The bullion will be recognized as our client's property at all times, with GoldSilver Central acting as their custodian.

A maximum of two parties can be named owners of the account. Both parties will be authorized to release the bullion for the purposes of withdrawal and final delivery.

The "Certificate of Ownership" indicates that the bullion has exclusive allocation and is recognizable by a sole unit referenced with GSC. The certificate will indicate the Certificate Number, Commodity (Serial Number of Bar, if any), Seal Bag Number and Issue Date.
