If you fail to receive approval we will have no liability for any Merchandise while in transit and you will be responsible for any return shipping costs.

Shipping and Insurance

You must send all items to TRUVAL via FedEx, USPS or UPS, using the shipping labels we send you. All items sent to us are insured for the amount of $1,000 by default. For added insurance you must contact us via e-mail and receive in writing stated in the e-mail you receive to confirm your insurance up to a maximum of $250,000 and specific packaging instructions.

For any offers that your receive that include a range in value, we insure such packages for the higher end of the price range communicated to you or the middle of the price range communicated to you. We will communicate to you if you must self-send using your own shipping and insurance. If you decide to arrange for your own shipping, you shall be solely responsible for shipping costs and any related insurance and assume any and all risk of loss for your Merchandise.

In order to arrange adequate insurance TRUVAL may request further information from you regarding the items you intend to send to us, and we will rely on this information in order to arrange insurance.

TRUVAL will open every pack which it receives from you under video, and will weigh and, where relevant, test the items included in the pack, and compare them to the details received from you both prior to your submission of the item, and on any form you sign and send to us. TRUVAL reserves the right to reject any forms (and the items they are sent with) which are not properly completed and signed. TRUVAL also reserves the right to reject delivery of any package which appears to be opened, damaged, or tampered with in any way. Any such packages that we reject will be returned to you – at our cost – but with no liability to any customer for any such attempted delivery or return of any such items.

Loss Guarantee and Insurance

If you send us Merchandise using a Company generated pre-paid shipping label and obtain a receipt and tracking number from a staffed carrier location or a carrier driver, we guarantee your package, whether sent to or from the Company, against loss or damage up to the lesser of either the fair market value of your Merchandise as determined by us in our sole discretion or $1,000.

If you believe your Merchandise has been lost or damaged, you must file a claim with us within 10 days of the date the Merchandise was sent. To file a claim you must have your carrier receipt and tracking number; please email info@truval.com or call (212) 938-1002.

Your Merchandise may also be insured up to $250,000. You must call us first at (212) 938-1002 to receive written approval and follow all the instructions and procedures prior to shipment of your Merchandise.

In the event of a loss, Truvals liability is and shall be expressly and specifically limited to the LEAST of the following sums:

1. The liquidation value placed on the item by Truval in Truvals sole discretion.
2. One Fifth (1/5) of the appraised value of the item(s) according to an appraisal done by an independent accredited appraiser submitted by a customer/seller to Truval, which appraisal was issued not more than 3 years prior to the shipment and not after shipment of the item(s) to Truval.
3. The sum of $1000.00. The customer/seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that Truvals liquidated value shall be conclusive and binding and further, that in no event shall Truvals Liability exceed $1000.00.

Truval shall not be liable to anyone for any damages, including but not limited to, incidental, consequential, punitive, loss of profit or opportunity, other than as set forth herein above. By submitting the item, customer/seller explicitly accepts this limitation of liability.

Valuation and Offer

Once we receive your items, our specially trained experts will test and evaluate them to determine their value. TRUVAL may need to remove a diamond to adequately value it. We will ALWAYS contact you and get your consent to the removal of a diamond before doing so.

BY SENDING US YOUR JEWELRY, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPT THAT THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING A VALUE OF THE METAL MAY INVOLVE PLACING CERTAIN ACIDS ON THE GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM, OR OTHER ITEMS WHICH CAN LEAVE PERMANENT STAINING AND/OR SCRATCHES. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT truval-buyers.com IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THIS PROCESS OR ANY RESULTING DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THE ITEMS.

We will determine the value of your precious metals and Merchandise using a calculation based on the London PM Precious metal price fix as per www.kitco.com/market of the applicable precious metal (gold, silver, platinum, etc.) on the day prior to the day we process your Merchandise along with a formula based on the purity and weight of the Merchandise, and any other factor that we deem to be appropriate such as brand, desirability, eye appeal, condition, market trends, auction values etc..

If we make you an offer, it will be valid until 5:00 pm EST the following business day. As the prices of diamond, gold, and other precious metals change regularly, our offers cannot generally be extended beyond then. If you accept our offer, the goods will be immediately shipped for diamond removal and melting down, so your acceptance is legally binding on both of us and is irrevocable. Please note that when accepting an offer, any no value items will not be automatically returned to you, unless you specifically request their return at the time of the offer.

Accepting or Rejecting Offer

Once we have determined your offer, we will communicate it to you via (A) an e-mail message and/or (B) phone message. You must accept our offer within six business days or, for your convenience, we will deem the offer accepted and issue payment to you according to the method you selected. 

Should you reject our offer, you are required to send an e-mail to info@truval.com with your return address so that we can confirm that address to ensure the safe returns of your valuables.
We will then return your Merchandise to you via any Carrier we choose at our expense. All shipments will require a signature upon delivery. If you choose to receive your Merchandise without signature, or, have “signature on file” services with the carrier, we will not be responsible for loss or damage. Upon delivery of returned Merchandise by the Carrier as indicated by the Carrier records, the Company assumes no further liability as to the loss of the Merchandise. You must notify us immediately of any change of address. We will not be responsible for the loss of your Merchandise if the Carrier is unable to deliver to the address on file.

If the carrier fails to deliver your Merchandise and returns it to us, we will attempt to send the Merchandise a second at a cost to you of $25 providing that you contact us within 30 days of the previous failed shipment.. If Merchandise is returned to us a second time, we will consider it abandoned and discard it unless you claim it within 90 days of the date we first attempted to mail your Merchandise back to you.

Payments

After you accept our offer or the offer is deemed accepted, we will arrange payment details with you. We will pay by one of the following payment methods:

• Company Check
• PayPal™
• ACH transfer to your bank

Payments are issued either (A) the same day, if accepted before noon (EST) or within one business day. If you did not complete your preferred payment method, we will issue a check.

If we deem your transaction to be suspicious, we may, before we issue Payment for your items, verify the personal and payment information submitted through a national provider of personal identification and verification services.  If we are not able to verify your information, we may ask you for additional information which may delay Payment.

Nearly all our customers accept the offer we make them, but if you decide not to accept our offer for your items, your goods will be returned to you, at our cost, within five (5) business days from when you decline our offer.

Returned Items

If our return carrier is not able to return the items because it has been unable to obtain a signature, it will leave an instruction card. If the package is returned to a local delivery office, it will need to be collected within a period of time specified by the carrier. If the package is not collected within this time, it may be returned to us. On receipt of the returned items, we will contact you to arrange for the items to be resent; however there will be a charge of $25 to cover the additional postage and administration costs. Payment must be received within two (2) weeks of contacting you or we reserve the right to purchase the items at our offer price, excluding our administration costs and holding insurance fee. When returning your original items, TRUVAL shall, in its own discretion, choose the return carrier and relevant insurance for each such return. TRUVAL is not liable for any items becoming damaged. We may be independently insured against any such loss, and in the event of any claim, the customer agrees to provide all such information as we or our insurance company may reasonably request, including signing for the returned package.

RETURN INSURANCE LIABILITIES

Users offering merchandise for sale to Truval understand and accept that they will be offered the fair market wholesale value. If an item is returned to a seller, Truval will insure the item for no more than the value Truval has placed on the merchandise regardless of what it was insured for inbound by the seller unless otherwise notified by email prior to return shipment.

Truval shall, in its sole discretion, choose the return carrier, insurance and receipt verification method for each transaction. Customer will be liable for any and all insurance fees/cost incurred for returned shipping of merchandise that contained less then 0.25 ounces of precious metals, as well any merchandise that was deemed to be a replica, fake, counterfeit, copy or stolen will be assessed a return shipping fee and will not be insured. Truval reserves the right to report to the appropriate authorities any suspicious or fraudulent attempts to mislead our buyers.

Lost Property

If you send us items without a completed customer form, it is unlikely we will be able to identify you as the sender unless you have written your name and address on the package. If the shipping label was requested via our website, we may be able to identify you as the sender using the reference and tracking numbers of the label. If we are not able to identify you as the sender, then the items will be classed as lost property. We will continue to hold these items for a period of six (2) months in a secure area. Customers claiming items will be required to provide a full and detailed description before an offer is made. Once we have confirmed a lost property claim, we will make payment for the items at our then-current price. If the items have been held in excess of three (3) months, a deduction of $15 per week will be made from this payment to cover our storage and administration costs. If a claim is not made within six (6) months, the package will be considered abandoned.

Items Sent to Us in Error

Our shipping label and envelopes are coded with a unique bar and are for customers sending precious metals with the intent to sell to us. If you use our shipping labels or envelopes to send items intended for someone else, they will still be automatically sent to us. The fee for returning these items is $30, which covers our postage, insurance, and administration costs.
