Seller Collaboration Agreement


Findfurnish Seller Collaboration Agreement

Welcome. If you’re here, it’s because you’ve got something worth sharing—and we’re offering a trusted way to present, sell, and place it with the right buyer. This isn’t consignment. It’s not a handshake deal. It’s a practical, clear partnership: you bring the item, we bring the infrastructure, presentation, care, and proper documentation for taxes and payouts.

This Agreement outlines the relationship between Findfurnish, LLC, a registered Minnesota company ("Company" or "FF"), and the Seller ("you") regarding the stewardship, preparation, marketing, and sale of items ("Items"). The Terms of Service, which include mandatory acceptance via checkbox, are fully incorporated into this Agreement and governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. Also important is to familiarize yourself with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Shipping Policies, and Refund Policy. This together will give you a clear picture of working with us. These may or may not be referenced below but you agree that you have been provided this information and acknowledge it by moving forward from here. Clear? Cool.

Core Terms of Engagement

  • Straightforward Structure: You retain ownership of your physical items. We operate as a sales and stewardship platform.

1. Inventory Stewardship

  • "Stewardship" in this context means FF takes active, temporary responsibility for managing, preparing, and offering your Items for sale. You retain ownership, while FF handles the work of marketing, staging, and selling, but without assuming liability. FF is your agent in a selling-as-service role, not ownership or consignment.

  • You grant FF permission to intake, document, stage, and market your selected Items.

  • FF will maintain and share an inventory record.

2. Pricing, Preparation, and Restoration (details on how this is a bit different)

  • Restoration work over $100 requires written approval; if no reply is received within 48 hours, FF may proceed without it.

  • FF pays all restoration costs up front. These costs are deducted from the seller’s payout if the item sells.

Funds could be held for client approval, restoration, fulfullment, or other for other reasons full within FF discretion. 

  • Digital payment methods—such as direct deposit or other mutually agreed platforms—are used for all payouts where available. Paper checks are typically only issued if your balance exceeds $250.

4. Tax Compliance

  • FF handles all sales tax collection and remittance. You handle your taxes. If you are a registered dealer on file, then and only then will we not charge taxes. We follow the rules on this stuff...always. 

5. Digital Assets

  • FF retains exclusive ownership of all content created from or about the Items. This includes images, scans, descriptions, metadata, and promotional materials. We have exclusive training potential and rights from these images and are not to be used without our expressed written consent...especially by AI crawling bots.

  • Items may not be co-listed or reposted without written permission and agents.

6. Risk and Insurance

  • FF does not insure your items. Seller assumes all risk for storage, condition, and loss, unless otherwise agreed in writing. This Agreement is not an insurance contract. We really can't be more clear about this...your stuff, your risk. Sorry, insurance doesn't cover this industry well anymore.

  • If FF causes damage due to negligence, we may choose to repair or replace the item, at our discretion. That does not happen often.

7. Termination

  • Either party may terminate this agreement with 15 days’ notice. FF May terminate at anytime for any reason at all and maintains full rights to end a seller agreement.

  • Items over $15,000 in value may require a separate agreement and documentation for insurance purposes.

10. Data and Memory Policy

  • Personal data may be deleted upon request.

  • We are not liable for inferred identity from publicly displayed metadata.

  • We also need to be clear about something from the beginning: when you submit an item for review, any story, history, origin detail, photo, caption, or material that helps us understand and represent the item becomes part of the item’s provenance, and we own that record. That includes metadata, narrative, documentation—even things we might not fully understand the value of yet. We use this information to create lasting records, inform AI models, and build historical traceability. If you’re not comfortable with that, this may not be the right platform for you. We retain ownership of all data forever. Period. Not even a little wiggle room on this one. ALL ASSETS

Next Steps Please submit your intake form to initiate onboarding. An email confirmation will follow once your inventory has been finalized, priced, and its item-level insurance value established.

This Agreement is available for use with any item the Seller chooses to offer—physically, digitally, conceptually, or even items that remain in your possession—for potential inclusion in Findfurnish’s sales, inventory, or documentation systems. It does not presume or require inclusion of all items, nor does it affect property you choose not to share. You retain full control over what you offer, including items that never physically enter our possession. We retain full discretion to accept or decline participation.

We’re honored to work with those who value clarity, real partnership, and the shared mission of placing good items in good hands.
