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 model is a sewn project (bag, home decor item, quilt, wearable or otherwise) made using a pattern written by ByAnnie or an affiliate.
  • Trunk Show: A Trunk Show is the term used for the entire process of borrowing any number of models from ByAnnie.com.
  • 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. These patterns will be added semi-automatically via the "Claim" button on the web cart.
  • Model Fee: The fee is a charge for the model borrowed. This fee is calculated as the wholesale cost for the Trunk Show Required Patterns.
  • Model Value: This is the value the borrower will be responsible for if models are lost, stolen, or generally not returned in original condition.
  • Please read the information below which details how ByAnnie Trunk Shows work and what is required of you. If you have any other questions, please contact us.

• ONLINE ORDERING. All Trunk Shows and model borrowing shall be conducted via our online system and through the borrower's approved online ByAnnie account. Trunk Show fees, additional products, and shipping costs to the borrower will be prepaid via the online system. Approved Trunk Show Borrowers will have access to borrow from Available Models at any time and as many times as they wish during the year.
  
  
• BORROWING PERIOD. The default borrowing period is 45 days from when the borrower checks out online. This period is anticipated to provide approximately 7 days for shipping to the borrower, 30 days for display, and 7 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 method chosen by the borrower when ordering. Extensions may be requested and will be approved on a case-by-case basis.
  
  
• MODEL AVAILABILITY. Models will be visible on our online system and their current availability will be displayed. 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 availability of any specific model and place their order for it if/when it becomes available.
  
  
• PRESCHEDULING OR SPECIFIC MODEL REQUESTS. ByAnnie will not preschedule trunk shows nor accept specific model requests. 
   
• MODEL FEE.  Each model has a fee/price associated with it 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 (more below).  NOTE: Non-returned or damaged models will be subject to charges (See Loss or Damage below). 
  
  
• TRUNK SHOW REQUIRED PATTERNS. Borrower must purchase a minimum number of patterns for each model borrowed. These patterns will be semi-automatically added via a "claim" button when reviewing the web cart. 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 at the same time as their Trunk Show. All items can be added to the same web cart and checkout process. Please refer to the pattern’s supply list (on our website) for each model you are borrowing. Be sure to also order any related supplies and tools that your customers will need. Your sales will increase and your customers will appreciate the convenience of having everything ready to go for their project.
  
  
• BYANNIE'S TRUNK SHOW CALENDAR. When checking out, 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, advertisement 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 your delivery address, please contact us to provide more details.
  
  
• CHECK THE TRUNK SHOW CAREFULLY UPON RECEIPT AND WHEN RETURNING. 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 along with all the packing materials so that you are sure to return all models borrowed. When models are received by us, we will email to confirm receipt of each model returned in original condition.
  
  
• DAMAGE IN TRANSIT FROM BYANNIE. The borrower must report any damage to product or models that occurred during transit immediately upon receiving the Trunk Show. Refunds, returns, or other support will be handled according to normal customer service policies.
  
  
• LOSS OR DAMAGE. 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. You are responsible for the full value of any lost, stolen, or damaged models. We highly recommend that you fasten every model to a stationary object to prevent loss/theft/misplacing. We trust you to respect the time and energy spent making these models and to keep them in their best possible condition. Please do not display the trunk show in direct sunlight as it can cause fading.
  • A list of values for each pattern/model type can be found here (List of Values per Pattern type). 
    
    
• PACK WITH CARE. Please repack the trunk show with care when returning it to us.
• • You must return each model in its labeled bag, so be sure to retain the shipping materials used to ship the trunk show to you. Carefully fold models and place in bag. Quilts should be folded with the right side in.
  • There will be a charge of $10/bag, if models are not returned in the labeled bags. 
  • 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.
  • Please 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. All models must be returned in original condition. When you return a show, use a reputable carrier (USPS, UPS, FEDEX, DHL, etc) and ensure you use a service level that provides a tracking number. Please forward the tracking number to us when shipping.
  
  
• RETURN ON TIME. Please 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. See Borrowing Period above for more details.
  
  
• NO RETURNS OF PRODUCT / NO CONSIGNMENT. ByAnnie does not offer product on consignment and will not authorize returns of product ordered with the Trunk Show. Do not return unsold patterns or product with the models; there will  be no refund.
  
  
• REVOCATION OF APPROVAL. ByAnnie may at any time, and 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.
