SELLIER KNIGHTSBRIDGE – SELLER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Version last updated: 26 July 2022

1. Welcome

1.1. Sellier Ltd. is a company registered in England and Wales (company number 11877014) with its registered address at 6 Cheval Place, London, England, SW7 1ES ("Sellier," "we," "our," or "us").

1.2. Sellier operates a consignment marketplace for the marketing and sale of luxury designer items where Sellier, acting as an intermediary between sellers and buyers, facilitates the quality control, authentication, sale and delivery of such items (the "Service").

2. Your relationship with us

2.1 These terms and conditions and any documents referred to within them (collectively, the "Seller Terms") set out the terms of your relationship with us when you access and use the Service as a seller. It is important that you read and understand the Seller Terms before using the Service. If you do not agree to these Seller Terms, you cannot use the Service.

2.1 You may only use the Service if you are a consumer. If you are a trader, professional or other corporate entity you may not use the Service.

3. Information about you

In order for us to be able to run the Service and pay you the proceeds of any sale, you are required to provide us certain contact, payment, billing, and other information. Your privacy is important to us. Please read our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use and share information about you.

4. Consigning your item(s) to Sellier and acceptance process

4.1 In order to consign your item(s) on the Service, you must complete the questionnaire we provide and provide any other information regarding your item(s) that we request.

4.2 You must provide at least three good quality photographs of each item to Sellier. Photographs must reflect the actual quality and external appearance of the item, as well as the presence of any faults. The use of stock photography is not permitted.

4.3 Once you submit a description and photograph(s) of your item to us, we will assess the item to determine whether it is suitable for sale on the Service and its sale value. We will tell you in writing whether we accept or reject the item and, if accepted, our valuation of the item. The valuation that we agree with you will be the "Estimated Sale Value".

4.4 We may accept or reject items at our discretion but factors that we will consider when determining whether to accept an item include:

a. whether the item complies with the condition and cleanliness requirements in this section 4 and the warranties and representations you give in section 5 below; and

b. whether we are accepting the relevant brand or category of item at the time. We may change our accepted brands or categories of item at any time in our discretion.

4.5 Once we agree an Estimated Sale Value with you, it is your responsibility to promptly organise and pay for the secure delivery of the item to us (see section 7 below for further details).

4.6 We do not accept damaged items. Where the description or photographs of an item you submit to us reveal any damage or fault, the item may be rejected at our discretion.

4.7 If a damaged or faulty item is sent to us, we reserve the right to either:

(a) return the item to you at your expense (we will not return the item until we have received payment for delivery); or

(b) charge you up to £25 for the cost of repairing the item before we market the item on the Service.

4.8 Repair costs will either be deducted from your pay-out if your item sells or payable by you on collection of your item if the item does not sell (in accordance with section 7 below).

4.9 All items consigned to us must be in freshly cleaned and marketable condition (as determined by us in our discretion). Any and all original packaging and receipts must also be provided with the consigned items. If, in our reasonable opinion, a consigned item does not meet the required level of cleanliness, we reserve the right to send the item for professional dry cleaning. Any such dry cleaning will be charged to you at a rate of £15 per item. Once we have possession of an item, we reserve the right to have the item dry cleaned in accordance with this section without giving notice to you. If your item sells, we will deduct any dry cleaning costs from your pay-out. If your item does not sell, you must pay us for dry cleaning costs before collecting or organising delivery of your item.

4.10 If we decide to reject an item after we have previously accepted and taken physical possession of the item from you, we will either:

(a) return the item to you at our expense; or

(b) contact you to arrange for you to collect the item from us. 

5. Your rights to consign and sell the item(s)

5.1 By consigning any item to Sellier, you warrant and represent that:

(a) the item complies with any description (including photographs) you provide to Sellier;

(b) you are the owner of the item and you have the right to consign and sell the item;

(c) your consignment and/or sale of the item on the Service will not violate the rights (including intellectual property rights) of any third party; and

(d) the item complies with all applicable laws and regulations and is authentic (i.e. it is not counterfeit, fake, stolen, unapproved or offered for sale and/or consignment in violation of a third party's rights or in an unauthorised territory).

6. Authenticity

6.1 In this section, an item is "Inauthentic" if it has any one or more of the following characteristics: (i) fake, (ii) counterfeit, (iii) unapproved, (iv) potentially or allegedly stolen; or (v) offered for sale/consignment in violation of a third party's rights or in an unauthorised territory.

6.2. Sellier is committed to preventing the sale of Inauthentic goods and takes steps to verify the authenticity of all items sold on the Service. 

6.3 You are responsible for ensuring the authenticity of all items you wish to consign to us and sell on the Service and you acknowledge and agree that (to the extent permitted by applicable law) you will be solely responsible for all losses or damages that you or we incur in connection with any and all claims relating to or arising from the authenticity, ownership, legality or intellectual property rights in or to your item(s).

6.4 If we or our third party authenticators: (i) determine that an item may be Inauthentic, (ii)cannot confirm the authenticity of the item, or (iii) conclude that the item is Inauthentic, we will notify you. If we need further evidence to be able to confirm the item's authenticity, we will give you the opportunity to provide such additional evidence. If we conclude that an Item is Inauthentic (including where you have failed to provide satisfactory evidence), we may make a final determination that the item is Inauthentic and may, in our sole discretion:

(a) destroy or return the relevant item to you at your expense (if we return the item to you, we reserve the right to charge you a £100 administration fee prior to returning the item to you);

6.6 We authenticate all Hermes bags with a third party authenticator. If you wish to consign a Hermes bag and it does not come with the original receipt, you will be responsible for paying the £120 cost of authentication (even where the bag does not sell on the Service). If your bag is successfully authenticated, we will provide you with a copy of any certificate of authenticity provided by the third party authenticator.

7. Terms of sale, delivery and return

7.1. If you choose to sell an item using the Service, you will remain the legal owner of the item unless and until the item is sold to a buyer. You do not grant and Sellier does not obtain any rights of ownership or title to your item, even after you deliver the item to us.

7.2 You are responsible for all risk of loss and damage to your item until the point that we confirm that we have taken physical possession of it. If your item is lost or damaged in transit to Sellier, you may be entitled to compensation under the terms of your agreement with the relevant third party shipping provider.

7.3 We accept the risk of loss or damage to your item if your item is damaged, lost or stolen whilst it is in our physical possession and we have confirmed our receipt of the item in writing. In such circumstances, we may (in our discretion) (i) repair the defective item; or (ii) compensate you for the loss or damage incurred, up to a maximum value of the pay-out that you would have received if item had sold on the Service for the Estimated Sale Value.

7.6 For items with an Estimated Sale Value of less than £2,500:

(a) we reserve the right to amend the price of the item on the Service by 15% above or below the Estimated Sale Value at any time if we feel that this will help achieve a sale. You will be paid based on the actual Net Sale Value of the item in accordance with section 8 below; and

(b) after an item has been listed for sale on the Service for 2 calendar months and has not sold (whether or not discounted in accordance with section 7.6(a) above), you may withdraw the item from the Service by giving us written notice. You may then collect your item from Sellier. If you do not inform us that you wish to withdraw your item, we reserve the right to reduce the price of the item by up to 40% below the Estimated Sale Value. We will notify you before doing so.

7.7 For items with an Estimated Sale Value of £2,500 or more, unless we have agreed otherwise with you in writing, we reserve the right to amend the price of the item on the Service by 40% above or below the Estimated Sale Value at any time if we feel that this will help achieve a sale.

7.9 You may request the return of your item by writing to us at shop@sellierknightsbridge.com at any time during the Consignment Period (as long as the relevant item has not been sold). Once we receive a return request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the item from the Service and contact you to arrange your collection of the item from us or delivery of the item to you (which shall be at your expense and shall be payable before delivery).
