In the event any provenance is tendered with Goods that provenance if you wish us to use it fully in support of the sale must be licensed by the author of the provenance to be reproduced in any medium to promote the sale of the Goods; we must be told if it is not so licensed in which case a short description of the provenance will be added to the entry prepared by us for the Goods to which the provenance relates.

4.3 We shall create and provide for so long as the Goods remained consigned to us at least one dedicated image or reproduce an image provided by you if the Goods are not delivered to us but are offered for onward sale during our appointment cleared by you beforehand for reproduction in any medium by us of each item (or pair as the case may be) viewable by any accessor to our Website to be uploaded onto our Website accompanied by an appropriate description and details pertaining to measurements of the Goods. We shall where we are satisfied that it is lawful to do so also include scanned copies of any documentary provenance in relation to the said Goods. We shall also indicate the identity of the Consignor unless you instruct us not to do so but we shall in that case make it clear to any buyer accessing our Website that the goods are held by us on Consignment as agent for an undisclosed principal. We shall use all proper endeavours to ensure that your consigned goods are uploaded into the appropriate page on the Website.

4.4 Your Goods will be advertised on our website at the current authorised price (or any lesser price under which you subsequently authorise us to offer the Goods) to which we are obliged to add the appropriate rate of VAT at the point of sale in the United Kingdom to provide the Selling Price at the time of purchase and reproduced in the Shopping Bag. The total price due will however have subtracted from it that VAT element in respect of any Goods purchased by any buyer who is resident or which has its principal place of business outside the European Union. The price excludes delivery charges likewise inclusive of VAT to which a corresponding contra will be provided for a supply outside the European Union.

4.5 You will be notified of the proposed entry's posting on the Website for approval prior to uploading. The entry should be checked immediately by you to ensure that there is nothing erroneous or inaccurate about either the contents of the image or the entry accompanying it and when it has been approved it will be uploaded.

4.6 The copyright and rights in the nature of copyright in all promotional materials (other than those supplied by you to us) are reserved to us and neither they nor the entry sent to you for approval can be used or reproduced by you without our express prior written consent



5. OUR COMMISSION, EXPENSES, LOCAL SALES TAXES AND EXPORT DUTIES

5.1 IMPORTANT: You must arrange for the discharge of all and any export duties customs dues and or sales taxes payable (if any) in connection with the exportation of the Goods from the location where the Goods are held immediately prior to consignment to us, or if not to us, to the buyer of the Goods. Failure to do so may prevent the goods being delivered to the buyer and a breach of contract for which you would be responsible.

5.2 Our headline commission is 50% (net of VAT if leviable) of the highest authorised price (net of VAT if leviable) in £ Sterling sought by the Consignor for Goods sold by us to a buyer.

5.3 Discounts from the headline commission rate may be negotiated at our discretion and will be applicable if the Consignor both consigns and delivers to us Goods of a total net value exceeding £5000 in any twelve month period and those Goods are both sold for at least £5000 net of VAT, delivery charges and or import duties and customs dues, and paid for within that twelve month period.

5.4 In the event any Goods are not sold within the period stipulated in the Consignment Form by the Consignor or 12 months whichever the sooner and either the Consignor withdraws those Goods or we notify the Consignor that those Goods are withdrawn from sale the Consignor will account to us for a sum of not more than 7% of the highest authorised price of the Goods in £ Sterling to cover administrative expenses and a contribution to insurance whilst in our possession and all costs of returning the Goods to the Consignor.

5.5 The Consignor will be responsible for all shipping charges excluding onward import duties or customs dues incurred in connection with the Consigned Goods and if we are instructed to consign those Goods to the buyer you will reimburse us any expenses we incur either for delivering those Goods to the buyer or of paying for their return or collection through exercise by a Consumer buyer of his right of cancellation under the EC Directive on Distance Selling

5.6 VAT at the rate prevailing from time to time in the United Kingdom will be added to our commission payable and expenses reimbursable by Consignors resident or whose principal place of business is within a member state of the European Union. PLEASE NOTE: in the event you [the Consignor] instruct us not to disclose your identity to an onward purchaser we are required to levy payable VAT on any onward sale of your Goods to a buyer resident or whose principal place of business is in a member state of the European Union. In consequence the price of the goods authorised by you at the time of sale will attract VAT at the current prevailing rate in the UK but we shall not levy commission on the VAT element of the total price to the buyer.

5.7 Our commission is payable to us by you when the Goods are actually bought by the buyer and the Consignor bears the risk of a default in payment by the buyer. Our commission remains payable even if the Buyer defaults. We accept electronic payment by Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, American Express, Delta, and Maestro. Payment is routinely debited and cleared from the buyer's account upon acceptance by us of the buyer's order. Buyers warrant to us that the credit/debit card that is being used is the buyer's. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of the buyer's payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we do not deliver the Goods to the buyer; if the Goods you have asked us to sell are held otherwise than by us we shall tell you as soon as possible of any want of authorization and you should not release the Goods to the buyer. Whilst we use all reasonable endeavours to secure payment by credit, charge or debit cards and we use Protex we cannot guarantee that the card used is in fact that of the buyer or that the Card is not being used by someone under the age of 18 (or in the USA under the age of 21) or that the transaction may not be reversed by the card issuer at a subsequent stage. We shall not however charge commission on purchases which are cancelled under the EC Directive on Distance Selling but reserve the right to charge you an administration expense of 7% of the highest authorised price (+ VAT if payable) in relation to those Goods if they remain unsold at the end of the sale period or 12 months whichever the sooner.

5.8 Our Commission and any reimbursable expenses respectively (with VAT at the then prevailing rate if payable) will ordinarily be deducted from the sums we receive from the Buyer's card issuer.

5.9 In the unlikely event of a transaction being reversed otherwise than because of the EC Directive on Distance Selling we shall be entitled to charge interest on unpaid commission from the date when the transaction is reversed until the date of payment by you at a rate of 4% per annum above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank plc from time to time in force.

5.10 If any Goods remain unsold and you have not collected them or paid us to return them to you more than three calendar months after the end of the sale period or 12 months from their delivery to us and regardless of any termination of our authority to act as your agent you by contracting with us in respect of those Goods irrevocably authorise us to sell those Goods. After we have recouped both our expenses of storage and sale (including any reconditioning or further cleaning) and 30% of the price we have realised on sale of those Goods we shall remit the net sale proceeds if any to you.

5.11 Nothing in these terms or under law shall prevent you and us agreeing a sale of any Goods to us in respect of which we shall agree a discount from the price for the Goods you have stipulated at the time we agree the sale less a discount not exceeding 30%. In the event we buy those Goods from you we shall not be entitled to recover any reimbursable expenses. In the event such a sale is concluded between us we shall account to you for the discounted sale price within 30 days following receipt of your (VAT) invoice addressed to us either by payment into your nominated bank account or at your request if you maintain an account with us to offset any unpaid commission or reimbursable expenses due to us.



6. ACCOUNTING AND PAYMENT TO YOU

6.1 We shall raise an invoice (or VAT Invoice as required for residents in a member state of the European Union) addressed to you recording the sale within seven days immediately following the sale — it will be transmitted to you by email and a hard copy will be sent within fifteen working days thereafter

6.2 We account to you in £ Sterling in respect of the net proceeds of sale after deduction of commission reimbursement of expenses and VAT if payable no later than 30 days following the sale. We may at our discretion agree to your request to account to you for the net proceeds of sale in a currency other than £ Sterling but you will be responsible for any commission payable on currency conversion and for any fluctuation in exchange rates which may adversely affect the total net proceeds of sale. You will be responsible for all bank charges incurred in the remittance of the net proceeds of sale.

6.3 If the Consignor is not a Consumer and we have agreed to operate an account for you we shall agree with you periodic accounting in respect of Goods sold within the material periods

6.4 IMPORTANT The Consignor must be aware and accepts that it is open to any Buyer using a Credit Card to effect a transaction within the United Kingdom to seek reimbursement from the Card Issuer in the event the Goods bought under the transaction are defective or defects emerge within three months following their purchase. In the event that occurs and any attempt is made to recoup monies from us, you will indemnify us in respect of any such claim and be responsible for payment of our Commission and reimbursement of expenses respectively (with VAT if payable)



10. DESCRIPTION AND PRICE

10.1 Our terms of business and our commission rates are set out (together with the value added and/or any other applicable tax) on this Website. Our Commission can be determined at any time by reference to the Consignor's highest authorised price for the pertinent consigned Goods and multiplying that price by the commission percentage rate. If VAT is payable by you as a Consumer resident within a member state of the European Union, and your Goods are not exempt goods for the purposes of VAT, the current applicable rate of VAT in the United Kingdom is 17.5%. Thus for example

(a) in relation to Goods consigned to us by you under your name with the highest authorised price of £1,000 (and a Selling Price therefore of £1,175) our commission on a sale of those goods at that or a lower authorised price would be £500 + VAT of £87.50 totalling £587.50

(b) If you consign those goods to us with a request not to disclose your identity a Highest authorised price of [say] £1,000 (and a Selling Price therefore of £1,175) has to have added to it £175 VAT if a sale is made to a person resident or whose principal place of business is within a member state of the European Union. Our commission however at that or a lower authorised price would remain £500 + VAT of £87.50 totalling £587.50.

10.2 Unless otherwise specified the services offered under these terms and conditions are those of consignees and agents for sellers of Vintage Clothes and accessories. Consignor Consumers who may have specific requirements concerning Goods consigned to us or which they wish us to sell on their behalf must contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We remain your agent even though your identity is not disclosed. You should also be aware that if there is a default in payment by the buyer you and not we are entitled to pursue the buyer for payment for the goods; alternatively if there is a complaint by the buyer about a hidden or undeclared defect; in either event your personal information would have to be disclosed at that stage.

10.4 Whilst every care is taken to ensure that we perform our services to the best of our ability we cannot guarantee that the Goods which have been sold to a Consumer buyer and then returned under the EC Directive on Distance Selling will be as new and free from defect or material alteration since the Goods were consigned to us.
