(d) when you call for the delivery of bullion that is stored by Queensland Mint in Unallocated Storage or otherwise, there may be a delay in delivering the bullion to you caused by a number of factors, including the requirement for the bullion to be barred and delivered, and you acknowledge that Queensland Mint is not liable for any loss caused to you by any such delay.

Some of these factors include the quality and current demand and general market sentiment. Therefore, because both bullion bars and bullion coins can go down as well as up in value, investing in them may not be suitable for everyone.
