Report Terms & Conditions

This report (“Report”), provided by Gemological Science International (“GSI”), a grading and appraisal organization, is given to the Purchaser subject to the following terms and conditions to which the Purchaser agrees.

This Report is not and shall not be regarded as a warranty of grading characteristics, or a recommendation of purchase, or a guarantee that any valuation listed will result in a sale at such price. The value(s) expressed is based on the appraiser’s best judgment and opinion and on current information, excluding all taxes, on the date indicated. No opinion is hereby expressed as to any past or future value unless otherwise stated. The date indicated is the date the appraisal was completed and is the appraisal s effective date.

Valuation information or grading contained in this Report is based on the application of the testing equipment and system used at the time the article(s) is examined. The carat weight, clarity grade, color grade and proportions of mounted gemstones can only be estimated; reasonable differences in opinion may result from factors such as lighting, grading techniques, type and condition of the equipment used, and the ability and experience of the gemologist or appraiser and may differ in the future as a result of changes and improvements in techniques and equipment. In addition, appraisals consider the range of prices at different retailers and marketing organizations.

Any other use, such as for investment purposes, renders the Report and the value conclusion null and void. GSI can provide this Report for a relatively small fee compared to the present and potential value of the article(s) described herein only because this Report is subject to the following limitations on GSI’s liability and the limitations described herein, all of which extend to Purchaser for whom this Report was prepared and to every other person to whom this Report is distributed or shown:
