Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern the use of LändleCoins at www.laendlecoins.li, as well as the rights and obligations between LändleCoins and its registered users.

LändleCoins is a specialist online marketplace for coins, banknotes, bullion, minerals and gemstones, medals, jewellery and other items. Sellers can list products as auctions, fixed-price listings or, where available, as auctions with a ‘Buy It Now’ option.

The contract of sale for an item offered for sale is, in principle, concluded exclusively between the buyer and the seller. LändleCoins is neither the seller nor the buyer and does not become the owner of the items traded.

LändleCoins provides the technical platform with its functions for auctions, fixed-price sales, fee accounting and verification. The purchase price is settled directly between buyer and seller. LändleCoins does not accept any payment of a purchase price, does not hold customer funds and does not pay out any amounts to sellers.

The Privacy Policy applies in addition. There are no separate fee regulations and no specific payment or buyer protection terms; the fees are set out in §16, and there is no buyer protection beyond §21. Mandatory statutory provisions take precedence over these Terms and Conditions.

A personal user account is required for buying, bidding, selling and using protected features.

An account may only be opened by natural persons who are of legal age and have full legal capacity, or by legal entities that are duly represented. Membership is personal and, in principle, non-transferable.

All information provided during registration, purchase, sale, verification and payment processing must be complete, accurate and up to date. Any changes must be updated in the user account without delay.

As a general rule, only one account is permitted per person. Multiple accounts created to circumvent restrictions, fees, bidding rules or rating rules are prohibited.

Before a user can buy, bid or sell on LändleCoins, the verification under §3 must have been completed.

Buyers and sellers must complete verification before first using the buying, bidding or selling functions. LändleCoins carries out this verification itself and does not involve an external provider.

Verification has two stages. In the first stage the user provides first name, surname, date of birth, telephone number and residential address. LändleCoins sends a letter containing an activation code to that address. Entering the code confirms the address.

In the second stage the user sends a copy of an official identity document to LändleCoins, either by post to the post office box or by email to the address stated for this purpose, quoting the registration number in the subject line. This copy is used to check whether the details provided match the document. It serves this purpose only. After the check a paper copy is destroyed and a copy received by email is deleted together with the message; the time is recorded.

After both stages, LändleCoins decides on approval. Only with approval do buying, bidding and selling become available. The information provided must be complete, accurate and up to date; LändleCoins may require a further check where there are indications of false information.

If the residential address is subsequently changed, the address confirmation lapses and verification must be repeated for the new address. LändleCoins may block the buying, bidding and selling functions for as long as verification has not been completed or is no longer valid.

LändleCoins is not a financial intermediary and does not carry out any checks under anti-money-laundering legislation. Verification serves to know the identity of the marketplace’s users and does not replace any statutory due diligence obligation.

Login details, passwords, verification codes and other security features must be kept confidential and must not be disclosed to third parties.

If unauthorised access or misuse is suspected, the user must inform LändleCoins immediately and change their password.

The user is obliged to observe appropriate security measures when using the platform.

Actions carried out via an account may be attributed to the account holder, insofar as this is permitted by law and the account holder is responsible for such use.

In principle, only products that can be assigned to an permitted category may be offered on LändleCoins. The main categories are:

• Coins

• Banknotes

• Bars

• Minerals & Gemstones

• Medals

• Jewellery & Miscellaneous

Material as a product feature

Materials such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper or other metals are listed as product attributes or filters and do not necessarily form a separate main category.

Inadmissible offers

In particular, the following are prohibited: stolen goods, counterfeit goods, non-existent products, goods of unlawful origin, and products whose offer, sale, purchase, possession or dispatch contravenes applicable law or the platform’s guidelines.

The seller may only offer for sale items over which they have lawful disposal and which they are entitled to transfer to the buyer in the event of a sale.

The description must be truthful, complete and not misleading. All characteristics that are material to the value and the decision to purchase, as well as any known defects, must be disclosed.

The listing must be posted in the appropriate category. Category-specific mandatory fields and attributes must be completed correctly.

Special information regarding collectables and valuables

Where relevant to the item, the following details in particular must be provided: material, fineness, weight, face value, year of issue, origin, mint or manufacturer, condition, certification or grading, certificate number, known damage, repairs, cleaning, alterations, re-strikes or other characteristics relevant to value or authenticity.

Pictures

Images should, as a general rule, show the actual item being offered. Stock images are only permitted if this is clearly indicated and does not mislead the viewer. Image editing must not alter the condition, colour, patina, damage or any other characteristics relevant to the item’s value in a misleading way.

Only genuine, original goods and original items that may be lawfully traded may be offered on LändleCoins.

Replicas, forgeries, copies, imitations, counterfeits, fantasy-style coins and other items that purport to be originals or merely reproduce them may not be offered for sale. Unauthorised reissues and reproductions are also prohibited.

An item may only be offered for sale as ‘genuine’, ‘original’, ‘authentic’ or with similar descriptions if the seller has reason to believe, to the best of their knowledge, that it is genuine. If there are reasonable doubts as to its authenticity or provenance, the item must not be listed as an original on LändleCoins.

Information relating to grading companies, certificates, proofs of authenticity and certificate numbers must be accurate and verifiable. Tampered with, fabricated or misattributed certifications are prohibited.

LändleCoins may, where it has reasonable grounds to suspect an issue, request evidence, block or remove listings, and restrict accounts either temporarily or permanently.

LändleCoins can offer, in particular, auctions, fixed-price listings and auctions with a ‘Buy It Now’ option.

By publishing an offer, the seller declares that they wish to sell the product on the terms set out in the advertisement. Whether and when a binding contract is formed depends on the chosen method of sale and the following provisions.

In an auction, the seller specifies, in particular, the starting price, the duration of the auction, the delivery terms and, where applicable, a ‘Buy It Now’ price.

Bids may only be submitted using the function provided for this purpose. By placing a bid, the bidder makes a binding declaration that they wish to purchase the product in accordance with the terms of the offer if they are the successful highest bidder at the end of the auction.

LändleCoins uses a proxy bidding system. The bidder enters their maximum bid. The system automatically increases the currently visible bid only as much as is necessary to maintain the bid in the face of competing bids, but never beyond the maximum bid set.

The minimum bid increment depends on the current bid level: up to CHF 50.00 it is CHF 1.00, from CHF 50.00 up to CHF 200.00 it is CHF 2.00, and from CHF 200.00 it is CHF 5.00. Bids are only possible in whole francs; the system does not accept amounts in centimes. Above the minimum bid displayed, the amount is free.

The maximum bid is not, as a rule, displayed to other users. Where maximum bids are of equal value, the bid submitted earlier may take precedence.

Once a bid has been submitted, it is generally binding and cannot be withdrawn or amended at will.

If a valid bid is placed within the last two minutes before the scheduled end of the auction, the auction is automatically extended.

The new auction end time is generally two minutes after the last valid bid was placed. If a further bid is placed during this extension, the auction is extended accordingly.

The time at which the bid was received, as technically recorded by LändleCoins, is decisive.

Upon the conclusion of the auction, a binding contract of sale is generally concluded between the seller and the highest bidder, as determined by the auction system, at the final sale price.

In the case of a fixed-price offer, the contract of sale is concluded as soon as an eligible buyer bindingly completes the specified purchase transaction at the stated price.

In an auction with a ‘Buy It Now’ option, the buyer can purchase the item at the specified ‘Buy It Now’ price, provided this feature is available. Once the ‘Buy It Now’ option is successfully used, a binding contract of sale is formed immediately and the auction ends.

It is prohibited to artificially influence auctions, prices, demand or ratings.

• Bids on one’s own listings or via one’s own secondary accounts

• Collusive bidding by family members, friends or third parties to drive up the price

• Automated bids outside the functions provided by LändleCoins

• Fictitious purchases or fictitious sales

• Manipulation of valuations or artificial transactions

• Exploiting technical faults or tampering with the platform

A seller may withdraw a published listing themselves for as long as no bid has been placed and the item has not been bought. The withdrawn listing remains in the seller’s account. Using the ’List again’ function, the previous details and images can be carried over into the selling form. The seller may change these details before publishing again. A new listing only comes into existence when it is published again; earlier bids, orders, favourites and other processes relating to the old listing are not transferred to the new listing.

Once a bid has been placed or the item has been bought, the seller can neither remove nor change the listing themselves. From that point on they should contact LändleCoins; removal is then carried out manually, and only where no binding declarations stand in the way.

No function for changing a published listing exists. Once a bid has been placed, material characteristics of the item offered may, in principle, not be changed to the detriment of bidders.

LändleCoins may in particular remove, restrict, correct or move listings to an appropriate category where a breach of these Terms and Conditions or of applicable law appears possible, third-party rights are affected, doubts about authenticity exist, the description is misleading, or there are security or fraud risks.

The purchase price is settled directly between buyer and seller. LändleCoins is not involved in the flow of funds, does not accept payments of the purchase price, does not hold money in escrow and does not pay out any amounts to sellers. Where the item is shipped, payment is made by bank transfer directly to the seller. Where collection has been agreed, the purchase price is as a rule paid in cash on handover; in that case LändleCoins does not show the buyer any bank details of the seller.

Where the item is shipped, the order page shows the buyer the item price, the separately stated shipping costs, the total amount, the payment reference and the seller’s bank details required for this order. Where the item is collected, the shipping costs are CHF 0.00; amount and goods are exchanged at the handover in person. The confirmations provided on the platform serve in that case to document the process.

In order for a listing to be published, the seller must provide an IBAN together with the account holder’s name. Without stored bank details no listing can be created.

The order arises with the winning bid or the immediate purchase. As soon as the seller’s bank details are available, LändleCoins shows the buyer the amount, the reference and the bank details on the order page. The payment period of 7 calendar days starts at that point.

The buyer transfers the amount exclusively to the bank details shown on the order page and quotes the reference given there. Payment requests arriving by any other route do not come from LändleCoins.

After making the transfer, the buyer reports it using the ‘I have paid’ function. This report is not proof of payment but a notification to the seller.

The seller checks the receipt on their account and confirms it using the ‘Payment received’ function. Only with this confirmation does LändleCoins release the buyer’s delivery address to the seller, and only then does the dispatch period under §15 begin.

If the payment period expires without the buyer having paid or reported the payment, the order is marked as overdue and LändleCoins is notified. The order remains in place: the buyer may pay late, the seller may report non-payment, and LändleCoins may cancel the order.

Once the buyer has reported the payment, neither party can cancel the order any longer. If the seller disputes receipt, this is a dispute under §21.

Where the item is shipped, the seller has 7 calendar days after confirming receipt of payment to dispatch the item in accordance with the order and to mark dispatch using the function provided for this. Where collection has been agreed, buyer and seller arrange the handover directly between themselves; the purchase price is as a rule paid in cash on handover. The confirmations provided on the order page document payment and handover.

This marking starts the receipt period of 14 calendar days. Within this period the buyer should confirm receipt using the ‘Item received’ function.

An order is deemed completed in two cases:

• the buyer confirms receipt, or

• the receipt period of 14 calendar days has expired without a dispute having been opened.

Completion of the order is a record of what happened on the platform. It does not trigger any payment: LändleCoins holds no money and pays nothing out. By that time the purchase price has already reached the seller directly.

If a dispute is opened, the order remains in dispute until it is closed. Automatic completion after 14 days does not then occur. For the further procedure see §21.

Warranty, withdrawal and reversal claims between buyer and seller are governed by law and exist irrespective of whether an order is recorded as completed on the platform.

A platform fee of 6% of the item price is charged on every successful sale, but no more than CHF 200.00 per sale. From an item price of CHF 3'333.34 the fee therefore stays at CHF 200.00. Shipping costs are not added to the item price when calculating this 6%. They are paid by the buyer on top of the item price and are shown as a separate line on the order; the seller receives them together with the item price and uses them to pay the postage.

The fee arises with the winning bid or the immediate purchase, not only upon payment by the buyer. It is a claim of LändleCoins against the seller and is independent of the purchase price, which flows directly between buyer and seller.

A seller’s fees are collected in a fee account. Every fee and every credit note appears there as a separate line; the outstanding amount is their sum. Sellers can view their fee account in their account area at any time.

Due date

• Once the outstanding amount reaches CHF 5.00, it falls due 14 calendar days after that threshold is reached.

• If it remains below that, it falls due 30 calendar days after the most recent fee arose.

The outstanding amount is paid in a single transaction via the payment service provider Stripe, by card or TWINT. Stripe handles only this fee payment and is not involved in the purchase price. LändleCoins issues a receipt with a sequential number for every fee invoice paid.

Grace period and selling block

If a fee that has fallen due remains unpaid after a grace period of 7 calendar days, LändleCoins blocks selling: no new listings can then be created. Buying and bidding expressly remain possible, and orders under way continue. The block is lifted automatically as soon as nothing is outstanding.

If a sale does not materialise, for example because the order is cancelled or a dispute ends in the buyer’s favour, the fee is credited in full. The original line remains in the fee account and is offset by a counter-entry; nothing is deleted. If a credit exceeds the outstanding amount, it remains as a credit balance and is offset against the next fee.

Circumventing the fee structure is prohibited.

• Artificially inflated shipping costs combined with an unreasonably low item price

• Inviting a direct purchase or direct payment outside LändleCoins

• Sham cancellations followed by an external sale

The buyer and the seller are obliged to fulfil the concluded contract of sale in full and within the stipulated time limit.

The seller must package the item described properly and deliver it in accordance with the agreed method of dispatch or handover. After posting the consignment, they mark the sale using the ‘Item dispatched’ function. This marking starts the receipt period of 14 calendar days under §15.

When marking an item as ‘Dispatched’, the seller has the option to enter a tracking or parcel number. A tracking number is not, in principle, compulsory.

In the case of valuable coins, banknotes, bullion, gemstones, jewellery or similar items, the seller is responsible for choosing a method of dispatch appropriate to the value and contents of the consignment and, in particular, for checking the insurance cover, liability limits, declared value and tracking details.

If there is no tracking number or other proof of dispatch, this may make it more difficult for the seller to provide evidence in the event of a dispute regarding dispatch or delivery. In the event of a dispute, LändleCoins may request any available proof of dispatch and delivery.

The buyer should inspect the item received as soon as possible after receipt and report any significant discrepancies from the listing description via the platform. This applies in particular to the wrong item, undisclosed significant damage, incorrect material or fineness, significant deviations in weight, incorrect certifications or a justified suspicion of counterfeiting.

Statutory warranty rights between the buyer and the seller remain unaffected. In the case of a sale by a trader to a consumer, mandatory consumer warranty rights may apply and may not be excluded by these Terms and Conditions.

Procedure in the event of suspected counterfeiting

1. The buyer opens a dispute via LändleCoins on the grounds of ‘suspected counterfeit’ and describes the specific evidence. Where possible, relevant photographs, certificate details, test reports or other supporting documents should be attached.

2. The seller shall be given the opportunity to comment and to produce any evidence of provenance, purchase, certification or authenticity.

3. For as long as the dispute is open, the order remains in dispute and is not completed automatically. By that time the purchase price has already reached the seller directly; LändleCoins cannot withhold it.

4. LändleCoins may request the parties to submit additional evidence or to obtain an assessment from a suitable independent expert, dealer, inspector or a recognised grading company. LändleCoins itself does not, as a matter of principle, provide any guarantee of authenticity and does not replace an expert’s report.

5. If it emerges from an agreement between the parties or from sufficient objective evidence that the item offered as an original is not genuine, the purchase should be reversed. The refund is owed by the seller and is paid directly to the buyer, just as the payment was made directly. Any return required is to be handled between buyer and seller or in accordance with mandatory law. In such a case LändleCoins credits the platform fee.

6. If no agreement can be reached and the question of authenticity cannot be reliably resolved, LändleCoins shall not issue a binding decision on the civil dispute. The parties retain the right to seek a resolution through an expert, a competent authority or a court.

7. Irrespective of any civil dispute, LändleCoins may remove listings or suspend accounts if, following its own investigation, there are sufficient grounds to believe that counterfeit goods are being offered or that there are other breaches of these Terms and Conditions.

Sellers must truthfully state whether they are acting in a private capacity or as part of a business or commercial activity.

Commercial sellers must provide, in full and kept up to date, the company and contact details required for their activity. These include in particular the company or business name, the business address and business contact options as well as, where available or required by law, register, company or VAT details. LändleCoins may display these details in the seller profile, in the listing or in connection with an order, insofar as this is necessary to fulfil statutory information obligations.

Where a seller acts as a trader and the buyer as a consumer, mandatory obligations relating to information, withdrawal, guarantees and refunds, in particular, may apply under the consumer protection law applicable to the contract.

In the case of private sales, the statutory provisions and valid individual agreements between the buyer and the seller apply. Rights that are mandatory under the law cannot be excluded.

Where there are specific grounds for doing so, LändleCoins may request proof of the seller’s status or adjust the status displayed.

As a general rule, reviews may only be submitted in connection with a transaction that has actually been completed via LändleCoins.

The platform may limit the number of reviews per transaction. Self-reviews, sham purchases and artificially generated reviews are prohibited.

Reviews must be truthful, factual and relate to the transaction. Insults, threats, discriminatory content, deliberately false claims, personal data, advertising, review blackmail or paid reviews are not permitted.

LändleCoins may remove or restrict reviews if they breach these Terms and Conditions or applicable law. LändleCoins is under no obligation to rule on the substance of any dispute regarding a review.

Buyers and sellers can open a dispute about a transaction using the function provided. A reason must be selected from a fixed list and the circumstances described.

LändleCoins supports the parties in clarifying the matter and may in particular request and take into account listing data, payment status, dispatch information, photographs, certificates and other evidence.

There is no buyer protection. LändleCoins holds no money, does not secure any payment and cannot recover a purchase price that has already been transferred. What LändleCoins can do is: record the facts, mediate between the parties, credit the platform fee, remove a listing and block an account. Anyone seeking a refund must turn to the other party, not to LändleCoins.

For as long as a dispute is open, the order is not completed automatically.

A refund is owed by the seller and is paid directly to the buyer. If the purchase does not materialise, LändleCoins credits the platform fee to the seller; repayment of the purchase price is governed by the underlying legal relationship between the parties.

LändleCoins does not decide the civil-law dispute with binding effect and is neither a party to the contract of sale nor an arbitral tribunal. The parties remain free to turn to a conciliation body, an authority or a court.

For suspected counterfeits, the special procedure under §18 applies in addition.

LändleCoins may not be used to bring buyers and sellers together and then settle the purchase outside the platform in order to circumvent the platform fee or the rules of these Terms and Conditions. The fact that the purchase price flows directly between the parties makes no difference: what matters is that the purchase comes about through LändleCoins.

In particular, advertisements, messages or other content must not specifically encourage external payments or purchases. Contact details must not be used in a way that is clearly intended to circumvent LändleCoins.

As a general rule, users retain their rights to images, texts and other content they have created themselves.

By uploading content, the user grants LändleCoins the non-exclusive rights of use necessary for the operation, display, technical processing and promotion of the platform. These include, in particular, storage, reproduction, technical adaptation, display and publication in connection with LändleCoins.

Users may only use content for which they hold the necessary rights. Third-party product images, text, trade marks or other protected content must not be used without authorisation.

All rights to the platform itself, in particular to the software, database, design, trademark and logo of LändleCoins, remain with LändleCoins or the respective rights holders.

The platform must not be used in an abusive or unlawful manner. In particular, unauthorised access, malware, technical manipulation, circumvention of security measures, placing an unreasonable load on the systems, and automated scraping or automated interactions without LändleCoins’ consent are prohibited.

Personal data relating to other users may only be used to the extent necessary to carry out the specific transaction or on another legal basis. Use for unauthorised advertising, newsletters, data trading or publication is prohibited.

A user may in principle close their account provided that no open purchases, sales, payments, disputes, fees or other material matters stand in the way. Outstanding platform fees prevent deletion for as long as they remain unpaid.

LändleCoins may temporarily restrict or permanently suspend accounts, in particular where there is a breach of these Terms and Conditions or applicable law, where false information is provided, where required verification is missing, where there is suspicion of fraud or manipulation, where the rights of third parties are infringed, payments fail, or use of the service becomes unreasonable for LändleCoins or other users.

In the event of serious breaches, an immediate suspension may be imposed. A suspended user must not open a new account to circumvent the suspension without LändleCoins’ consent.

Statutory retention and documentation requirements remain unaffected by the closure of an account.

LändleCoins processes personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and LändleCoins’ privacy policy.

For the settlement of the platform fee, the data required for this purpose is transmitted to Stripe. For the settlement of a purchase, the seller receives the buyer’s delivery address and the buyer receives the seller’s bank details including the account holder; without this, neither transfer nor dispatch is possible.

The specific data that is processed, the purposes for which this is done and the rights of data subjects are set out in the privacy policy and, where applicable, in the data protection notices of the service providers involved.

Each seller is personally responsible for checking and complying with their tax, customs, commercial, accounting and other legal obligations.

This applies in particular to value added tax, income tax or corporation tax, customs duties and import charges, invoicing, and any record-keeping or reporting obligations.

LändleCoins may be legally obliged to collect, retain or disclose information about sellers or transactions to the relevant authorities.

LändleCoins endeavours to ensure the platform is reliably available, but does not guarantee that it will be free from interruptions or errors at all times.

Restrictions may occur, in particular due to maintenance, updates, server or network faults, cyber-attacks, failures on the part of external service providers or force majeure.

If an auction is significantly disrupted by a major technical fault on the platform, LändleCoins may, at its reasonable discretion, extend, suspend, cancel or repeat the auction.

In doing so, due consideration is given to the interests of the users concerned.

LändleCoins shall be liable in accordance with the mandatory statutory provisions. To the extent permitted by law, LändleCoins shall, in particular, not be liable for any loss arising solely from the non-performance or improper performance of a contract of sale between the buyer and the seller.

As a general rule, LändleCoins gives no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, authenticity or quality of user information and items offered. This applies in particular to authenticity, material, fineness, weight, condition, provenance, market value, rarity and certification.

To the extent permitted by law, liability for slight negligence and for indirect and consequential damages is excluded. Liability for wilful misconduct and gross negligence, as well as other mandatory statutory grounds for liability, remains unaffected.

Market prices, comparative figures, precious metal prices or estimates displayed on the platform are for information purposes only and do not constitute investment, purchase or sale recommendations, nor do they guarantee value.

Users and rights holders can report unlawful listings, counterfeits, infringements or other breaches to LändleCoins. LändleCoins may request, in particular, the listing number, a description of the breach, supporting evidence and contact details for the purposes of investigation.

If a user culpably infringes the rights of third parties or breaches statutory provisions, and LändleCoins is consequently subject to a valid claim, the user shall indemnify LändleCoins, to the extent permitted by law, against the relevant claims and the necessary legal defence costs.

LändleCoins may amend these Terms and Conditions for objective reasons, in particular due to changes in the law, regulatory requirements, changes to the platform, the introduction of new features or adjustments to the payment model.

Registered users will be notified of any significant changes in an appropriate manner before they come into effect.

In the case of sales contracts that have already been conclusively concluded, the terms and conditions applicable at the time the contract was concluded shall, as a general rule, apply.

The contractual relationship between LändleCoins and its users shall, in principle, be governed by the law of the Principality of Liechtenstein, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, unless mandatory statutory provisions stipulate otherwise.

For consumers, mandatory provisions relating to consumer protection and jurisdiction remain unaffected.

In the event of disputes between LändleCoins and commercial users or businesses, Vaduz, Principality of Liechtenstein, is agreed as the place of jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by law.

In the case of contracts of sale between the buyer and the seller, the applicable law is determined in accordance with the statutory provisions and the agreements validly entered into between the parties.

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions should be wholly or partly invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The relevant statutory provisions shall apply in place of the invalid provision.

No provision of these Terms and Conditions is intended to exclude or limit rights that exist mandatorily under applicable law.
