Consignment Agreement
A consignment agreement is a arrangement where an owner places goods with a seller who remits payment minus commission only when items sell. Use this when an artist, boutique supplier, or used goods seller places inventory in a shop. It sets consignment period, commission %, and unsold return logistics.
