The consigned goods remain the property of the Craftsperson until the
works are sold and paid for in full by the purchaser. At no time does
the Gallery own the consigned works. Copyright to the work remains with
the Craftperson at all times.
COMMISSION
Upon sale of the consigned works, the Gallery is entitled to a commission
of 40% of the selling price.
SALES & BILLING
The Gallery shall forward to the Craftperson the amount equal to the selling
price of the consigned goods minus the Gallery's commission. Payment will
be made the the 15th day of the month following the sale of the work.
(example: payment for work sold during the month of May will be made by
June 15th).
SALES TAX
The Craftperson will indicate whether he/she is registered for sales tax
and has a tax Registration Identification Number or Licence. This number
is __________________.
SHIPPING
The Craftperson is responsible for crating, packaging, shipping and insuring
of the work to the store. Once received in good condition, the Gallery
will assume insurance costs.
RETURN OF WORKS
The Gallery will return unsold works to the Craftperson at the request
of the Craftperson with two weeks notice. Work unsold after a length of
time considered appropriate by the Gallery may be returned to the Craftperson
by the Gallery, after notifying the Craftperson in advance.
COMMISSIONED WORK
The Gallery may negotiate on behalf of the Craftperson for the sale of
work that has not yet been created. The terms of these negotiations are
subject to the approval of the Craftperson. The purchaser shall pay a
deposit of 50% upon ordering this work. The Craftperson shall ship the
commissioned work to the store. The Gallery shall ensure that the purchaser
receives the commissioned work and that final payment is made in full
to the Gallery, at which time the amount of the sale will be entered into
the monthly receipts and payment will made as outlined above.
FINDER'S FEE
The Craftperson shall charge the same retail value for the same item whether
selling directly to a customer or at the store. If the Craftperson knowingly
sells any of her/his work directly to a purchaser who is buying the work
because they saw an example of it for sale in the Gallery, the Craftperson
shall pay the Gallery a commission of 10% of the selling price to the
Gallery in recognition of the effort made by the Gallery to promote and
sell the Craftperson's work.
INSURANCE
The Gallery shall provide insurance for fire, theft, and breakage for
works received in good condition at the store. The Gallery shall not be
liable for loss or damage to the works if the damage is due to inherent
faults attributed to the design, construction or materials of the works.
Insurance value of the works is 60% of the selling price, payable upon
settlement of insurance. The Gallery cannot provide any compensation for
natural deterioration caused by heat, humidity or circumstances beyond
its control. If the works require special handling or avoidance of particular
environments, the Craftperson must inform the Gallery of special needs
prior to display of the work.
CRAFTPERSON'S WARRANTY
The Craftperson warrants that he/she is the creator of the works he/she
presents for sale and owns the copyright to these works. The Craftperson
warrants that these works are free from any encumbrances. The Craftperson
shall not, without written consent from the Gallery, make any agreements
concerning the works that are consigned under this agreement.
PHOTOGRAPHS &
BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
The Craftperson shall allow photographs of the works and biographical
information to be dis-played in the store, given to clients, and used
for promotional & publicity purposes.
RECEIPT & ACCEPTANCE
OF WORK
The Gallery at its sole discretion has the right to select which works,
if any, are to be accepted and received on consignment. Notification of
receipt of goods will only be sent if work is missing or damaged. The
Craftperson will then be responsible for processing any insurance claims
against the carrier.
DISPLAY OF WORK
The manner and length of time the work is displayed is at the sole discretion
of the Gallery. The premises include the store and any other display case
or window in any other location used to promote the work and/or the store.
I have read and agree with the terms set forth in this agreement.
