About us
We are pleased and excited to announce the new collaboration between Acropolo.com Zurqieh FZE and a European Firm to bring you Acropolo.com - the first and only online venue dedicated solely to the sale of antiquities and ancient art. While it was previously necessary for collectors to sift through numismatic and other art catalogues and websites to find high-quality antiquities from reputable sources to add to their collections, Acropolo.com now assembles the cream of antiquities dealers in one place so that collectors can easily see at once new offerings of ancient objects. Not only does Acropolo.com place antiquities and ancient art at the fingertips of collectors, but its strict code of ethics offers peace of mind concerning questions of authenticity of objects and reputation of dealers.
Dealer Code of Ethics
Effective March 2, 2023
Acropolo.com was established to simplify and reduce the cost of e-commerce for the sale of antiquities and ancient art and to develop friendly relationships between collectors, dealers, and the general public.
Acropolo.com recognizes that all dealers are legally obligated to operate their businesses in accordance with applicable local and national commercial laws. A further requirement for participating as a dealer on the Acropolo.com site is strict adherence to the Acropolo.com Dealer Code of Ethics. This Code is intended to promote mutual trust between dealers and collectors through fairness, honesty, and integrity.
Each Acropolo.com dealer pledges the following:
1. I subscribe to the terms of the Acropolo.com Dealer Code of Ethics and agree to be bound by the provisions thereof, including any revisions as may be made from time to time.
2. I will conduct my business in a professional and ethical manner and will exercise common sense and courtesy in my professional dealings to ensure that no discredit is brought to Acropolo.com or other dealers.
3. I will freely share my numismatic knowledge with collectors or interested individuals and will encourage research into ancient numismatics and history.
4. I will promptly deliver items I sell unless other arrangements are made with the buyer.
5. I will promptly pay for items I purchase unless other arrangements are made with the seller.
6. I will not intentionally misrepresent the value of any item, and I will not take unfair advantage of any buyer or seller.
7. I will take all reasonable actions to correct errors made in normal transactions.
8. I will not knowingly deal in forgeries, copies, or reproductions without full and clear description of their nature and will never knowingly represent such items as genuine.
9. I will not knowingly deal in stolen antiquities or ancient art. I will report such items to the proper authorities if they are offered to me.
10. I will vouch for the authenticity of items I sell and will have no time limit on the return of items discovered to be non-authentic. I will offer a full cash refund upon return of any such item, including the cost of return shipping.
11. I will allow returns within a period not less than fourteen (14) days from the recorded date of shipping or ten (10) days following attempted delivery or receipt by the purchaser, whichever is the earlier date. This return policy does not apply to group lots, items advertised and sold "as-is", items altered after receipt, or other items as specifically agreed upon beforehand with the customer.
12. I will explicitly state my terms and conditions of sale in my Acropolo.com store.
13. I will not intentionally misrepresent items I sell, including the use of misleading or unclear images, historical conjecture, unsubstantiated provenance, artificial or applied patinas or other undisclosed surface alterations, or other tactics that may artificially inflate the perceived value of an item. I will provide clear images and will disclose all surface defects in my listings.
14. I will operate in a fair and honorable manner and will not defame the character of my competitors or the quality of their products.
Violations of ANY provision of the Acropolo.com Dealer Code of Ethics shall constitute conduct prejudicial to Acropolo.com and may result in account suspension, termination, and/or legal action.
