Products featured on the Site have been carefully selected for sale on the Site. Once an item is sold out it will be taken off the Site at the earliest opportunity. Prices of products may change from time to time. Goods are subject to availability. As there is a delay between the time when your order is placed and the time when the order is accepted, the stock position relating to particular items may change. If an item you have ordered becomes out of stock before the issuance of the Acceptance Email we shall notify you as soon as possible and we shall refund to you the payment you have made for the out of stock item. We shall not be obliged to make any additional payment for disappointment suffered.

We endeavour to be as accurate and complete as possible in relation to product description and the content. However, we do not warrant that product description or any content is accurate, complete, current, or error-free. We reserve the right to refuse to accept your order or cancel the contract (if any) between you and Chow Sang Sang if any of the products you have ordered were listed in the Site at an incorrect price due to typographical error. In such event, we shall refund to you the payment you have made for the ordered product.

You are expressly reminded that the colour, textures or finishes, size, aspect and scale of the display of a product may vary depending on the type of computer monitor you use and its settings. We are therefore unable to guarantee that the product images are accurate representation of the actual merchandise. Please refer to Clause 9 if you are unhappy with your purchase.

All products in the Site will be charged in Hong Kong Dollars (HK$) and other currencies displayed are for reference only.

Prices displayed in the Site at the time your order is accepted will be honoured except when the prices are incorrect due to typographical error. Whilst we use our best endeavours to ensure that all prices appearing in the Site are accurate, we do not guarantee that they are error-free and reserve our right to rectify any errors. If we discover that any product that you have ordered has been listed at an incorrect price due to typographical error at the time you placed the order, we will inform you as soon as possible and offer you the option of reconfirming or cancelling your order if we do not elect to refuse to accept the order or to cancel the contract (as the case may be). If we are unable to contact you, we will refuse to accept the order or cancel the contract (as the case may be).

- For gold bar with the pricing method "Priced by Weight", the final amount is calculated based on the following formula: Product Weight (in tael) x Gold Bar Sell Price per Tael - The Gold Bar Sell Price per Tael indicated under "Gold Price" are subject to change without notice. For reference, 1 tael = 37.429g = 1.2033oz

Our store shall not be obliged to make the Merchandise available for collection unless presented with the 'Ready for Collection' email and a valid identification document of the person named as collector when the order is collected.

We insure each Merchandise during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your designated address or is collected. The recipient or collector is required to sign and confirm receipt for any goods delivered or collected, at which point the risk of loss of the Merchandise passes to you. If the recipient or collector is not the original purchaser, such as in the case of a gift delivery, then you agree that the recipient or collector’s signature shall constitute evidence of delivery and fulfilment of your order, as well as the passing of risk.
