THE BARKERY

VENDERS: All approved vendors will have an initial two-month probationary membership contract, converting to a month-to-month contract thereafter, pending a final review of membership which will include the review of sales, team participation to cover a shift and performing duties required, and on-time payments. Makers must abide by this agreement and all the policies, protocols, and procedures of Dogs of Tucson (DoT), and any future changes made to these documents. Any custom orders delivered or received at DoT are subject to commission payable to DoT. All payments for sales are paid by direct deposit to the artists and all artists are required to fill out a W9 for participation.

SHIFTS: As a vendor, you agree to volunteer to cover shifts during events and when The Bark Park is experiencing high traffic. Vendors can sign up two months in advance. If you cannot fulfill your scheduled shift(s), you must arrange for a substitute and contact management as soon as possible to help facilitate the exchange of shifts. Please note that if another vendors works a shift on your behalf you are required to work that artist's shift within 30 days of the occurrence. PAYMENT TERMS: After signing the artist contract, the first month's and last month's payment will be due before moving in. At the start of the second month, rent is due monthly on or before the 5th of the month with $1 added for every day the rent is past due. The rent payment runs from the first to the last day of the month. The Client will receive monthly statements and payment for all sales will be distributed by the 5^th of the following month. After being accepted into the barkery you will receive an email from Melio which allow Dogs of Tucson to send electronic deposits.

MEETINGS: Vendors must participate in the quarterly meetings and are only allowed 2 missed meetings per calendar year. Missing more than 2 meetings may result in the vendor being placed on probation, with the potential of losing their placement. Vendor meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at 6 pm. We may rotate these meetings between in-person and virtual. Alternative meeting dates will be announced in advance.

PRESENTATION: The DoT team has the right to ask for edits to the items on display. All items must follow the dog theme. Vendors are required to keep displays stocked.

REGISTER PROCEDURES: DoT is a cash-free environment. All sales are completed by credit card.

LIABILITY: DoT does not provide insurance coverage for the items placed in the barkery by vendors. In the event of a fire, flood, theft, or other disasters, your work is not insured by DoT. For this reason, it is recommended that you carry insurance for your work and keep track of personal belongings in the gallery.

DEPARTURE: Members may terminate their contract with a 30 day's written notice; for example, a member wanting to leave the co-op by May 31 must send an email or present a letter by March 31. Their art should be removed by the end of the day on May 31. If for any reason you leave DoT and do not collect your art within 30 days, unclaimed items may be donated.

NOTICES: All communication regarding this vendor Agreement must be done in writing through email.
