| Ethics |
| Pandora & Pendragon™ appraisers
must comply with all laws and regulations of the country, state, region
and municipality in which they practice. In the event of any inconsistency
between any law or regulation an appraiser shall adhere to the highest
standard represented by the subject law, regulation, or pertinent organization's
appraisal code of ethics. Our appraisers shall honestly and fairly represent
their professional competency, qualifications, facilities, and capabilities.
Our appraisers shall arrive at an independent numerical conclusion based
on knowledge, thorough research and experience without regard to undue
influences. |
| Appraisal Methodology |
| Our
appraisers shall use current industry approved appraisal methodology
and research procedures to prepare their appraisal report. Our appraisers
shall not charge a fee based on a percentage of the valuation found,
the financial outcome from the use of the appraisal, or whether the appraiser
will purchase the item of property being appraised. Fees for appraisals
will be based on the expected degree of difficulty or complexity, to
be determined prior to evaluation, and agreed upon in advance by the
client. |
| Conflict Of Interest |
| We
will avoid and withdraw from situations that represent a conflict of
interest. Every attempt will be made to make accurate appraisals of
our in-house products, to provide accurate descriptions, and keep their
evaluations in line with the industry. In so doing, we will indicate
to you, the customer, when an appraisal for our products has been made
by an in-house appraiser. You may request, at your expense, to have an
appraisal performed by an in dependant professional as a substitute for
any in-house appraisal. |
| Appraising Art |
| Our
primary jewelry represents the work of an artist or artists and the
value cannot be determined purely by the weight, quantity, or quality
of the basic materials. The artist or artists themselves are primarily
responsible for placing a value on their works. As such, these values
represent reasonable competitive market estimates based on the value
of the materials, the quality of the labor, and the complexity of the
product. Some of the products are constructed from unique materials and
represent a one of a kind product whose value is known only to the person
who loves it. It is our responsibility to accurately describe the materials
employed in the construction of these works and to not abuse the desires
of the client and to place reasonable values on our products. |
