Terms of Service
The terms you agree to when you use the How To Sell Silver website. They are written to be readable, not to trip you up: this site is here to inform you and to help you request a free quote.
Welcome to the How To Sell Silver website at howtosellsilver.com. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of this website and the information and forms it provides. By accessing or using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We have kept these Terms as plain as we can, because we would rather you actually read them.
What this website is
This website provides information about selling silver for homeowners across the areas we serve, and a way to request a free, no-obligation quote or to contact us with questions. The content here, including descriptions of services, general guidance, and pricing explanations, is provided for general informational purposes. It is not a binding offer, a professional recommendation for your specific property, or a guarantee of any particular result. Every situation is different, which is why a real, firm recommendation and price come only after we assess your specific needs.
Quotes, estimates, and agreements
Requesting a quote through this site does not create a contract, and neither does our response to that request. Any ranges or general figures on this site are illustrative, not a quoted price. A binding price and scope of work exist only in a written quote we provide after assessing your property, and work proceeds only once you and we agree to it in writing. We reserve the right to decline any request, and to correct errors in pricing or information. Nothing on this site should be relied upon as a promise that a specific service, price, availability, rebate, or tax credit will apply to you; eligibility for any discount, program, or availability in particular depends on your circumstances and on factors we do not control.
Using the site properly
You agree to use this site only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not harm the site or interfere with anyone else's use of it. You agree not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site or its systems, not to submit false or misleading information through our forms, not to use the site to transmit spam or malicious code, and not to scrape, copy, or reuse our content except as ordinary personal reference. Our contact and quote forms are for genuine inquiries from prospective and current customers.
Intellectual property
The content on this site, including text, layout, graphics, and logos, is owned by How To Sell Silver or used with permission, and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use in evaluating our services. You may not otherwise copy, republish, or use our content for commercial purposes without our written permission. Any third-party names or trademarks referenced on the site belong to their respective owners and are used only for description.
Third-party links and brands
This site may link to third-party websites, such as review platforms or mapping services, for your convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. A link is not an endorsement, and your use of any third-party site is governed by that site's own terms. References to any third-party names do not imply they endorse or are affiliated with us unless we say so explicitly.
Disclaimers
The website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. While we work to keep the information here accurate and current, we do not warrant that it is complete, error-free, or continuously available, and we may change or update it at any time without notice. General guidance on the site is not a substitute for a professional assessment of your specific home. This disclaimer applies to the website only; the workmanship warranty on services we actually perform for you is a separate matter, set out in your written agreement with us.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, How To Sell Silver will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this website or the information on it. This limitation concerns the website itself and your reliance on its general content; it does not limit any rights or remedies you may have under a signed service agreement for work we perform, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Reviews and submissions
If you submit a review, testimonial, comment, or other content to us or about us, you confirm it is your own honest opinion and does not violate anyone else's rights. You grant us permission to display genuine reviews you provide, along with the first name and general location you share, in connection with our business. We do not fabricate reviews, and we do not post fake testimonials; anything shown as a customer review reflects a real customer. If you would like a review you gave us removed, contact us and we will honor the request.
Electronic communications
When you use this site or send us information through it, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, such as email replies or appointment confirmations, and you agree that these electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. This does not obligate you to receive marketing messages, which are covered separately.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to hold How To Sell Silver harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of this website or your violation of these Terms. This provision concerns misuse of the website and is separate from, and does not affect, the ordinary consumer protections and obligations that apply to any actual service work we perform for you under a signed agreement.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any dispute relating to the website will be handled in the appropriate courts located in Florida. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect.
General provisions
These Terms, together with any written agreement you sign for services and our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of this website, and they supersede any prior understandings on that subject. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent, while we may assign ours in connection with a transfer of our business. Section headings are for convenience only. If any part of these Terms is held invalid, the remaining parts stay in full force. We are also not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as severe weather or other acts of nature.
Availability of the site and services
We work to keep this website available and accurate, but we do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of it at any time, including for maintenance or updates. Similarly, the services we describe are subject to our availability, scheduling, and service area; describing a service here is not a promise that it can be provided at a particular time or place. During busy seasons, response and scheduling times may be longer, and we will always be honest with you about realistic timing rather than promising what we cannot deliver.
Feedback
If you send us suggestions or feedback about the website or our services, we appreciate it and may use it to improve what we do, without any obligation to you for that use. You are, of course, never required to provide feedback, and doing so does not affect the service you receive.
Accessibility
We are committed to keeping this website usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. If any part of the site is difficult for you to use, our Accessibility Statement explains what we do and how to reach us for help, and we will gladly provide information or arrange service another way.
Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version here, and your continued use of the site means you accept the changes. We encourage you to check this page when you visit. Material changes will be reflected in the version posted on this page, so the current Terms are always the ones you can read right here.
Contact us
If you have any questions about these Terms, please reach us by email at [email protected] or through our contact page. You may also want to read our Privacy Policy and our Accessibility Statement. When you are ready to move forward, the honest first step is always a free, no-obligation quote. We would genuinely rather answer a question now than have you agree to something you are unsure about, so please do ask.
This site is information, not a transaction
The most important term here is the simplest one: nothing on this site buys, sells, values, appraises or brokers precious metal. The precious metals buying business the author ran is closed. There is no address to send anything to, no quote that can be accepted, and no circumstance in which this site becomes a party to a sale of your property. Every page exists to help you deal with someone else.
That is why the standard commercial language about quotes and agreements does not apply here in the way it would on a trading site. There is no offer to accept, so there is no contract to form.
What the numbers on this site are, and are not
Melt values, purity percentages, weight conversions and typical payout ranges are published to help you check somebody else's arithmetic. They are general figures based on public spot prices and long experience of what buyers pay, and they are not an appraisal of your property. Spot moves continuously, purity varies, weights are frequently misread, and a piece that is worth more intact than melted can be worth several times a melt calculation. Do not treat any figure here as a valuation of a specific item.
Where a page gives a range, the range is the point. A single number would be more satisfying and less honest.
Not financial, tax or legal advice
Whether to sell, when to sell, whether to hold metal as an investment, and what you may owe afterwards are all questions with answers that depend on your circumstances and your jurisdiction. Nothing here is advice on any of them. For anything with a tax or estate dimension, particularly inherited property or an estate being cleared, speak to someone licensed and local to you. That advice is worth what it costs.
Affiliate relationships
Some outbound links earn a commission if you buy or sell through them, at no additional cost to you. Those links are labeled where they appear and the affiliate disclosure explains the arrangement in full. A commission never changes a ranking, a recommendation, or a number on this site, and the methodology is published so you can hold that claim to account rather than take it on trust.
Being paid a commission also does not make this site responsible for a merchant. If you deal with a buyer found through a link here, your agreement is with them, their terms govern it, and any dispute is between you and them.
Accuracy, corrections and the limits of a one-person site
This site is written and maintained by one person. Prices move, buyers change their practices, and businesses that behaved well for years sometimes stop. Everything here is believed accurate at the time of writing and is corrected when it is shown to be wrong. Corrections are welcome and are the most useful thing anyone sends: if a buyer behaved differently from how a page describes, that is worth more than any compliment.
To the fullest extent the law allows, the site and its author are not liable for losses arising from decisions made on the basis of information published here. That is the standard limitation, and it is stated plainly rather than buried.
Your own content
If you send a correction or an account of your own sale, you are giving permission for the substance of it to inform the site, including in anonymized form. Your name and contact details are never published. If you would rather something you sent were not used at all, say so and it will not be.
Acceptable use
Read it, quote it, link to it, print it, and send it to a relative who is about to accept a bad offer. What you may not do is republish substantial portions as your own, scrape the site to reconstitute it elsewhere, or use the material to construct a service that misleads people about what their metal is worth. The purpose of publishing this openly is that sellers arrive better informed, not that the text becomes filler somewhere else.
