Consignor Terms
Recitals
WHEREAS, Royalty Hour Watches is engaged in the sale and marketing of luxury designer items, jewelry, watches;
WHEREAS, Consignor owns certain items, described and itemized on Royalty Hour Watches online and other forms, or collected by an employee of Royalty Hour Watches 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 Royalty Hour Watches, and Royalty Hour Watches 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 Royalty Hour Watches then-current Returns Policy and Terms of Service (see Royalty Hour Watches website at www.royaltyhourwatches.com), which terms may affect and amend the terms hereof, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Delivery of Property; Risk of Loss; Insurance
Consignor makes the Property available to Royalty Hour Watches on a consignment basis. Royalty Hour Watches accepts the Property from Consignor on a consignment basis only. All risk of loss or damage of the Property will pass to Royalty Hour Watches when the Property is in Royalty Hour Watches 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 Royalty Hour Watches approved method of shipment to Royalty Hour Watches (using Royalty Hour Watches label and its integrated Federal Express shipping arrangement), then Royalty Hour Watches 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, Royalty Hour Watches 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 Royalty Hour Watches as and when requested. If the Property is damaged or lost while in Royalty Hour Watches physical possession, a Property Sale will be deemed to have occurred and Royalty Hour Watches 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 Royalty Hour Watches. This remedy shall constitute the sole remedy and entire recourse of Consignor against Royalty Hour Watches and is in lieu of any other remedy available as a matter of law or equity.
Acceptance of Property; Condition of Items
Royalty Hour Watches only accepts clean items in very good to excellent condition. Upon receipt, Royalty Hour Watches will evaluate the Property to determine its authenticity and quality. Condition issues may affect the value of the item and may require service and/or restoration prior to listing. Items of Property that do not meet Royalty Hour Watches authenticity or quality standards, or are not included in the Directory (see Royalty Hour Watches website at www.royaltyhourwatches.com for currently accepted Property), will not be accepted and will be returned to Consignor at Consignor’s expense (see “Return of Property” below).
Counterfeit Items
Consignor will not provide counterfeit items for consignment. In the event Royalty Hour Watches believes that any item of the Property offered or provided to it is counterfeit, Royalty Hour Watches shall either refuse to take possession of such item, or to the extent Royalty Hour Watches has taken possession of such item, Royalty Hour Watches shall notify Consignor that it believes the item is counterfeit and, subject to applicable statute and federal laws regarding the shipment of counterfeit goods, provide Consignor a reasonable opportunity to retrieve such item from Royalty Hour Watches. If Consignor does not retrieve such item from Royalty Hour Watches within 120 days from the date of such notice, then Royalty Hour Watches shall be entitled to treat such item as abandoned.
Consignor acknowledges and agrees that it is Royalty Hour Watches 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 Royalty Hour Watches may provide such information in its sole discretion.
Consignment Period
The “Consignment Period” for an item of Property shall begin on the date the Property is received by Royalty Hour Watches 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 Royalty Hour Watches shall have no obligation to return such items unless and until Consignor has provided for shipping and any service and restoration costs at its sole expense.
Efforts to Sell; Price: $
Upon acceptance of the Property, Royalty Hour Watches will display and make commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Property. Consignor acknowledges that Royalty Hour Watches will designate the product category applicable to the Property. The initial selling price for the Property will be mutually set by Royalty Hour Watches and customer in writing, and Royalty Hour Watches will not change the price without first obtaining customers prior written approval. Royalty Hour Watches 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.
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 Royalty Hour Watches and not returned to Royalty Hour Watches within the period specified in Royalty Hour Watches then-current Return Policy (see Royalty Hour Watches website at royaltyhourwatches.com/return-policy);
Payment And Commissions
On the sale of any item of Property, Royalty Hour Watches 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, service and restoration cost the commission rate will be 27%.
| $100 | $5,500 | 35% |
| $5,501 | $7,500 | 30% |
| $7,501 | $10,000 | 27% |
| $10,001 | $15,000 | 25% |
| $15,001 | $20,000 | 20% |
| $20,001 | $25,000 | 17.5% |
| $25,001 | $35,000 | 17.5% |
| $35,001 | $50,000 | 17.5% |
| $50,001 | $75,000 | 15% |
| $75,001 | Up | 15% |
The Commission rates will reset at the Termination Date. Royalty Hour Watches 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 Royalty Hour Watches (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. Royalty Hour Watches 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, Royalty Hour Watches 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. Royalty Hour Watches shall be entitled to withhold any Commissions (including any otherwise due) in full or partial satisfaction of any amounts due to Royalty Hour Watches.
Return of Property
At any time during the Consignment Period, Consignor may require the immediate removal of all or some of the Property from Royalty Hour Watches service, with reasonable written notice to Royalty Hour Watches. All costs of removing and returning the Property will be borne by Consignor and Royalty Hour Watches 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 Royalty Hour Watches costs of storing, cataloging and photographing the Property, and Consignor will be responsible for shipping costs to and from Royalty Hour Watches.
Termination
In addition to the 180 day 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.
No Assignment
Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any interest herein without the other Party’s express prior written consent, except that Royalty Hour Watches may assign this Agreement without Consignor’s consent in connection with any corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition.
Changes to These Terms
Consignor acknowledges and agrees that these terms may be changed by notice posted on Royalty Hour Watches web page at royaltyhourwatches.com/consignor-terms. Royalty Hour Watches will use reasonable efforts to communicate any such changes to Consignor (such as sending notice to an email address provided by Consignor), but Royalty Hour Watches cannot guarantee that Consignor will receive such notices, or receive them in a timely manner.

IN NO EVENT WILL Royalty Hour Watches LIABILITY HEREUNDER EXCEED THE NET AMOUNTS IT HAS ACTUALLY RECEIVED AS A RESULT OF SELLING CONSIGNOR’S PROPERTY HEREUNDER.
