Welcome to Godfather Antiques.
By accessing or using our website https://godfather-antiques.com, purchasing items, or engaging in our services (including AI Appraisals and Vendor listings), you agree to the following Terms & Conditions. Please read these terms carefully before using our site.

1. Introduction

Godfather Antiques (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates as a premium online marketplace and appraisal platform specializing in authentic antiques and collectibles. By using our website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and agree to comply with all applicable laws. If you do not agree to these terms, please discontinue use of our site immediately.

2. General Use of the Website

You may browse our website freely; however, use of certain features (such as purchasing, appraisals, or vendor access) requires account registration. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials. You are responsible for all activities under your account and agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach.

3. Products and Descriptions

We make every effort to ensure that all product descriptions, images, and pricing are accurate. However, antiques are unique and may naturally include imperfections, wear, or age-related variations. Minor discrepancies in color, size, or condition are inherent to antique merchandise and do not constitute defects or misrepresentation. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any product listing at any time without prior notice.

4. Pricing and Payments

All prices are listed in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified. Payments are processed securely through third-party gateways (such as PayPal, Stripe, or WooCommerce Payments). By submitting payment information, you authorize us to charge your method of payment for applicable orders, services, or subscriptions. Taxes and shipping charges will be calculated and displayed at checkout. We reserve the right to cancel any order suspected of fraudulent activity or pricing error.

5. Shipping and Delivery

We ship antiques with utmost care. Shipping costs and estimated delivery times are displayed during checkout. Once dispatched, tracking information will be provided where available. Godfather Antiques is not responsible for delays caused by couriers, customs, or events beyond our control. International orders may be subject to import duties or taxes, which are the buyer’s responsibility.

6. Returns and Refunds

Due to the nature of antique items, all sales are considered final unless otherwise stated. Exceptions may be made at our discretion for significant undisclosed damage or misrepresentation verified by our support team. If an issue arises, you must contact us within 7 days of delivery with photographic evidence. Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method within a reasonable timeframe.

7. AI Appraisal Services

Our AI Appraisal System provides estimated valuations based on item descriptions and images submitted by users. All AI-generated appraisals are reviewed by professional human appraisers to ensure accuracy where applicable. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI valuations are estimates only and not legally binding.
• Final appraisal certificates are issued only after expert verification.
• Godfather Antiques and its appraisers are not liable for market fluctuations or future resale values.

By using our appraisal system, you grant us permission to analyze uploaded data (including images and descriptions) solely for appraisal purposes.

8. Vendor Accounts and Consignments

Approved vendors may list antiques for sale through the Godfather Antiques Marketplace. Vendor accounts are subject to approval and compliance with our authenticity and conduct guidelines. By listing items, vendors agree to:

• Accurately describe each item’s condition, provenance, and authenticity.
• Ship sold items promptly and securely.
• Comply with all applicable trade and export laws.
• Grant Godfather Antiques permission to display, market, and promote listed items on external platforms (e.g., eBay, Facebook, Instagram).

Godfather Antiques reserves the right to suspend or remove any vendor account that violates these terms or misrepresents merchandise.
