No. You remain in full control of who rents your showcase. See the brand details first and decide. If you require more information about a brand or enquiry, simply contact us and we will find you the information you need.

RENTING PERIOD

What the brand can do in my store?

When it comes to the “permitted to”, the brand can only display its jewelry or watch pieces in the showcase during the renting period. All other permissions such as:

– presence of a brand representative or promotor in the store,

– creation by the brand of a private event, sales event or press event in the store,

must be clearly specified and accepted beforehand by the retailer.

Do I have to accept the presence of a brand representative or promotor into my store?

No. You remain in full control of your store and showcase. However, experience shows that clause collaboration between brand and retailer is crucial for success.

We highly recommend to request a sales guide or manual which will be use by your sales team as a training aid. Basically, it is a series of quick responses on customers’ common questions to help your sales team convert sales more effectively.

Who decide of the visual merchandising?

Great visual merchandising is essential to grab a customer’s attention and brands know what works for their collections. Based on the size of the showcase, brands must present a clear guideline to display their jewelry or watches (and provide props if necessary).

Accepting a booking request confirm the acceptance of the display guideline.

If you decide to charge for merchandising fee, it must be clearly started in your listing’s Retailer Rules, including the dollar amount.

What happens if the brand wants to stay longer?

You remain in full control of your store and showcase at all times. If you are happy of a brand and accept to extend the booking period, a booking period extension form can be signed.

You need to notify the additional booking period and rate in the extension booking form. To calculate your final booking rate and Pop Up Showcase fee, just add 15% to your booking price.

LEGAL, CONTRACTS

Who is my agreement with?

The agreement is always between you and the brand. Pop Up Showcase is preparing the draft documents for both parties, to review, date and sign, ensuring the process of renting your showcase is hassle-free (or you can use your own legal documents).

How does the agreement work?

The agreement is based on two legal documents:

  • The license agreement.
  • The consignment agreement.

The license agreement is a legal document between you and the brand stating the rental amount, terms and conditions, responsibilities, and dates of your booking. The consignment agreement is legal document for transfer, storage, sale and resale of jewelry and/or watches owned by the brand.

There are standard documents and a draft copy will be attached to your offer, which you can review before signing. If you have a license or consignment agreement that you would prefer to use, please send it to us when listing your showcase.

Only once you countersign the documents is the agreement completed and effective.

What is the rental agreement?

The rental agreement or license agreement is a legal document between you and the brand stating the rental amount, terms and conditions, responsibilities, and dates of your booking.

What is the consignment agreement?

The consignment agreement is legal document for transfer, storage, sale and resale of jewelry and/or watches owned by the brand.

When do I get the agreements?

Pop Up Showcase is preparing the draft documents for both parties, to review, date and sign, ensuring the process of renting your showcase is hassle-free.

The document is sent when both parties are agreed on the price, dates and renting rules.

What happens if a Brand cancels their booking?

Sometimes plans change for Brands and they may need to cancel a confirmed booking. Pop Up Showcases has developed a cancellation policy that provide flexibility for Brands while still protecting Retailer who has reserved their showcases for Brands.

In case of any cancellation the Pop Up Showcase service fee of 15% will be retained.

What if I need to cancel a booking I have confirmed with a Brand?

The cancellation of a confirmed booking by a retailer can create many serious issues for the brand. As such, in the event of any cancellation of a confirmed booking, Pop Up Showcase reserves the right to impose penalties, and suspending or terminating the Retailer’s account.

PAYMENT, INSURANCE

How does the payment work?

Retailer payment safety and support is incredibly important to us.

Brands are charged in full as soon as the booking request has been accepted by the retailer. As a result, brands cannot require partial deposits to secure showcases in their listings.

To book a space, brands must send the payout within 15 days of the start of the reservation directly to the bank of the retailer. The Brand’s payout takes place for the license charge minus the Pop Up Showcase service fee of 15%.

For example, a showcase listed at $100/day would net the retailer an $85 payout.

Do I need an insurance?

Yes. You need an insurance policy in place for stolen and broken items. The insurance must cover third party and consignment items. Copy of the insurance policy must be sent to the brand before signing the agreement.

Is the payment secure and guarantee?

Accepting a booking means the guarantee to be paid directly in your bank account before the start of the booking period. There is no better guarantee.

Can I require a security deposit?

You don’t need a security deposit from brands:

  • You are guaranteed to be paid: brands are charged in full as soon as the booking request has been accepted.
  • You are guaranteed against damages: you are renting the right to use your showcase, not your store.

Will brands be insured?

Brands must have an insurance policy in place for stolen and broken merchandise.

DISPUTE, MEDIATION

Who do I speak to if I have a problem?

Every booking is assigned to a manager.

If you have a problem during the booking process or booking time, contact our retailer team retailer@popupshowcase.com, and we’ll help sort it out as quickly as possible.

What does the dispute resolution service do?

Mediation is a great way to solve traditional disputes and can be a much cheaper and quicker process than litigation. If you are unable to reach a resolution with the Brand or feel uncomfortable contacting them directly, you can escalate to our team by emailing to dispute@popupshowcase.com a thorough description of the issue.

By involving Pop Up Showcase in your dispute, you agree to accept our decision.
