This Agreement incorporates Tried Equestrian's current Consignment Acceptance Guide, which outlines brand eligibility and acceptance standards based on resale performance and demand.

This document constitutes the Consignment Agreement between the below signed name ("Consignor") and The Tried Equestrian, LLC ("TE"), on the below signed date, subject to the following Terms and Conditions:

1. CONSIGNMENT PROCEDURE: TE agrees to process and determine the salability of Consignor's items and if deemed fit for re-sale, market the items for sale. Upon the sale of said items, TE shall take a commission and pay the remaining sales revenue to Consignor less any incurred costs. Please check our website for the most updated list of accepted items for consignment. If you have questions on the acceptability of an item, please send us an email before shipping said item. Consignors agree to send a minimum of $500 total retail value in consigned items when using our mail-in service. TE shall determine pricing on all consigned items. Consignor shall receive an itemized list of all consigned items accepted by TE and access to a Consignor Portal to monitor their sales. A new Agreement shall be signed each time any new item(s) is/are consigned.

2. UNACCEPTABLE ITEMS: TE reserves the right to reject any item for any reason for resale. Items must be in good to new with tags condition (condition to be determined by TE only). Consignors whose items are deemed unacceptable for resale will have the option to either: a) donate the items (as indicated in their signed agreement), or b) receive them back at their own expense. If return shipping is not paid within 14 days of notice, all rights to the item are forfeited and the item will be handled at the sole discretion of TE, including donation, resale, or recycling.

3. PROCESSING FEE: For convenience TE happily supplies shipping labels and extends our discounted shipping rates to Consignors. If Consignor chooses to ship using prepaid shipping labels provided by TE, Consignor will be charged a $20 processing fee per prepaid shipping label, to be deducted from monthly sales. Saddles shipped using a prepaid shipping label provided by TE are charged a $50 processing fee per saddle instead of the $20 fee, to be deducted from the sale of the saddle. Consignor agrees to pack items in the fewest and smallest boxes possible. TE reserves the right to charge market rates for shipping surcharges.

4. SALES REVENUE/PAYMENT TO CONSIGNOR: When a consigned item sells, Consignor will receive payment for the sale of the item in the second month following the month the item(s) sold (for example, a Consignor will receive sales revenue in June for a consigned item that sells in April).

5. DISCOUNTS: All items are consigned for a minimum period of six months (180 days). During this period, TE reserves the right to discount unsold items in order to facilitate a sale at the following rate: 1) immediately up to 20% for incentive discounts; 2) at 3 months the item can be further discounted at 30% of original asking price; 3) at 4 months the item can be further discounted at 40% of original asking price; 4) at 5 months the item can be further discounted at 50% of original asking price; and 5) at 6 months the item can be discounted to any price TE deems will sell the item.

6. UNSOLD ITEMS: If items remain unsold after 6 months, TE reserves the right to further discount items and/or remove them from inventory. Consignors will be contacted and may choose to have items returned (shipping + handling fees apply) or donate them. Any consigned items which have not sold may be picked up prior to the expiration date of this Agreement for a fee of $10 per item and any associated cleaning fees.

7. SHIPPING COSTS: TE will deduct partial shipping costs for free shipping used as a promotion or shipments that incur oversize fees. Shipping costs are based on market rates and capped at 10% of the original listing price per item.

8. CLEANING AND REPAIR FEES: TE will evaluate all inventory prior to listing and make any necessary restorations including but not limited to cleaning, polishing, repairs, dry cleaning, laundering and sewing repairs. Such costs will be deducted from Consignor's sales revenue.

9. TE'S COMMISSION SCALE: TE collects commission based on the following tiered pricing scale: 1) TE reserves the right not to list any item it would price at $19.99 or under; such items will be returned or donated according to Section 2 "Unacceptable Items" herein; 2) Consignor will receive 20% of sales revenue for sale of a consigned item priced by TE at $20.00 to $49.99; 3) Consignor will receive 40% of sales revenue for sale of a consigned item priced by TE at $50.00 to $99.99; 4) Consignor will receive 50% of sales revenue for sale of a consigned item priced by TE at $100.00 to $249.99; 5) Consignor will receive 60% of sales revenue for sale of a consigned item priced by TE at $250.00 to $499.99; 6) Consignor will receive 70% of sales revenue for sale of a consigned item priced by TE at $500.00 to $999.99; and 7) Consignor will receive 80% of sales revenue for sale of a consigned item priced by TE at $1,000.00 or more. If Consignor elects to receive sales revenue as TE store credit, Consignor will receive an additional 10% of sales revenue (an additional 5% for items priced by TE at $1,000.00 or more). If Consignor elects to receive sales revenue in the form of a donation, TE agrees to take a reduced commission. If Consignor fails to select a payment method for receipt of sales revenue, TE will default to sending check payments.

10. INDEMNIFICATION: CONSIGNOR SHALL INDEMNIFY, RELEASE, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS FOREVER TE, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, successors and assigns from any and all claims and liabilities, of whatsoever kind (including but not limited to attorneys' fees), arising from or connected to this Agreement.

11. WARRANTY: Consignor warrants and agrees that the items to be consigned are owned by Consignor and that there are no liens, judgements, or other encumbrances against the ownership, including all right of sale or transfer of the consigned items. TE shall use all conventional safeguards in the handling and displaying of consigned items but has no legal responsibility for items left on consignment which will be disposed of or donated per TE policy.

12. RISK OF LOSS: Damage to items or loss of items in shipping to TE are the risk of the Consignor. TE's prepaid shipping comes with standard insurance in the amount of $100. Should Consignor require additional insurance on their items, Consignor is responsible for purchasing and securing such insurance. TE only assumes possession and, therefore, risk of loss of items once received by TE.

13. ASSIGNMENT: No party may assign or transfer this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

16. ATTORNEYS' FEES: In the event that suit or arbitration is brought under or in connection with this Agreement or to enforce the Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incidental to any such proceedings, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in collecting any judgment awarded as a result of liability established pursuant to this Agreement.

17. VOLUNTARINESS: Each of the parties hereto fully understands the terms, conditions, and provisions of this agreement, voluntarily enters into the same and believes its terms to be fair, just, adequate and reasonable.

18. SEVERABILITY: The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of the Agreement or of any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

19. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE: This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any legal action commenced to enforce or interpret this Agreement shall be brought in Los Angeles County, California.
