5. Orders

Prohibition on Fulfilment Using Third Party Websites. You agree to not fulfil orders on third party websites unless they are approved by Faire. Prohibited sites include Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Poshmark.
Order Minimums. Brands may specify a minimum dollar amount a Retailer must spend before a Brand is willing to sell to a Retailer (an “Order Minimum”). This amount is set by each Brand and may vary between Brands. Brands have the option to set a different Order Minimum for first orders and reorders you place with them.
Right to Refuse. You acknowledge and agree that Brands may refuse to complete your purchase and Faire may cancel a purchase for any reason.
Inventory. Faire will encourage Brands to have sufficient inventory to sell goods to Retailers. However, you acknowledge and agree that Faire does not guarantee a Brand's inventory or that there will be enough product to sell to you.
Testers and Samples. Brands may sell testers. You may add only one tester per product SKU to any full order. Samples are currently not made available by a Brand. Please note that in the event you purchase testers, they are non- returnable and non-refundable.
No Circumvention. You acknowledge and agree that you will place all orders for a Brand's product through the Services for any Brand that you are first introduced to through the Services. You acknowledge and agree that you will not influence Brands, or otherwise circumvent Faire’s process or the Services, by transacting orders with Brands you were introduced to through the Services outside of the Services. Failure to comply with this provision may result in temporary suspension or permanent termination of your Retailer Account and your ability to purchase products on Faire in the future.
Brand Exclusivity. Where offered and available, Faire offers Brands, at their option, the functionality to offer Retailers 12 months of exclusivity protection within a specific local geographic radius for orders placed with that Brand on the Services, subject to an agreed minimum spend from the Retailer. More information is available here and within the Faire Marketplace experience. Retailers may sign up with participating Brands at their discretion.
Shipping Address and Drop Shipping. You agree to provide a valid, physical address to receive any product that you order through the Services. Faire does not offer drop shipping to customers of Retailers. Retailers are also not allowed to forward purchased products to overseas locations, whether through mail forwarding services or otherwise.
Taxes. To the extent of transactions entered into by you with brands on the Faire platform, Faire will calculate the tax (generally, VAT or GST) payable and include this on the order invoice issued for or on behalf of the brand. You acknowledge that you are liable and required to pay to the brand any taxes so calculated and agree to assume liability for payment for the full amount of the order invoice including any taxes calculated by Faire on behalf of the brands. You hereby release Faire with respect thereto, and agree to indemnify, defend and hold Faire harmless against any and all such (withholding or other) taxes, contributions, penalties and/or interest. All Faire fees are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise indicated. Dutch VAT will be levied at the standard rate (2022: 21%) on fees issued by Faire to the extent required by local and European law. If no Dutch VAT is due on our services, VAT or GST or other local taxes may be due in your jurisdiction via a reverse charge or similar mechanism. You are solely responsible for correctly reporting and paying any such taxes via such reverse charge or similar mechanism.

6. Payment

Payment Methods. To make a purchase, you must link an approved payment method (such as a credit or debit card but excluding pre-paid cards) with your Retailer Account. Approved payment methods may vary by region. By submitting payment details in conjunction with registering for a Retailer Account and/or purchasing goods, you agree to pay for the goods purchased, and any applicable taxes and other fees that may accrue, and you authorize any Brand, Faire, any of their respective affiliates and any payment processor for any of them to charge the payment method with any payment due from you using the information you have supplied to Faire, and/or (where applicable) to credit that payment method and/or to make any adjustments if necessary. Faire reserves the right to correct any errors in pricing. We will ensure that your default payment method on file in your Retailer Account is charged for amounts due from you. If this fails, any other payment method you have included in your Retailer Account may be charged.
Payment Processors. Third-party service providers may be used for payment card acquiring, fraud alerts, payment processing and the disbursement of funds to Brands from which you make purchases. You acknowledge and agree that Faire may share information about you with such payment processors in order to complete any transaction.
Conclusion of Order Contracts. In relation to the conclusion through the Faire platform of any contract for the purchase of goods by you from a Brand (a “Contract”), Faire is appointed and authorised by the Brand to process such orders and provide certain services on Brand’s behalf. Accordingly, where payment of any amount payable by you to a Brand in respect of any Contract with that Brand is made to Faire, this shall discharge your obligation to the Brand to the extent of the amount so paid. Faire does not act as agent for you in relation to the negotiation or conclusion of, or any payment made under, any Contract.
Payment timings. In respect of payments by you to Brands in respect of Contracts, Faire is granted a discretion by the Brands to determine which of two payment timings shall be available to you the Brands in respect of the purchase price under such Contracts (the “Purchase Price”), these being:
1. Payment on Shipment Terms: you are required to make payment of the Purchase Price on the day of shipment of the applicable product; or
2. 60-Day Terms: the Brand grants you a period of interest-free trade credit on the basis of which you are obliged to make payment of the Purchase Price on the day falling 60 days after the date on which the Contract is concluded.
Availability of 60 Days Terms. In determining on behalf of the Brands whether to make 60 Day Terms payment timing available to you in respect of any Contract, Faire will consider your credit standing and the aggregate amount outstanding from you in respect of all other Contracts under which payment has not yet been made in full (the “Outstanding Credit Amount”). Faire may in its discretion set a credit limit (the “Credit Limit”) which shall apply to all your Contracts such that, although you will generally be approved by Faire for the provision of 60 Day Terms by Brands, if the extension of 60 Days Terms to any new Contract will cause the Outstanding Credit Amount to exceed such Credit Limit, Payment on Shipment Terms shall be applied to that Contract. However, you shall have the option to avoid this consequence by logging onto your Retailer Account and paying down amounts outstanding under other Contracts to reduce the Outstanding Credit Amount by the requisite amount. Faire reserves the right to change any Credit Limit from time to time in its entire discretion and you may request an increase to your Credit Limit through your Retailer Account. Faire may also apply a maximum Contract purchase price size for Contracts to which 60 Day Terms may be applied. You agree that you will not create multiple accounts in an attempt to circumvent spending limits.
Failure to Make Payment & Payment Plan Program. You acknowledge and agree that if you fail to make payment when due of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or any other amount owing under these Terms, Faire may:
1. on behalf of the parties to whom the Outstanding Credit Amount is then owed, give notice making the whole of the Outstanding Credit Amount and any other amount payable by you under these Terms due and payable immediately (if not so already);
2. on behalf of the relevant Brands, cancel or suspend any Contracts;
3. temporarily suspend or permanently terminate your Retailer Account;
4. reduce any Credit Limit to zero;
5. apply any amount in Faire’s possession or control which is owed to you toward reduction of the Outstanding Credit Amount
6. assess an additional fee in respect of collection and related services which shall be calculated by applying interest on any amount outstanding from you at the rate of 8% per annum from the due date of such amount to its date of payment; and/or
7. If you fail to make payment 60 days past due of any part of an enforceable Outstanding Credit Amount or any other due and enforceable amount under these Terms, and you have not otherwise opted into a payment plan program for that amount due, you may be automatically enrolled into a 12-week payment plan, and you hereby agree to pay the total amount due in equal weekly instalments over such 12-week period. You acknowledge and agree that the Brand (via its Payment Processor) will collect the instalments by automatically charging you using the payment method(s) included in your Retailer Account (including but not limited to direct debit) and, to the extent necessary, you agree to procure any authorization required for the automatic collection of the instalments.
Faire reserves the right in these circumstances, acting on behalf of the relevant creditor, to turn over the collection of any amount due from you to a collection agency or seek any other legal or equitable remedies available to collect any outstanding debt.
Indemnity to Faire. You acknowledge that, if you fail to make payment when due of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or other amount owing under these Terms, Faire may, as a matter of good platform management, make payment of the amount due to the relevant creditor (the “Discharged Creditor”). You acknowledge and agree that to the extent that Faire does this, you shall be liable to Faire in the same amount and to the same extent as you were liable to the Discharged Creditor and you shall indemnify Faire against any costs, detriment, damage or losses which it suffers as a consequence of your non-payment of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or other amount owing under these Terms when due.

7. Shipping Costs, Lead Times, and Duties

Shipping Costs. Shipping costs will be included on your invoice. Unless you receive free shipping on an eligible order, you are responsible for and agree to pay for all shipping costs displayed on your invoice.
Faire’s Brand Set Shipping feature (“Brand Set Shipping”) allows Brands to (i) pre-select the shipping rate (“Flat Rate”) that you will pay to ship your order to your designated location, or (ii) provide free shipping to you if the order value is above the minimum that the Brand selects (“Free Shipping Minimum”).
If a Brand is not using Brand Set Shipping (or if a Brand’s Flat Rate or Free Shipping Minimum does not apply to your order), your shipping cost will vary depending on the weight of the package and where the package is being shipped from. If a Brand has set a Flat Rate that is applicable to your order, your shipping cost will be the amount of such Flat Rate; if a Brand has set a Free Shipping Minimum that is applicable to your order, your shipping cost will be zero where such minimum order threshold has been met. You acknowledge and agree that the Brand reserves the right to request an adjustment to the shipping cost prior to order fulfillment of a Flat Rate order, which you may either accept or reject. If you do not accept the adjustment request (including by not responding to the notification from the Brand), your order will be canceled. If you accept the revised shipping cost, your order will be fulfilled and you agree to pay the revised shipping cost as communicated by the Brand.
You acknowledge and agree that Flat Rates and Free Shipping Minimums are set by Brands in their sole discretion and may not be available in all areas or for all orders. Faire may terminate or modify the Brand Set Shipping feature without advance notice, at any time and for any reason.
Lead Times. You acknowledge that lead times vary on how long it takes for a Brand to ship a product. Average lead times are displayed on the Brand's page and/or when the product is in your cart. If any order takes longer than 2 weeks to ship, your invoice due date and return window (if applicable) are automatically extended by 2 weeks. Once the Brand accepts the order, the expected ship date will be updated in your Retailer Account. You will receive a notice once the product has shipped, giving you a tracking number and letting you know the cost of shipping. This information is also available in your Retailer Account.
Customs Duties and Similar Fees. You acknowledge that if you purchase products sold on the Services that are located outside of the country you are based in, you are acting as the importer of record for any such products purchased. You further acknowledge that you are responsible to pay any customs or excise duties, tariffs, taxes, or other fees associated with or resulting from international purchases (unless otherwise explicitly offered by Faire). Although Faire may surface customs or tariff-related information provided by Brands such as the country of origin of certain products and USMCA qualification, and Faire may also attempt to estimate possible duties and other fees resulting from international purchases, you acknowledge that the information provided by Brands may be inaccurate or outdated, Faire’s estimates may be inaccurate, Faire is not required to provide such estimates, and you are solely responsible for conducting the necessary due diligence to determine possible duties, tariffs, taxes and other fees associated with importation. You will not have any recourse against Faire if Faire’s estimate is inaccurate or if the customs or tariff-related information provided by Brands is inaccurate.

8. Returns, Refunds, Cancellations

Returns. Faire offers free returns on qualifying orders placed with any Brand whereby from the date the order is placed, you have the same number of days to apply to return the product for a full refund as you have to pay the invoice (“Return Eligibility Period”). Faire may, at its discretion, require you to ship the returned order to a specified location, in which case Faire will cover the associated shipping costs. When goods are returned to Faire by a Retailer, Faire may at its option redistribute those products through its various redistribution channels. To qualify for free returns and prevent future charges, you must adhere to Faire return policies as outlined in our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy. You acknowledge and agree that any orders from a Brand not covered in Faire’s Return Policy are not eligible for return, except under certain limited circumstances described therein. Although Faire agrees to pay free shipping on returned items that qualify, you acknowledge and agree that you pay for all shipping costs to your retail store. Those shipping costs are non-refundable, even if you later return those items for free under this Section.
Refunds and cancellations. If you receive a product that is damaged, the shipment includes missing items or you do not receive the product by the expected ship date, you must report the issue within 14 days of receiving the product as outlined in our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy. You agree that if you do not timely report the issue, the product shall be deemed delivered and satisfactory.

Faire reserves the right to accept or reject any missing or damaged report filed by a Retailer in its sole reasonable discretion, including in the event Faire suspects any fraudulent activity. Faire’s decision whether to accept a damaged or missing claim shall be final.

9. Faire Messenger

Retailers and Brands may contact each other directly through Faire Messenger on the Services. You agree to use Faire Messenger only for legitimate business purposes, such as asking questions about a Brand’s products, the status of an order or to resolve business issues. You agree to not abuse Faire Messenger, to use it only as is reasonably necessary and to not use it for the purpose of harassment or other improper purposes. If you are not able to get answers to your questions or resolve issues, you may also contact Faire directly.

10. Product Content

Limited License. Faire displays various Content related to the products, including photographs, product descriptions, Brand stories and any other related content for sale on its Services. You are granted a limited, royalty-free, non-assignable, non- sublicensable and revocable license to use Content related to a product that you purchase on the Services on your own company’s website for the sole purpose of reselling that same product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that you will not use any such Content in any ad or media campaign, including postings, emails, ads or any other communication on Facebook, Instagram or Google, among others, without the express written consent from the owner of that Content.

You acknowledge and agree that you are merely a licensee of the Content and that you do not own, and will not claim any ownership rights in, the Content. You further acknowledge and agree that Faire is not responsible, nor shall Faire be held liable, for any Content, and Faire makes no representation or warranty that the Content does not infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or contain libellous or otherwise unlawful, abusive, harassing or obscene material, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

11. Insider

The Insider terms and conditions apply to retailers who are Insider members.

12. Disputes

For any disputes regarding an order or product from a Brand, you agree to try to informally resolve the dispute directly with the Brand using Faire Messenger. If you are not able to resolve the dispute, you may contact Faire to help resolve the issue. Faire will use good faith efforts to assist you and the applicable Brand to resolve such dispute.

13. Indemnity

You are responsible for any loss or damage caused to third parties in connection with these Retailer Terms, the General Terms and/or any law or the rights of a third party, and/or your use of or participation on the Services.

14. Liability

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES REMAINS WITH YOU. NEITHER FAIRE NOR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING OR DELIVERING THE SITE, SERVICES, APPLICATION WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, OR FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES OR OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT FAIRE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

In determining on behalf of the Brands whether to make 60 Day Terms payment timing available to you in respect of any Contract, Faire will consider your credit standing and the aggregate amount outstanding from you in respect of all other Contracts under which payment has not yet been made in full (the “Outstanding Credit Amount”). Faire may in its discretion set a credit limit (the “Credit Limit”) which shall apply to all your Contracts such that, although you will generally be approved by Faire for the provision of 60 Day Terms by Brands, if the extension of 60 Days Terms to any new Contract will cause the Outstanding Credit Amount to exceed such Credit Limit, Payment on Shipment Terms shall be applied to that Contract. However, you shall have the option to avoid this consequence by logging onto your Retailer Account and paying down amounts outstanding under other Contracts to reduce the Outstanding Credit Amount by the requisite amount. Faire reserves the right to change any Credit Limit from time to time in its entire discretion and you may request an increase to your Credit Limit through your Retailer Account. Faire may also apply a maximum Contract purchase price size for Contracts to which 60 Day Terms may be applied. You agree that you will not create multiple accounts in an attempt to circumvent spending limits.
Failure to Make Payment & Payment Plan Program. You acknowledge and agree that if you fail to make payment when due of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or any other amount owing under these Terms, Faire may:
1. on behalf of the parties to whom the Outstanding Credit Amount is then owed, give notice making the whole of the Outstanding Credit Amount and any other amount payable by you under these Terms due and payable immediately (if not so already);
2. on behalf of the relevant Brands, cancel or suspend any Contracts;
3. temporarily suspend or permanently terminate your Retailer Account;
4. reduce any Credit Limit to zero;
5. apply any amount in Faire’s possession or control which is owed to you toward reduction of the Outstanding Credit Amount
6. assess an additional fee in respect of collection and related services which shall be calculated by applying interest on any amount outstanding from you at the rate of 8% per annum from the due date of such amount to its date of payment; and/or
7. If you fail to make payment 60 days past due of any part of an enforceable Outstanding Credit Amount or any other due and enforceable amount under these Terms, and you have not otherwise opted into a payment plan program for that amount due, you may be automatically enrolled into a 12-week payment plan, and you hereby agree to pay the total amount due in equal weekly instalments over such 12-week period. You acknowledge and agree that the Brand (via its Payment Processor) will collect the instalments by automatically charging you using the payment method(s) included in your Retailer Account (including but not limited to direct debit) and, to the extent necessary, you agree to procure any authorization required for the automatic collection of the instalments.
Faire reserves the right in these circumstances, acting on behalf of the relevant creditor, to turn over the collection of any amount due from you to a collection agency or seek any other legal or equitable remedies available to collect any outstanding debt.
Indemnity to Faire. You acknowledge that, if you fail to make payment when due of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or other amount owing under these Terms, Faire may, as a matter of good platform management, make payment of the amount due to the relevant creditor (the “Discharged Creditor”). You acknowledge and agree that to the extent that Faire does this, you shall be liable to Faire in the same amount and to the same extent as you were liable to the Discharged Creditor and you shall indemnify Faire against any costs, detriment, damage or losses which it suffers as a consequence of your non-payment of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or other amount owing under these Terms when due.

7. Shipping Costs, Lead Times, and Duties

Shipping Costs. Shipping costs will be included on your invoice. Unless you receive free shipping on an eligible order, you are responsible for and agree to pay for all shipping costs displayed on your invoice.
Faire’s Brand Set Shipping feature (“Brand Set Shipping”) allows Brands to (i) pre-select the shipping rate (“Flat Rate”) that you will pay to ship your order to your designated location, or (ii) provide free shipping to you if the order value is above the minimum that the Brand selects (“Free Shipping Minimum”).
If a Brand is not using Brand Set Shipping (or if a Brand’s Flat Rate or Free Shipping Minimum does not apply to your order), your shipping cost will vary depending on the weight of the package and where the package is being shipped from. If a Brand has set a Flat Rate that is applicable to your order, your shipping cost will be the amount of such Flat Rate; if a Brand has set a Free Shipping Minimum that is applicable to your order, your shipping cost will be zero where such minimum order threshold has been met. You acknowledge and agree that the Brand reserves the right to request an adjustment to the shipping cost prior to order fulfillment of a Flat Rate order, which you may either accept or reject. If you do not accept the adjustment request (including by not responding to the notification from the Brand), your order will be canceled. If you accept the revised shipping cost, your order will be fulfilled and you agree to pay the revised shipping cost as communicated by the Brand.
You acknowledge and agree that Flat Rates and Free Shipping Minimums are set by Brands in their sole discretion and may not be available in all areas or for all orders. Faire may terminate or modify the Brand Set Shipping feature without advance notice, at any time and for any reason.
Lead Times. You acknowledge that lead times vary on how long it takes for a Brand to ship a product. Average lead times are displayed on the Brand's page and/or when the product is in your cart. If any order takes longer than 2 weeks to ship, your invoice due date and return window (if applicable) are automatically extended by 2 weeks. Once the Brand accepts the order, the expected ship date will be updated in your Retailer Account. You will receive a notice once the product has shipped, giving you a tracking number and letting you know the cost of shipping. This information is also available in your Retailer Account.
Customs Duties and Similar Fees. You acknowledge that if you purchase products sold on the Services that are located outside of the country you are based in, you are acting as the importer of record for any such products purchased. You further acknowledge that you are responsible to pay any customs or excise duties, tariffs, taxes, or other fees associated with or resulting from international purchases (unless otherwise explicitly offered by Faire). Although Faire may surface customs or tariff-related information provided by Brands such as the country of origin of certain products and USMCA qualification, and Faire may also attempt to estimate possible duties and other fees resulting from international purchases, you acknowledge that the information provided by Brands may be inaccurate or outdated, Faire’s estimates may be inaccurate, Faire is not required to provide such estimates, and you are solely responsible for conducting the necessary due diligence to determine possible duties, tariffs, taxes and other fees associated with importation. You will not have any recourse against Faire if Faire’s estimate is inaccurate or if the customs or tariff-related information provided by Brands is inaccurate.

8. Returns, Refunds, Cancellations

Returns. Faire offers free returns on qualifying orders placed with any Brand whereby from the date the order is placed, you have the same number of days to apply to return the product for a full refund as you have to pay the invoice (“Return Eligibility Period”) subject to certain limitations identified in our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy. Faire may, at its discretion, require you to ship the returned order to a specified location, in which case Faire will cover the associated shipping costs. When goods are returned to Faire by a Retailer, Faire may at its option redistribute those products through its various redistribution channels. To qualify for free returns and prevent future charges, you must adhere to Faire return policies as outlined in our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy. You acknowledge and agree that any orders from a Brand not covered in Faire’s Return Policy are not eligible for return, except under certain limited circumstances described therein. Although Faire agrees to pay free shipping on returned items that qualify, you acknowledge and agree that you pay for all shipping costs to your retail store. Those shipping costs are non-refundable, even if you later return those items for free under this Section.
Refunds and cancellations. If you receive a product that is damaged, the shipment includes missing items or you do not receive the product by the expected ship date, you must report the issue within 14 days of receiving the product as outlined in our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy. You agree that if you do not timely report the issue, the product shall be deemed delivered and satisfactory.

10. Product Content

Ads and Sponsored Product Listings. You acknowledge and agree that the Services may display advertisements or content provided by third parties, including Brands (“Third-Party Content”), some of which may be sponsored by Faire. Faire does not endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, legality, or appropriateness of any Third-Party Content, including any representations made in such advertisements. While Faire uses commercially reasonable efforts to moderate advertisements, including sponsored product listings or sponsored search results, where displayed on the Services in accordance with its Policies, Faire shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to (i) any Third-Party Content, including any errors, misrepresentations, omissions, and/or illegal activity; and/or (ii) any actions, omissions and/or decisions that you make in reliance on advertisements displayed through the Services.

You shall at all times store or otherwise maintain any purchased goods in a safe and stable condition to avoid the degradation or alteration thereof. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are, as between you and Faire, solely responsible for your receipt and use of any goods. You further acknowledge that Faire is not the producer, manufacturer, designer, provider, seller or otherwise responsible for the goods in any way. Faire acts as an online marketplace only to facilitate your purchase of goods from the Brands posting their goods on Faire’s website.

This amount is set by each Brand and may vary between Brands. Brands have the option to set a different Order Minimum for first orders and reorders you place with them.
Right to Refuse. You acknowledge and agree that Brands may refuse to complete your purchase and Faire may cancel a purchase for any reason.
Inventory. Faire will encourage Brands to have sufficient inventory to sell goods to Retailers. However, you acknowledge and agree that Faire does not guarantee a Brand's inventory or that there will be enough product to sell to you.
Testers and Samples. Brands may sell testers. You may add only one tester per product SKU to any full order. Samples are currently not made available by a Brand. Please note that in the event you purchase testers, they are non- returnable and non-refundable.
No Circumvention. You acknowledge and agree that you will place all orders for a Brand's product through the Services for any Brand that you are first introduced to through the Services. You acknowledge and agree that you will not influence Brands, or otherwise circumvent Faire’s process or the Services, by transacting orders with Brands you were introduced to through the Services outside of the Services. Failure to comply with this provision may result in temporary suspension or permanent termination of your Retailer Account and your ability to purchase products on Faire in the future.
Brand Exclusivity. Where offered and available, Faire offers Brands, at their option, the functionality to offer Retailers 12 months of exclusivity protection within a specific local geographic radius for orders placed with that Brand on the Services, subject to an agreed minimum spend from the Retailer. More information is available here and within the Faire Marketplace experience. Retailers may sign up with participating Brands at their discretion.

Faire does not offer drop shipping to customers of Retailers. Retailers are also not allowed to forward purchased products to overseas locations, whether through mail forwarding services or otherwise.
Taxes. To the extent of transactions entered into by you with brands on the Faire platform, Faire will calculate the tax (generally, VAT or GST) payable and include this on the order invoice issued for or on behalf of the brand. You acknowledge that you are liable and required to pay to the brand any taxes so calculated and agree to assume liability for payment for the full amount of the order invoice including any taxes calculated by Faire on behalf of the brands.

You are solely responsible for correctly reporting and paying any such taxes via such reverse charge or similar mechanism.

6. Payment

Payment Methods. To make a purchase, you must link an approved payment method (such as a credit or debit card but excluding pre-paid cards) with your Retailer Account. Approved payment methods may vary by region. By submitting payment details in conjunction with registering for a Retailer Account and/or purchasing goods, you agree to pay for the goods purchased, and any applicable taxes and other fees that may accrue, and you authorize any Brand, Faire, any of their respective affiliates and any payment processor for any of them to charge the payment method with any payment due from you using the information you have supplied to Faire, and/or (where applicable) to credit that payment method and/or to make any adjustments if necessary.

If this fails, any other payment method you have included in your Retailer Account may be charged.
Payment Processors. Third-party service providers may be used for payment card acquiring, fraud alerts, payment processing and the disbursement of funds to Brands from which you make purchases. You acknowledge and agree that Faire may share information about you with such payment processors in order to complete any transaction.
Conclusion of Order Contracts. In relation to the conclusion through the Faire platform of any contract for the purchase of goods by you from a Brand (a “Contract”), Faire is appointed and authorised by the Brand to process such orders and provide certain services on Brand’s behalf. Accordingly, where payment of any amount payable by you to a Brand in respect of any Contract with that Brand is made to Faire, this shall discharge your obligation to the Brand to the extent of the amount so paid. Faire does not act as agent for you in relation to the negotiation or conclusion of, or any payment made under, any Contract.
Payment timings. In respect of payments by you to Brands in respect of Contracts, Faire is granted a discretion by the Brands to determine which of two payment timings shall be available to you the Brands in respect of the purchase price under such Contracts (the “Purchase Price”), these being:
1. Payment on Shipment Terms: you are required to make payment of the Purchase Price on the day of shipment of the applicable product; or
2. 60-Day Terms: the Brand grants you a period of interest-free trade credit on the basis of which you are obliged to make payment of the Purchase Price on the day falling 60 days after the date on which the Contract is concluded.
Availability of 60 Days Terms. In determining on behalf of the Brands whether to make 60 Day Terms payment timing available to you in respect of any Contract, Faire will consider your credit standing and the aggregate amount outstanding from you in respect of all other Contracts under which payment has not yet been made in full (the “Outstanding Credit Amount”). Faire may in its discretion set a credit limit (the “Credit Limit”) which shall apply to all your Contracts such that, although you will generally be approved by Faire for the provision of 60 Day Terms by Brands, if the extension of 60 Days Terms to any new Contract will cause the Outstanding Credit Amount to exceed such Credit Limit, Payment on Shipment Terms shall be applied to that Contract. However, you shall have the option to avoid this consequence by logging onto your Retailer Account and paying down amounts outstanding under other Contracts to reduce the Outstanding Credit Amount by the requisite amount. Faire reserves the right to change any Credit Limit from time to time in its entire discretion and you may request an increase to your Credit Limit through your Retailer Account. Faire may also apply a maximum Contract purchase price size for Contracts to which 60 Day Terms may be applied. You agree that you will not create multiple accounts in an attempt to circumvent spending limits.
Failure to Make Payment & Payment Plan Program. You acknowledge and agree that if you fail to make payment when due of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or any other amount owing under these Terms, Faire may:
1. on behalf of the parties to whom the Outstanding Credit Amount is then owed, give notice making the whole of the Outstanding Credit Amount and any other amount payable by you under these Terms due and payable immediately (if not so already);
2. on behalf of the relevant Brands, cancel or suspend any Contracts;
3. temporarily suspend or permanently terminate your Retailer Account;
4. reduce any Credit Limit to zero;
5. apply any amount in Faire’s possession or control which is owed to you toward reduction of the Outstanding Credit Amount
6. assess an additional fee in respect of collection and related services which shall be calculated by applying interest on any amount outstanding from you at the rate of 8% per annum from the due date of such amount to its date of payment; and/or
7. If you fail to make payment 60 days past due of any part of an enforceable Outstanding Credit Amount or any other due and enforceable amount under these Terms, and you have not otherwise opted into a payment plan program for that amount due, you may be automatically enrolled into a 12-week payment plan, and you hereby agree to pay the total amount due in equal weekly instalments over such 12-week period. You acknowledge and agree that the Brand (via its Payment Processor) will collect the instalments by automatically charging you using the payment method(s) included in your Retailer Account (including but not limited to direct debit) and, to the extent necessary, you agree to procure any authorization required for the automatic collection of the instalments.
Faire reserves the right in these circumstances, acting on behalf of the relevant creditor, to turn over the collection of any amount due from you to a collection agency or seek any other legal or equitable remedies available to collect any outstanding debt.
Indemnity to Faire. You acknowledge that, if you fail to make payment when due of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or other amount owing under these Terms, Faire may, as a matter of good platform management, make payment of the amount due to the relevant creditor (the “Discharged Creditor”). You acknowledge and agree that to the extent that Faire does this, you shall be liable to Faire in the same amount and to the same extent as you were liable to the Discharged Creditor and you shall indemnify Faire against any costs, detriment, damage or losses which it suffers as a consequence of your non-payment of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or other amount owing under these Terms when due.

2. 60-Day Terms: the Brand grants you a period of interest-free trade credit on the basis of which you are obliged to make payment of the Purchase Price on the day falling 60 days after the date on which the Contract is concluded.
Availability of 60 Days Terms. In determining on behalf of the Brands whether to make 60 Day Terms payment timing available to you in respect of any Contract, Faire will consider your credit standing and the aggregate amount outstanding from you in respect of all other Contracts under which payment has not yet been made in full (the “Outstanding Credit Amount”). Faire may in its discretion set a credit limit (the “Credit Limit”) which shall apply to all your Contracts such that, although you will generally be approved by Faire for the provision of 60 Day Terms by Brands, if the extension of 60 Days Terms to any new Contract will cause the Outstanding Credit Amount to exceed such Credit Limit, Payment on Shipment Terms shall be applied to that Contract. However, you shall have the option to avoid this consequence by logging onto your Retailer Account and paying down amounts outstanding under other Contracts to reduce the Outstanding Credit Amount by the requisite amount. Faire reserves the right to change any Credit Limit from time to time in its entire discretion and you may request an increase to your Credit Limit through your Retailer Account. Faire may also apply a maximum Contract purchase price size for Contracts to which 60 Day Terms may be applied. You agree that you will not create multiple accounts in an attempt to circumvent spending limits.
Failure to Make Payment & Payment Plan Program. You acknowledge and agree that if you fail to make payment when due of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or any other amount owing under these Terms, Faire may:
1. on behalf of the parties to whom the Outstanding Credit Amount is then owed, give notice making the whole of the Outstanding Credit Amount and any other amount payable by you under these Terms due and payable immediately (if not so already);
2. on behalf of the relevant Brands, cancel or suspend any Contracts;
3. temporarily suspend or permanently terminate your Retailer Account;
4. reduce any Credit Limit to zero;
5. apply any amount in Faire’s possession or control which is owed to you toward reduction of the Outstanding Credit Amount
6. assess an additional fee in respect of collection and related services which shall be calculated by applying interest on any amount outstanding from you at the rate of 8% per annum from the due date of such amount to its date of payment; and/or
7. If you fail to make payment 60 days past due of any part of an enforceable Outstanding Credit Amount or any other due and enforceable amount under these Terms, and you have not otherwise opted into a payment plan program for that amount due, you may be automatically enrolled into a 12-week payment plan, and you hereby agree to pay the total amount due in equal weekly instalments over such 12-week period. You acknowledge and agree that the Brand (via its Payment Processor) will collect the instalments by automatically charging you using the payment method(s) included in your Retailer Account (including but not limited to direct debit) and, to the extent necessary, you agree to procure any authorization required for the automatic collection of the instalments.
Faire reserves the right in these circumstances, acting on behalf of the relevant creditor, to turn over the collection of any amount due from you to a collection agency or seek any other legal or equitable remedies available to collect any outstanding debt.
Indemnity to Faire. You acknowledge that, if you fail to make payment when due of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or other amount owing under these Terms, Faire may, as a matter of good platform management, make payment of the amount due to the relevant creditor (the “Discharged Creditor”). You acknowledge and agree that to the extent that Faire does this, you shall be liable to Faire in the same amount and to the same extent as you were liable to the Discharged Creditor and you shall indemnify Faire against any costs, detriment, damage or losses which it suffers as a consequence of your non-payment of any part of the Outstanding Credit Amount or other amount owing under these Terms when due.

7. Shipping Costs, Lead Times, and Duties

Shipping Costs. Shipping costs will be included on your invoice. Unless you receive free shipping on an eligible order, you are responsible for and agree to pay for all shipping costs displayed on your invoice.
Faire’s Brand Set Shipping feature (“Brand Set Shipping”) allows Brands to (i) pre-select the shipping rate (“Flat Rate”) that you will pay to ship your order to your designated location, or (ii) provide free shipping to you if the order value is above the minimum that the Brand selects (“Free Shipping Minimum”).
If a Brand is not using Brand Set Shipping (or if a Brand’s Flat Rate or Free Shipping Minimum does not apply to your order), your shipping cost will vary depending on the weight of the package and where the package is being shipped from. If a Brand has set a Flat Rate that is applicable to your order, your shipping cost will be the amount of such Flat Rate; if a Brand has set a Free Shipping Minimum that is applicable to your order, your shipping cost will be zero where such minimum order threshold has been met. You acknowledge and agree that the Brand reserves the right to request an adjustment to the shipping cost prior to order fulfillment of a Flat Rate order, which you may either accept or reject. If you do not accept the adjustment request (including by not responding to the notification from the Brand), your order will be canceled. If you accept the revised shipping cost, your order will be fulfilled and you agree to pay the revised shipping cost as communicated by the Brand.
You acknowledge and agree that Flat Rates and Free Shipping Minimums are set by Brands in their sole discretion and may not be available in all areas or for all orders. Faire may terminate or modify the Brand Set Shipping feature without advance notice, at any time and for any reason.
Lead Times. You acknowledge that lead times vary on how long it takes for a Brand to ship a product. Average lead times are displayed on the Brand's page and/or when the product is in your cart. If any order takes longer than 2 weeks to ship, your invoice due date and return window (if applicable) are automatically extended by 2 weeks. Once the Brand accepts the order, the expected ship date will be updated in your Retailer Account. You will receive a notice once the product has shipped, giving you a tracking number and letting you know the cost of shipping. This information is also available in your Retailer Account.
Customs Duties and Similar Fees. You acknowledge that if you purchase products sold on the Services that are located outside of the country you are based in, you are acting as the importer of record for any such products purchased. You further acknowledge that you are responsible to pay any customs or excise duties, tariffs, taxes, or other fees associated with or resulting from international purchases (unless otherwise explicitly offered by Faire). Although Faire may surface customs or tariff-related information provided by Brands such as the country of origin of certain products and USMCA qualification, and Faire may also attempt to estimate possible duties and other fees resulting from international purchases, you acknowledge that the information provided by Brands may be inaccurate or outdated, Faire’s estimates may be inaccurate, Faire is not required to provide such estimates, and you are solely responsible for conducting the necessary due diligence to determine possible duties, tariffs, taxes and other fees associated with importation. You will not have any recourse against Faire if Faire’s estimate is inaccurate or if the customs or tariff-related information provided by Brands is inaccurate.

8. Returns, Refunds, Cancellations

Returns. Faire offers free returns on qualifying orders placed with any Brand whereby from the date the order is placed, you have the same number of days to apply to return the product for a full refund as you have to pay the invoice (“Return Eligibility Period”) subject to certain limitations identified in our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy. Faire may, at its discretion, require you to ship the returned order to a specified location, in which case Faire will cover the associated shipping costs. When goods are returned to Faire by a Retailer, Faire may at its option redistribute those products through its various redistribution channels. To qualify for free returns and prevent future charges, you must adhere to Faire return policies as outlined in our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy. You acknowledge and agree that any orders from a Brand not covered in Faire’s Return Policy are not eligible for return, except under certain limited circumstances described therein. Although Faire agrees to pay free shipping on returned items that qualify, you acknowledge and agree that you pay for all shipping costs to your retail store. Those shipping costs are non-refundable, even if you later return those items for free under this Section.
Refunds and cancellations. If you receive a product that is damaged, the shipment includes missing items or you do not receive the product by the expected ship date, you must report the issue within 14 days of receiving the product as outlined in our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy. You agree that if you do not timely report the issue, the product shall be deemed delivered and satisfactory.
