Terms of service
These terms govern engagement with BLASO Provenance Pty Ltd (ACN 698 788 528) (the entity, we, us). They are published on this entity-attribution surface for transparency. Specific products and transactions are governed by the terms presented at the relevant customer storefront at the point of sale.
1. About this surface
This website is the entity's published identity reference. It is not a storefront and does not itself offer goods or services for sale or accept payment. Retail offerings operate under separate terms at blasoprovidence.com (numismatic) and blasobullion.com (investment-grade bullion).
2. Regulatory framework
We provide bullion designated services as a reporting entity under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth). All dealings are subject to our AML/CTF Program, which includes customer due diligence, sanctions and PEP screening, ongoing monitoring, suspicious-matter reporting, and record-keeping obligations.
3. Customer due diligence
Before we provide a designated service, and at any point our risk-based triggers require, you may be asked to provide identity information and to complete electronic identity verification. For companies and trusts we identify beneficial owners and the individual acting for the customer. Where we are unable to complete required customer due diligence, we will not provide the service.
4. Settlement methods
We accept settlement by card or bank transfer only. We do not accept physical cash and do not accept cryptocurrency or other virtual assets at any interface. This is an enforced control and applies without exception.
5. Right to refuse
We reserve the right to decline, delay, or discontinue services where customer conduct or ML/TF risk is inconsistent with our policies.
Without limiting the above, we may decline or discontinue a relationship or transaction where: required customer due diligence cannot be completed; continuing would create unacceptable money-laundering, terrorism-financing, proliferation-financing or sanctions risk; a sanctions or PEP match arises that we cannot clear; or we are required to do so by law. Any such action is taken subject to the tipping-off prohibition in section 123 of the AML/CTF Act and to any obligation to report or freeze. Where information is collected or a transaction is delayed for these reasons, we may state only that it is required to meet our AML/CTF obligations.
6. Sanctions
We screen customers, beneficial owners and supplier counterparties against the DFAT Consolidated List. We will not proceed with, and will freeze where required, any dealing involving a person or entity subject to Australian sanctions. We do not work around a genuine sanctions match.
7. No advice
Information published on this surface is provided for entity-identification and transparency purposes. It is not financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and must not be relied upon as such. The market value of bullion fluctuates.
8. Privacy
Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy policy and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia.
10. Dispute resolution
Disputes should first be raised with us so that we may attempt to resolve them directly. The dispute-resolution contact is the AML/CTF Compliance Officer, compliance@blaso.com.au. See Contact for full details.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is the version published on this page, identified by the effective date above.
