Consignment/Sales Agreement
FashioNica LLC
Effective Date: October 28, 2024
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THIS CONSIGNMENT/SALES AGREEMENT (THE “AGREEMENT”) CREATE A CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU (“YOU” OR “YOUR”) AND FASHIONICA LLC (“FASHIONICA”, “WE”, “US” OR “OUR”). PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.
THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS, IN COURT PROCEEDINGS OR CLASS ACTIONS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.
YOU MUST AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT IF YOU WISH TO CONSIGN OR SELL GOODS ON FASHIONICA MARKETPLACE, AND BY CLICKING “AGREE” YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Our Terms of Service located at https://fashionica.com/policies/terms-of-service (“TOS”), are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement to which You are agreeing, and such TOS additionally apply to any of Your and Our activities under this Agreement.
ONCE YOU AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, IT WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT AND GOVERN ALL TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND FASHIONICA UNTIL YOU OR WE TERMINATE IT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
OVERVIEW; ACCOUNT CREATION
We market and sell (and provide a marketplace for marketing and sale of) luxury designer handbags and other items. To sell an item with Us, You first need to create a seller account and provide Your contact and payment information. Once the account is created, You can request that We (i) sell the items that You ship to Us or that We have collected from You (collectively, the “Property”) on a consignment basis (“Consignment”), (ii) subject to Our eligibility requirements, purchase the Property from You for resale (“Upfront Purchase”), (iii) trade in the Property in exchange for Site credit (a “Trade-In”), or (iv) transact a combination of Consignment, Upfront Purchase, or Trade-In transactions with respect to Your Property.
CONSIGNMENT
If You choose Consignment for Your Property, You, not FashioNica, will still own the Property (the “Consigned Property”), even after You deliver the Consigned Property to Us. After We receive or pick up the Consigned Property from You, We will send You an email confirming the items of Consigned Property have been received. Once We have further evaluated, inspected, and authenticated the item(s), You will be able to log into Your Account through Our website, applications, or other services (collectively, the “Service”) to view the status of Your items and the list price(s) assigned to those Accepted Items (as defined below)). The Accepted Items will then be processed and listed as available for sale on the Service. Please note that all list prices are determined at Our sole discretion unless We have previously agreed otherwise with You in writing.
Delivery Of Consigned Property; Risk Of Loss
We accept the risk of loss or damage to Consigned Property only when (i) We take physical possession of the Consigned Property, or (ii) You use Our approved, pre-paid shipping label and approved method of shipment to ship Your Consigned Property and the label is processed into Our approved shipping vendor’s tracking system and You actually provide the Consigned Property to the vendor (“Approved Transit”). A “Shipment” means items of Consigned Property that are placed with a carrier of vendor and shipped together under one Approved Transit shipping label.
If an item of Consigned Property is damaged, stolen, or lost while in Our possession or during Approved Transit, it will be treated as Sold (as defined in “Title to Property” below) and We will pay You a Commission (defined in “Commissions and Payment for Consigned Property” below) on that item. The Commission will be based on the damaged, stolen, or lost item’s estimated Net Selling Price (defined below), which will be determined solely by Us. This payment represents the amount You would have received in the normal course of a sale, less any discounts or promotions applied under this Agreement, and the payment will be processed and paid under the regular schedule of Commission payments as described below.
In the event You request return of an item of Consigned Property, and it is damaged during shipping, You must notify us and then return such damaged item to Us in compliance with Our shipping instructions and at Our expense along with any evidence We request to validate Your damage claim. If We can validate, and ultimately agree with, Your damage claim, We will provide the Commission.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, this remedy will constitute Your sole remedy and entire recourse against Us for Consigned Property that is damaged, stolen, or lost and is in lieu of any other remedy otherwise available as a matter of law or equity.
Any claim by You for a damaged, stolen, or lost item must be made to Us in writing within sixty (60) days of the day that You became aware or should have reasonably become aware of the alleged damage, theft, or loss. In the case of a damaged item, We may have minor damage to an item repaired by a certified repair service within a commercially reasonable amount of time and to re-list the item for sale by You at a price We determine.
Consigned Property Acceptance Conditions
Upon receipt of an item of Consigned Property, We will evaluate it to determine, in Our sole discretion, its authenticity, quality, and value. The item’s condition will affect the valuation and pricing.
We only accept Consigned Property that We think is appropriate for resale on the Service. We reserve the right to accept or reject an item for any reason, but generally to be accepted, the Consigned Property must be at a minimum (in Our sole discretion): (1) in fair to pristine condition; (2) authentic (which means, among other things, that the item is not counterfeit, fake, stolen or subject to any geographic sale restrictions, such as in the case of gray market goods); and (3) consistent with the representations and warranties You make in the “Your Representations, Warranties, and Indemnification” below. If an item meets Our criteria for acceptance, the item will be considered an “Accepted Item.”
Consignment Period And Return Of Property
Subject to termination of this Agreement as described herein, the “Consignment Period” for each item of Consigned Property begins on the date an item is Accepted by Us for Consignment and ends either (i) when the item is Sold (as defined below); or (ii) 365 days thereafter, even if this Agreement has been terminated during that time by You or FashioNica. At any time during the Consignment Period, and subject to this provision, You may request in writing that We return any Accepted Item at your expense (a “Return Request”), so long as the Accepted Item has not already been Sold. Once We receive Your Return Request, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the Accepted Item from the Service, and from any of Our retail store locations, if applicable, before it is Sold, and return such Accepted Item to You pursuant to the terms of the Return Policy outlined below.
All Return Requests are subject to return fees and other conditions as set forth in the Return Policy.
If an Accepted Item has not been Sold by the end of the Consignment Period, We will contact You and, at Your option and Our expense: (A) return the Accepted Item to You, in accordance with the terms of the Return Policy, or (B) re-purpose or donate the item to a charity of Our choice.
If at the end of the Consignment Period We are unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts (and in any event within thirty (30) days of Our first attempt), to contact You at the email or physical address We have on file for You, any items of Consigned Property may be (A) subject to further discounting, in Our sole discretion, and sale, including items of Consigned Property for which specific pricing was agreed between You and Us in advance as set forth below, (B) re- purposed, or (C) donated to a charity of Our choice, in all cases without further notice to or consent from You.
Efforts To Sell; Price
As long as You are in full compliance with this Agreement, We will display the Accepted Item on the Service and will make commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Consigned Property.
Unless We have agreed otherwise in writing to a specific price at which a specific item must be Sold during the Consignment Period only, We, in our sole discretion, will determine the initial selling price for each item of Consigned Property (the “Initial Sale Price”) based on Our evaluation of that item, together with Our determination of the current re-sale market price for that item. The original manufacturer’s suggested retail price of an item, while sometimes listed on the item product description page on Our website, is used as a reference only.
In order to market and promote the sale of each item of Consigned Property, We may in Our sole discretion apply an immediate discount to the item of Consigned Property, which will affect its Initial Sale Price, unless We have otherwise agreed in writing that such discount is not permitted. We may offer additional discounts and promotions during the Consignment Period, at Our sole discretion and without notice to You, to efficiently market and sell the Consigned Property, unless We have otherwise agreed in writing that further discounts are not permitted.
Title To Property
You will continue to own and have title to each item of Consigned Property until that item is “Sold” or until the end of the Consignment Period. An item will be considered Sold at the earlier of when we sell it to a customer and the Consigned Property is not returned to Us within the period specified in the Return Policy; or it is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed while in Our possession.
Commissions And Payment for Consigned Property
Commissions. We will pay You a Commission on each item of Consigned Property that is Sold. The Commission will be equal to the item’s Net Sales (as defined below) multiplied by the applicable Commission Rate (as defined in below). The Commissions You receive for Sales of Your Consigned Property are the sole compensation You will receive under this Agreement for such sales. This section describes how Commissions are created and when and how they are paid.
Definitions
“Net Selling Price” means the price at which an item of Consigned Property is Sold, less applicable discounts and promotions and excluding taxes and shipping. “Net Sales” means the total amount We received from sales of Your Consigned Property, less applicable discounts and promotions and excluding taxes and shipping.
We will publish the applicable commission rates at https://www.fashionica.com/pages/community-curation-how (the “Commission Rates”) and use such Commission Rate to calculate the commission (the “Commission”) You receive for each item of Consigned Property that is Sold (which We may update and modify from time to time).
We may also, from time to time in Our sole discretion and without notice to You, (i) for promotional reasons, offer special Commission Rates that apply only to specific item categories, are offered for a specific period of time, or that have other special conditions, or (ii) make other changes to its Commission structure and the Commission Rates, such changes to be effective as of the date they are published on the website as set forth above.
Payments. We typically begin processing Commission payments on the 15th day of every month for sales of Consigned Property that occurred during the previous month. For example, payments processed on April 15th would cover the sales period from March 1 through March 31. Payments will be made to You by direct deposit, in the form of Site credit, by physical check or, another payment method mutually acceptable to You and Us. Should You choose to receive payment by paper check, You may, in our sole discretion, be charged a processing fee.
The timing of processing and delivering Commission payments will vary by the payment method You select but will typically take at least two business days (provided, however, that these times are estimates only and are subject to change).
Payment processing services may be provided by a number of third party payment processors. By agreeing to these terms or continuing to use the Services, You agree to be bound by the applicable terms of service for each of those providers, as the same may be modified from time to time. As a condition of Us enabling payment processing services through these payment processors, You agree to provide Us accurate and complete information about You and your business, and you authorize Us to share it and transaction information related to Your use of the payment processing services provided by such payment provider.
Your Information. If you create an account and sell an item with or to Us, You will be required to provide contact, payment, billing, and other information. All information You provide to Us must be (and must at all times during the term of this Agreement remain) true, accurate and complete. In order to receive Commissions, refunds or other payments, You must provide Us with all necessary information, including but not limited to a valid email address, postal address, first and last name, and bank account information. We will not be responsible for communication errors should Your information be inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for ensuring that You can receive emails from Us, and We are not responsible for any emails that were not received by You because they were blocked or filtered as spam. If You fail to provide Us with accurate and up to date information: (a) We will not be responsible for any misapplied payments or payments sent to a wrong address, and (b) any unclaimed funds may be subject to collection by governmental authorities under applicable unclaimed funds and escheat laws. We have no obligation to You if any of Your unclaimed funds are turned over to governmental authorities.
Disputes. If there is a Dispute (as defined in “Informal Dispute Resolution”), between You and Us relating to Your Consigned Property, We will have no obligation to pay any Commissions or other amounts due to You, including without limitation, amounts unrelated to the Dispute, unless and until the Dispute is resolved. We may withhold any Commissions due to You (including any amount due for Sold items of Consigned Property not subject to the dispute) and setoff such Commissions in full or partial satisfaction of any amounts You owe to Us.
UPFRONT PURCHASE
Certain items of Property may be eligible for Our Upfront Purchase program. If We choose Upfront Purchase for Your eligible items of Property, You agree to sell and relinquish all right, title, and interest to the items of Property so designated (the “Upfront Purchase Property”) to Us for an amount equal to the offer price We communicate to You (the “Offer Price”) as set forth more fully below.
Further Inspection and Authentication; Request for Additional Information
To submit a request for the Upfront Purchase option, You must deliver the relevant Property to Us for consideration and provide all relevant information required by this Agreement. Once we receive Your Property, We will evaluate it to determine, in Our sole discretion, the Property’s condition and authenticity in a manner consistent with the way in which We authenticate Consigned Property. If We decide not to provide an Offer Communication to You (as defined below) or accept the Upfront Purchase Property for Consignment or Trade-In (as defined below), the Upfront Purchase Property will be returned to You in accordance with the terms of the Return Policy at Our expense.
In addition to any other information required, You may be asked to provide additional documentation and/or information concerning Yourself and/or the Upfront Purchase Property, including all documentation or information We request to comply with local, state and federal law (including Our obligation to report Property received to the proper authorities as required by applicable law and to file Forms 8300 with the Internal Revenue Service to report high value cash transactions where applicable.)
Determining the Offer Price; Accepting or Rejecting the Offer
If We decide to purchase any of Your Upfront Purchase Property, We will determine the Offer Price for each item using factors that We deem to be appropriate. The Offer Price(s) will be communicated to You via either Your Account or directly via email (the “Offer Communication”). The Offer Communication will remain in effect for a period of seven (7) days from the date it is delivered to You, at which time the Offer Communication will be null and void.
You may accept the Offer Price(s) by designating Your instructions for each item as indicated in the Offer Communication.
The Offer Communication may provide You with additional options to either (1) consign the Upfront Purchase Property at a stated Consignment price (the “Consignment Offer”) which will be treated as Consigned Property under the terms outlined above, (2) Trade In the Upfront Purchase Property in exchange for Site credit in the amount specified, or (3) request that the Upfront Purchase Property be returned to You at the address indicated in Our records. Such return will be in accordance with the Return Policy and at no cost to You and We will insure the Upfront Purchase Property for the full value of the Offer Price.
Risk of Loss
You are responsible for all risk of loss or damage to the Upfront Purchase Property until We take physical possession of it; however, if You use Approved Transit, We will assume the risk of loss or damage to the Upfront Purchase Property upon Shipment.
Payment for Upfront Purchase Property
Prior to payment of an Offer Price, You will be required to sign an acceptance form (“the Final Offer to Purchase”) confirming Your acceptance of the Offer Price for each piece of Property. We will issue payment for the Upfront Purchase Property in the amount stated in the Final Offer to Purchase, via the method of payment You provide. Payment processing services are provided by third party payment providers as set forth more fully above.
Consignment/Upfront Purchase Return Policy (the “Return Policy”)
ONCE YOU HAVE SIGNED THE FINAL OFFER TO PURCHASE, THE TRANSACTION IS COMPLETE. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS, RETURNS OR CREDITS ARE PERMITTED.
If an Accepted Item has not been Sold by the end of the Consignment Period, We will contact You and, at Your option and Our expense: (A) return the Accepted Item to You; or (B) re-purpose or donate the item to a charity of Our choice.
If an item cannot be authenticated by Us, but is not confirmed counterfeit, You have the option to pay us US $250 to return the item to you instead of destroying it; provided, We may also destroy or retain items in certain circumstances like those listed in “Unauthenticated Items” below.
For consignments, You will be charged a return fee of 1.99% of the offer price ($50 minimum) if You decide to cancel the consignment before the item sells. For Upfront Purchases, in rare cases, We may decide to allow you to cancel the sale after You ship the bag, but before You are paid for the purchase, in which case You will be charged a return fee of 1.99% of the offer price ($50 minimum).
UNAUTHENTICATED, COUNTERFEIT, OR STOLEN ITEMS
We are committed to preventing the sale of counterfeit and inauthentic goods and have implemented an authentication process to prevent the sale of counterfeit and stolen goods on the Service. However, You are responsible in the first instance for ensuring the authenticity of all items You provide to us. If We cannot confirm the authenticity of any item of Property You have provided, We may, in Our sole discretion, refuse to accept the item and return it to You in accordance with the Return Policy. If We determine at any time that an item is counterfeit, unapproved, allegedly stolen, or offered for sale in an unauthorized geographic market (for example, gray market goods), We will notify You that we have made such a determination and You will have an opportunity to provide proof of purchase or other proof of authenticity, including sales receipts and other indications of origin or provenance acceptable to Us. Any item that We finally determine, in Our sole discretion, to be counterfeit will not be returned to You and will be destroyed by a certified third-party vendor or, in Our sole discretion, turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency. We also fully cooperate with brands seeking to track down the source of counterfeit items and in addition to the rights above, if required by court order or directive of law enforcement, We may reveal to brands the contact information of sellers submitting goods that have been challenged as infringing, unapproved, suspicious, allegedly stolen, or offered for sale in an unauthorized geographic market (for example, gray market goods). We reserve the right, in Our sole discretion, to deny the use of Our services to any consignor who submits counterfeit items for sale on the Service.
We are subject to laws and regulations relating to claims that items offered to Us or on the Service are counterfeit, have been stolen, or otherwise violate applicable law. We take such reports seriously and will cooperate with law enforcement in all investigations.
TERMINATION; DENIAL OF SERVICE
You and We may each terminate this Agreement in writing at any time, for any reason. Termination will be effective on the date of such notice and any applicable costs relating to return of Consigned Property and terms relating to return of Consigned Property as set forth in the Return Policy will apply.
At FashioNica, We value Our customers and are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and positive experience for You, as well as for the members of Our team. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to deny or terminate access to Our services of any customer who engages in abusive behavior of any kind.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION SECTION CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US
Scope
For all matters, disputes, or claims between You and Us arising from or related to this Agreement or Your relationship with Us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, including any dispute about the interpretation or application of this dispute resolution provision or the enforceability, revocability or validity of this arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision (“Disputes”) will be resolved by the processes and procedures described in this section, first amicably and then through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. YOU AND FASHIONICA WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES RESOLVED IN COURT.
Amicable Resolution
In the event of a Dispute, You and FashioNica will first negotiate in good faith to informally resolve the Dispute. You may notify Us of a Dispute by emailing Us at cs@fashionica.com or by writing a letter to FashioNica LLC, 8583 Irvine Center Drive, #114, Irvine, CA 92618. The notice must specifically describe the nature of the Dispute and the relief You seek. You and FashioNica will have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of such a notice to try to resolve the Dispute (or such longer period as You and FashioNica may agree upon in writing). If the Dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after You or FashioNica receives notice from the other party in accordance with “Notices” above, You or FashioNica can submit the Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions below.
Binding Arbitration
Except for any controversy or claim properly filed and pursued in small claims court on an individual basis (as explained in “Small Claims Court Option” below), any Dispute that remains unresolved after You and FashioNica attempt to resolve it informally will be resolved by binding arbitration brought on an individual basis, in which case either You or FashioNica may commence confidential binding arbitration under the terms in this section. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS under the Consumer Arbitration Rules (available online at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879), as amended by this Agreement. The place of arbitration will be in the County of Los Angeles, California. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, selected by JAMS in accordance with the applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration may be held by teleconference or by video conference unless the arbitrator determines upon request by You or by Us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel, the expense and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination shall be made by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision(s) shall be final and binding. The arbitrator shall have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. Any award of the arbitrator may be entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction.
Small Claims Court Option
If You entered into this Agreement individually, You have the choice to submit any Dispute before a small claims court, if applicable, instead of having the Dispute resolved by arbitration. You can make this choice either before or after the Dispute is submitted for resolution by Arbitration.
CLASS ACTION AND LITIGATION WAIVER
BY ENTERING INTO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP AND WAIVE THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. COMBINING INDIVIDUAL PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES IS ALSO NOT ALLOWED. DISPUTES REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY, REVOCABILITY OR VALIDITY OF THE FOREGOING CLASS ACTION WAIVER SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY THE AAA, PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE ARBITRATION RULES, AS DETAILED IN THIS SECTION.
Severability
Should any portion of this section be deemed unenforceable by the arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, the unenforceable portion will be severed without affecting the remainder of this section, which will remain in full force and effect. If the severance of any portion of this section results in any claims proceeding on a class or representative basis, those claims will be litigated in court and not in arbitration; the parties agree to stay any litigation of those claims pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
MISCELLANEOUS.
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between You and Us as a result of this Agreement or Your access to and use of the Service. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, there will be no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
