summerbug Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 HELP!!! Does anyone have a release of liability form they use or some type of contract for use with wholesalers? I have a shop interested in selling my candles and figured I needed some type of contract or release form? For those of you who do wholesale to shops what do you use and do you have a sample I could look at?Thanks for any help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 A release of liability with not stop someone from actions against you. Get liability insurance and make sure it covers wholesale accounts! Fire:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Yup. Not saying that you can't have a contract, but it will not release you from liability. You, as the manufacturer of the product, are always responsible for its quality, no matter who sells it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerbug Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I just thought I should have some type of contract that states if the wholesaler makes any changes to the product - like adds decoration or something that - he then assumes responsibility for the change? I hope I am making sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I don't use a contract. Once my customers have paid for their product, it is theirs, they own it, and they can do with it as they like. Short of not selling to them anymore, I don't think there's much else you can do to stop them. I'm not sure how binding a contract would be since...well, they own the product. Think about it. You purchase product for resale. Maybe in the form of supplies, maybe decorative accessories. Do any of those vendors ask for a signed contract saying you won't repackage their tart warmers? JMO....Maybe someone has had experience with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
