages via SMS, fax, calls or any means, about products and services which are related to that ongoing relationship notwithstanding your registration with the DNC Registry, unless you opt-out of receiving such messages.

Customer hereby grants to NGC and Submission Centre a security interest in the items submitted to secure payment of any Services fees. In addition to such security interest, Customer agrees that NGC/Submission Centre may hold any coins or other property submitted by Customer to NGC/Submission Centre or an affiliate of NGC until Customer has paid in full all outstanding balances, regardless of whether such balances are related to such coins or other property.

NGC will, at its expense, correct the clerical error and return the corrected item to Customer. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold NGC/Submission Centre and their affiliates, and all of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents, harmless from and against all claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) relating to or arising directly or indirectly from Customer’s failure to comply with this Section 10.
- Customer shall complete all submission information on the Submission Form, Submission Centre shall package and ship all items, in accordance with the instructions on the Submission Form. Customer represents and warrants to each Company that the declared value set forth on the Submission Form represents Customer’s good faith belief as to the market value of the item. If a Company determines that items are undervalued, it will assign its determination of the fair market value and adjust the Services fees accordingly.
- Upon submission, the Submission Centre assumes all risk of loss or damage to items until items are received and inspected by NGC. Customer understands and agrees that NGC cannot provide insurance on international shipments and shall not be liable for loss or damage on international shipments. Insurance for international shipments will be provided by the Submission Centre and the cost of insurance shall be borne by the Customer. Customers shall collect their returned submission within seven (7) days upon notification by the Submission Centre. If otherwise, the submission centre is released from any liabilities for loss or damage should the items not be collected by the customer within the stipulated timeframe.

In the event of a conflict, these terms and the current applicable guarantee shall prevail. If any term or condition is determined, by a final and non-appealable ruling or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other terms and conditions hereof.
