LWS is a resale marketplace, offering a convenient option for buying and selling high-quality secondhand children’s clothing, shoes and accessories, among other things. You would like LWS to purchase or consign your children’s clothing, shoes and/or accessories (each piece being, an “Item").
Upon receipt, LWS will evaluate each Item to determine, in its sole discretion, its authenticity, quality, and value. The Item’s condition and size, among other things, will affect its valuation. LWS only accepts Items that it determines it its sole discretion: (a) to be in excellent condition; (b) to sell quickly; and (c) to be authentic. Items that does not meet the above requirements will not be accepted and will, according to your choice selected on the form you filled out when you dropped the Items off (the “Intake Form”), be either (a) returned to you or (b) donated to a charity of LWS’s choice. Regardless of the choice indicated on the Intake Form, any Item that has not been accepted by LWS and that has not been picked up within one week of the Invoice Date (as defined below) will be donated to charity.
PRICING AND TYPE OF PAYMENT: After your Clothing has been processed and within fourteen days after you drop off your clothes, LWS send you an email (on a date referred to as the “Invoice Date”) to inform you whether any of your items have been accepted and whether the Items qualify for upfront or consignment payment. Any such determinations, including without limitation: (i) whether an item is accepted or rejected, (ii) whether an Item is designated for upfront or consignment payout, (iii) the non-negotiable upfront payout amount offered for an Item or (iv) the listing price for a Item on consignment, will be made in LWS’s sole discretion and may be based on a variety of factors including seasonality and the composition of our existing inventory.
NON-NEGOTIABLE PRICING. In consideration for processing your clothes, you agree that the initial listing amounts and upfront payout amounts are final and non-negotiable. Sellers will earn between 10% - 40% of the resale price of each Item.
