Commission Policy
General
This Commission Policy, the (”Policy”) applies from 1 January 2026 and covers items handed in by a customer (”Customer”) to Vangelis from this date onwards. The Policy does not apply retroactively to items submitted prior to this date.
By handing in items to Vangelis for commission sale, whether through a booked drop-off, a spontaneous in-person drop-off, or following contact via email or telephone, the Customer confirms that they have read and accepted the Policy and any subsequent updates.
It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to review the Policy available at vangelisclothing.com. Vangelis is not responsible for ensuring that the Customer has been informed of the Policy contents at the time of drop-off.
Ownership, responsibility and insurance
The Customer confirms that they are the rightful owner of the item and have full legal right to submit it for sale. The item remains the property of the customer throughout the Commission Period.
Vangelis exercises normal care in handling and storing items but does not take responsibility for normal wear, minor changes in fit, or natural ageing of materials.
During the Commission Period, items are insured through Vangelis’ business insurance (”Vangelis Insurance”). The Vangelis Insurance covers damage resulting from events such as fire, theft or water damage while the item is in the care of Vangelis, and only to the extent that Vangelis is legally or contractually liable in accordance with the insurance policy’s terms, compensation rules and maximum coverage limits.
Assessment and approval
All items undergo a quality and authenticity assessment. This assessment may take place both at the time of submission and during the subsequent handling of the item.
Vangelis reserves the right to decline any items that in Vangelis sole opinion does not meet the quality standards or are deemed difficult to sell.
If cleaning, restoration or minor repairs are considered necessary to make an item sellable or to ensure a presentation in line with Vangelis’ standards, Vangelis may carry out such measures without prior approval from the Customer. This may include, for example, dry cleaning, minor repairs or replacement of missing buttons.
The costs of such measures, including a handling surcharge of 10% of the service cost, will be deducted from the Customer’s commission payout. Measures are undertaken only when they are deemed to secure or increase the item’s sales value.
Pricing
Short summary
All prices are set by Vangelis. Upon sale, the net amount after tax is split according to the Swedish margin taxation model (Vinst Marginal Beskattning, VMB), with 40% allocated to the Customer and 60% to Vangelis. A handling fee of 50 SEK per submitted item also apply.
Further explanation
For the sale of pre-owned goods, Vangelis applies margin taxation (VMB), the VAT model used for second-hand goods, auctions and commission sales.
In practice, tax is calculated on Vangelis’ share of the sale, which affects how the net amount is distributed between Vangelis and the Customer.
The commission split is 40% to the Customer and 60% to Vangelis, calculated on the net amount after tax under VMB has been deducted.
To ensure a simple and predictable process, we apply an average deduction of approximately 3–4% of the retail price, corresponding to the tax payable to the Swedish Tax Agency under VMB (approximately 12% of the margin).
As our systems develop and calculations become fully automated, the exact distribution may be adjusted slightly. The principle remains the same: the Customer always receives their share based on the net amount after tax, with no hidden fees.
Example of distribution
If an item sells for 1 000 SEK, the amount is first reduced by tax under VMB (approximately 3–4%), after which the remaining net amount is split 40% to the Customer and 60% to Vangelis. After the handling fee of 50 SEK per item, the Customer receives approximately 340 SEK.
Handling fee
A handling fee of 50 SEK per submitted item applies to all commission sales.
The fee covers the work involved from intake to finished presentation for sale, including review, photography, product description, measurements and fit assessment. This allows Vangelis to maintain a consistently high standard in curation, presentation and the overall sales process.
The handling fee is deducted upon sale and is non-refundable if the item remains unsold.
Commission period
The standard commission period is 5 months from the date of submission (”Commission Period”). During this period, the item is marketed and offered for sale through Vangelis’ sales channels.
After the Commission Period
Once the Commission Period has ended, it is the Customer’s responsibility to decide how any unsold items should be handled.
The Customer has 7 days from the end of the Commission Period to either:
- collect the item, or;
- request return shipment via email (shipping costs are charged to the customer).
If the Customer does not collect the item or requested return shipment within 7 days after the end of the Commission Period, ownership of the item transfers to Vangelis.
Transfer of ownership
Upon transfer of ownership, Vangelis has full right to sell, donate or otherwise responsibly dispose of the item, without compensation to the Customer.
Payout
Payout to the Customer is made once all items from a submission have been sold and the return period has expired.
Any costs for services such as dry cleaning or repairs, as well as the handling fee of 50 SEK per item, are deducted from the payout. Payment is made via the agreed payment method.
Customer contact details
The Customer is responsible for providing accurate and up-to-date contact details at the time of submission. Vangelis is not responsible for failed communication due to incorrect contact information.
Force majeure
Vangelis is not liable for loss, damage or delay caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Amendments to the Policy
Vangelis reserves the right to update the Policy. The version published on the website shall apply to all submissions made after the 1 January 2026.
