(iv)HULA will provide you with a proposed Product Description and will take into account any comments you may have. Size guides provided on the Website are only general size guidelines and, as such, they may not be accurate. Sizes may vary according to original merchandisers and to the territory for which the Products are destined. Product sizes that are stated on the Website are the sizes stated on their label of the original merchandiser. Unlabelled items will be described as "without care label" on the Website, along with the relevant Product measurements. If the size label is missing, the Seller must provide the size of the Product at the time it was originally bought. All sizes and measurements are approximate; and

(v)HULA's in-house team authenticates each item it receives. As additional assurance for Buyers and Sellers, HULA conducts an authentication process with Entrupy (a third-party AI authentication service) for most designer handbags and leather goods. Any items that cannot be confirmed as authentic will be rejected, and HULA will charge you an AI authentication fee of HKD 300 per item (or HKD 1,000 if a Hermès or Chanel brand item), an administrative fee of HKD 300, and any other expenses incurred by HULA in this process. HULA takes authentication seriously. If any item is identified as non-authentic, you agree that HULA will notify the Customs and Excise Department or other authority, who may destroy the item to prevent further circulation. You accept that HULA may decide, at its sole discretion, how to proceed with any non-authentic items and that HULA may not return it to you.

5.3.HULA will be free to decide whether to accept or reject any Item for Website Listing at its sole and absolute discretion. Factors taken into account by HULA in making a decision in this regard include, among other things, the Product's desirability, style, seasonality, pricing, condition, and timing.

5.4.For return of Rejected Items and removal of items upon your request, please contact the Consignment Team to arrange collection. HULA will use reasonable endeavours to return them to you within 7 business days, or, if you are a non-Hong Kong Seller, within 14 business days from the day HULA informed you of its decision not to accept the item(s) for Website Listing or from your timely request for HULA to return them to you. You must bear the costs (e.g., shipping fee) for any removal of sale items. HULA will pay for local shipping of any Rejected Items during the consignment process. Should you choose to collect any Rejected Item from HULA, you must inform HULA in writing and collect the item from HULA HUB within 7days. Any seller requested removal item must be collected within 7 days from HULA's confirmation that it is ready for collection. If HULA does not receive a response within 28 days from the first email reminder or if you do not collect the item from HULA HUB within 14 days from HULA's confirmation, you will be deemed to have agreed that HULA may donate the item.

5.5. You must notify HULA by email (???@TheHula.com) or Whatsapp (+852 6290 2106) of any discrepancies in condition of any items which HULA returns to you within 1 week from receipt of the item, failing which you accept that no discrepancies in condition exist and that the item was received in good order.

6.1.Once the following matters have been agreed between HULA and you, HULA will email you a Listing Confirmation, confirming:

(iii)You agree and confirm not to offer any item for which you have received a Listing Confirmation for sale through any other means, whether via other online platforms, by you personally, or otherwise, unless and until HULA has confirmed your Withdrawal Request (see Clause 8 below) or otherwise agreed that the item be returned to you; and

(iv)You acknowledge and accept that HULA does not promise or guarantee that HULA will be able to sell the Product on your behalf.

(v)You acknowledge and accept that the copyright of the Product Description and in any photographs of the Product used to promote the sale of the Product, whether on the Website or otherwise, belongs to HULA.

6.3.Products will be listed once ready for Website Listing. HULA reserves, however, the right to postpone Website Listing of a Product in accordance with seasonal fashion trends and/or HULA's marketing strategies.

6.4.If you wish that HULA returns an item after you have received a Listing Confirmation for that item, the provisions of Clauses 8.2 to 8.5 below apply.

7.1. If a Product is not sold within 6 months from its first Listing HULA has the right to automatically reduce the price by 10% (or 5% if Chanel or Hermès), as well as every 6 months thereafter without prior notice. Once the price of a Product has been reduced, it remains reduced. 7.2.If you do not want the price of any Product be reduced in accordance with Clause 7.1 above, you must contact HULA at Sell@thehula.com or via Whatsapp at +852 6290 2106 at least 14 days before the relevant 6-month period under Clause 7.1 above expires, failing which HULA the price may be automatically reduced. Alternatively, HULA may return the item to you.

7.2.If you do not want the selling price of any item reduced, you shall contact HULA at Sell@TheHula.com or via Whatsapp at +852 6290 2106 within 14 days from receipt of the first email informing you of the upcoming reduction. HULA will then decide whether to keep the item without reducing the price or return them to you. If you do not contact HULA within the 14-day period, you shall be deemed to have agreed to the reduction.

7.3. If you notice any clerical or typographical errors, or any errors of similar nature regarding the selling price, you must immediately inform HULA's Customer Service Representative at Sell@TheHula.com or via Whatsapp (+852 6290 2106) and request correction of the error.

8.1.HULA reserves the right to delist your products and return them to you at any time.

8.2.If you wish that HULA returns a Product to you before it is sold, you must submit a request to HULA that the Product be removed from the Website or, prior to Website Listing, that the Product not be listed (Withdrawal Request). Your Withdrawal Request must be made by email (Sell@TheHula.com) or Whatsapp (+852 6290 2106) and state the Product Code (a number starting with W or M, or a batch number starting with U) which you can find in My Accounts > My Inventory. Your Withdrawal Request becomes effective 7 business days after HULA has received. HULA will remove the Product from the Website, after HULA has processed your Withdrawal Request and ascertained that the Product remains unsold.

8.3.If HULA receives a Withdrawal Request from you:

(i)Within 3 months from the date of the Listing Confirmation or receipt by HULA of any item for which with the initial price range has already been pre-agreed, you will be charged a fee of HKD 300 per item (Withdrawal Fee) plus any shipping fee. If the item is a designer bag or leather good item that has been authenticated by Entrupy, an additional fee of HKD 300 (or HKD 1,000 if the item is a Chanel or Hermès bag, or made of leather) will be charged. 

(ii)After expiry of 3 months from the Listing Confirmation, HULA will only charge you for the shipping fee for returning the item to you. The shipping fee will depend on the location of your delivery address and the number of items to be returned to you.

8.4.HULA will use its reasonable endeavours to return the item to you within 7 business days after receipt by HULA of your Withdrawal Request, provided HULA has received full payment of the Withdrawal Fee and, if applicable, the shipping fee and any other fees and charges that may be owed by you to HULA. HULA will invoice you for those fees and costs accordingly. 

8.5.If an item is to be returned to you, whether because you made a Withdrawal Request or HULA decided to remove it from the Website, or otherwise, and HULA does not receive a response from you within 14 business days from the day HULA requested you to confirm delivery of the item to you, you will be deemed to have abandoned the item and HULA will be entitled to dispose of it as it sees fit, including but not limited to donating it or selling it in its own name.

8.6.Products that are offered for sale on third-party marketplaces, platforms or auctions may require longer processing and return periods. If your Withdrawal Request is for such a Product, it may take an additional month for HULA to return it.

8.6. You must notify HULA by email (Sell@TheHula.com) or Whatsapp (+852 6290 2106) of any discrepancies in condition of any items which HULA returns to you within 1 week from receipt of the item, failing which you accept that no discrepancies in condition exist and that the item was received in good order.

9.1.HULA does not charge any commission for its Fully-Managed Consignment Service during the Pre-Listing Process and for or during Website Listing.

9.2.HULA's commission for its Services (see Clause 3 above) (HULA's Fee) will be a percentage of the price at which the Product is actually sold (Final Price), unless otherwise agreed between you and HULA. HULA's Fee will be calculated as follows:

9.3.For fees and costs to be borne by you, if you decide to withdraw a Product from the Website before it has been sold, please see Clause 8 above. 

10.1.Once a Transaction is finalised and HULA has received payment for the Products from the Buyer, HULA will deduct HULA's Fee (see Clause 9 above), other applicable charges from the Final Price (Proceeds). Payment of the Proceeds to you will be made directly by HULA.

10.2.HULA will notify you of any sold Products on the 10th day of every month (or the next business day if the 10th day is not a business day), provided HULA has received full payment from the Buyer by then and the period for the Buyer to submit a Return Request has expired (see Clause 18.2 below). HULA may take one additional month to notify you of any Products that have been sold on third-party marketplaces, platforms or auctions, as this process is not within HULA's sole control and may take more time.

10.3. Sellers can choose to receive HULA credit in lieu of payment at a value of the payment amount for the relevant month plus 10% (which is valid for 1 year from the date of issuance). To exercise this option, the Seller must submit to HULA, by the 25th day of the relevant month, a completed form that HULA will provide to the Seller together with the notification under Clause 10.2. The voucher can be used to buy (i) Products, either through the Website or directly at HULA's Stores, or (ii) HULA gift cards.

10.4 HULA will authorise payments of the Proceeds to Sellers at the end of the month (following the Items Sold email). HULA will only authorise payment if:

(i) HULA has received payment from the Buyer;
(ii) The Buyer has not confirmed by the last day of the previous month to be unsatisfied with the Product;
(iii) HULA has notified the Seller, on the 10th day of that month, of the details of the payments it expects to receive;
(iv) The Seller has not chosen to receive a voucher in lieu of payment (see Clause 10.3 above); and
(v) HULA has received by the 25th day of that month all bank account details it requires to be able to make payment. If HULA does not receive the bank account details by the 25th day of that month, payment will be deferred to the end of the subsequent month.

10.5 Local payments to any bank account in Hong Kong will be made directly to the bank account. For international payments to a bank account outside Hong Kong, HULA will deduct a fee of HKD 250 from the selling price in addition to HULA's Fee. HULA will not pay for any additional bank charges you may incur for international bank transfers. HULA does not pay out in cash or by cheque.

10.6 If within 6 months from HULA's notification under Clause 10.2, HULA has not received all bank account details it requires to be able to make payment to the Seller, the amount payable will be converted into a HULA credit which can be used to buy (i) Products, either through the Website or directly at HULA Stores, or (ii) HULA gift cards.

10.7.In HULA's experience, pre-owned footwear sells at a slower pace in Hong Kong than other pre-owned categories. If pre-owned footwear has been stored for an extended period, the glue in the sole or materials may harden, causing it to break when worn by a Buyer. If this occurs, it can cause inconvenience or embarrassment to the Buyer, in which case HULA may, at its sole discretion, accept a return of the footwear and give the Buyer a refund or a HULA cash voucher. You agree and accept that if this happens to your Product and HULA gives the Buyer a refund or cash voucher, HULA will cancel the sale of your Product and you must return the Proceeds, either by refunding them to HULA, or, if HULA agrees, by deducting them in your next statement if further sales have been generated for you.

11.1.If you are a Non-Hong Kong Seller (see Clause 3.3 above), you are responsible for delivery of the Product to HULA, at your own cost, after HULA has notified you which items HULA is prepared to receive from you for further examination as to their eligibility for Website Listing.

11.2.For fees and costs to be borne by a Non-Hong Seller who decides to withdraw a Product from the Website before it has been sold, see Clause 8 above.

11.3.For payments to Sellers with a bank account outside of Hong Kong, see Clause 10.4 above.

12.1.If your Products are stored at HULA's premises, your Products are covered by insurance against loss and or damage during the time of storage. If a Product is lost or damaged during the time it is stored at HULA's premises, HULA will fully reimburse you for the Product's actual listing price at the time the loss or damage occurred.

12.2.Once a Product has been bought by a Buyer and handed over by HULA to the courier for shipping to the Buyer, the courier alone will be liable for any loss or damage to the Product and HULA will not be liable, whether jointly or severally, for any loss or damage. If the Product is lost or damaged during shipment, HULA will liaise with the courier to negotiate on your behalf, the most favourable reimbursement. This Clause 12.2 will not apply if shipping of the Product to the Buyer was arranged by you.

13.1.HULA is committed to its anti-counterfeit policy set out in this Clause 13.

13.2.HULA will only accept authentic new or pre-owned luxury goods for Website Listing and will use its best endeavours to prevent Website Listing of fake or counterfeited merchandise of any kind.

13.3.By submitting a Listing Request, you agree that HULA will be entitled to inspect, analyse, and examine any Products received from you. If HULA suspects, at any time after it has received a Product from you, that the Product may be counterfeited, HULA will be further entitled to request you to provide proof of purchase of the Product. If HULA is still not satisfied that the Product is authentic, HULA may bring the Product to external authenticators, experts in their field, for final assessments. HULA’s in-house team authenticates each item it receives. For extra assurance, HULA also works with AI partner Entrupy to provide certification for authentic bags.

13.4.If the Product is found to be counterfeited or its authenticity remains uncertain:(i)HULA will reject Website Listing of the Product concerned or immediately withdraw it from the Website, if HULA finds out about it only after Website Listing.(ii)HULA will have the right to suspend or terminate your User Account, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and without notice.(iii)HULA reserves the right to report the incident to the relevant authorities and HULA will fully cooperate with the authorities in any investigation they may carry out. If requested to do so, HULA will provide the relevant authorities with your personal information as per HULA's Terms of Use and HULA's Privacy Policy.(iv)HULA will have the right to inform your Invitees and the owners of the trademark concerned.(v)HULA will not refund any costs incurred by you, whether shipping fees or other costs. HULA will charge the Seller an AI Entrupy authentication fee of HKD 300 per handbag or leather item (or HKD 1,000 for Chanel or Hermés branded handbags and leather items) an administrative fee of HKD 300, and any necessary expenses incurred by HULA in this process.

13.5.If, after a Product has been sold, the Product is found to be counterfeited or, upon a complaint by the Buyer, its authenticity cannot be ascertained, you agree that HULA will proceed in accordance with its Return and Refund Policy (see Clause 18 below) and you will be liable to repay to HULA in full, within 7 business days from notification by HULA that the Product's authenticity could not be ascertained, the Proceeds you received for the sale of the Product concerned.

14.1.You may terminate your User Account at any time by written notice to HULA at Sell@TheHula.com.

14.2.However, if at the time you terminate your User Account:(i)There are any Products listed on the Website by you, the provisions of Clause 8 above will apply.(ii)HULA owes you any payments for sold Products, your account will only be closed after those payments have been settled.

14.3.HULA reserves the right, at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice, and temporarily or permanently, to close the User Account of any Seller who:(i)Requests, or procures, or attempts to procure, HULA to list counterfeited Products.(ii)Repeatedly withdraws Products from the Website which are still subject to the Withdrawal Fee (see Clause 8.3 above).

15.1.The Website's shopping pages and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are intended to guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order on the Website. The order process allows you to check and amend any errors or make any changes before submitting your order to the Website. You should always take the necessary time to read and check your order at each step of the order process and in particular before placing it.

15.2.All Products are offered for sale on the Website, sold on an “as is” basis, and can be returned. All products offered for sale at a Store are sold on an “as is “basis and cannot be returned.

15.3.All Products are sold strictly on a first come first served basis. This means that a Product will appear available on the Website until a Buyer has actually placed an order for that Product and irrespective of whether another Buyer has added that Product to that Buyer's shopping basket. Please note that if you log-out from your User Account, any items will be removed from your shopping basket.

15.4.After the order is placed on the Website, you will receive an email from HULA acknowledging receipt of the order. Please note that this does not mean that the order has been accepted by HULA. HULA will confirm to you by separate emails that HULA has:

(i)Accepted your order (Order Confirmation); and
(ii)Dispatched the Product ordered by you (Shipping Confirmation).

15.5. If a Product you attempt to purchase is actually purchased at a Store before you have received an email that HULA has accepted your order, HULA will email you and refund you for that Product. If HULA is, for any other reason, unable to process the order or to ship the Product to you, HULA will inform you by email in which case the Order Confirmation is deemed cancelled.
