3. Description of Service

  1. The Depository agrees to maintain a segregated inventory of Allocated Precious Metals on behalf of the Customer at the Facility, free from co-mingling and exchange, under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Depository agrees to exercise the same degree of care and diligence in safeguarding the Property as any reasonably prudent person acting as a custodian would exercise in the same circumstances.
  2. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Customer shall deliver written notice (hereinafter an “Initial Notice”) to the Depository of its intention to have Property delivered to the Depository for storage at the Facility. The Initial Notice shall be delivered to the Depository at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Business Day the Customer intends for the Depository to receive the Property. Upon receipt of an Initial Notice, the Depository will confirm to the Customer within one (1) Business Day an acceptable receipt date for the delivery of the Property. The Depository reserves the right to suggest an alternative receipt date for delivery or refuse receipt of a delivery for reasons at the sole discretion of the Depository.
  3. Initial Notice shall specify, for each bar to be deposited, the bar number, the brand, the weight, and the fineness. The weight of gold should be provided in fine and gross troy ounce weight and the weight for all other Precious Metals shall be provided only in gross troy ounce weight. For metal deposited in other than bar form, such written notice shall specify the seal number, the brand, the fineness and the fine and gross weight or type and number of coins if deposited in such form. The Customer agrees that it shall never conceal or misrepresent any material fact or circumstance concerning the Property delivered to the Depository. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the Depository does not assume any liability as to the authenticity or fineness of any Property and/or any discrepancies identified between the weight and item count of the Property as stated in the Initial Notice and the actual weight and item count of the Property delivered.
  4. The Initial Notice shall also inform the Depository as to the identity of the carrier company that will transport the Property from the Customer’s location to the Facility. If the Property arrives at the Facility without the Customer having delivered the Initial Notice or if the Property arrives in advance of receiving a confirmed receipt date from the Depository, the Depository has the right and may choose to accept delivery or return the Property to the Customer at the latter’s cost.
  5. Upon receiving Property, and within a reasonable time after accepting delivery at the Facility, the Depository will confirm, in writing, that the product received matches what is stated on the Initial Notice. This will include a comparison of all descriptive information, which may include for any given shipment: bar/box/jar number, weight, brand, fineness, and/or type of product stated in the Initial Notice against corresponding information imprinted or affixed on each item delivered by the Customer. It is further acknowledged and agreed that, upon mutually accepted resolution of any discrepancies discovered while enacting the above procedures, the Depository count and weight of Property deposited shall be binding and conclusive. The Depository reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to open all sealed containers of inventory for verification purposes only, and any such verification will be done under camera and in dual custody.
  6. The Depository shall promptly notify the Customer if the Depository discovers a discrepancy between its findings and the information included in the Initial Notice. If the Depository determines that the discrepancy is attributed to the Customer, the Depository will suspend all activity on the shipment, and the Customer shall: (i) provide written instructions to the Depository for the refund of the Property to the Customer, at the latter’s cost; or (ii) issue a revised Initial Notice to correct the discrepancy. If the Customer fails to do either, the Depository retains the right to return the Property to the Customer at the latter’s cost.
  7. Once all material stated in the Initial Notice has been verified, the Depository shall confirm to the Customer receipt of said Property by delivering to the Customer a statement of deposit confirming the item count and total weight of the Property received in troy ounces.
  8. If the Property arrives at the Facility on pallets not packed safely in accord with the custom of the trade, the Customer will be notified by the Depository that it considers the state of the packing to pose a potential safety hazard and the Depository will repack the pallet at the Customer’s expense at the rate set out in the rate schedule attached hereto (the “Rate Schedule”).
  9. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Customer may withdraw Property from its inventory after giving written notice to the Depository. Such written notice shall be delivered to the Depository at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Withdrawal date and shall: (i) specify the Property to be Withdrawn from the inventory; (ii) specify the Business Day on which the Withdrawal is to occur; and (iii) contain the name of the carrier to whom the Depository shall remit the Property that is to be Withdrawn from inventory. The Depository at its sole discretion reserves the right to change the intended date of Withdrawal. Warning: All Precious Metals purchased by a customer, located outside Massachusetts, from CNT, Inc. and delivered to the Depository’s Facility for storage, must remain in the Facility for three months unless either Withdrawal by the Customer takes place at the Facility’s loading dock or resale by the Customer is accompanied by delivery within Massachusetts.
  10. Upon receipt of proper and complete instructions in writing from the Customer, the Depository will transfer the Property, or a portion thereof, to a third party who has an allocated storage account with the Depository. Transfers of Allocated Storage shall be processed within one (1) Business Day, unless despite reasonable efforts of the Depository, additional time is necessary for the transfer to be completed. Transfer will be confirmed by written notice on the same day. 
  11. If the Customer personally participates in the physical Withdrawal of the Property, before accepting possession, the Customer must examine and verify the Property to determine that it is the same Property and that it is in the same condition bearing the same characteristics as when deposited. Acceptance by the Customer releases the Depository for all claims relating to the condition and characteristics of Property when withdrawn.
  12. The Customer shall provide the Depository written notice with the names and signatures of the Customer's authorized representatives who are empowered to issue orders for Transfers of Allocated Storage or for Withdrawals of the Property from the Facility. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Depository shall not be liable for any transfer of Property made under a Transfer of Allocated Storage or for any Withdrawal order fraudulently executed in the name of an authorized Customer representative, nor for any transfer of Property under a Transfer of Allocated Storage or for a Withdrawal made where the authority of any such representative has been revoked and the Depository has not been notified thereof in writing in due time.
  13. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create between the parties the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, or joint venture. The Customer has no authority to and undertakes not to make any representation relating to the Depository, nor give any warranty or representation on behalf of the Depository, without the Depository’s prior written authorization. The Customer will be liable for all damages, losses and costs, including direct, special, incidental, consequential and punitive damages suffered by the Depository as a result of a breach of this Agreement. The Customer recognizes and acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement may cause the Depository irreparable harm for which monetary damage may be inadequate. The Customer agrees therefore, that the Depository shall be entitled to request an injunction to restrain the Customer from such breach or threatened breach.
4. Inventory Statements

The Depository will send the Customer an inventory statement following each transaction and with each billing statement.

5. Warranty

The Customer warrants that it has legal title to the Property delivered to the Facility or is the duly authorized agent of the owner of the Property, with the right in either instance to transfer possession of the Property to the Depository free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of said notice the Customer may reject said increase and the Property will be returned to the Customer in accord with the Customer’s written instructions and at the Customer’s cost. Otherwise, the Customer will be deemed to have consented to the increased charges.
  6. The Customer shall be in default for failure to make the full and timely payment of any monies due to the Depository pursuant to this Agreement and/or the terms stated in the Depository’s invoice, or otherwise defaults in the performance of any of the Customer's other obligations to the Depository. The Customer shall be responsible for any legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Depository in the collection of any said monies due to the Depository.

The Depository’s liability to the Customer shall terminate in respect of any portion of the Property: by a Transfer of Allocated Storage requested by the Customer; upon remittance to a carrier; or upon physical delivery to the Customer.
  2. The Depository assumes no liability for any shortage claimed within any Distinctively and Securely Sealed package delivered in the same condition as when it was received by the Depository or that has been opened and verified under camera and in dual custody and resealed by the Depository.
  3. The Customer shall cause the Property to be received by the Depository to be packaged in accord with the custom of the trade so that the Property is not reasonably susceptible to damage during the Depository’s performance of this Agreement.
  4. The Customer and the Depository shall maintain complete and accurate records of all Property delivered to the Depository. In the event of loss or destruction, the parties shall promptly and diligently assist each other to establish the identity of the Property lost or destroyed, and shall take all such other reasonable steps as may be necessary to assure the maximum amount of salvage at a minimum cost.
