TERMS & CONDITIONS
ALC Antiques & Jewelry
Welcome to ALC Antiques & Jewelry. By accessing our website, using our services, or contacting us regarding the sale or appraisal of items, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions. These terms are intended to ensure professionalism, transparency, and legal clarity between our company and our valued clients.
Ownership and Authenticity
By contacting ALC Antiques & Jewelry to sell, consign, or have items evaluated, you confirm that:
- You are the rightful owner of the items you are presenting;
- You have full legal authority to sell or transfer ownership of these items;
- The items are free of claims, liens, or ownership disputes of any kind.
ALC Antiques & Jewelry assumes no responsibility for any misrepresentation of ownership, authenticity, or provenance. Once payment has been made, ownership of the item is fully transferred to ALC Antiques & Jewelry, and the seller forfeits all rights and claims to that item.
All sales are final — refunds, exchanges, or reversals of sale are not permitted.
Appraisals and Evaluations
All appraisals and evaluations are based on current market conditions and the expertise of our specialists at the time of assessment.
Appraisals represent professional opinions of value and do not constitute guarantees or fixed resale prices.
Market conditions may change and can influence the future value of items.

Payment will be made according to the mutually agreed-upon method at the time of sale.
Once funds are issued and ownership is transferred, the transaction is considered complete and final.

We work with established third-party refineries to ensure fair and competitive pricing, updated regularly and based on price per gram.
