Introduction

1. Acceptance Of Terms

1.1 These provisions set out the Terms and Conditions (“Terms“) on which you (the “Seller“, “you” and “your“) may become a member of the Colourwarehouse website (“Site“) to sell products which must not be Prohibited Products (as defined in Schedule 2) (“Products“) to customers of the Site (“Customers“).

1.2 Your use of the Site is governed by these Terms and Conditioners. Please take the time to read these documents, as they include important terms which apply to you.

1.3 Any words following the terms including, include, in particular, for example or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words, description, definition, phrase or term preceding those terms.

2. About Us

2.1 The Site is operated by Colourwarehouse (“Colourwarehouse“, “us“, “we” and “our“) with registered address at 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. To contact us, please use our Contact Us page.

3. Overview Of Roles

3.1 Colourwarehouse allows Sellers to list and sell their Products on the Site contracting in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. Please note that although Colourwarehouse facilitates the transactions which are carried out through the Site, Colourwarehouse is neither a buyer nor a seller of the Products and does not assume any responsibility nor make any representation, warranty or guarantee, whether express or implied, as to the Products.

3.2 Where a Customer orders a Product through the Site, the contract is formed solely between the Seller and the Customer at the completion of the sale (“Contract”). A Contract will comprise the Seller’s terms (which include, as a minimum, the Colourwarehouse Terms and Conditions), the email confirmation of the Customer’s order and the information on the Seller’s shop (“Seller’s Shop“). Colourwarehouse is not a party to that Contract, is not liable for the Contract or any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with it nor is Colourwarehouse acting as the Seller’s agent.

3.3 The Terms (and the documents referred to in them) may be updated from time to time. Colourwarehouse will give the Seller prior written notice of such changes but please check these Terms every time you wish to use our Site to ensure you understand the Terms that apply at that time. 

3.4 Seller details are displayed on the Site on the Seller’s Shop (linked to from the Product pages).

4. Process

4.1 During the registration process the Seller will be asked to select a country of registration. This country must be featured among the list of supported countries offered by our payment service provider PayPal.com (“PayPal“) and the Seller must be able to set up a business account in the chosen country.

4.2 Sellers selecting a country outside of the supported countries offered by PayPal will be warned “Country Warning” that they should only continue with registration if they have secured services with PayPal. Please note that if a Seller completes the application process, including payment for the Monthly Subscription Fee (as defined in clause 6.1), and continues past the Country Warning, Colourwarehouse will not be liable for a refund of the Monthly Subscription Fee.

4.3 Once the Seller has successfully completed the application process, and your Monthly Subscription Fee (as defined in clause 6.1) has been received, the Seller will be given their own dedicated area of access called the Seller Dashboard (“SD“). There the Seller can upload, update and review detailed Listing Information (as defined in clause 7.1.6) for its Products (photos, text, shipping methods etc). Orders will be logged into the SD. From here, the Seller will be able to manage Customer orders, view and manage Disputes (as defined in clause 7.6.4), view and print sales history between the Seller and Colourwarehouse, update and manage stock levels, view performance reports, manage their subscription and handle Customer feedback. All financials will be stored in the SD and all communication with the Customers and Colourwarehouse team will be made through the SD.

4.4 The Seller will then be able to either create a new Listing (as defined in clause 7.1.6) or use an existing Listing to list their Products.

4.5 If another seller is already using a Listing and you wish to update the details for that Product listed on that Listing, you can submit a request to change the Listing, however this will not automatically update on the Site without Colourwarehouse accepting the changes. A Listing can only be edited without Colourwarehouse accepting the changes, in a limited capacity, if you are the only seller currently using that Listing and/or no other seller is currently using that Listing.

4.6 Colourwarehouse may restrict the Seller’s access to the SD in the following circumstances:

4.6.1 pursuant to clause 6.3.3 (non-payment);

4.6.2 on termination of the Seller’s membership of the Site;

4.6.3 if the Seller fails to dispatch orders and Colourwarehouse, having made reasonable attempts to contact the Seller, believes that the Seller is inactive;

4.6.4 if Colourwarehouse, having made reasonable attempts to contact the Seller, otherwise believes that the Seller is inactive;

4.6.5 if Colourwarehouse has reasonable grounds to believe that the Seller is using the Site to sell counterfeit goods or is otherwise infringing the intellectual property or proprietary rights of any third party;

4.6.6 if the Seller has a high rate of cancellations or refunds or is failing to deal with Customers’ queries or complaints;

4.6.7 if there are other issues with the Seller’s listings which Colourwarehouse believes could give rise to issues with Customers; or

4.6.8 pursuant to clause 9.4,

in which case the Seller will only have access that enables the Seller to view and manage current orders, view invoices between the Seller and Colourwarehouse, mark orders as dispatched and handle Customer feedback (“Restricted Access“). Whilst a Seller has Restricted Access, its Listings will not be visible to Customers and Customers will not be able to place orders with the Seller.

4.7 When payment is made by a Customer, the funds will be paid straight to the Seller’s PayPal payment account in accordance with PayPal’s terms and conditions. The funds are placed on “Partner Hold” until the Seller dispatches the order to the Customer and updates the order status to “dispatched”. Colourwarehouse will then instruct PayPal to remove the “partner hold” and release the funds to the Seller, minus the Product Sales Fee in accordance with the process set out under clause 6.2.

4.8 Colourwarehouse will provide the Seller with a VAT invoice monthly for each Monthly Subscription Fee (as defined in clause 6.1) and the Product Sales Fees (as defined in clause 6.2). The VAT invoice will be prepared and provided to the Seller during the subsequent month following the period for which the VAT invoice relates e.g. the VAT invoice relating to the calendar month of February will be prepared on the 1st of March, the VAT invoice relating to the calendar month of March will be prepared on the 1st of April.

5. Commencement And Duration

5.1 The Seller’s membership will commence on the later of:

5.1.1 the Seller having confirmed their acceptance of these Terms; and

5.1.2 the date on which we have approved the Seller’s application, received the first Monthly Subscription Fee and granted the Seller access to the SD.

(“Commencement Date”) and shall continue unless and until terminated in accordance with clause 6.3.4 or clause 9.

6. Membership And Charges

6.1 Monthly Subscription Fee

6.1.1 Every Seller is required to pay a subscription fee for each calendar month during which they are a member of the Site (“Monthly Subscription Fee“). This fee is based on a monthly rolling contract and there is no minimum commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, references to “monthly” in these Terms shall refer to calendar months.

6.1.2 The Monthly Subscription Fee is a non-refundable fee which will be processed online by recurring payments made in advance starting on the Commencement Date and then monthly thereafter (“Due Date”) unless the Seller serves 30 days’ written notice through the SD to terminate these Terms under clause 9.3.

6.1.3 Where the first Monthly Subscription Fee is taken on the 28th, 29th, 30th or 31st of a month, the subsequent Due Dates will be as close to the original payment dates as possible and no later than the date on which the first Monthly Subscription Fee was taken. The Monthly Subscription Fee is subject to VAT (where applicable) subject to receipt by the Seller of a valid VAT invoice from Colourwarehouse.

6.1.4 There are two different Monthly Subscription Fee options, which may be increased from time to time by Colourwarehouse (in accordance with clause 3.3), as detailed in Schedule 1, which includes our Standard Seller Subscription Fee and a Partner Seller Subscription Fee.

6.1.4.1 The Partner Seller Subscription Fee includes additional services and marketing activities/routes as advertised on the Site. Sellers who choose to sign up with the Partner Seller Subscription Fee as their Monthly Subscription Fee will be known as “Partner Sellers“.

6.1.4.2 Please note that the additional services and marketing activities/routes detailed on the Site are examples only and should be treated as such. The Seller acknowledges and accepts that not all services or marketing activities/routes mentioned on the Site may be available to all sellers.

6.1.4.3 All Partner Sellers will have access to Colourwarehouse’s Priority Support Team, who will support them with questions and advice relating to selling on Colourwarehouse.

6.2 Product Sales Fee and Product Boost Fee

6.2.1 When a sale is made for a Product listed on the Seller’s Listing, a fee (“Product Sales Fee”) is payable by the Seller. This is made up of two parts:

6.2.1.1 the first part is calculated as a percentage of the Product Sale Price (as defined in clause 7.1.6); and

6.2.1.2 the second part is a percentage of the shipping costs associated with that order calculated at the flat rate set out in Schedule 1.

6.2.2 Product Boost Fees may also be payable as described in clause 7.7.6.

6.3 Remedies for late payment

Without limiting any of our other rights, if the Seller fails to pay to us any undisputed amounts owed to us under these Terms on the due date for payment, at our option we shall have the right to:

6.3.1 deduct the outstanding amounts from any future funds received from Customers in payment for the Seller’s Products ordered through the Site i.e. offset any amounts that are payable by you to us against any payments we make to you, until any outstanding amounts are settled; and/or

6.3.2 seek any other payment or reimbursement from you by any other lawful means; and/or

6.3.3 in the case of failure to pay the Monthly Subscription Fees, grant the Seller only Restricted Access to the SD until payment has been made. Restricted Access will be granted via an automated process, as follows. If the first payment attempt is unsuccessful, Colourwarehouse’s system will make 3 more attempts (each one 24 hours after the last) to collect the Monthly Subscription Fees and each failure will trigger an automatic email notification to the Seller. After a total of 4 unsuccessful attempts the Seller’s account will be automatically suspended, following which the Seller will need to reactivate the account (and pay the outstanding Monthly Subscription Fees) to regain access; and/or

6.3.4 charge the Seller interest on the overdue amount at a rate of 4% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Seller must pay us interest together with the overdue amount.

7. Seller Commitments And Order Processing

7.1 In signing up to these Terms, the Seller commits to:

7.1.1 sell Products on terms which include, as a minimum, the Colourwarehouse Terms and Conditioners;

7.4.1 Product Sale Prices should be inclusive of any applicable VAT and will be deemed to be so (if applicable to the Seller and such applicability is to be solely determined by the Seller and not the responsibility of Colourwarehouse);

7.4.1.1 Each Product Sale Price should not exceed £1,000,000 inclusive of tax and shipping. Product listings with Product Sale Prices exceeding £1,000,000 will be removed from the Site.

7.4.2.1 it will comply with clause 12.5 of the Colourwarehouse Terms and Conditions in relation to incorrectly priced Products;

7.4.2.2 where the Seller has updated the price of a Product or Products, the updated price may take up to 2 hours to display on the Site; and

7.4.3 Product Sale Prices can be added to the Site using the SD.

7.4.4.1 is obliged to fulfil and dispatch the Customer order as soon as reasonably practicable and for receipt within the following timeframes (“Timeframes“) which run from the point the Seller’s handling time (“Handling Time“) expires or, if no Handling Time is set, the point the order is submitted by the Customer through the Site:

Designated delivery Timeframes (in Working Days): 1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-5, 4-6, 6-8, 6-10, 10-15, 14-30

7.4.5 The Seller acknowledges and agrees that Colourwarehouse reserves the right to refund the Customer’s payment for an order if the Seller doesn’t meet the Timeframes for handling that order as detailed above.

7.4.6 The Seller only accepts a Customer order on dispatching the Product to the Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, the debiting of a payment card shall not constitute acceptance of an order. Where a Product is not marked as dispatched within 28 days of the order being made, the order will be cancelled or refunded.

7.4.7 Where a Seller has not accepted an order as described in 7.4.6 or where the Seller has rejected or deemed to have rejected an order, Colourwarehouse shall be entitled to refund the Customer’s payment for that order.

7.5 Delivery/post and packing

7.5.1 A range of shipping options will be available for the Seller to choose to display on the Seller’s SD area. The Seller will be responsible for selecting which options shall apply. The Seller may choose to offer any appropriate option for the Seller’s Products and may choose from free shipping, flat rate shipping, weight based shipping or multiple shipping costs where multiple Products have been ordered within the same order.

7.5.2 If additional packaging and postage costs apply to the Seller’s Products, where for example the Products are heavy, fragile, bulky or precious or perishable, the Seller is responsible for ensuring that these costs are considered on their Listing in the Product Sale Price.

7.5.3 The Seller must ensure that they select the shipping options from the SD that apply to their Product, and once an order is made, they must ensure they send it according to the postage/shipping method selected by the Customer, or better. The Seller is responsible for the shipping and liable for any losses in the post including any non-delivery, mis-delivery, late delivery, theft or other error or mistake in connection with Products ordered through the Site.

7.5.4 The Seller must ensure that the Product is wrapped in a professional manner suitable for the Product. The wrapping must be appropriate for the Product (for example without limitation (a) delicate items should be wrapped in bubble packaging and (b) Products listed in any of the Sex & Adult categories should be delivered in discreet packaging).

7.5.5 The Seller must ensure that all customs and import duties are to be pre-paid for Products being delivered to addresses within the UK. The Customer is not responsible for the customs and import duties: the price shown for Products on the Site (along with any applicable delivery charges) is the price the Customer pays.

Orders will not be visible to the Seller via the SD until after the end of the 30 minute period for automatic Cancellations.

7.6.6 Any request for Cancellation (under clause 7.6.1) or a goodwill refund (under clause 7.6.2) after the end of the 30 minute period shall be dealt with directly between the Seller and the Customer through the SD. The Customer must contact the Seller through their online account and the Seller will receive an email notification through the SD.

7.6.8.1 provided that the Customer has not used the Product and it is returned to the Seller in its original packaging, the Seller shall provide the Customer with a full refund of the Product Sale Price and any postage costs; or

7.6.8.2 if the Customer has used the Product or had it installed, the Seller may not be able to sell it to someone else, thereby reducing its value. The Seller may reduce the Customer’s refund of the Product Sale Price (excluding postage costs) to reflect any such reduction in the value of the Product; and

7.6.8.3 the Seller shall process any refund due to the Customer as soon as possible (usually within 3 Working Days) and in any case no later than 14 days from the date on which the Seller receives the Product back from the Customer.

7.6.9 If the Customer requests a goodwill refund (under clause 7.6.2) the Seller shall process the refund as soon as possible (usually within 3 Working Days) after the Seller receives the Product back from the Customer provided that the Product is in an unused and undamaged condition.

7.6.10 If the Customer ends their contract with the Seller and requires a refund because a Product is faulty or misdescribed or because they have a legal right to do so as a result of something the Seller has done wrong, the Seller shall either (at its discretion) (1) pay the costs incurred by the Customer in returning the Product to the Seller or (2) arrange for collection of the Product at the Seller’s cost and refund to the Customer the full cost of the Product and the delivery charges.

7.6.12.2 arrange for collection of the Product at the Seller’s cost.

7.7 Payment

7.7.1 Payments for Products on the Site shall be made directly by a Customer to the Seller through the Site, using PayPal. Transactions shall be recorded on the Seller’s designated SD. The Seller must check the SD daily for alerts of new orders.

7.7.2 Once the Customer has submitted their order through the Site, funds are taken from the Customer and held by PayPal, until the order is marked as dispatched in the SD by the Seller. Only once the order is marked as dispatched will the funds be released from PayPal to the Seller. During this process, the transaction within the Seller’s PayPal account will show as “Payment on hold by partner”.

7.7.3 The Seller hereby appoints Colourwarehouse as its payment processing agent from the purposes of managing payments from Customers and making any necessary refunds on your behalf in line with these Terms.

7.7.4 In addition Colourwarehouse shall notify the Seller by email of orders awaiting dispatch in their SD, but Colourwarehouse does not warrant the reliability of email communications.

7.7.5 Following receipt of such notification, the Seller shall process each and every order it accepts in accordance with the Timeframes, using the Seller’s SD access. Upon dispatch of each order, the Seller shall further confirm this with the Customer, through their SD by clicking the “Dispatch” button. This also signifies acceptance of the Customer’s order.

7.7.6 Subject to clause 7.7.7, Colourwarehouse shall notify PayPal to pay the Seller the Product Sale Price together with shipping costs for the relevant Product less the applicable Product Sales Fee and the applicable Product Boost Fee (and any VAT chargeable by Colourwarehouse on such sums, subject to receipt by the Seller of a valid VAT invoice from Colourwarehouse) (if any). Where the parties agree to a Product Boost Fee, the Seller agrees to pay an addition fee (between 1-10%) if a Product sells from a boosted position of sale. The Seller can control the listings to which the boost function is applied and can disable it as any time although the system can take up to 8 hours to update across all channels (during which time the Product Boost Fee will continue to apply).

7.7.7 Sometimes a Customer may pay for Products using Discount Codes (as defined in our Discount Codes Terms) which we have issued to them through the Site, or we may offer discounts through price crash events. However these promotions shall not affect your right to receive full payment as set out in clause 7.7.6.

7.7.8 Colourwarehouse reserves the right to change the Monthly Subscription Fees or the Product Sales Fee upon providing the Seller with 30 days’ prior written notice.

8. Limitation Of Liability And Indemnity

8.5 From time to time, it will be necessary for Colourwarehouse to perform Site updates and carry out maintenance of the Site.

Fees

Monthly Subscription Fees

Partner Seller Subscription Fee: £39.95 per month (plus VAT)

Selling Fees

Colourwarehouse may charges a different selling fee depending upon the category that your product is placed in on CNETWORK. Our selling fees are detailed below:

Selling Fees (plus VAT) can be found by calculating:

• Correct % of the Product Sale Price (as per Selling Fee table above); and
• 9% of the total delivery cost;

and adding the two to find the total.

Colourwarehouse selling fees are set at a minimum of 1p (1 penny) per product. If, for any reason, the selling fees work out to be less than this amount, the Seller will be charged 1p regardless.

Colourwarehouse may discount Selling Fees for the purposes of the Colourwarehouse Deals platform. Discounted fees are a marketing tool actioned by Colourwarehouse to offer the Customer a saving, and will appear on your invoice (as detailed in clause 4.8) accordingly.
