Pink cat club amix membership form 2016

Market Trading Terms & Conditions and Trader Membership Form 2016 Carefully read through this essential paperwork. You can scan and e-mail the completed form (the final page) and supporting (insurance) information to marketsmanager@artsmix.co.uk or post to the Park Lane Centre address below.

We pride ourselves in quality control and our lease states we are to provide a ‘professional quality offer’ selling original hand crafted arts, crafts, home wares, clothing and produce at our markets. The first stage of being able trade involves completing the form below and sending it with evidence of your insurance (and, if a new trader, images of your work) through to us. Please note, unless you request otherwise, we may use these images for promotional purposes on our website, Facebook etc. We then confirm that it is ok for you to book on the markets and on the day of your first market will check the products you are selling are in-line with images supplied and as stated on this form, confirming that your goods are indeed original, hand-crafted/designed and are of the appropriate quality. In some cases we may ask to meet with you first to see some samples of your work.

Criteria To meet the trading approval criteria all traders need to fulfill the following:  You have designed and created the product/produce yourselves or, you can prove you have designed the product yourselves.  You are selling products on behalf of the original designer and have provided their clear written authorization to sell their original products to Artsmix Directors. Bought stock cannot be traded on at our market.  The products/produce meet any health & safety standards that Artsmix asks to be complied with.  What is being offered for sale is not likely to cause offense and does not promote or support any political cause.  You have provided evidence of an in-date certificate of insurance.

Many of our traders use www.a-n.co.uk and have the ‘artist & air membership’ which is adequate and currently under £40 for the year; we would however recommend you shop around for the insurance that is right for you. Food traders will need to have different adequate insurance and must forward food hygiene certificates.

7. Traders must clearly label and price all products.

8. All products must meet Artsmix Leeds Ltd.’s quality standards and be a true representation of examples submitted to us for approval. Please inform us of any variations or new products prior to markets and take care not to in anyway replicate work being produced by other traders. We reserve the right to ask traders to remove any products not in keeping with the images sent to us, not of a high standard or products likely to cause offence.

Please note ‘bought stock’ cannot be traded, unless it obviously compliments and is sold only with produced items, i.e. bought-in frames are fine for pictures, oil burners may be sold with self-produced scented oils, but could not be sold on their own. If in doubt, please check first.

9. Traders must ensure a clean, tidy and well-presented stall is maintained at all times and must remove all litter/mess from their trading area before leaving.

10. Smoking and the use of unsociable language are strictly prohibited whilst on your stall or in the immediate vicinity of the market.

11. All electrical equipment used at events must comply with current legislation and have a valid Portable Appliance Test (PAT) Certificate. All equipment will be checked, and Artsmix Leeds Ltd. Reserves the right to confiscate any equipment (for the duration of the market) that is found to be or appears to be, defective, unsafe or disruptive.

13. Traders are expected to treat each other and the market supervisor with respect at all times. Any disputes are to be strictly directed to the market supervisor.

14. Artsmix Leeds Ltd reserve the right to refuse traders or their goods at any point if it is considered they are not being compliant with any of the above. In the unlikely event of this happening you have the right to ask for a director’s e-mail address, though for operational reasons it is unlikely any such dispute will be able to be resolved on the day of the actual market. All serious disputes will be investigated thoroughly and taken to a board meeting where the decision of the board will be final.
