Seller Terms & Consignment Agreement

Last Updated: 10/17/25

Welcome to The Bridal Society — a curated destination for pre-loved luxury bridal pieces. We’re honored to help you find a second love story for your gown. Please review the following terms carefully before submitting your item for consignment.

1. Overview

By submitting your gown or bridal item for consignment with The Bridal Society (“we,” “us,” or “our”), you (“Seller”) agree to the terms outlined below. This agreement explains how the consignment process works, payment structure, and expectations for both parties.

2. Consignment Period

  • Each item is consigned for a 12-month period beginning on the date it is listed for sale on our website.

  • At the end of your consignment term, you may:

    • Renew your agreement for another 12 months,

    • Request return of your item (shipping cost to be paid by Seller), or

    • Authorize donation of your item to one of our partnered bridal charities or sample sale events.

If we do not receive a response from you within 30 days of your term’s end, the item may be considered forfeited and donated at our discretion.

3. Handling & Listing Fees

A non-refundable handling fee is collected when you send in your item. This covers professional inspection, photography, listing, and storage.

These fees ensure your item is beautifully presented and marketed to potential buyers across our platform and channels.

4. Seller Payout

When your item sells:

  • You receive 80% of the final sale price, and

  • The Bridal Society retains 20% as our commission.

This commission covers marketing, customer support, payment processing, and operational costs.

Payouts are issued within 14 business days after the buyer’s return window closes, via Stripe or Paypal (Whichever is chosen within the seller portal).

5. Pricing & Adjustments

  • We work with you to establish an initial listing price that reflects current market value and condition.

  • To encourage sales, we may offer modest markdowns or promotional discounts (up to 20%) without requiring seller approval.

  • For any discount exceeding 20%, we’ll contact you for consent prior to adjusting the price.

6. Item Eligibility & Condition

We accept bridal gowns, veils, and accessories that are:

  • New, sample, or gently worn and professionally cleaned,

  • Free from stains, major damage, or alterations that affect fit or resale value, and

  • From contemporary or luxury bridal designers.

We reserve the right to decline items that do not meet our quality standards or align with our curated selection.

7. Photography & Listing

Once your item arrives, we’ll:

  • Professionally photograph it in our studio,

  • Write a detailed, search-optimized description, and thorough measurements

  • List it on thebridalsocietyus.com and our marketing channels.

All photography, styling, and copywriting are managed by The Bridal Society to ensure consistent quality and brand presentation.

8. Returns & Buyer Policies

All buyer sales are final.
If a buyer cancels prior to shipment or an issue arises during inspection, the item may be relisted at our discretion.

9. Early Withdrawal

If you wish to have your item returned before the 12-month term ends, you may do so by:

  • Submitting a written request, and

  • Paying a $25 early withdrawal fee plus return shipping costs.

Items will be returned within 14 business days of payment.

10. Risk & Liability

While your item is in our care, we handle it with the utmost professionalism. However, The Bridal Society is not liable for loss or damage caused by unforeseen events such as fire, theft, or natural disaster.
In such cases, our liability shall not exceed the agreed-upon listing price of the item.

11. Agreement

By submitting your gown or item to The Bridal Society, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these terms.
