Article 2 - Subject - Matter

These General Terms and Conditions governing the use of the Collector Square Platform lay down the terms and conditions under which the Members are authorised to use the Collector Square Platform in order to get in contact with one another.

Article 3 – The sales process

3.1

A Seller offering a Product must first arrange to get it surveyed. To that end, the Seller must fill in the Survey form (available on the Collector Square Platform) for the Product that he wishes to be surveyed. At least 2 (two) photographs must be provided in order for Collector Square to perform the Survey as soon as possible. The Seller may also get in touch directly with the Collector Square Platform by telephone on +33 1 46 34 35 30 or by e-mail at contact@collectorsquare.com. If it is necessary to draw up an inventory of a collection, the Specialists of Collector Square can travel on site and perform the Survey directly at the domicile of the Seller or at the location of his choosing.

3.2

The Specialists of Collector Square shall conduct an initial Survey of the Product proposed by the Seller within 48 (forty eight) hours. If the Product is found to be Compliant, the Specialists shall quote an estimated Price in keeping with the state of the market and the distinctive elements of the Seller’s Product. The estimate shall be sent by e-mail together with a draft sale mandate.

3.3

The Seller may either accept or reject the terms of the sale mandate proposed by the Collector Square Platform. If the Seller accepts the terms of the sale, he should confirm his acceptance of the terms of the sale proposed by Collector Square by e-mail. The sale mandate must be signed and must be provided to Collector Square upon handover of the Product by the Seller.
Collector Square shall arrange for the collection of the object by a specialised carrier within 48 (forty eight) hours following the acceptance of the estimate. The Seller shall receive an e-mail from the carrier with the packing list to be affixed to the package and a hypertext link to schedule the collection of the Product on the date and at the location of his choosing. The costs incurred in connection with the transportation of the Seller’s Product to Collector Square shall be prepaid by Collector Square. The Seller shall provide the package to the carrier upon collection, together with the signed sale mandate confirming the terms that the Seller previously accepted by e-mail. The Seller may also send the mandate by any means of his choosing, as soon as possible, to the address of the Collector Square Platform, namely 36 boulevard Raspail, 75007 Paris, France.
The Seller may also opt to bring the Product in person during the Survey or exhibition days staged by the Collector Square Platform (see our detailed timetable of events).
The Seller may also refuse to entrust the Product after receiving the estimate from Collector Square. In that case, the process shall end at that stage, bearing in mind that no fee shall be charged for the Survey that was carried out. Pursuant to the Survey process, a Certificate shall be delivered guaranteeing that the Product is not counterfeit and complies with the description provided by the Seller. Failing this, should the Product be considered as contentious, it shall be returned to the Seller, at his expense.

3.4

Upon receipt of the Product, the Specialist shall examine it physically (visually) and shall confirm his estimate and the terms of sale at which the Product shall be proposed to prospective Buyers. Collector Square shall then undertake the technical and marketing work involved in putting the Product on sale online. The Specialist shall draw up the description of the Product (characteristics, background, state, etc.). Collector Square shall then have photographs of the Product taken in order to showcase the Product. Finally, the details of the Product shall be uploaded onto the Collector Square Platform within 48 (forty eight) hours following receipt of the Product.

3.5

When a Buyer confirms his intention to purchase a Product, this confirmation shall only become effective once the Buyer makes a secure electronic payment directly on the site of Collector Square.
The sale is deemed to have taken place when Collector Square acknowledges receipt and cashes the entire Transaction Price paid by the Buyer in an escrow account; the payment of the Transaction Price by the Buyer to Collector Square shall be tantamount to its approval of the Seller’s offer. The Buyer acknowledges that its acceptance of the offer is made in light of the description of the Product that is on sale and subject to the delivery of the Survey Certificate, and that it is tantamount to a firm undertaking to enter into a contract with the Seller on the terms that are on offer. The Product is then dispatched to the Buyer.

3.6

Once the Product has been received by the Buyer, Collector Square shall alone be empowered to instruct the escrow account to pay the Price to the Seller, after subtracting the commission and the delivery costs prepaid by Collector Square. The consideration for the transaction shall be transferred after expiry of the Buyer’s cooling off period of forteen full days during which he can withdraw from the sale, within twenty days following the payment by the Buyer.

3.7

The Seller shall retain full ownership of his Product until the completion of the transaction. Until the delivery of the Certificate, Collector Square shall be deemed to be instructed by the Seller to do whatever may be necessary to complete the transaction. Once the Certificate has been delivered, it shall be deemed to be instructed by the Buyer to do whatever may be necessary to complete the transaction. Upon completion of performance of these mandates, Collector Square’s liability as an agent shall be discharged.

3.8

The products will be shipped by professional carriers (DHL or UPS for standard packages) within 48 (forty-eight) working hours following receipt of the Transaction Price paid by the Buyer. Delivery costs depend on the size of the package and the country of delivery and are indicated when you place your order in the cart before payment. In case of non-standard package size or delivery country that is not served by our carriers, some products may be sent by other carriers and be subject to delivery quote, which will be sent by email.

3.9

Should the Product entrusted by the Seller not find a buyer under the terms stated in the sale mandate, Collector Square may propose that the Seller put the Product up for sale again, possibly on new terms.
Should the Product remain unsold after 90 days, Collector Square shall propose that the Seller revise the initial Price. With the Seller’s consent, Collector Square may discount the Price initially on offer. This discount shall be displayed on the site and shall be reflected in the online sales catalogue as well as the product data sheets, in order to accelerate the sale of the Product.
Should the Product remain unsold after 90 days, the Seller may also opt to immediately retrieve the Product, which shall remain his property. The Product shall then be sent back to the Seller, and Collector Square shall bear all the costs.
