Terms, Without the Guesswork.
Here’s how buying, selling and WildUP work at Articles In Common. These are plain-language summaries. The Terms of Service, Returns & Refunds Policy, Privacy Policy and any signed seller agreement contain the applicable full terms. Existing signed agreements remain in force.
How It Works.
Checkout & Orders
Shopify processes purchases securely. Stock, availability and product details are shown at purchase. One-of-one items may sell out without restocking.
Condition & Listings
Pre-owned items are described and photographed as accurately as practical. Review condition, measurements, wear and listed accessories before purchasing.
Returns & Refunds
Eligible merchandise is governed by our Returns & Refunds Policy, currently including a 14-day return window and disclosed return fees. Purchase-time terms apply.
Sale Items
Only merchandise explicitly marked Sale or Final Sale at purchase is final sale for change-of-mind purposes, subject to applicable consumer protections.
Shipping & Delivery
Customer-order shipping, transit and tracking are governed by our Shipping Policy. Large items may require a separate quote.
Gift Cards & Digital Products
Electronic gift cards and memberships are delivered or activated under the terms shown at purchase. Physical-merchandise return rules may not apply in the same way.
You List. You Ship.
Self-Service sellers manage their own listings, product details and shipping while AIC provides marketplace checkout, subject to availability of the seller portal.
Seller Fees
The current Self-Service proposal has 0% AIC seller commission. Any buyer marketplace fee or other charge must be disclosed before that mode is opened to sellers.
Accurate Listings
Sellers must have the right to resell an item and disclose condition, defects, missing parts, restrictions and accurate photographs.
Fulfillment & Returns
Self-Service sellers are responsible for tracked shipping and prompt cooperation on delivery problems, buyer returns and disputes under the applicable seller terms.
Account-Level Selling Mode
AIC offers Self-Service and Full-Service as distinct account-level selling arrangements. Switching modes requires AIC confirmation; simultaneous modes are not assumed.
Eligibility & Safety
Counterfeits, unsafe or prohibited items, and resale-restricted samples or pro-deal items are not accepted. AIC may remove ineligible listings.
Item Acceptance
AIC reviews the gear, its condition and likely resale economics before accepting it. Submission does not guarantee listing or sale.
Rates & Payouts
The seller’s signed agreement and itemized schedule specify their payout share and any approved costs. Eligible settled sales are generally paid on the 15th of the following month. Existing contracts remain unchanged.
What AIC Handles
For accepted goods AIC coordinates intake, product research, photography, listing, merchandising, selling and customer support according to the signed service terms.
Pricing & Markdowns
Initial pricing, discount authority and review timing are established in the agreement or gear-drop schedule. Any agreed markdown process must be explained before intake.
Unsold & Reclaimed Gear
Unsold goods are reviewed after the agreed listing period, typically 90 days. Return shipping, extensions and any donation choice are addressed in the signed agreement.
Ownership, Damage & Loss
Ownership and AIC’s custody, transit, damage, insurance and dispute responsibilities are governed by the signed agreement. High-value gear should not be shipped until these terms are understood.
One Membership
WildUP is $96 for one year and does not automatically renew. Full-service resale applies only to gear AIC accepts for consignment.
65% Seller Share
The proposed new WildUP member payout is 65% for eligible accepted gear, documented in the signed gear-drop schedule. No extra premium payout tier is offered. Existing signed rates are honored.
Your Resale Team
AIC handles photography, product research, listings, selling and promotion for accepted gear. Members may receive a shareable curated gear collection.
AIC Initiates the Handoff
After a paid WildUP purchase, AIC will contact the member within two business days to review the gear and coordinate the first approved drop. AIC initiates contact; no additional signup form is required.
Separate Shipping Payment
Members approve a carrier quote and pay the actual inbound postage before AIC issues a label or QR code. No markup and no shipping deduction from seller proceeds; oversize or pickup is quoted separately.
Membership Refunds & Signed Terms
If AIC cannot approve any proposed gear for a new member's first WildUP drop, AIC will refund the annual membership fee before that first gear drop. Other membership cancellations, refunds and equipment terms are governed by the purchase-time disclosures, applicable seller agreement and law. Existing signed agreements and statutory rights remain applicable.
Shopping-Order Shipping
For purchases delivered to customers, see the current Shipping Policy for handling, carrier, tracking and delivery terms.
Gear Sent to AIC
Full-Service/WildUP send-ins are reviewed first. AIC arranges a carrier quote, shared with the seller before payment and label issuance.
Actual Cost, No Markup
The member covers the quoted inbound carrier cost through a separate payment before shipping. Postage is not deducted from later consignment earnings.
Oversized, Multiple Boxes & Pickup
Large technical equipment, multiple parcels and local pickup require individual approval and cost estimates rather than being included automatically.
Your Own Tracked Label
Sellers may arrange a tracked inbound shipment with AIC’s approval and packing instructions. Delivery tracking must be provided for intake.
Returns, Adjustments & Reclaims
Carrier reweighing or dimensional adjustments and return-shipping responsibility must be disclosed in the shipment and seller terms; no unapproved surprise sale-payout deductions.
Full Store Terms
Read the Terms of Service. Its applicable provisions and separate written seller terms govern different transactions.
Privacy & Your Information
Our Privacy Policy explains data processing, advertising and consumer privacy rights. Consult the live policy rather than relying on older summaries.
Seller Agreements
A signed ordinary consignment agreement or WildUP Seller Agreement and Gear Drop Schedule establish item-level terms, payouts and risk allocation. A website summary does not replace a signed contract.
Consumer Returns
Our Returns & Refunds Policy governs customer returns. Nothing here removes rights available under applicable law.
Wildlife Contributions
AIC supports front-line wildlife protection as described in its published impact disclosures. The contribution basis and timing must be documented without silently changing an agreed seller payout.
