Trunk Show Terms and Conditions

040125CBU

To promote sewing and inspire customers, ByAnnie offers the opportunity for approved local quilt shops, resellers, and community organizations to borrow models sewn based on ByAnnie or affiliate patterns.

You may wish to schedule a ByAnnie Trunk Show to coincide with classes using our patterns or a special event or sale. This is a great way to introduce ByAnnie products to your customers and a really easy way to inspire customers and boost sales.

• Definitions.
• • • • Borrower: An entity/person that has been approved by ByAnnie to borrow models/trunk shows subject to the terms here. 
      • Model: A sewn project (bag, home décor item, quilt, wearable or otherwise) made with a ByAnnie or affiliate pattern.
      • Trunk Show: The process of borrowing models from ByAnnie.
      • Trunk Show Required Patterns: The required minimum number of patterns that must be ordered per model borrowed.
      • Model Fee: A charge for the model borrowed that is calculated as the wholesale cost for the Trunk Show Required Patterns.
      • Model Value: The value the borrower will be responsible for if a model is lost, stolen, or generally not returned in original condition.
• TRUNK SHOW APPROVAL. The borrow's ByAnnie account will be approved as "Trunk Show Approved" account based on the responses of the application and based on prior trunk show history. Borrowers who have "Trunk Show Approved" status will have access to borrow available models at any time and as many times as they wish during the year. However, borrowers are required to have at least one trunk show per year to maintain their "Trunk Show Approved" status.
• ONLINE ORDERING. All Trunk Shows orders shall be placed via the borrow's approved ByAnnie account on our online system. Trunk Show fees, additional products, and shipping costs shall be prepaid via the online system. 
• BORROWING PERIOD. The default borrowing period is 45 days from when the borrower confirms their Trunk Show order. This period is anticipated to provide approximately seven days for shipping to the borrower, 30 days for display, and seven days for return of the models. ByAnnie will make every effort to ship the order within two business days of receiving the order and will use the shipping method chosen by the borrower. Borrowing period extensions will be approved on a case-by-case basis.
• MODEL AVAILABILITY. ByAnnie will not preschedule trunk shows. Model availability is on a first-come first-served basis and can change at any time based on Trunk Show orders placed by other borrowers. With over 2000+ models sewn, you are sure to find models that will inspire customers and promote sales. It is the borrower's responsibility to check the availability of a specific model and place their order for it if/when it becomes available.
• MODEL FEE.  Each model has an associated fee that is required to be paid before borrowing. This fee is a rental fee only and does not represent the value of the model itself. The Model Fee is calculated as the wholesale price of the Trunk Show Required Patterns. For example, 6 patterns x $7.50 = $45 model fee.  
• TRUNK SHOW REQUIRED PATTERNS. ByAnnie expects Trunk Shows to be borrowed with the purpose of promoting and selling patterns and supplies. As such, there is a required minimum number of patterns that must be ordered per model. In general, the required minimum number of patterns that need to be ordered is six. These patterns will be semi-automatically added via a "Claim" button on the checkout page. It is the borrower's responsibility to claim these patterns and ensure they are on the order.
• PURCHASE OF RELATED PRODUCTS. We encourage Trunk Show borrowers to order any additional supplies when they are ordering their Trunk Show. To find supplies associated with each model, please refer to the pattern’s supply list, which can be found on our website. You may also want to order any related supplies and tools that your customers will need to make the pattern. This can help increase your sales and your customers will appreciate the convenience of having everything ready to go for their project.
• BYANNIE'S TRUNK SHOW CALENDAR. When checking out, the borrower has the option to provide dates for when the models will be on public display. ByAnnie, in its sole discretion, will use these dates to advertise the trunk show on websites, in emails, and via social media channels. When available, advertisements will include borrower's name, city, state, displayed dates, and links to borrower's website. If your trunk show is not going to be on display at the delivery address you provided to us on check out, please contact us to provide more details.
• TRUNK SHOW SHIPMENT. A packing list will be included with the shipment. Please review the list to make sure that you have received everything that you ordered. Save the list and packing materials so that they can be used to return the models.
• DAMAGE IN TRANSIT FROM BYANNIE. The borrower must report any damage to models or products that occurred during transit immediately upon receiving the Trunk Show. Refunds, returns, and other support will be handled according to normal customer service policies.
• LOSS OR DAMAGE. The borrower is responsible for loss or damage during Trunk Show or return transit. Models are expensive to make and one-of-a-kind. They should be protected and secured accordingly. Please respect the time and energy spent making these models by keeping them in their best possible condition as you are responsible for the full value of any lost, stolen, or damaged models. A list of model value for each pattern/model type can be found here (List of Values per Pattern type). 
• • We highly recommend that you fasten every model to a stationary object to prevent loss/theft/misplacement.
  • Do not display the trunk show in direct sunlight as it can cause fading.
• PACK WITH CARE. Please repack the trunk show with care when returning it to us. We will send email confirmation once we receive the models back in their original condition.
• • Fold models and place in bag. Quilts should be folded with the right-side in.
  • Return each model to its labeled bag. There will be a charge of $10/bag if models are not returned in their labeled plastic bag. 
  • If you must replace the box that was used to send your trunk show, please be sure to use a box that is sturdy and large enough to ship the models without crushing them.
  • Use the packing list that was shipped with your order to ensure that all the models are returned to us.
  • Place a piece of heavy cardboard over the top of everything to avoid something being cut when the box is opened. 
• RETURN VIA REPUTABLE CARRIER. Use a reputable carrier (USPS, UPS, FEDEX, DHL, etc.) to return the models. Choose a shipping method that uses a tracking number and send us an email with that tracking number once the order has been shipped. Ship to:
• • ByAnnie.com LLC
  • 825 Industrial Road
  • St. George, UT 84770
• RETURN ON TIME. Return your trunk show on time so that others can enjoy their shows according to schedule. There is a $10 service fee for each day that the trunk show is late.
• NO RETURNS OF PRODUCT / NO CONSIGNMENT. ByAnnie does not offer product on consignment and does not accept returns on items ordered as part of the Trunk Show. Unsold patterns or products should not be returned with the models, as refunds will not be issued for returned product.
• REVOCATION OF APPROVAL. ByAnnie may, at any time without notice, cancel a borrower's privileges and revoke their access to Trunk Shows and models. Revocation may be made for poor handling of models, failure to return on time, or other criteria as deemed necessary for the proper oversight of ByAnnie's models and brand.
