Terms of Trade

Rugby Collective (rugbycollective.co.nz)

These Terms of Trade outline the conditions under which Rugby Collective (“we”, “us”, or “our”) purchases goods from individuals or businesses (“you”, “seller”).

By offering items for sale to Rugby Collective, you agree to the following terms.

1. Overview

Rugby Collective purchases vintage and modern sporting apparel and related items, including but not limited to rugby, league, cricket, football, and basketball jerseys.

All purchases are made at our discretion and subject to inspection, authenticity, and condition.

2. Seller Representations

By selling to Rugby Collective, you confirm that:

  • You are the legal owner of the item(s)

  • You have full authority to sell the item(s)

  • The item(s) are genuine and not counterfeit

  • The item(s) are not stolen or unlawfully obtained

  • All information provided to us is accurate and complete

We reserve the right to request proof of ownership or additional information where required.

3. Pricing & Offers

  • All offers made by Rugby Collective are based on the information provided at the time (including photos, description, and condition).

  • Offers may be revised if the item differs from what was initially represented.

  • Pricing reflects current market demand, condition, rarity, and resale potential.

  • All offers are valid for a limited time (24 hours) unless otherwise agreed.

4. Inspection & Condition

All items are subject to inspection upon receipt.

If an item:

  • Differs significantly from its description

  • Is damaged beyond what was disclosed

  • Is not authentic

We reserve the right to:

  • Revise the offer

  • Decline the purchase

  • Return the item at the seller’s cost (unless otherwise agreed)

5. Payment Terms

  • Payment will be made once the item has been received, inspected, and approved unless otherwise agreed.

  • Payments are typically processed via bank transfer unless otherwise agreed.

  • Timeframes for payment may vary but are generally completed within 1–3 business days after approval.

6. Shipping & Delivery

  • Sellers are responsible for ensuring items are securely packaged and shipped.

  • Shipping costs are agreed prior to dispatch.

  • Risk remains with the seller until the item is received by Rugby Collective, unless otherwise agreed.

We recommend tracked and insured shipping where possible.

7. Ownership & Risk

Where payment is made in advance, ownership of the item transfers to Rugby Collective upon full payment.

Risk, however, remains with the seller until the item has been safely delivered to and accepted by Rugby Collective.

The seller is responsible for ensuring the item is securely packaged and shipped, and we recommend using tracked and insured delivery services.

8. Rejected Items

If an item is not accepted:

  • We will notify you promptly

  • The item may be returned to you at your cost

  • If return shipping is not arranged within a reasonable timeframe, we reserve the right to dispose of the item

Rugby Collective takes fraud seriously.

If an item is found to be:

  • Stolen

  • Misrepresented

We reserve the right to:

  • Refuse payment

  • Retain the item

  • Report the matter to relevant authorities

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law:

  • Rugby Collective is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss

  • Our liability is limited to the agreed purchase price of the item

11. Privacy

Any personal information provided during the transaction will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
