CONSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

This Consignment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is between Amélie, and the individual consignor whose name is set forth below (“Consignor”). WHEREAS, Amélie is engaged in the business of selling and marketing of authentic, high-fashion designer items on a consignment basis; WHEREAS, Consignor desires to consign to Amélie certain items for the purpose of facilitating a sale of such items by Amélie pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and WHEREAS, if Consignor has previously entered into a Consignment Agreement with Amélie, this Agreement is intended to supersede such prior agreement in all respects and, for the avoidance of doubt, any Presented Items (as hereinafter defined) in Amélie’s possession as of the date of this Agreement will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement (and not by the terms and conditions of any previously-entered into Consignment Agreement).

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. GOODS TO BE RESOLD.

(a) Consignor shall make available to Amélie, on a consignment basis, such items as may from time to time be presented by Consignor and accepted by  (each, a “Presented Item”). Within approximately fifteen (15) to twenty-one (21) days after Amélie’s receipt of any Presented Item, Consignor will receive a notification email from Amélie (the “Receipt”) when pricing is uploaded into Consignor’s online account portal for review. Consignor will then have 48 hours from the notification email to request updates or return of items unapproved. The online portal account will set forth a list of the Presented Items, the initial selling List Price (as hereinafter defined) of each such Presented Item and for any Presented Items with an initial List Price of $500 or more, the Firm Minimum Net Selling Price (as hereinafter defined), if requested by Consignor, at the time of the Receipt.
(b) For any Presented Item with a List Price of less than $500, Amélie may lower the List Price of such Presented Item and/or include such Presented Item in ongoing promotions throughout the Consignment Period, in Amélie’s sole and absolute discretion, and without further notification to Consignor or approval of Consignor.
(c) For any Presented Item with an initial List Price of $500 or more, Consignor may request, through Consignor’s online account portal, that a Minimum Net Selling Price for such Presented Item be visible to Consignor and that such Minimum Net Selling Price for such Presented Item remain firm for the first 60 days of listing (the “Firm Minimum Net Selling Price”). Amélie may sell Presented Items with a Firm Minimum Net Selling Price only within the visible price range established by the range between the Firm Minimum Net Selling Price and the initial List Price, at any time, at Amélie’s discretion. Following such first 60 days of listing, and notwithstanding any Firm Minimum Net Selling Price, Amélie may send subsequent notification emails that alter the List Price and the Firm Minimum Net Selling Price for one or more such Presented Items. Failure by Consignor to dispute the terms of any Receipt or subsequent notification email altering the prices within forty-eight (48) hours of transmittal of such Receipt or notification email to Consignor shall signify Consignor’s acceptance of the terms of such Receipt or notification email. Consignor’s timely dispute with respect to any Presented Items reflected on such Receipt or notification email shall render each such Presented Item an Item Not Accepted (as hereinafter defined). Each Receipt and notification email shall be deemed to form a part of this Agreement and shall in all respects be subject to this Agreement. If at any time during the Consignment Period the List Price is lower than $500, the terms of paragraph
(d) immediately above will apply. For purposes of this Agreement, “List Price” shall mean Amélie’s determination of a Presented Item’s current resale value based on Amélie’s assessment of market comps, the designer, condition, age and type, and sale availability, which shall in all respects be in Amélie’s sole and absolute discretion subject only to the terms of this Agreement.

2. DELIVERY OF PRESENTED ITEMS.

Amélie shall be responsible for the cost arranging for transportation to one or more of Amélie’s warehouses and/or retail locations. Consignor assumes all risk of loss or damage to a Presented Item while it is in transit until the items are unpacked, audited and assigned an internal tracking number, subject to the terms and conditions herein.

3. ACCEPTANCE OF PRESENTED ITEMS.

Upon receipt and processing of a Presented Item, Amélie will evaluate the Presented Item to ensure the item is not the vintage and is one of the current accepted brands (accepted brands list) and will determine its authenticity and quality. Any Presented Item that is not a current accepted brand (accepted brands list) or does not meet Amélie’s authenticity or quality standards as set forth at (consignment guidelines) as both may be amended from time to time by Amélie (each, an “Item Not Accepted”), will be returned to Consignor, at Consignor’s expense within thirty (30) days after LGS’s receipt of such Presented Item. Amélie’s designation of any items as an Item Not Accepted shall in no way alter the effect of this Agreement as to any other Presented Item, if any. Final acceptance of any Presented Item is held by Amélie upon in-person inspection of items by Amélie’s central processing team only. Under no circumstances shall Consignor be eligible for the Commission (as defined below) or any other sales commission, profit sharing or otherwise as to any Item Not Accepted. In the event that an Item Not Accepted is not physically retrieved by Consignor from Amélie for a period of thirty (30) days or Amélie requests return shipping information from Consignor without adequate response for a period of thirty (30) days after initial request, all applicable Items Not Accepted shall be deemed abandoned to Amélie and Consignor shall have no further right or claim as to any such Items Not Accepted or any proceeds thereof.

4. STOLEN AND COUNTERFEIT PRESENTED ITEMS.

Consignor hereby represents and warrants that that he/she has no reason to believe that any Presented Item is stolen or “counterfeit” (i.e., modern forgery intending to deceive). If Amélie determines at any time that a Presented Item is stolen or counterfeit, Amélie will provide notice to Consignor and Consignor will have an opportunity to provide proof of purchase/other proof of authenticity acceptable to Amélie in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Consignor acknowledges that Amélie reserves the right to confiscate stolen or counterfeit items finally determined as such by Amélie and will not return such items to Consignor. If any Presented Item from Consignor is found to be stolen or counterfeit and Amélie is found liable for the sale of the stolen or counterfeit Presented Item, or if Amélie incurs any liability from such an item, Consignor acknowledges that the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 11 “Consignor’s Representations and Warranties and Indemnification” shall apply. Consignor’s personal information may be requested by law enforcement personnel, rights owners or their representatives looking to trace the origin of the stolen or counterfeit items. Consignor acknowledges and agrees that it is Amélie’s policy that Amélie may provide such information in its sole and absolute discretion.

5. EFFORTS TO SELL.

Consignor hereby grants to Amélie the right to illustrate and photograph any Presented Item, and to use such photographs, illustrations or images therefrom for such purposes as Amélie sees fit. Upon acceptance of a Presented Item, Amélie will display it in stores and/or online and will make commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Presented Item. Subject only to any Firm Minimum Net Selling Price, as applicable, and the process set forth in Section 1(c) above, as applicable, the List Price for each Presented Item will be set by Amélie as set forth in the Receipt, and may be changed from time to time by Amélie in its sole and absolute discretion without notice to Consignor. Amélie reserves the right to run promotions on its website, in its retail stores, and in other selling venues as part of its ongoing sales efforts; provided, however, that if any Presented Item is sold for less than the Firm Minimum Net Selling Price as provided in the Receipt, as applicable and during the first 60 days following the Receipt, Consignor shall receive the Commission (as set forth in Section 7 “Payment and Commissions”) calculated based on the Firm Minimum Net Selling Price provided in the Receipt.
