Gift Aid Agreement

•You are appointing Marie Curie Trading Ltd to act as your agent on your behalf in attempting to sell or dispose of the goods that you send to the shop. Where goods are sold, a commission of 2.5% of the sale price plus VAT will be charged for this service and deductedfrom the proceeds of the sale.

•You confirm that you own all of the goods that you send to the shop for sale, obtained them in a legal manner and you are notacting as a business. You agree that neither Marie Curie Trading Limited nor Marie Curie will be responsible for any loss or damage to any goods sent to the shop for sale.

•You confirm that Marie Curie Trading Ltd is instructed as your agent, to donate the net proceeds of the sales of your goods to Marie Curie and that it is not necessary to write to you to confirm the donations, provided that the total value of the net proceeds of sale of your goods so far in that tax year has not exceeded £1,000 (or such higher amount as specified by HM Revenue and Customs from time to time). Once a sale is made that brings the total value of the net proceeds of sale of your goods to more than £1,000 (or such higher amount as specified by HM Revenue and Customs from time to time), we must first write to you to confirm your consent to those funds over and above the initial £1,000 being donated. You will have 21 days from the date of notification to contact us for receipt of these funds less the commission specified above. You may notify us in writing at any time (at the address below), if you no longer want this agreement to apply.

•An end of year letter, informing you of the value of all goods sold on your behalf in that tax year will be sent to you before 31st May in the following tax year. This is a requirement of HM Revenue & Customs in order to confirm your status as a tax payer during the yearand therefore our eligibility to claim the Gift Aid.

•You confirm that you are a UK taxpayer and would like Marie Curie Trading Ltd to make donations to Marie Curie on your behalfand you would like all donations that you make, or have made in the last four years, to be treated as Gift Aid donations (until you notify us otherwise or this agreement is terminated). You understand that if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in the current tax year, it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

•If we are unable to sell any of your goods after a period of 12 months from the date on which you sent them to the shop, Marie Curie Trading Ltd is instructed, as your agent, to transfer ownership of those goods to Marie Curie.

•Don’t forget to let us know if any of your details or circumstances change using any of the contact details below.

•You waive the right to claim interest that may have accrued on any cash you decide to reclaim from the sale of the items.

•Either you or we may terminate the agreement at any time by written notice.

•We may vary the terms of this agreement at any time by written notice to you.
