Where you can sell.

Lime Tree Design supplies the vendor on the understanding our products will be sold in the vendor's bricks and mortar shop and the vendor's own website.  The vendor is not allowed to sell Lime Tree Design Products on 3rd party websites including but not exclusively Amazon, Ebay, Notonthehighstreet.com, Etsy, Folksy etc. Informal methods of selling e.g. party plan and fairs should be discussed with Lime Tree Design. If the vendor has more than one branch and will be selling in multiple outlets that must be disclosed at the time of opening an account.  Subsequent branches may not be able to sell our product in them if we have existing customers in the area. 

We try and ensure we do not have customers selling the same Lime Tree Design products in the same postcode however we do not offer automatic exclusivity within a postcode .  To be considered for exclusivity within a postcode, customers must order at least twice a year, across the collection and spend £1000+ annually.  If there has been a 6 month period with no orders then we will re-consider exclusivity.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

The construction of the contract shall be governed by English law, and the buyer consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in all matters regarding the contract. The headings of these conditions are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect their interpretation.
