Membership

MEMBERSHIP and Rights of Access

Logins are private and confidential between the DC Ltd (incorporating the Decorative Collective and the Hoarde Vintage websites) and the Seller. The only person/s who have a right to access any Sellers login, for any purpose (including to extract, add / delete data or stock) to DC Ltd websites is the Seller and those employed by their company directly, excluding those who work for 3rd party companies and 'Agents' such as other Marketplaces or service providers. No right of access is granted or given without express permission by the DC Ltd to any other outside Party / Third Party that a Seller may be associated with. The Seller cannot provide permission themselves to any Third Party company, Agent or service provider as they are not granted this right. This is to safeguard the DC Ltd own websites, it’s data and the data of all Sellers and Clients who use the sites. To do so will break the terms of Membership. In the event such permission is granted, it will be between the Seller and the DC Ltd only and the DC Ltd will bear no responsibility or liability for any data added, taken from or amended on it's sites by any Third Party, Agent, service company or person within your organisation. Any permission as above that may be granted, excludes any right to share or provide access to any Client data as this would have to be expressly sought from any Clients themselves by the Seller as required by GDPR laws.

APPLY TO JOIN THE DC

Please click here if you would like to apply. Members must be full time and professional Sellers, and carry sufficient stock to be able to regularly contribute to the site. Items must be of good quality, correctly dated, in good saleable condition and as described. Good, clear photographs are very important and we run a strict policy on such.

DISCIPLINES

We accept Sellers from all disciplines, inlcuding some architectural and reclaim, but not things like bricks or other building materials. We do not allow offensive or banned items. We accept Sellers of antique, vintage and contemporary disciplines, including, but not limited to, furniture, lighting, mirrors, garden, textiles, art, curios and jewellery and would be pleased to hear from those creating non mass-produced 21st Century items, Artisans and Bespoke makers. We do not accept reproduction items on this site.

PHOTOGRAPHY

All Sellers are required to be proficient in taking photographs, especially as we have a zoom function on the site. We run a strict policy on reserving the right to remove or adjust any pictures that we deem unacceptable.

CLIENT HANDLING

All Sellers are expected to be helpful and professional in their handling and attitude towards all Clients. We have a lot of overseas clients and time differences arise which members must be mindful of and appreciate that they may sometimes have to reply to clients in the evenings or weekends in order to secure a sale.

TECHNOLOGY

All Sellers are expected to be able to operate a laptop or desktop computer as they are responsible for managing their own content on the site themselves. iPads can also be used, but latest software and browser versions are important as the DC is a modern, 21st Century site that requires an up-to-date browser.

COMMITMENT

Running your own website or being part of a site such as the DC, works best for those that are prepared and able to contribute on a regular basis.  Please bear this in mind before applying.

Please note that whilst there is no Contract required Sellers commit to providing 1 full months paid notice should they wish to leave. Further details of Membership will be provided once you have contacted the DC.
