Consignment Terms and Conditions

The consignor can opt to receive 65% store credit toward the purchase of new gear.
guardcloset.com will not charge school organizations any fees for consignment.
When checks are issued for payments, they will be valid for 6 months. After 6 months if a check needs to be reissued it will be assessed a $35 fee.
All items on consignment after 3 years become the property of guardcloset.com. When sold, the consignor receives no payment for said item. Items can be returned to consignors at their expense and upon request. Items on consignment may be rented to organizations or used in promotions.
Liability

Payment & Taxes

Pricing
guardcloset.com sets the prices of consignment items in an effort to maximize sales potential and consignor return.

It is the responsibility of the sender to ensure items sent for consignment are in good sales condition, abide by our terms, and are eligible for sale through our organization. guardcloset.com reserves the exclusive right to sell items during the 18 month consignment period. The origin of any items will remain confidential and negotiations on price of said items will be handled exclusively by guardcloset.com.
