If applicable, you agree you have full responsibility and liability to First Gold Group for any cancellation fee and/or market loss incurred by First Gold Group and you agree to remit immediately to First Gold Group good funds for any cancellation fee and/or market loss incurred by First Gold Group.

of your holdings as of the date of the storage statement. Storage fees are charged in advance of each six- month storage period and are payable upon receipt of the statement.

Market gains on Purchase Order cancellations shall remain the sole property of First Gold Group. Purchase Order cancellations will be confirmed, and you will be given a cancellation number.

10.ACCRUE Recurring Investment Program

a.  The First Gold Group ACCRUE Recurring Investment Program allows clients to buy Gold Maple Leaf gold bullion coins on a recurring basis at a fixed dollar amount. This program is currently not available in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Utah.

b.  Client must choose from the available ACCRUE Recurring Investment Program plans located on www.firstgoldgroup.com, which can be changed at any time at the Company’s discretion.

c.  Should the production of the product associated with the ACCRUE Recurring Investment Program plans become unavailable, or mintage discontinued while your ACCRUE Recurring Investment Program is active, Client agrees that First Gold Group may substitute the selected bullion coin for a bullion coin of the same quality and price as the original product selected.

d.  First Gold Group charges Client’s credit card on the day Client enrolls in the ACCRUE Recurring Investment Program, and then on the 15th of every month the Client remains enrolled in the program. To avoid Client incurring two full subscription payments within a single month, a first payment made by Client on a day other than the 15th of the month is prorated based on the number of days remaining between payment periods. For example, if Client enrolls on the 20th day of January, or the day of enrollment (5 days into the standard billing period, including the day of enrollment), there will be 26 days, or 83.87% of the subscription period remaining before the next billing period begins (26/31 = 83.87%). Client’s chosen plan's payment payment amount is then prorated to reflect the remaining plan period. For example, a plan of $25 per month will multiplied by 83.87% resulting in a first payment of $20.97, not including applicable taxes, on the day of enrollment. Each subsequent month Client’s credit card with be charged the full $25 on the 15th of the month.

e.  Client will be charged a one-time $10.00 setup fee on the day of enrollment.

f.  Client’s credit card will be automatically charged each month in the amount Client selects at the beginning of the ACCRUE Recurring Investment Program.

g.  On scheduled acquisition dates, Client will acquire the fractional amount of precious metals their allocated purchase amount can buy at the current selling price. For example, if Client has chosen to acquire the 1/20 oz. Gold Maple Leaf gold bullion coins with a monthly payment of $25, and the selling price for the 1/20 Canadian Maple Leaf gold bullion coin is $152 on the day the $25 payment is charged, 16.45% of the coin will be acquired. If the selling price of the 1/20 Canadian Maple Leaf gold bullion coin is $170 at the time the following month’s payment is charged, an additional 14.7% of the coin will be acquired. Please note, because Client is allocating a certain dollar amount per payment schedule, Client will not be able to acquire an entire coin with every purchase.

h.  After Client has paid for a full coin, Client’s coin(s) remain in storage with a third-party depository until such time as Client chooses to take delivery.

i.  At Client’s request, First Gold Group will deliver fully paid coins to Client’s account address within 10 business days of Client’s request for shipment and, if applicable, receipt of the shipping fee. Note: Client may not take delivery until Client has purchased an entire deliverable product (i.e., fully paid coins). Because Client is paying a certain amount per Client’s chosen ACCRUE payment schedule, Client will not be able to accrue an entire coin with every purchase. When Client’s fractional purchases accrue to the point when Client has purchased a complete coin, client may take delivery.

j.  Any amounts remaining on account after the Client takes delivery of fully paid coins will remain on account and accrue toward the purchase of the next full coin.

k.  Client will receive up to two free shipment every 12 months. Shipments in excess of two per 12 months are subject to a $25.00 shipping fee.

l.  First Gold Group provides free storage for coins with a total ask value of $4,500 or less. Any coins and bars with an ask value above $4,500 are subject to storage fees (see section 7. Storage).

m.  IMPORTANT INFORMATION - The ACCRUE Recurring Investment Program continues until Client provides notice of cancellation by: (1) requesting cancellation with a First Gold Group team member at 800-310-6126 (2) cancelling using Client’s personal account portal, (3) by email at service@firstgoldgroup.com.
