Terms of Sale

1. Scope

For all deliveries and services of Savoca Numismatik GmbH & Co. KG the following general terms are exclusively applicable. They distinguish between rights of the consumer according to § 13 BGB and rights of the business according to § 14 BGB. The following conditions shall apply to future contracts between the Parties even without written agreement in the case there has not been a different written agreement between the Parties. Differing general terms of the Purchaser are hereby objected to. This objection is also valid if the Purchaser requires a special form for the objection.


2. Catalogues/Internet offer on biddr.ch

The coins in our auctions are portrayed and described in an auction catalogue or the internet. All the content in our catalogues represents subjective estimates und do not represent any sort of guarantee according to §443 BGB about the condition/quality of the coin. We reserve the right to make changes to or augment our catalogues until the actual auction.

All the coins of our 'premium auctions' and our eAuctions can be examined und inspected prior to the auction if the bid price is 500€ or higher. All coins are used and are auctioned off in the condition they are in at the time of the auction.

In case of doubts or a value of over 2500€ the vendor has to prove upon delivery to Savoca that the coin stems from a legal source, hence, was not im- or exported illegally. Savoca is hereby implementing the provisions of the `Kulturschutzgesetz` as far as reasonably possible. A detailed check of the provenance of a coin therefore only takes place at a value of more than € 2500.


3. Purchase/Order

The purchasing process through the auction platform biddr.ch involves three to four steps in total. Every new customer has to register in order to purchase coins on biddr.ch. In order to register one needs to make his or her customer data known, including billing address, and in case it differs from the billing address, also the shipping address. Furthermore, you will select a password which in addition to your email you will use to login on the portal. In the next step you login to the portal by typing in your email as well as the corresponding password. In the third step, you bid on your wanted item. In case you are highest bidder at the end of the auction and get the acceptance of the bid relating thereto, you are issuing a binding offer to conclude the contract. In the fourth step you choose the method of payment. In the last step, you have the chance to check your details again (e.g. Name, address, method of payment, items ordered, etc.) and correct them in the case something is wrong, before your order is sent to us


4. Conclusion of Contract

The presentation of coins on biddr.ch does not constitute an offer by Savoca. An offer for conclusion of a contract is made through the receipt of the order of the customer by Savoca Numismatik GmbH & Co. KG. The contract is concluded with the acceptance of the offer or order. This can happen through written acceptance or by sending the ordered product to the customer. The receipt of an online order is immediately confirmed to the e-mail address provided by the customer, but the confirmation of receipt does not represent an acceptance of the offer yet. However, the acceptance of the offer can be combined with the confirmation of receipt. No guarantee is given that the texts and pictures portrayed on the internet are correct, complete and up-to date. Printing errors and mistakes can occur and we reserve the right to correct them.


5. Pricing, Shipping Costs

All mentioned prices are denominated in Euro and include the value added tax. Additionally, every buyer/customer is obliged to pay a premium of 18% of the final auction bid to the auctioneer.
