Dealer purchasing, custom collections & consignment

Version 2026-11-dealers-1. The account agreement and accepted proposal identify the actual parties, prices and commercial arrangements. Mandatory consumer rights and applicable law remain in effect.

Approved accounts

Only an active, owner-approved shop account linked to a verified member can use enabled dealer purchasing options. Permissions, pricing, eligible collections and allowances are individual. An optional consignment code supplements sign-in and does not grant account access. The owner can pause future orders or deliveries for overdue settlement or review. Changes to account settings do not silently rewrite an accepted proposal.

Outright purchases and reorders

Review quantities, dealer prices, tax and terms before submitting. A submitted request does not reserve inventory until approved. Approved stock is reserved until physical delivery or cancellation; it may be unavailable to other buyers. Payment is through the configured PayPal checkout, in USD, using a verified PayPal account and PayPal-supplied U.S. address. Free U.S. shipping applies. No subscriptions or automatic repeat charges are authorized. Reorders require current availability and terms; one-of-a-kind pieces may need an agreed similar replacement.

Custom collections and deposits

The private proposal describes the scope, quantities, price, deposit, tax allocation, estimated completion and specific cancellation/refund provisions. Acceptance and each payment require an explicit action. Estimates are not guaranteed tour dates or appointments. Handmade variations, changes, replacements or additional work must be discussed and approved in a fresh proposal. A deposit is credited toward the stated total; it is not an inventory shipment or a promise of PayPal Seller Protection. The remaining balance is requested when the studio marks the collection ready. Production requires the agreed verified deposit; physical handoff requires full verified payment and clear review holds. A zero-deposit proposal permits production after acceptance. Tax collection timing is quoted, subject to owner review of applicable rules.

Cancellation, refunds and changes

The specific accepted proposal and account agreement state the applicable cancellation and refund terms. Deposits are not universally designated nonrefundable by this platform. Contact the studio before changes or cancellation. The owner issues refunds in PayPal and verifies them in the order record. A local cancellation does not itself refund a payment. Paid, disputed or partially delivered orders require review; delivered pieces are handled through return records. A verified reversal or refund stops automatic progression and requires reconciliation. No automatic additional charge is made.

Consignment orders

A consignment checkout requests delivery, collects no purchase payment at checkout, and does not transfer title by itself. The written account agreement must specify ownership, shop share, responsibility for loss/damage, sales reporting, settlement and return obligations. Those obligations must be agreed before dispatch. Quantity and/or retail-value allowances include unsold consigned stock and approved undelivered orders. Reported sales and confirmed returns adjust stock; a stock report does not prove settlement payment. The existing owner delivery desk verifies the actual pieces, quantities and arrangement at handoff. Consignment settlement and invoicing remain separately managed under the agreement.

Delivery, risk and sales tax

Each installment uses the same PayPal delivery address. Contact the studio before an address change. In-person handoffs require owner review and acknowledgment; online payment does not establish protection for an in-person exchange. Tax is calculated from owner-configured rates and the quoted state. Dealer membership alone does not qualify for exemption: the owner must verify applicable resale documentation and record a review date. This software does not determine nexus, validate certificates with tax authorities or remit tax. Consignment resale tax duties are stated in the shop agreement and remain the parties’ responsibility.

Dealer privacy

We store business contact details, verified member linkage, agreements, local-series references, order/proposal details, consent timestamps, production/delivery history, allowances, private certificate-verification references and payment/refund identifiers to administer the relationship. Dealer agreements and order data are encrypted in the database; the payment journal stores totals/status and encrypts PayPal buyer/address details. Password-hashed optional codes are not shown back to users. PayPal processes payment account information; this site does not store card numbers. Service emails go to the shop contact and owner; they do not subscribe the shop to marketing. Private shop pages require sign-in and are excluded from indexing. Linked local-series photos retain their existing private access controls.

WordPress privacy tools can export dealer records for the account contact. Internal verification notes, authentication code hashes and owner-only operational notes are excluded. Erasure disables contact access; financial, agreement and inventory records may be retained for reconciliation and legal recordkeeping. The owner must review retained agreement text and payment records for further redaction and retention requirements; backups follow hosting policy. Ask the studio to correct contacts or agreements. Never share a member login or private receipt link.
