- The Commissioning Party can send an inquiry to the Commission Agent to evaluate the sales potential of the Goods. This inquiry can be sent via the Form available on the Service’s website or through a direct email to kontakt@ekspert-diamentow.pl. Based on the information provided, the Commission Agent will conduct an initial assessment of the Goods and determine their sales potential, considering various factors such as technical condition, market value, and market demand. After performing the analysis, the Commission Agent will inform the Commissioning Party of the assessment results and present a proposal for the terms of the Commission Agreement, including the proposed Minimum Price and the Commission Agent’s commission percentage.
- In the case of a positive decision by the Commissioning Party to conclude the Commission Agreement, the Commissioning Party is required to deliver the Goods to the Commission Agent. The Goods can be delivered in person by the Commissioning Party or sent to the Commission Agent’s address at ul. Tadeusza Kościuszki 26D, 32-082 Zelków. When choosing a shipment, the Commissioning Party should ensure the Goods are adequately secured for transport and insured to arrive undamaged. The Commissioning Party is responsible for any damage or loss of the Goods during transport if they do not opt for insured shipment.
- Depending on the agreed terms, the delivered Goods will be subject to further evaluation by the Commission Agent, who, within 5 business days of receiving the Goods, will decide on the possibility of finalizing the Commission Agreement and starting its execution.
- If the Goods delivered for sale differ in their parameters, condition, or other characteristics from those previously declared by the Commissioning Party, the Commission Agent has the right to refuse acceptance of the Goods for sale, and will immediately inform the Commissioning Party, subsequently returning the Goods to the address provided by the Commissioning Party within 5 business days. Alternatively, due to their qualifications, the Commission Agent may propose an expert appraisal of the jewelry, which will serve as the basis for establishing a new Minimum Price.
- If the Commissioning Party decides to proceed with the Commission Agreement, the jewelry appraisal cost will not be charged to them. However, if the Commissioning Party decides to withdraw from the Commission Agreement after the appraisal, they will be charged the cost of the appraisal, which is 3% of the market value of the jewelry as indicated by the Commission Agent in the appraisal, and the Commission Agent will return the Goods to the address provided by the Commissioning Party within 5 business days.
- In case of any doubts regarding the origin of the Goods, the Commission Agent has the right to refuse to accept the Goods for sale, and will immediately inform the Commissioning Party via email, subsequently returning the Goods to the address provided by the Commissioning Party within 5 business days.
- The return of the Goods in the situations described in paragraphs 4, 5, and 6 of this section will be at the expense of the Commissioning Party.
- If the Commissioning Party fails to collect the Goods returned by the Commission Agent or if the return of the Goods is not possible due to the fault of the Commissioning Party, the Goods will remain in the possession of the Commission Agent for two (2) years. During this time, the Commissioning Party may collect the Goods by covering the transport costs and any additional costs incurred by the Commission Agent. After two years, if the Commissioning Party has not collected the Goods or taken steps to collect them, the Goods will be considered abandoned, and the Commissioning Party will be deemed to have disposed of them intending to relinquish ownership.
- If the Goods are accepted by the Commission Agent, the Commission Agent will present the Commissioning Party with the content of the Commission Agreement and the applicable Regulations. The Commission Agreement will be considered concluded only after the Commissioning Party accepts and signs these documents. If, for any reason, it is impossible to maintain the terms of the Commission Agreement as stated in paragraph 1 of this section, the Parties will mutually agree on new terms for the Commission Agreement through negotiations. If the Parties cannot agree on the new terms, the Commission Agreement will not be concluded, and neither Party will have any claims against the other.
§4. Sale of Goods
- The Commissioning Party gives the Commission Agent the right to list the Goods for sale, setting the price at their discretion (regardless of the price proposed by the Commissioning Party), provided that the price will not be lower than the Minimum Price. To clarify, if the Final Price of the Goods is higher than the Minimum Price, the Commissioning Party is entitled to receive the full Final Price, minus the Commission Agent’s commission.
- The Commission Agent may organize promotional campaigns or offer discounts on the Goods at their discretion, provided that the Final Price resulting from the sale of the Goods cannot be lower than the Minimum Price, unless the Parties agree otherwise, at least in the form of an email.
- If the Commission Agent sells the Goods to a Client, they will inform the Commissioning Party no later than 5 business days after the sale by email containing information about the Final Price and the Commission Agent’s Commission.
- The Commission Agent will transfer to the Commissioning Party the Final Price, minus the Commission, based on an adequately issued VAT invoice or receipt with a 14-day payment term. The Commissioning Party acknowledges that the Final Price minus the Commission covers all claims the Commissioning Party may have against the Commission Agent under the Commission Agreement.
- The Client has the right to return the Goods within 14 days from receipt of the order, following applicable legal provisions and the Commission Agent’s Online Store regulations. Therefore, payment to the Commissioning Party will be made within 5 days after this period, provided that the Client does not exercise the right to return the Goods.
- If the Client exercises the right to return, the Commission Agent will inform the Commissioning Party, and the Goods will remain subject to the execution of the Commission Agreement and will continue to be offered for sale under its terms.
