Terms of Use
Agreement
Using this website means you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using it.
What the site is, and is not
Gold Spot Market publishes the gold spot price and explains how that number is formed, where it trades and what has moved it. It is not a dealer and does not sell metal. It is not investment, tax or legal advice: it never tells anyone to buy, sell or hold, and it does not forecast prices. Please ask a qualified professional about your own situation.
Where the figures come from
The spot quote is from gold-api.com. Futures history is for COMEX gold contracts as published by Yahoo Finance. Yearly history before 2001 is from the U.S. Geological Survey. The Shanghai benchmark is from the Shanghai Gold Exchange, converted with European Central Bank reference rates, and above-ground stock figures are from the World Gold Council. The site is rebuilt every few hours, so a figure may lag the market or contain a mistake. Read every number as a reference point with the time printed next to it, never as a quote or an offer.
If a source is down
When a data source does not answer, the page keeps the last figure it had, along with that figure's date, instead of going blank or guessing.
Figures from other organizations
When a page reports another organization's number, it names that organization and says whether we read its own page or a page reporting it. We are not responsible for the accuracy of other organizations' figures.
How the site is paid
Augusta Precious Metals may pay us if someone who requested its kit through one of our buttons later becomes its customer. It costs you nothing extra, and it has no influence on any figure or sentence on the site. Anything you agree with Augusta is between you and Augusta. The full disclosure.
Links
We link to other websites so you can check our sources. Those websites have their own terms and policies.
Limits of liability
As far as the law permits, Gold Spot Market accepts no liability for losses that come from using this site or relying on anything published on it.
Governing law
The laws of the State of Montana govern these terms, without applying its conflict-of-laws rules.
Our content
Unless a page credits another source, the words, tables and charts belong to this site. Short quotations are welcome with a credit and a link back.
Updates
If these terms change, the date at the top of the page changes with them.
