A&R Italian Imports Drop Ship Program

Terms & Conditions

  1. Wholesaler’s Role

The Wholesaler provides product fulfillment for all sales generated by the Retailer using product images supplied by the Wholesaler. The Wholesaler is not involved in the actual transaction between the Retailer and the Customer and is not an agent of either party.
All product images remain the sole property of the Wholesaler. Retailers may only use these images to promote sales that will be fulfilled by the Wholesaler. Use of images outside the Retailer’s specified website requires prior written consent.
The Wholesaler’s shipping process will be transparent to customers; packages will appear to come directly from the Retailer.

  1. Ordering & Shipping

Orders may be placed via:

  • Website: www.aritalianimports.com (login required once account is approved)
  • Email: sales@aritalianimports.com
  • Telephone: 754-227-6124

Orders ship within 1–3 business days. Product availability and prices are updated regularly but may change without notice.
Orders will be shipped directly to customers once the order form is completed online and payment is confirmed. All shipments use UPS Ground with the Retailer’s company name on the shipping label. Expedited shipping is available upon request.
Drop shipping service is provided at no extra charge. The Wholesaler is not responsible for UPS shipping issues such as delays, lost or stolen packages. Replacements are shipped via UPS Ground only.

If the Retailer chooses to use their own shipping account to fulfill orders instead of the Wholesaler’s shipping account, the Wholesaler will not be liable for any damages, delays, lost packages, or other shipping-related issues since the shipment did not use the Wholesaler’s shipping account.

  1. Billing & Payments

Retailers must provide valid credit card information prior to participation. Credit cards will be charged daily for orders placed and shipped that day.
For future-dated shipments, a 50% deposit is required. Shipments will not occur until payment clears.
Accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Check payments require prior arrangement and clearances before shipping; a $50 fee applies for returned checks.

  1. Fees and Charges

The Wholesaler will provide Retailers with detailed product pricing and suggested retail prices; however, Retailers set their own retail prices independently. Retailers are responsible for all fees and charges on items shipped.
All rights are reserved by the Wholesaler.

  1. Sales and Tax

Retailers are solely responsible for collecting, reporting, and remitting all applicable sales taxes. The Wholesaler is not responsible for tax collection or reporting on any transaction.

  1. Return Policy

Customers may return any product within 5 days of receipt if undamaged. Returns after 5 days incur a 20% restocking fee.
Claims for damaged or defective items must be made within 5 days of receipt.
Replacements ship via UPS Ground only; expedited replacement shipping is not provided.

  1. Bad Address Fees

Retailers are responsible for fees resulting from incorrect shipping information. If reshipping is required due to a bad address, the original shipping charge will be added to the Retailer’s account.

  1. Responsibility

The Wholesaler is not responsible for the Retailer’s website success, content accuracy, or legal compliance. Participation is at the Retailer’s discretion without reliance on other guarantees.

  1. Right to Modify

The Wholesaler reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes are not retroactive. Retailers may terminate participation if modifications are unacceptable; continued participation implies acceptance.

  1. Non-Payment

Non-payment results in immediate removal from the program. Legal action may be pursued if payments are overdue by 30 days. The Wholesaler is not responsible for payment disputes between Retailer and Customer.

  1. Severability

If any provision is found unlawful or unenforceable, it will be severed without affecting the rest of the agreement.

  1. Business Eligibility

Applicants must operate businesses in the Gift, Favors, Event Planning, Church, Gift Shop, Party Favor industries, or similar. Businesses unrelated to our product lines will not be accepted.

  1. Insurance

Shipments made using the Wholesaler’s shipping account include standard UPS insurance coverage. If the Retailer uses their own shipping account, they are responsible for any insurance or liability coverage.

  1. Confidentiality

Retailers agree to keep all proprietary information, including pricing, product images, and terms, confidential and not disclose them to third parties without the Wholesaler’s written consent.

  1. Termination

Either party may terminate participation at any time with written notice. Termination does not relieve the Retailer of outstanding payment obligations.

  1. Indemnification

The Retailer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Wholesaler from any claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses arising out of the Retailer’s sales activities, website content, or breach of this agreement.

  1. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delays or failure to perform due to causes beyond their reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of war, or other unforeseeable events.
