Consignment Agreement

Consignment Agreement
This agreement is made between the undersigned person(s) as Consignor and Jen Azevedo, known as Consignee *
Articles Consigned:

Saddles will be covered by our insurance policy during shipment if they are properly wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a Double-Wall box or a reinforced Single-Wall box. Single-Wall boxes with no reinforcement will not be covered.
*There is a $35 cleaning fee that will be deducted from your payout if packing peanuts are used*
The domestic incoming shipping fee is $100 (contact us for international shipping fees) and will be deducted from the Consignor’s payout once the saddle sells, so there is no shipping payment due up front. We recommend using a box 14″x14″x24″ up to 18″x18″24″. There may be a surcharge for larger boxes. Please note: UPS charges a “Large Package Surcharge” for boxes 26″x26″x26″ and larger. This surcharge is typically around $300 and will be deducted from your payout if your box qualifies for this surcharge.
All incoming and outgoing shipments will be through Jen Azevedo's FedEx account. We do not allow incoming or outgoing shipments from outside of our shipping account for insurance purposes.
Highline Tack will act as an agent for the Consignor; therefore, the articles placed with Jen Azevedo will remain the property of the Consignor until sold, picked up by Consignor, or shipped back to Consignor.
Consignor’s articles are covered by Jen Azevedo’s business insurance policy while in Jen Azevedo’s care. The consignment items are also shipped with full insurance that will cover any loss or damage during shipment.
Items placed on consignment will be priced at the amount that is agreed upon by the Consignor and Consignee.
All sales or discounts on consignment saddles will be discussed with Consignor prior to execution.
Consignee will secure full payment for the consigned saddle prior to being shipped out or picked up for a trial period.
Consignor agrees to allow saddle to be shipped out on trials with prospective buyers for periods of 5-8 days. During which time, saddles will be test ridden.
Consignor also agrees for saddle to be displayed at Consignee vendor booths at horse shows.
Consignor agrees to allow the saddle to be transported in a car and taken to prospective buyers for test rides on local day trials.
Consignor shall not hold Jen Azevedo responsible for wear, damage, fire, or theft during trial periods. However, the saddle will be paid for in full prior to being sent out on a trial. If it is returned with excessive wear and/or damage, the repair cost or difference in value will be deducted from the trial customer’s refund. Therefore, the full Consignment payout will still be paid out to the Consignor unless otherwise agreed upon.
Jen Azevedo agrees to advertise all consigned saddles on JenAzevedo.com, Jen Azevedo’s Facebook and Instagram pages, and relevant Facebook groups.
Once the saddle has arrived and is listed as a consignment, the saddle can only be transitioned to a Trade-In for an additional $150 fee. However, a saddle that arrives as a Trade-In can be transitioned to a Consignment at no additional cost.

Consignment Selling Period and Terms:

Consignor is responsible for all shipping charges between Consignor and Consignee.
Consignor must give 7 days' notice before removing consigned saddle from Consignee once saddle is in inventory for consignment. The saddle will be shipped back to the original address.
Consignor may not advertise or sell consigned saddle on other sales platforms while the saddle is consigned with Consignee.
There is a $100 fee for removing a consigned saddle from our stock to cover cleaning and advertising time and expenses. The owner is also responsible for the shipping costs (incoming and outgoing).
Jen Azevedo’s saddle consignment fee is 30%. The minimum consignment fee is $500.
We appreciate clean consignment saddles, but we do not charge a fee for cleaning newly consigned saddles.
Please note that there is a $40 charge for consignment saddles that arrive without a cover (can be a generic cover)

Payment Policy:

Once the consignment saddle has sold, full due payment will be made to the consignor within 3 business days. We process payouts twice a week.
Please do not contact us for updates on your saddle’s status after your saddle has gone out on trial. If a trial is successful, we will contact you to pay you out (see above).
Full due payment to the consignor refers to the payment paid for the saddle from the buyer to Jen Azevedo, minus the consignment fee. The incoming shipping fee with full insurance will also be deducted from the payment to the Consignor.
Consignor can choose their payout in the form of a mailed check, through PayPal (no fees will be taken out), or by bank transfer (with a $20 bank fee deducted). Consignor may also choose to apply some or all of the payment to store credit with Jen Azevedo.
