• Tags must be printed on white cardstock that is at least 65lb weight or higher. Tags printed on regular paper may be removed from the sales floor, as they do not stay attached.

• When using safety pins, do not tape over the pins, as this can damage the garment. Whether using safety pins or a tagging gun, always attach tags through the original garment tag or through a seam to avoid holes. Do not use a tagging gun on the front of a garment, as it may cause damage.

𝐍𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐅𝐓𝐒: I understand that if I shop during my designated team member shopping time and do not complete my team member shift (no-show) the value of that shopping ticket will be deducted from my consignor check. 4-hour team member ticket value = $20; 8-hour team member ticket value = $30. Please contact [email protected] if you are unable to make your team member shift for a valid reason; no-shows will be deducted from your consignor check.*
𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 (please check even if you do not plan to participate as a team member, in case you change your mind later or a shift opens up): My shift dates/times were chosen solely by me from a large schedule of available shifts. I will be offered a selection of available positions to in which to help, upon arrival at the start of my shift, and the area where I help will be of my own choosing. I understand that if I require special accommodations or prefer a specific position, I will let Melissa, Melanie or a Team Lead know at the start of my shift. I understand that in order to receive the compensation being offered, I am responsible to complete the Team Member hours for which I have signed up. Should I fail to do so or cut my helper time short, I will not be compensated the additional 10% or other team member perks outlined below. I agree to waive any and all claims for personal injury resulting from participation in this event from foreseen and unforeseen causes against Just Between Friends Grand Rapids and Mel Squared, LLC. Since I am selecting a shift(s) to help as an independent contractor, I agree to receive early shopping privileges and an extra consignor percentage for my time, and/or a fee waiver. I understand that I am not receiving benefits, insurance, workers compensation or any other similar benefits, since I am NOT AN EMPLOYEE. I am helping for the sole purpose of assisting with the operations of the event and to help sell my items at the event. I am helping in an ethical manner, and agree that I am not attempting to learn the business practices of JBF, operations techniques, or any other business matters that may or may not be trademarked, registered or proprietary in any way. I understand that by helping for a 4 or 8+ hour shift, I will be able to shop at the corresponding presale shopping time. For helping the selected shift(s) I will receive an extra 10% consignor commission on my sold items. The maximum number of hours being offered to me to work as a JBF team member is 8 hours unless I choose to help more at the sale. I understand that, at times, JBF takes photographs of its events to promote sales and, if I do not wish my image to be used in JBF promotions, I will notify the photographer at the time a picture is taken. Otherwise, I agree to allow my image to be used in JBF sale promotions I understand that if I am working a drop zone or inspection shift, I must drop off DURING DESIGNATED DROP OFF TIMES, BEFORE or AFTER my shift, NOT during my shift. Melissa and Melanie rely on team members being present for these hours, and if I show up late because I do my drop off first or don't plan ahead, they will be short-staffed for that length of time and possibly be unable to operate as planned with the expected staffing.
