Wholesale Terms & Conditions of Sale

1. Definitions and scope

"Buyer" means the business entity that applies for a wholesale account and places an Order. "Goods" means the products described in an Order. "Order" means an order for Goods submitted through the Portal, by email or by purchase order. "Portal" means the Busty Order Buddy online wholesale portal. "Terms" means these Wholesale Terms & Conditions of Sale.

These Terms apply to business-to-business sales only. The Buyer confirms it is acting in the course of its business and is not a consumer. Consumer protection legislation that applies only to consumers (including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 consumer remedies and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 cancellation rights) does not apply to Orders.

These Terms override any terms the Buyer tries to impose, including terms printed on a purchase order.

2. Account approval and eligibility

Wholesale accounts are available to registered businesses only (limited companies, LLPs, partnerships and registered sole traders). The Buyer must provide accurate company, contact and store information and keep it up to date.

Accounts are activated on submission of a complete application. The Supplier may at any time and at its discretion request further verification, decline, suspend or close an account, including for late payment, breach of these Terms or the Brand & Reseller Guidelines.

The person submitting the application confirms that they are authorised to bind the Buyer.

3. Orders and minimum order quantity

Minimum order: the minimum wholesale Order is £1,000 of products, excluding VAT and delivery. Orders may be made up of different products and shades across the Busty Boob Tape range; the minimum applies to the total Order, not to each product.

Case quantities: products are supplied in cases of 20 units per colour/shade. Quantities must be ordered in multiples of 20 for each colour/shade selected.

Availability: all Orders are subject to availability. If any item is unavailable the Supplier will tell the Buyer before taking payment or offer a refund for that item.

An Order is an offer by the Buyer. A contract is formed only when the Supplier confirms the Order in writing (including by email or Portal confirmation) after cleared payment has been received under clause 5.

4. Prices

Wholesale prices are 50% of the Supplier's recommended retail price (RRP) and are shown exclusive of VAT and delivery. Current RRPs: Boob Tape £25; Body Contour Tape £40; Invisible Nipple Covers £15 (pair). RRPs are guidance only; the Buyer remains free to set its own resale prices, subject to the Brand & Reseller Guidelines on advertised pricing.

The Supplier may introduce volume-tiered pricing and will publish any tiers in the Portal. The Supplier may change prices on 30 days' notice; the price applying to an Order is the price shown at the time the Order is placed.

5. Payment terms

First Order: 100% pro forma. Payment in full in cleared funds is required before the Order is confirmed and before production or dispatch. No credit is offered to new accounts.

Larger opening Orders: by agreement the Buyer may pay a 50% deposit to confirm the Order, with the 50% balance payable in cleared funds before dispatch.

Credit terms: after at least five successfully completed and paid Orders, the Buyer may apply for credit using the Credit Application Form. Any credit (maximum Net 14 days from invoice) and any credit limit are offered only by written agreement and may be withdrawn at any time.

Payment may be made by card through the Portal or by bank transfer. Bank-transfer Orders remain "pending payment" until funds clear.

If any sum is overdue the Supplier may charge interest and compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, suspend deliveries and suspend the Buyer's account.

6. VAT

At the date of these Terms the Supplier is not registered for VAT and no VAT is charged. If the Supplier becomes VAT registered, VAT will be added at the applicable rate to UK Orders. Supplies to Buyers outside the UK are generally zero-rated exports; the Buyer is responsible for all import VAT, customs duties and clearance charges in the destination country.

7. Delivery, lead times and shipping

Goods are dispatched from the United Kingdom. The typical lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from cleared payment to dispatch. Express delivery is available only for smaller Orders of in-stock variants. Lead times are estimates; time of delivery is not of the essence.

The Buyer pays delivery charges, which (with any VAT) are shown at checkout before payment. The Supplier ships to the UK and internationally.

The Buyer must provide a complete, correct delivery address and ensure someone is available to receive the Goods.

8. Risk and title

Risk in the Goods passes to the Buyer on delivery to the Buyer's delivery address.

Title (ownership) of the Goods remains with the Supplier until the Supplier has received payment in full for those Goods and all other sums due from the Buyer. Until then the Buyer holds the Goods as bailee, must store them separately and identifiably, and may resell them in the ordinary course of business. If payment is overdue the Supplier may recover the Goods and enter the Buyer's premises for that purpose.

9. Inspection, shortages, damage and claims

The Buyer must inspect the Goods on delivery. Any damage, defect, shortage or incorrect item must be reported within 48 hours of delivery through the Portal returns form or to bustyboobtape@gmail.com, with the order number, SKU, a description and clear photographs.

If the Buyer does not notify the Supplier within 48 hours, the Goods are deemed accepted, save for latent defects that could not reasonably have been discovered on inspection (to be notified within 48 hours of discovery).

10. Returns and refunds

The Supplier accepts returns only for damaged, defective or incorrect Goods confirmed under clause 9 and the Returns & Refunds Policy. The Buyer pays return postage unless otherwise agreed in writing. For confirmed faults the Supplier will, at its option, replace the Goods, issue a credit note or refund the price paid for the affected Goods.

Because the Goods are hygiene and skin-contact products, returns for change of mind or over-ordering are not accepted.

11. Cancellation and changes

The Buyer may request cancellation of a confirmed Order before dispatch. Because Goods are produced and allocated to order, a cancellation fee of 50% of the Order value is payable, which the Buyer agrees is a genuine pre-estimate of the Supplier's loss. The Supplier may retain this from sums paid.

The Buyer may request changes to SKUs, shades or quantities after confirmation (for example to fit its own store range). Changes are subject to the Supplier's written agreement, availability, the MOQ and any price difference.

12. No sale-or-return or consignment

All sales are firm sales. Goods are not supplied on a sale-or-return or consignment basis unless expressly agreed in writing by a director of the Supplier.

13. Brand use, pricing and marketplaces

The Buyer may use the Supplier's name, logos and product images only to promote and sell genuine Goods, in line with the Brand & Reseller Guidelines. All intellectual property remains with the Supplier.

The Supplier operates a minimum advertised price (MAP) policy: the Buyer should not advertise Goods below RRP without the Supplier's prior written consent. The Buyer remains free to set its own resale prices; this clause does not restrict actual selling prices and will be applied in compliance with UK competition law.

The Buyer must not sell Goods on third-party marketplaces (including Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop, Temu, Etsy and similar) without the Supplier's prior written consent.

No territorial or channel exclusivity is granted.

14. Product compliance

The Buyer must not alter, repackage or remove labelling (including ingredients, how-to-use, removal guidance, SGS and trade mark information and contact details) and must not make medical or misleading claims about the Goods.

15. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of the implied terms as to title (section 12 Sale of Goods Act 1979) or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that, the Supplier is not liable for any loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or any indirect or consequential loss, and its total liability arising under or in connection with an Order is limited to the price paid for that Order.

Except as set out in these Terms, all implied warranties and conditions are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

16. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control (including supplier or carrier failure, pandemic, strikes, war, extreme weather or governmental action). If such an event lasts more than 8 weeks either party may cancel the affected Order, and any sums paid for undelivered Goods will be refunded less the Supplier's reasonable committed costs.

17. General

Entire agreement: these Terms, the Order and any documents referred to in them form the entire agreement between the parties.

Variation: no variation is effective unless in writing and agreed by the Supplier.

Severability: if any provision is found invalid, the rest remain in force.

Notices: notices must be sent by email to bustyboobtape@gmail.com (for the Supplier) or to the email address on the Buyer's account, or by post to the registered office.

Assignment: the Buyer may not assign or transfer an Order without the Supplier's written consent.

Third parties: no one other than the parties has any right to enforce these Terms.

18. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
