WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIGN WITH WRIST ICONS?

We may offer to purchase your watch outright, rather than consign it.

 

- If we consign it, naturally the higher the value of your watch, the lower our percentage commission. This starts with watch values of circa €20,000 and above.

 

- With large physical overheads, traditional retailers and auction houses, are restricted in their competitivity. As an online business, we can price your watch for liquidity, but you still make a better return.

 

- In the digital market, we have a worldwide reach and a strong social-media presence.

 

- All watches are fully insured whilst in our custody.

 

- The average time-frame between consignment and sale, is eight weeks. Naturally there are exceptions, and if after three months, your watch still hasn't sold, you may request its return, at our expense.

 

- We guarantee the authenticity of a watch for life and give a 24-month warranty on all our watches after sale, so quality-control is very important to us.

 

- We can arrange for servicing or valeting of your watch, if either is appropriate, before listing. We will discuss this with you before agreeing to the consignment.

 

- We transfer the proceeds of sale to you, on the 11th working day after we've received them.

 

THE ADDED VALUE OF WRIST ICONS AS A CONSIGNOR

Once a price has been agreed upon, we will photograph, document, and style your watch and then present in on the WRIST ICONS webshop. We will reach our custiomers through our social media audience.

 

CASH or CONSIGNMENT? WRIST ICONS Will Give You A Choice

 

We can offer two options. Firstly a consignment sale whereby we do all the work on your behalf and return the proceeds of a sale to you less a modest commission. Alternatively we can offer a cash purchase which is quick and simple but would generally return 20-30% less than a consignment option. Your choice.

CONSIGNOR TERMS

1. RECITALS

WHEREAS, WRIST ICONS  is engaged in the sale and marketing of luxury designer items, jewelry, watches;

WHEREAS, Consignor owns certain items, described and itemized on WRIST ICONS  online and other forms, or collected by an employee of WRIST ICONS  as part of its direct consignor service (collectively, the "Property"), and wishes to sell that Property; and

WHEREAS, Consignor desires that the Property be sold on consignment by WRIST ICONS, and WRIST ICONS  wishes to sell that Property on behalf of Consignor;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, and expressly subject to the provisions of WRIST ICONS  then-current Returns Policy and Terms of Service (see WRIST ICONS  website at www.wristicons.com), which terms may affect and amend the terms hereof, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

2. DELIVERY OF PROPERTY; RISK OF LOSS; INSURANCE

Consignor makes the Property available to WRIST ICONS  on a consignment basis. WRIST ICONS  accepts the Property from Consignor on a consignment basis only. All risk of loss or damage of the Property will pass to WRIST ICONS  when the Property is in WRIST ICONS  physical possession. Consignor retains all risk of loss or damage to the Property while the Property is in transit; provided, however, that if Consignor uses WRIST ICONS  approved method of shipment to WRIST ICONS  (using WRIST ICONS  label and its integrated DHL shipping arrangement), then WRIST ICONS  will insure or arrange for a third party to insure the Property against loss or damage in transit, up to the sale price. As used herein, a "shipment" means items of Property shipped together under one bill of lading.

Subject to the foregoing, WRIST ICONS  shall insure the Property in such amounts and against such risks as to which such goods are customarily insured, including insurance for theft and damage, and shall provide evidence of such insurance coverage to WRIST ICONS  as and when requested. If the Property is damaged or lost while in WRIST ICONS  physical possession, a Property Sale will be deemed to have occurred and WRIST ICONS  will reimburse Consignor in the amount of the Consignor’s Commission (defined below), based on the damaged or lost Property's net selling price(s), as determined solely by WRIST ICONS. This remedy shall constitute the sole remedy and entire recourse of Consignor against WRIST ICONS  and is in lieu of any other remedy available as a matter of law or equity.

3. ACCEPTANCE OF PROPERTY; CONDITION OF ITEMS

WRIST ICONS  only accepts clean items in very good to excellent condition. Upon receipt, WRIST ICONS  will evaluate the Property to determine its authenticity and quality. Condition issues may affect the value of the item. Items of Property that do not meet WRIST ICONS  authenticity or quality standards, or are not included in the Designer Directory (see WRIST ICONS  website at www.wristicons.com for currently accepted Property), will not be accepted and will be returned to Consignor at Consignor’s expense (see "Return of Property" below).

4. COUNTERFEIT ITEMS

Consignor will not provide counterfeit items for consignment. In the event WRIST ICONS  believes that any item of the Property offered or provided to it is counterfeit, WRIST ICONS  shall either refuse to take possession of such item, or to the extent WRIST ICONS  has taken possession of such item, WRIST ICONS  shall notify Consignor that it believes the item is counterfeit and, subject to applicable statute and government laws regarding the shipment of counterfeit goods, provide Consignor a reasonable opportunity to retrieve such item from WRIST ICONS. If Consignor does not retrieve such item from WRIST ICONS  within 120 days from the date of such notice, then WRIST ICONS  shall be entitled to treat such item as abandoned.

Consignor acknowledges and agrees that it is WRIST ICONS  policy that a consignor’s personal and business information may be requested by rights owners looking to trace the origin of counterfeit items. In the event of any such request WRIST ICONS  may provide such information in its sole discretion.

5. CONSIGNMENT PERIOD

The "Consignment Period" for an item of Property shall begin on the date the Property is received by WRIST ICONS  and shall end 180 days after acknowledgment of receipt. The Consignment Period may be extended upon mutual consent of both parties. After the Consignment Period, Consignor may request return of the Property. Return shipping expenses shall be paid by Consignor and WRIST ICONS  shall have no obligation to return such items unless and until Consignor has provided for shipping at its sole expense.

6. EFFORTS TO SELL; PRICE: €

Upon acceptance of the Property, WRIST ICONS  will display and make commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Property. Consignor acknowledges that WRIST ICONS  will designate the product category applicable to the Property. The initial selling price for the Property will be mutually set by WRIST ICONS  and customer in writing, and WRIST ICONS  will not change the price without first obtaining customers prior written approval. WRIST ICONS  reserves the right to run promotions on its website and by other means and to offer discounts to its customers at its sole discretion. Consignor acknowledges and agrees that items of its Property consigned hereunder may be advertised, displayed and sold with items belonging to other consignors.

7. TITLE TO PROPERTY

Title to and ownership in the Property will remain with Consignor until a Property Sale, as defined below. A "Property Sale" shall be deemed to have occurred if an item of Property is:
sold by WRIST ICONS  and not returned to WRIST ICONS  within the period specified in WRIST ICONS  then-current Return Policy (see WRIST ICONS  website at www.wristicons.com/service/shipping-returns/);

8. PAYMENT AND COMMISSIONS

On the sale of any item of Property, Consignor will receive the following Commission (as defined below). The following ranges below are "Net received funds". For example, if a transaction occurs with a sale price of €10,125, and we receive €9,821 "Net" after credit card fees, the commission rate will be 27%.

The Commission rates will reset at the Termination Date. WRIST ICONS  may at its sole discretion temporarily increase the Commission from time to time for promotional reasons.

The difference between the net selling price and the amount paid to WRIST ICONS  (the "Commission") shall be Consignor’s sole compensation under this Agreement. "NET SELLING PRICE" means the net revenue actually received from Direct or Indirect Sales of a product, less (a) any and all service and restoration fees, credit card, paypal, or other third party transaction or banking fees, normal and customary rebates, and cash and trade discounts; (b) sales, use and/or other excise taxes or duties; (c) insurance costs and outbound transportation charges; (d) import and/or export duties; and (e) amounts allowed or credited due to returns (not to exceed the original billing or invoice amount). The net selling price reflects all applicable sales commissions, stylist referral fees, promotions and other discounts applied directly to or associated with the sold item. WRIST ICONS  issues payment for Commissions on the 15th day of every month for a sale period beginning on the 1st of the previous month to the last day of the previous month. For example, payments issued on April 15th would cover the sale period from March 1 through March 31.

In the event of any dispute between the Parties, WRIST ICONS  shall have no obligation to pay any Commission or other amount otherwise due to Consignor, including without limitation amounts unrelated to the dispute, unless and until such dispute is resolved. WRIST ICONS  shall be entitled to withhold any Commissions (including any otherwise due) in full or partial satisfaction of any amounts due to WRIST ICONS.

9. RETURN OF PROPERTY

At any time during the Consignment Period, Consignor may require the immediate removal of all or some of the Property from WRIST ICONS  service, with reasonable written notice to WRIST ICONS. All costs of removing and returning the Property will be borne by Consignor and WRIST ICONS  shall have no obligation to return such items unless and until Consignor has provided for shipping at its sole expense. Additionally, if Consignor requests the return of Property prior to the end of the Consignment Period, there will be a fee of €700 per piece, plus any additional third party costs incurred to restore or repair the property, plus €75 per item for any other Property to cover WRIST ICONS  costs of storing, cataloging and photographing the Property, and Consignor will be responsible for shipping costs to and from WRIST ICONS.

10. TERMINATION

In addition to the one-year expiration first referred to above, either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason. Termination shall be effective when either Party serves written notice thereof on the other Party. Costs listed above under "Return of Property" will apply.

11. NO ASSIGNMENT

Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any interest herein without the other Party’s express prior written consent, except that WRIST ICONS  may assign this Agreement without Consignor’s consent in connection with any corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition.

12. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

Consignor acknowledges and agrees that these terms may be changed by notice posted on WRIST ICONS  web page at www.wristicons.com/service/sell-or-consign WRIST ICONS  will use reasonable efforts to communicate any such changes to Consignor (such as sending notice to an email address provided by Consignor), but WRIST ICONS  cannot guarantee that Consignor will receive such notices, or receive them in a timely manner.

Consignor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold WRIST ICONS  harmless from all damages, suits, litigation, awards, and costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs, that may arise out of WRIST ICONS  display or sale of the Property for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to civil or criminal suits over authenticity, legality, ownership, infringement of copyright or trademark, or any other claim or litigation.

WRIST ICONS  DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, RELATING TO ITS SERVICES OR ACTIVITIES HEREUNDER. IN NO EVENT WILL WRIST ICONS  LIABILITY HEREUNDER EXCEED THE NET AMOUNTS IT HAS ACTUALLY RECEIVED AS A RESULT OF SELLING CONSIGNOR’S PROPERTY HEREUNDER.
