ANNEXURE B

Terms of Consignment/Sales

The terms of conditions of Consignment/Sales form the Consignment/Sales Agreement (“The Agreement”) and create a contract between you (“You” or “Your”) and Renascence Studio Pty. Ltd. and its affiliates (“Renascence Studio”, “We”, “Us” or “Our”). Please read this agreement carefully.

These terms require the use of arbitration on an individual basis. You must agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement if you wish to consign or sell goods with Renascence Studio Pty. Ltd. and by accessing or using any part of the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all the Terms of this agreement, then you may not access the site and use these Services.

Our Terms of Service herein (“TOS”) are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement to which You are agreeing, and such TOS additionally apply to any of Your and Our activities under this Agreement.  

Once you agree to this agreement, it will remain in effect and govern all transactions between you and Renascence Studio until you or we terminate it pursuant to Section 5 of this agreement.

Consignees should be aware of and understand our Cancellation & Return policy.

1. Overview; Account Creation

We market and sell luxury designer items, jewellery, watches, art, home goods and other goods. 

To sell goods with Us, You first need to provide your contact and payment information. 

Once the account is created, You can request that We:

(a) sell the goods that You ship to Us or that We have collected from You (collectively, the “Property”) on a consignment basis (“Consignment”),
(b) subject to Our eligibility requirements, purchase the Property from You (“Get Paid Now”)
(c) trade in the Property in exchange for Store Credit (a “Trade-In”), or
(d) transact a combination of Consignment, Get Paid Now, or Trade-In transactions with respect to Your Property.

2. Consignment

(A) Ownership

If You choose Consignment for Your Property, You, not Renascence Studio, will still own the Property (the “Consigned Property”), even after You deliver the Consigned Property to Us. 

After We receive the Consigned Property from You, We will send You an email confirming the items of Consigned Property have been received. 

Once We have further evaluated, inspected, and authenticated the item(s), we will notify you of the status of Your goods and the list price(s) assigned to those Accepted Goods (as defined in Section 2(b)(ii) below)). 

The Accepted Goods will then be processed and listed as available for sale on the Site and, at Our discretion, may also concurrently be displayed and available for purchase at Our Melbourne Store. 

Please note that all list prices are determined at Our sole discretion unless We have previously agreed otherwise with You in writing. 

(a) Delivery Of Consigned Property; Risk of Loss

(i) We accept the risk of loss or damage to Consigned Property only when:

1. We take physical possession of the Consigned Property, or

2. You use Our approved, pre-paid shipping label and approved method of shipment to ship Your Consigned Property and the label is processed into Our approved shipping vendor’s tracking system and You actually provide the Consigned Property to the vendor (“Approved Transit”).

A “Shipment” means items of Consigned Property that are placed with a carrier or vendor and shipped together under one Approved Transit shipping label.

The timing of all claims is critical especially when we need to follow up with the postal service or courier about damage that was incurred in transit. If claims are lodged outside of the prescribed time frame, you risk having your claim rejected.

(ii) If an item of Consigned Property is damaged, stolen, or lost while in Our possession or during Approved Transit, it will be treated as Sold (as defined in “Title to Property” at Section 2(e) below) and We will pay You a Commission (defined in “Commissions and Payment for Consigned Property” at Section 2(f) below) on that item.

The Commission will be based on the damaged, stolen, or lost item’s estimated Net Selling Price (defined in Section 2(f) below), which will be determined solely by Us. 

This payment represents the amount You would have received in the normal course of a sale, less any discounts or promotions applied under this Agreement, and the payment will be processed and paid under the regular schedule of Commission payments as described in Section 2(f) below. 

(iii) In the event You request return of an item of Consigned Property, and it is damaged during shipping, You must notify us and then return the damaged item to Us in compliance with Our shipping instructions and at Our expense along with any evidence We request to validate Your damage claim.

If We can validate, and ultimately agree with Your damage claim, We will provide the Commission. 

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, this remedy will constitute Your sole remedy and entire recourse against Us for Consigned Property that is damaged, stolen, or lost and is in lieu of any other remedy otherwise available as a matter of law or equity. 

(B) Consigned Property Acceptance Conditions

(i) Upon receipt of an item of Consigned Property, We will evaluate it to determine, in Our sole discretion, its quality, value and authenticity based on proof provided by You. The item’s condition will affect the valuation and pricing.

(ii) We only accept Consigned Property that We think is appropriate for resale on the Service. We reserve the right to accept or reject an item for any reason, but generally to be accepted, the Consigned Property must be at a minimum (in Our sole discretion):

1. owned by You; you covenant, represent and warrant that you have all rights, authority and clearances necessary for Us to sell the item on your behalf, and will perform your rights and obligations under our Terms of Service.

2. accompanied by any documents necessary to transfer the ownership of the item to the buyer once sold.

3. in very good to excellent condition;

4. listed in Our current Brand list at the time of evaluation (see our Brands List herefor items currently being accepted);

5. authentic (which means, among other things, that the item is not counterfeit, fake, stolen or subject to any geographic sale restrictions, such as in the case of grey market goods); and

6. consistent with the representations and warranties You make when Your Property is consigned with Us as described in Section 8 below.

(iii) If We decide to reject an item, Renascence Studio may terminate the eligibility of certain item(s) at any time and without advanced notice.

(C) Consignment Period and Return of Property

(i) Subject to termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the “Consignment Period” for each item of Consigned Property begins on the date an item is Accepted by Us for Consignment and ends 365 days thereafter, even if this Agreement has been terminated during that time by You or Renascence Studio. 

At any time during the Consignment Period, and subject to this provision, You may request in writing that We return any Accepted Item (a “Return Request”), so long as the Accepted Item has not already been Sold. 

Once We receive Your Return Request, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the Accepted Item from the Site, and from our Melbourne Store, if applicable, before it is Sold.

1. If Your Return Request is made any time prior to the end of the Consignment Period, We will return the Accepted Item to You and will charge You the costs of return and such costs will be deducted from any pending Commissions You may have with Us (if available).
If You do not have enough pending Commissions available to cover the Costs (as defined below in this Section), We will not return the item to You unless and until You pay for the costs of return prior to shipment. “Costs” of return are equal to:
(a) a fee of $100 per fine art piece and $15 per every other item, which fees reflect Our up-front costs of storing, cataloguing, and photographing the item in preparation for sale, plus
(b) applicable shipping costs.
2. If an Accepted Item has not been Sold and You have not collected Your Property within six (6) months after the end of the Consignment Period, You relinquish all right, title, and interest to such Accepted Item and authorise Us to re-purpose or donate the item to a charity of Our choice without further notice or any compensation to You.
3. If an Accepted Item has not been Sold by the end of the Consignment Period, We will contact You and, at Your option:
(a) return the Accepted Item to You, or
(b) re-purpose or donate the item to a charity of Our choice. 
(ii) If at the end of the Consignment Period We are unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts (and in any event within thirty (30) days of Our first attempt), to contact You at the email or physical address We have on file for You any items of Consigned Property may be re-purposed or donated to a charity of Our choice.

(D) Efforts to Sell; Price
(i) As long as You are in full compliance with this Agreement. We will display on the Site (and, at Our sole discretion, display and make available for sale at our Melbourne Store), and will make commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Consigned Property.
(ii) Unless We have agreed otherwise in writing to a specific price at which a specific item must be Sold, We, in our sole discretion, will determine the initial selling price for each item of Consigned Property (the “Initial Sale Price”) based on Our evaluation of that item, together with Our determination of the current resale market price for that item. 
The original manufacturer’s suggested retail price of an item, while sometimes listed on the item product description page on Our website, is used as a reference only.     
(iii) In order to market and promote the sale of each item of Consigned Property, We may in Our sole discretion apply an immediate discount to the item of Consigned Property, which will affect its Initial Sale Price, unless We have otherwise agreed in writing that such discount is not permitted, or if We have agreed that a discount is permitted only with Your prior written consent.   
(iv) We may offer additional discounts and promotions during the Consignment Period, at Our sole discretion and without notice to You, to efficiently market and sell the Consigned Property, unless We have otherwise agreed in writing that further discounts are not permitted, or We have agreed that such discounts are permitted only with Your prior written consent.
(E) Title To Property

You will continue to own and have title to each item of Consigned Property until that item is “Sold” or until the end of the Consignment Period. An item will be considered Sold at the earlier of when:

(i) We sell it to a customer and the Consigned Property is not returned to Us within the period specified in Our then-current Return Policy (see return policy, which may be updated, modified and changed from time to time); or

(ii) it is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed while in Our possession.
(F) Commissions And Payment for Consigned Property
(i) Commissions.
We will pay You a Commission on each item of Consigned Property that is Sold. The Commission will be equal to the item’s Net Selling Price (as defined in Section 2(f)(ii) below) multiplied by the applicable Commission Rate (as defined in Section 2(f)(iii) below). 
The Commissions You receive for Sales of Your Consigned Property are the sole compensation You will receive under this Agreement for such sales. This Section describes how Commissions are created and when and how they are paid. 
(ii) “Commission Window” means for the first Commission Window, the period that begins on the date Your first item of Consigned Property is Sold and ends at the end of the month that is three (3) months after such date and, for subsequent Commission Windows, the three (3) month period that begins on the following day after the expiration of the previous Commission Window.
(iii) “Net Selling Price” means the price at which an item of Consigned Property is Sold, less applicable discounts and promotions and excluding taxes and shipping.
“Net Sales” means the total amount We received from sale of Your Consigned Property within a Commission Window, less applicable discounts and promotions and excluding taxes and shipping. For example, if You had three items of Consigned Property that Sold in a Commission Window whose Net Selling Prices were $5,000, $100, and $4,000, Your Net Sales for that Commission Window would be $9,100.
(iv) Commission Rates.

17. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION SECTION CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. 

(a) Scope
For all matters, disputes, or claims between You and Us arising from or related to this Agreement or Your relationship with Us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, including any dispute about the interpretation or application of this dispute resolution provision or the enforceability, revocability or validity of this arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision (“Disputes”)  will be resolved by the processes and procedures described in this Section 17, first amicably and then through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court. YOU AND RENASCENCE STUDIO PTY. LTD. WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO A HEARING AND TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES RESOLVED IN COURT.
(b) Amicable Resolution 
In the event of a Dispute, You and The Renascence Studio will first negotiate in good faith to informally resolve the Dispute. You may notify Us of a Dispute by emailing Us at support@renascencestudio.com.au or by writing a letter to Renascence Studio 346 Williamstown Road, Yarraville, VIC. 3028.
The notice must specifically describe the nature of the Dispute and the relief You seek. 
You and Renascence Studio will have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of such a notice to try to resolve the Dispute (or such a longer period as You and Renascence Studio may agree upon in writing). 
If the Dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after You or Renascence Studio receives notice from the other party in accordance with “Notices” at Section 16 above, You or Renascence Studio can submit the Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions below. 
(c) Binding Arbitration 
Except for any controversy or claim properly filed and pursued in small claims court on an individual basis (as explained in “Small Claims Court Option” in Section 17(d) below), any Dispute that remains unresolved after You and The Renascence Studio attempt to resolve it informally will be resolved by binding arbitration brought on an individual basis, in which case either You or We may commence confidential binding arbitration under the terms in this Section 17(c). The arbitration will be administered by the Victorian small claims tribunal, as amended by this Agreement.
The place of arbitration will be determined by the regulator. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, selected by the Victorian Small Claims Tribunal in accordance with the applicable rules. The arbitration may be held by teleconference or by video conference unless the arbitrator determines upon request by You or by Us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel, the expense and other pertinent circumstances.
If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination shall be made by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision(s) shall be final and binding.
The arbitrator shall have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. Any award of the arbitrator may be entered as a judgement in any court having jurisdiction.
(d) Small Claims Court Option 
If You entered into this Agreement individually, You have the choice to submit any Dispute to VCAT, if applicable, instead of having the Dispute resolved by arbitration. You can make this choice either before or after the Dispute is submitted for resolution by Arbitration. 
(e) Class Action and Litigation Waiver 
BY ENTERING INTO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL FOR ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP AND WAIVE THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. COMBINING INDIVIDUAL PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES IS ALSO NOT ALLOWED. DISPUTES REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY, REVOCABILITY OR VALIDITY OF THE FOREGOING CLASS ACTION WAIVER SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY THE VICTORIAN SMALL CLAIMS TRIBUNAL, PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE ARBITRATION RULES, AS DETAILED IN THIS SECTION 17. 
(f) Severability. 
Should any portion of this Section 17 be deemed unenforceable by the arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, the unenforceable portion will be severed without affecting the remainder of this Section 17, which will remain in full force and effect. 
If the severance of any portion of Section 17 results in any claims proceeding on a class or representative basis, those claims will be litigated in court and not in arbitration; the parties agree to stay any litigation of those claims pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

19. Miscellaneous

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between You and Us as a result of this Agreement or Your having access to and use of the Service. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, there will be no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

(a) Holding on to Consigned Property during the Consignment Period
If you choose to keep the Consigned Property in your possession during the consignment period, the following shall apply:
1. You must be contactable during the agreement period, and You must ensure that the Consigned Property can be made available to Us for final processing within 48hrs of receiving notification by us that the Consigned Property has been sold.
2. Throughout the consignment period, You must make every effort to maintain the original condition of the Consigned Property as described and photographed upon entering into this agreement.
3. You must notify Us immediately via email if You become aware of any changes to the Consigned Property; not limited to damage, alterations, loss, theft or any other changes that might void or alter the agreement.
4. If the Consigned Property is returned to Us for purchaser handover but has been found not to be in its original condition as represented in the agreement, this will be deemed a misrepresentation of the Consigned Property and a breach of the agreement.
5. In the event that the original condition of the Consigned Property has changed We will be obligated to notify the purchaser immediately and provide them the option to proceed with or forfeit the transaction.
Should the purchaser forfeit, We reserve the right to bill You for any fees associated with the resolution of the matter, including but not limited to any third-party charges incurred.
If the purchaser proceeds with the transaction and negotiates a reduction in price as a reflection of the changed condition, then the shortfall between the original price and the reduced price must be borne by You. This will be in the form of a deduction from Your payout by the shortfall amount, and any applicable third-party fees.
(b) Circumventing this Agreement
If we find a buyer for your item and you circumvent this sale by selling the consigned goods yourself, or by a third party, this will be considered a breach of this agreement. It will therefore be treated as a sale and the commission will be due and payable to Renascence Studio.
(c) Product & Condition Definitions
Definitions in these Terms are broad guidelines, more specific condition definitions relating to the category and or type of Products are included on the Site product listing and serve as the effective condition definition for that item.
Condition definitions are subject to change at Our discretion. If you are uncertain about your Item’s condition, please seek guidance by contacting consign@renascencestudio.com.au
