Legal
Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Meridian Aurum website and any account you open with Meridian Aurum Capital Ltd. ("Meridian Aurum," "we," "us," "our"). By creating an account or using this site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use this site or open an account.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction and able to form a legally binding contract to open an account. You must complete identity verification (KYC) and any applicable anti-money-laundering (AML) checks before funding an account or placing an order. TODO: verify — confirm and list the specific countries/jurisdictions this service is available in before launch.
2. Accounts
You're responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or close an account that we reasonably believe is being used fraudulently, in violation of these Terms, or as required by law.
3. Orders, pricing, and fees
Quoted prices reflect market conditions at the moment you confirm an order and are time-limited. All fees (spreads, storage, and delivery where applicable) are disclosed before you confirm an order; see Pricing & Fees. Once confirmed, an order is generally binding, subject to any cancellation window we may offer.
4. Storage and delivery
For vaulted products, gold is held as described on the relevant product page and in Security & Vaulting. For physical delivery, risk of loss generally passes to you upon confirmed delivery, subject to any in-transit insurance arrangements described at checkout. TODO: verify — confirm the precise risk-transfer point and in-transit insurance terms with the real logistics/insurance partner before launch.
5. No investment advice
Nothing on this site constitutes personalized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. See our full Risk Disclosure. We do not guarantee any return, and gold's value can fall as well as rise.
6. Prohibited use
You agree not to:
- Use the site or your account for money laundering, fraud, or any unlawful purpose
- Attempt to circumvent identity verification or provide false information
- Interfere with or disrupt the site's operation or security
- Use automated systems to access the site outside of any API we may separately offer
7. Limitation of liability
TODO: verify — this section requires jurisdiction-specific drafting by a qualified lawyer. A typical structure disclaims indirect/consequential damages and caps direct liability, but the specific language, and what can and cannot be limited, differs between the US and UK and by state/country, and must not be copied without legal review.
8. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified through the site or by email to the address on your account before they take effect. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
9. Governing law
TODO: verify — insert the real governing law and jurisdiction/dispute-resolution clause, confirmed with legal counsel, reflecting the actual jurisdiction(s) this business operates and is regulated in.
