CONSIGNMENT TERMS & CONDITIONS

Our Terms and Conditions Made Easy

We at our understand that legal documents can be difficult to interpret. We want to make things as easy as possible for you, so we have highlighted the key points you need to know.

Appointment of Blue Spinach
By agreeing to consign with us, Blue Spinach becomes the exclusive agent to represent your item(s). The item is not to be listed on any alternative platform or marketed by yourself.

Consignment Term & Termination of Contract
Our minimum consignment term is 4 months from contractual agreement. If you wish to take back your item(s) early for any reason, this will incur a fee of the full commission value per item.

You are welcome to drop the item(s) off to us given you have arranged an appointment and we have discussed the piece(s) with you. Alternatively, if you are unable to make it in, you are required to post the item(s) to us and provide notification of this prior.

At the end of the consignment period, you are more than welcome to take back your item(s) free of charge. Please notify us if you wish to terminate the consignment, and allow 7 days for us to prepare your item(s) for return.

Alternatively, you are required to notify us if you wish to extend the consignment period. We would discuss a markdown with you and advertise the piece(s) at the reduced price for a period of 4 months. Beyond this, if your item(s) has not sold we would look to return this to you.

Unfortunately, we cannot keep items on consignment indefinitely. If we do not hear from you within 2 weeks of your consignment term ending, we will donate your item(s) to charity.

If you wish to have your item(s) returned via a delivery service, we can arrange this for you. You will be required to pay for the service, and a quote will be provided from the relative delivery partner.

Payment for your Items
We process consignment updates and payments during the first week of the month following the sale. This is made by Direct Deposit to your nominated bank account. You will receive a notification by email which will include a copy of your latest sales summary and payment advice.

If you are a new consignor, you will receive an email requesting your banking details during this time. If you do not hear from us, this means your item(s) have not sold during that particular month.

Item(s) which are purchased on lay-by are paid for by the customer over a 2 month period. You will receive payment for the sale during the first week of the month following the lay-by completion.

Fees
We do not charge any additional fees outside of our commission rates.

If an item requires cleaning or repairs, you will be notified of this upon final inspection of your item(s). The details and cost for the work will be discussed with you prior to starting, and deducted from your next consignment payout. In the event your item(s) does not sell, you will be required to pay for the service before the return of your item(s).
