• I am participating in the Just Between Friends Consignment Sale as a Consignor and/or Team Member and am an independent contractor in regards to selling my items.
• I understand and accept that Just Between Friends is not responsible for fire, loss, theft or damage to my items.
• I understand that JBF Grand Rapids is only a broker or agent for the Consignor. JBF Grand Rapids has no obligation to pay for unsold items. Title possession remains with the Consignor.
• Consignor fees are $10 if all remaining unsold tags are marked to be donated after the sale to the charity partner or $15 if remaining unsold tags are being picked up after the sale is completed.
• I understand that Consignors who help (team members) for a minimum of 4 hours for set up/drop off, during sort/breakdown or during the sale, may earn a higher percentage of her/his gross items offered for sale less a $10 or $15 consignor fee taken out of the check. Typically 70% for regular consignors.
• I understand as a regular consignor that I will earn 60% of my gross items I offer for sale less a $10 or $15 consignor fee taken out of the check if I choose not to help for a minimum of a 4 hour team member shift at the sale. I will also have a minimum of 50 newly tagged items in the sale.
• I understand that I will cash my consignor check within 60 days or less of receiving the check. If the check is not cashed within that time frame, a $35 fee will be assessed. If your check(s) are not cashed before the next sale season, you will not be able to participate in the upcoming sale.
• Consignors may incur additional fees if any battery-operated items they are consigning require a battery replacement during the event in order to show that the item is in working order. Battery fee is $2 per battery.
• Make sure you have reviewed the "Fall What To Sell Guide" information on the "How To Sell" page of the website to ensure items are seasonally appropriate for this upcoming sale. Also understand for the fall/winter sale that maternity items that hang on the clothing racks are limited to 10 best clothing items (all season maternity brands work here only) and must ALL be marked as REDUCE AND DONATE. Teen (sizes XS-XL) have 20 specific brands that are unlimited while the remainder of the teen brands will have a 20 tag limit per gender - 20 boys and 20 girls (fall/winter guidelines apply - see website for details). All items in TEEN 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 be teen brands. Sizes 12 month and younger are limited to 75 tags per gender and no more than 3 items per hanger. However, if it is a FULL outfit or new with tags outfit in these sizes, all the items in the outift can be hung on 1 hanger and listed under 1 tag. Room Decor is limited to items that belong in children's bedrooms/bathrooms. Mommy/Daddy Mart is limited to 10 gently used tagged items that belong in this area and then beyond the 10 gently used items all remaining items must be new in package or visibly new. Also accepted in this area are up to 10 tags for gently used holiday/seasonal items. Any bedding twin or larger or furniture that does not belong in a child's room is not allowed in any area as well. Accessories are 20 total tags regardless of gender but seasonally appropriate. Again, reference the Fall What's Accepted for guide on the website for details or the consignor VIP page on Facebook.
• If you have an item that is priced at $50.00 or more (excluding Large Item area merchandise) please leave it at the registration desk at drop off for it to be placed on the sales floor by a team member.
• Consignor Pick up (of unsold items you choose not to donate) is on Sunday, Sept. 15 with required pick up times between 11:00am and 1pm. All Consignors picking up their unsold items MUST register for a pick up time to assure your spot is reserved.
• Consignors will be admitted at their registered drop off, shopping and pickup times. Please arrive during your designated times selected and plan to be efficient in your drop off and/or pick up.
• I understand that any item(s) not picked up by 1:01pm on Sunday, Sept. 15 will be donated to the JBF Charity Partner.
• I understand that items that are off-season, stained, broken, missing pieces, not to JBF standards, beyond the category limit for an area or missing batteries will be rejected at the discretion of JBF Team Staff. Upon double verification, for items that are removed from the floor, all consignors receive 3 "grace" pulled items, then beyond the 3, there will be a $.50 per item fee.
• I understand that all tags must printed on white card stock that is at least 65lb or higher. Tags printed on paper tags could be pulled off the sales floor as paper tags typically do not stay attached to the item. If using safety pins, please do not tape over the safety pins as that can damage the garment. Whether attaching tags with safety pins or tagging gun, the tag should be attached only through the original tag on the garment or through a seam so not to cause a hole in the item. Do not use a tagging gun and puncture the front of the garment, it will damage the item.
• I understand that as a condition of selling items in a Just Between Friends Consignment Sale, I represent the following to be true and correct:
1) I am the owner of the items to be sold and I have full authority to sell the items offered by me for sale; and
2) Each item offered for sale by me is in good operating condition, reasonable wear and tear accepted, and is not broken or damaged in any way; and
3) Any repaired item was repaired by the original manufacturer or in accordance with the original manufacturer’s warranty program and
4) Each item complies with applicable law, https://cpsc.gov; and
5) No item is the subject of any pending or threatened recall notice or other consumer protection enforcement action; and
6) I know of no reason why any item offered for sale by me would cause injury to another.

• I understand that a “star” (printed on JBF tags with any color ink) means that the item will remain at FULL PRICE throughout the sale. Tags with no star means the item will be sold during the presale on Thursday evening at 50% off, during the public sale on Friday of the sale at 50% off, and 50% on Saturday, until the sale ends. I understand that the team members helping during the breakdown/sort shift will have the opportunity to shop any items designated as donate at 75% off for 1 hour before that shift begins as well.
• If I am helping at the sale, I will arrive 10 minutes early for my shift so that I can park my car and be ready to help during my full shift. If I am unable to fulfill my full team member commitment, I will find a replacement and TEXT Melissa/Melanie at 616-528-8284. I will sign in and out for every shift at the Team Member area.
• I understand that by appearing in a public venue as a shopper or consignor, JBF has permission to use my image in any JBF publicity avenue JBF Grand Rapids may choose. I may verbally request to not be photographed at the sale.
• I understand that by providing my cell phone that I will be added to the list where I could receive informational text messages about the sale and details of the sale. I will be given the opportunity to opt out if I choose not to receive those text messages anymore.
• I hereby release and hold harmless Just Between Friends, its employees, officers and vendors from and against all claims of damages and liability resulting from exposure to COVID-19 or any other contagious illness.
• 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 am willing to sign a confidentiality agreement and will do so if asked by a representative of Just Between Friends.

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, 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.
