Consignment Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 3 August 2026

These Consignment Terms and Conditions apply whenever goods are provided to
SLABD PTY LTD for display, marketing, auction or sale.

These terms apply whether the consignment is arranged through the SLABD website,
in-store, by email, over the telephone, through an intake form or by any other
agreed method.

1. Definitions

2. Appointment of SLABD

You appoint SLABD as your agent to receive, store, display, photograph, describe,
market, advertise and sell the Goods in accordance with these terms and the
applicable Intake Schedule.

Unless the Intake Schedule states otherwise, SLABD’s appointment is exclusive
while the Goods are:

• in SLABD’s possession;
• listed or advertised for sale by SLABD;
• held by an auction house, platform or service provider on SLABD’s behalf; or
• subject to an accepted offer, auction or binding sale commitment.

You must not separately sell, transfer, advertise or offer the same Goods during
the exclusive consignment period.

SLABD does not purchase or acquire ownership of the Goods merely by accepting
them for consignment. Ownership remains with you until a sale is completed,
subject to these terms and the rights of the buyer.

3. Your ownership and authority

You represent and warrant that:

1. you are the legal and beneficial owner of the Goods, or you have the owner’s
   clear authority to consign and sell them;
2. you have the legal right to sell the Goods;
3. the Goods are not stolen, unlawfully obtained, counterfeit or subject to
   another person’s ownership claim;
4. the Goods are not subject to a security interest, loan, lien, finance
   arrangement, trust or other restriction that prevents their sale;
5. where the Goods are jointly owned, every owner has authorised the consignment
   and sale;
6. all descriptions, certificates, serial numbers, grading details, provenance,
   authentication information and other information supplied by you are accurate
   and complete;
7. you have disclosed any known alteration, restoration, trimming, recolouring,
   resealing, tampering, reproduction, counterfeit concern or authenticity issue;
8. the Goods may lawfully be possessed, marketed and sold in Australia and through
   any approved third-party platform; and
9. the Goods do not contain any unlawful, dangerous, prohibited or undisclosed
   material.

You must immediately notify SLABD if another person makes or threatens to make
a claim concerning the ownership, authenticity or legality of the Goods.

4. SLABD’s right to refuse or suspend a consignment

SLABD may refuse to accept, suspend, withdraw or decline to sell Goods where
SLABD reasonably believes that:

• ownership or authority has not been established;
• the Goods may be stolen, counterfeit, altered or unlawfully obtained;
• the Goods have been materially misdescribed;
• selling the Goods could breach a law or platform requirement;
• the Goods present a safety, reputational or fraud risk;
• the requested price or sale terms are impractical;
• the Goods are unsuitable for SLABD’s available sale channels; or
• you have breached these terms.

Where reasonably necessary, SLABD may provide information or Goods to law
enforcement, a court, a regulator, a grading company, an authentication provider,
an auction house or a selling platform.

5. Delivery to SLABD

You are responsible for getting the Goods to SLABD safely.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, SLABD is not responsible for loss, theft or
damage occurring before the Goods have been physically received and accepted by
SLABD.

Where you send Goods to SLABD by post, courier or another carrier, you are
responsible for:

• selecting the carrier and service;
• adequately packaging the Goods;
• accurately addressing the shipment;
• keeping tracking and lodgement records;
• declaring the contents and value where required; and
• arranging any transit insurance you require.

A carrier label provided or arranged by SLABD does not mean that the Goods are
insured unless insurance is expressly confirmed in writing.

6. Intake records and item identification

SLABD may photograph, scan, count, weigh, catalogue, label and otherwise document
the Goods when they are received.

The Intake Schedule may record:

• the item description;
• quantity;
• certificate or serial number;
• visible condition;
• asking price;
• minimum acceptable price;
• declared or estimated value;
• authorised sale channels;
• consignment fees;
• special instructions; and
• any existing packaging or holder damage.

You must review the Intake Schedule and promptly notify SLABD of any incorrect
quantity, certificate number, description, pricing instruction or other material
discrepancy.

Unless you notify SLABD of an error within seven days after receiving the Intake
Schedule, SLABD may rely on it as an accurate record of the Goods received, except
where there is an obvious error.

7. Condition and inspection

Any condition description recorded by SLABD is a general description of the
Goods’ apparent condition. It is not a professional condition report, appraisal,
grading opinion or guarantee.

Unless SLABD expressly agrees otherwise in writing:

• SLABD is not required to professionally grade or authenticate the Goods;
• SLABD is not required to inspect the contents of sealed products;
• SLABD does not guarantee that a sealed product has not been resealed, altered,
  repackaged or tampered with;
• SLABD does not guarantee that a product is free from manufacturing defects,
  hidden defects or internal damage;
• SLABD does not guarantee the integrity of a slab, holder, seal, case, wrapper,
  box or other packaging;
• SLABD is not responsible for defects that were not reasonably visible during
  ordinary handling; and
• SLABD will not open sealed products or remove an item from a holder without
  authority, except where reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance or
  fraud prevention.

Photographs may not show every scratch, mark, dent, crease, print defect, wrapper
defect, reflection or other condition issue.

8. Pricing instructions

The Intake Schedule should identify, where applicable:

• the initial asking price;
• the minimum acceptable Sale Price;
• the minimum Net Proceeds required by you;
• whether offers may be accepted;
• whether automatic price reductions are authorised;
• whether the Goods may be sent to auction;
• the auction reserve, if any; and
• any agreed price review date.

You must make it clear whether any minimum amount refers to the gross Sale Price
or the Net Proceeds payable to you after deductions.

Unless otherwise stated in the Intake Schedule, SLABD may accept a genuine offer
at or above the agreed minimum Sale Price without obtaining further approval.

A requested price change does not take effect until SLABD confirms that the request
has been processed.

A price change cannot be applied to:

• a completed sale;
• an offer that has already been accepted;
• a live auction that has received a binding bid;
• a transaction awaiting payment; or
• another binding sale commitment.

9. Market changes and price monitoring

You acknowledge that the market value of trading cards, sealed products,
memorabilia and other collectibles can change rapidly.

SLABD:

• does not guarantee that the Goods will sell;
• does not guarantee a sale timeframe;
• does not guarantee a Sale Price or financial return;
• does not provide investment, financial, taxation or legal advice;
• is not responsible for continually monitoring the market value of the Goods;
• is not required to identify or monitor recent comparable sales;
• is not required to recommend price increases or reductions;
• is not responsible for choosing the most profitable time to sell;
• is not responsible if the Goods could have achieved a higher price at another
  time or through another seller;
• is not liable merely because the Goods increase or decrease in value before,
  during or after the consignment; and
• is not responsible for market changes occurring after an offer is accepted
  or a sale becomes binding.

Any estimate, opinion, suggested price or market information supplied by SLABD is
indicative only and is based on information reasonably available at that time.

It is not a formal valuation, appraisal, guarantee or representation that the
Goods will sell for that amount.

You remain responsible for monitoring market conditions and providing updated
written pricing instructions.

10. Sale channels

Depending on your instructions and the type of Goods, you may authorise SLABD to
market or sell the Goods through:

• SLABD’s retail store;
• SLABD’s website;
• social media;
• eBay;
• MySlabs;
• Goldin or another auction house;
• trade shows, conventions or events;
• private sale;
• direct offers;
• approved dealer networks; or
• another platform approved by you.

Third-party platforms and auction houses may impose their own selling, buyer
protection, return, dispute, payment and withdrawal terms.

By authorising a third-party sale channel, you also authorise SLABD to act in
accordance with the reasonable requirements of that platform or auction house.

SLABD may provide photographs, descriptions, certificate numbers, provenance and
other necessary information to prospective buyers and authorised sale platforms.

SLABD may remove, revise or transfer a listing where reasonably necessary because
of:

• a platform requirement;
• a listing or pricing error;
• a suspected fraudulent transaction;
• an authenticity or ownership concern;
• a legal requirement;
• a buyer dispute;
• a safety concern; or
• a material breach of these terms.

11. Consignment commission

Unless a different rate is stated in the Intake Schedule or another written
agreement accepted by you, SLABD’s standard consignment commission is:

• 10% where the Sale Price is less than A$50,000; and
• 5% where the Sale Price is A$50,000 or more.

The minimum SLABD consignment commission is A$3.50 per sold item,
unless otherwise agreed.

Where Goods are sold through a third-party platform or auction house, SLABD’s
consignment commission will be calculated after applicable third-party selling
fees have been deducted from the Sale Price, unless otherwise stated in the
Intake Schedule.

Fee calculations displayed before sale are estimates only. Final fees and Net
Proceeds will be determined after the sale is completed and all applicable fees,
refunds, currency conversions and charges are known.

12. Other fees and authorised deductions

In addition to SLABD’s consignment commission, the following amounts may be
deducted from the Sale Price where applicable:

• third-party platform fees;
• auction-house seller fees;
• payment-processing fees;
• currency-conversion fees;
• international payment fees;
• listing or promotional fees accepted by you;
• photography or preparation fees accepted by you;
• grading, authentication or certification fees authorised by you;
• cleaning or preparation charges authorised by you;
• postage, freight, customs, duties and handling charges;
• insurance purchased at your request;
• buyer refunds or partial refunds;
• chargebacks or payment reversals;
• return postage;
• storage or collection fees properly payable under these terms;
• early-withdrawal or cancellation fees;
• GST payable on SLABD’s services; and
• another fee or expense specifically agreed with you.

Payment-processing fees may vary depending on the payment method selected by the
buyer.

Listing fees and third-party fees already incurred or committed are
non-refundable unless SLABD receives a corresponding refund from the third party.

SLABD will not introduce a new material fee for an existing consignment without
giving you notice and obtaining your agreement, except where the fee is imposed
by a third party or required by law.

13. Offers and formation of a sale

A listing, advertised price or display of Goods is not necessarily a binding
offer by SLABD or the Consignor to sell.

A sale becomes binding when an offer or purchase has been validly accepted in
accordance with:

• your pricing instructions;
• these terms;
• the applicable selling platform’s rules; or
• the auction house’s rules.

Once a sale is binding, you cannot withdraw the Goods merely because:

• the market price has increased;
• you have received another offer;
• you have changed your mind;
• you believe the Goods may sell for more elsewhere; or
• you no longer wish to pay the applicable fees.

SLABD may cancel a transaction where reasonably necessary because of a pricing
error, listing error, payment failure, suspected fraud, legal requirement,
ownership concern, authenticity concern or another legitimate reason.

14. Buyer returns, disputes and chargebacks

You authorise SLABD to reasonably manage buyer complaints, returns, partial
refunds, refunds, payment disputes and chargebacks where required by:

• Australian law;
• the applicable platform or auction-house rules;
• the payment provider’s rules;
• the agreed sale terms; or
• a reasonable commercial resolution approved by SLABD.

SLABD may delay payment of Net Proceeds while:

• buyer funds remain uncleared;
• a buyer return period remains open;
• an authenticity issue is being investigated;
• a fraud or ownership concern is being investigated;
• a chargeback or payment dispute remains unresolved;
• the Goods are being returned; or
• another genuine dispute remains unresolved.

If SLABD has already paid you and the buyer’s payment is later validly refunded,
reversed or charged back, you must repay the corresponding amount to SLABD.

SLABD may offset that amount against other Net Proceeds payable to you, provided
the amount is not genuinely disputed.

SLABD will take reasonable steps to respond to improper claims but does not
guarantee the outcome of a decision made by:

• a bank;
• a card provider;
• a payment processor;
• a carrier;
• a platform;
• an auction house;
• a grading company;
• an authentication provider; or
• another independent third party.

15. Payment of Net Proceeds

Subject to any applicable buyer dispute, return period, payment hold, chargeback,
compliance review or third-party settlement requirement, SLABD will normally pay
the Net Proceeds within 15 business days after:

1. SLABD has received cleared payment from the buyer; and
2. any applicable return, dispute, auction-house or platform settlement period
   has expired.

Payment timeframes are estimates and may be extended where funds are delayed,
restricted, disputed, reversed or held by a third-party provider.

Payments will be made using the payment method recorded by SLABD.

You are responsible for providing complete and accurate payment information.
SLABD may require identity verification before:

• releasing funds;
• changing bank details;
• changing the nominated recipient; or
• processing a high-value payment.

SLABD is not responsible for payment sent to incorrect details supplied or
confirmed by you, unless the loss resulted from SLABD failing to follow its
reasonable payment-verification procedures.

16. Insurance

Consigned Goods are not insured by SLABD unless a separate written document
issued or accepted by SLABD expressly confirms that insurance has been arranged
for identified Goods.

The recording of an asking price, minimum price, estimated value, declared value or reserve:

• does not mean the Goods are insured;
• does not create an insurance policy;
• is not an agreed insurance value;
• is not a professional valuation; and
• does not guarantee compensation for that amount.

You are responsible for arranging and maintaining any insurance you consider
necessary, including cover while the Goods are:

• being transported to SLABD;
• held at SLABD’s premises;
• displayed in SLABD’s store;
• transported between SLABD locations;
• held at a trade show or event;
• held by a carrier;
• held by an auction house or selling platform;
• held by a grading or authentication company;
• being returned to you; or
• being delivered to a buyer.

You should confirm directly with your insurer that its policy covers goods held
on consignment and goods held by third parties.

SLABD’s lack of insurance does not exclude any liability that cannot lawfully be
excluded.

17. Care and storage of the Goods

SLABD will take reasonable care when receiving, documenting, storing, displaying,
handling and dispatching the Goods.

SLABD may store the Goods at any secure SLABD business or storage location and
may move the Goods between those locations where reasonably necessary.

The Goods may be handled by SLABD staff, contractors, photographers, carriers,
platforms, auction houses, graders, authenticators and other authorised service
providers.

Unless otherwise agreed, SLABD is not required to provide climate-controlled,
fireproof, waterproof or individually isolated storage.

You must disclose any special storage, handling, temperature, security or
transport requirements before SLABD accepts the Goods.

18. Loss, damage and events outside SLABD’s control

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SLABD is not liable for loss or damage
caused by:

• ordinary wear arising from reasonable display or handling;
• an inherent, pre-existing or concealed defect;
• natural deterioration, fading, warping, oxidation or ageing;
• humidity, temperature or environmental sensitivity not disclosed to SLABD;
• inadequate packaging supplied by you;
• the failure, cracking, scratching or deterioration of a slab, holder, case,
  seal, wrapper, box or other packaging not caused by SLABD’s failure to exercise
  reasonable care;
• a manufacturing defect;
• a counterfeit, alteration or reseal that was not reasonably detectable;
• an act or omission of a carrier, platform, auction house, buyer, grader,
  authenticator, payment provider or other independent third party, except to
  the extent SLABD failed to exercise reasonable care in selecting or instructing
  that party;
• fire, flood, storm, natural disaster or utility failure;
• burglary, robbery, malicious damage or civil disturbance;
• government, customs, police or regulatory action;
• industrial action;
• internet, software, platform or payment-system failure; or
• another event outside SLABD’s reasonable control where SLABD had taken
  reasonable precautions.

Nothing in this clause excludes liability arising from SLABD’s fraud, wilful
misconduct or a liability that cannot legally be excluded.

19. Return delivery and third-party transport

Unless otherwise agreed, you are responsible for the cost of returning unsold,
withdrawn or rejected Goods.

You are responsible for selecting the return delivery method and any requested
insurance level.

Where you do not select a delivery method, SLABD may use a reasonable tracked
service appropriate to the information and value supplied by you.

Once the Goods have been handed to the selected carrier, SLABD is not responsible
for the carrier’s acts or omissions, except to the extent SLABD:

• failed to package the Goods with reasonable care;
• used an incorrect address despite being given the correct address;
• failed to follow an agreed delivery instruction; or
• is otherwise legally responsible.

You must promptly notify SLABD if your address or contact information changes.

20. Minimum consignment period

Unless the Intake Schedule states otherwise, the minimum consignment period is
90 days from the date the Goods are first listed or offered for
sale.

The minimum consignment period allows SLABD to photograph, catalogue, advertise,
display, promote and obtain buyer interest in the Goods.

21. Cancellation and early withdrawal

You may request withdrawal of unsold Goods through SLABD’s cancellation process.

Goods cannot be withdrawn after:

• a binding offer has been accepted;
• the Goods have sold;
• a live auction has received a binding bid;
• the Goods have been transferred under non-cancellable third-party terms;
• a buyer has made payment or become legally required to make payment; or
• SLABD has otherwise entered into a binding sale commitment.

If you withdraw Goods during the 90-day minimum consignment period, the
early-withdrawal fee will be:

• 
  50% of the SLABD commission that would have applied to the current agreed
  asking price;
  
• subject to any different fee stated in the Intake Schedule; and
• plus non-refundable third-party fees and costs already incurred or committed.

The early-withdrawal fee is intended to reasonably compensate SLABD for work,
administration, storage, photography, listing, promotion and lost selling
opportunity. It is not intended to operate as a penalty and will not exceed
SLABD’s reasonable loss and costs arising from the early withdrawal.

After the minimum consignment period, you may withdraw unsold Goods without an
early-withdrawal fee. You remain responsible for:

• third-party fees already incurred or committed;
• return delivery charges;
• outstanding authorised expenses; and
• storage fees properly payable under these terms.

22. Unsold Goods

If the Goods remain unsold after the minimum consignment period, SLABD may ask you
to:

• approve a revised asking price;
• approve a reduced minimum price;
• continue the consignment;
• transfer the Goods to another approved sale channel;
• submit the Goods to auction;
• collect the Goods; or
• arrange return delivery.

SLABD is not required to continue listing, displaying or storing unsold Goods
indefinitely.

23. Uncollected Goods

You must keep your email address, telephone number, residential address and
delivery address current.

If SLABD notifies you that Goods are ready for collection or return, you must
collect them or arrange delivery within 30 days.

If the Goods are not collected within 30 days after written notice, SLABD may
charge a reasonable storage and administration fee after giving you notice.

Goods do not automatically become SLABD’s property merely because they remain
uncollected.

Where Goods remain uncollected, SLABD may deal with them in accordance with:

• the Unclaimed Goods Act 1987 (SA);
• another applicable law; or
• a separate written disposal arrangement agreed with you.

Where permitted by law, reasonable storage, administration, sale and disposal
costs may be deducted from any sale proceeds.

24. Your indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you indemnify SLABD against reasonable loss,
liability, claims, costs and expenses arising directly from:

• your breach of these terms;
• a breach of your ownership or authority warranties;
• false, incomplete or misleading information supplied by you;
• the Goods being stolen, counterfeit or unlawfully obtained;
• the Goods being subject to another person’s ownership or security interest;
• your failure to disclose a known defect, alteration or authenticity concern;
• your infringement of another person’s intellectual property rights;
• your failure to comply with taxation or GST obligations;
• the unlawful or unauthorised nature of the consignment; or
• a third-party claim arising from your wrongful conduct.

This indemnity does not apply to the extent that the loss was caused or
contributed to by SLABD’s negligence, fraud, wilful misconduct or breach of law.

25. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies a right, consumer
guarantee, remedy or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or
modified, including applicable rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Subject to those rights and to the maximum extent permitted by law, SLABD is not
liable for:

• market depreciation;
• an increase or decrease in the value of the Goods;
• loss of profit;
• loss of a future sale;
• loss of an opportunity to sell at a different time or price;
• loss resulting from a later comparable sale;
• loss of anticipated investment return;
• sentimental or personal value;
• emotional distress;
• taxation consequences;
• reputational loss;
• indirect loss;
• special loss; or
• consequential loss.

To the extent SLABD’s liability for physical loss of or damage to Goods can
lawfully be limited, SLABD’s liability will be limited to the reasonable market
value of the affected Goods immediately before the loss or damage occurred,
having regard to:

• the Goods’ documented condition;
• the relevant grade or authentication status;
• reasonable and verifiable comparable sales;
• any declared value recorded in the Intake Schedule; and
• any amount already recovered from a carrier or third party.

An asking price, listed price, reserve or estimated value does not by itself
establish the Goods’ market value.

This limitation does not apply to SLABD’s fraud or wilful misconduct, or where
the law prohibits SLABD from limiting its liability.

26. Australian Consumer Law

SLABD will provide its consignment services with the level of care and skill
required by applicable law.

Where the Australian Consumer Law or another law provides you with a right or
remedy that cannot be excluded, these terms operate subject to that right or
remedy.

No provision in these terms is intended to exclude a non-excludable consumer
guarantee.

27. Taxation and GST

You remain responsible for determining and meeting your taxation obligations
arising from the sale of the Goods, including any:

• income tax;
• capital gains tax;
• GST;
• business reporting obligation; or
• other tax or government charge.

You must tell SLABD whether:

• you are selling as a private individual or as part of a business or enterprise;
• you have an Australian Business Number;
• you are registered or required to be registered for GST; and
• a tax invoice or other documentation is required.

SLABD may collect, report, withhold or remit an amount where required by law.

You should obtain your own taxation advice. SLABD does not provide taxation advice.

28. Identification and compliance information

SLABD may require information or documentation to verify:

• your identity;
• your residential address;
• your authority to sell the Goods;
• the source or provenance of the Goods;
• your payment details;
• your GST or business status; and
• compliance with applicable laws and platform requirements.

SLABD may refuse to accept Goods, delay payment or suspend a transaction until
reasonably requested information has been provided.

29. Personal information

SLABD may collect and retain identification, contact details, payment information,
item details, photographs and transaction records for:

• verifying your identity and authority;
• administering the consignment;
• marketing and selling the Goods;
• processing payment;
• preventing fraud;
• complying with platform requirements;
• complying with taxation, police, court or regulatory requirements;
• maintaining business and transaction records; and
• resolving ownership, authenticity or transaction disputes.

SLABD will handle personal information in accordance with its privacy policy and
applicable privacy laws.

30. Communications and notices

SLABD may communicate with you using the email address, telephone number, account
message system or postal address you have provided.

You are responsible for monitoring your email account, including your spam or
junk folder.

A notice sent electronically will be treated as received when it is delivered to
the nominated account, unless SLABD receives a delivery failure notification.

You must promptly notify SLABD if your contact or payment information changes.

31. Changes to these terms

The version of these terms accepted when SLABD takes custody of the Goods will
apply to that consignment.

SLABD may update these terms for future consignments.

A material change affecting an existing consignment will not apply retrospectively
unless:

• you agree to the change;
• the change is required by law; or
• the change is imposed by an authorised third-party platform and you have
  authorised the use of that platform.

32. Dispute resolution

If a dispute arises, each party must first attempt to resolve it in good faith by
providing the other party with:

• a written description of the issue;
• relevant supporting information; and
• the outcome requested.

The parties should allow a reasonable period for the issue to be investigated
before commencing formal proceedings.

Where appropriate, the parties may agree to mediation.

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent orders or
exercising a right through Consumer and Business Services, a tribunal or a court.

33. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Australia, Australia.

Subject to any applicable consumer right, the parties submit to the jurisdiction
of the courts and tribunals of South Australia.

34. General provisions

The Intake Schedule, these terms and any written special conditions form the
agreement applying to the consignment.

If there is an inconsistency, the following order of priority will apply:

1. any written special conditions accepted by both parties;
2. the Intake Schedule; and
3. these Consignment Terms and Conditions.

If a provision of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, it will be read down
to the minimum extent necessary. If it cannot be read down, it will be severed
without affecting the remaining provisions.

A failure or delay by SLABD in enforcing a right does not waive that right.

Electronic acceptance and electronic signatures may be used.
