SAMPLE VENDOR AGREEMENT



Booth Rentals: Booths vary in size depending on the needs of each dealer and floor space available. Booths will be rented on a first-come, first-served basis.  Vendors are required to pay the first months rent in advance by move-in date. The rental contract is extended on a month-to-month basis.  Dealers may stock their booth anytime during store hours.  The vendor or Main Street Vintage management may terminate the rental agreement by submitting a 30-day notice. If a 30-day notice is not given the full month’s rent will still be due before any merchandise is allowed to be moved out.

Rent Due: Rent is due the first day of the month for that month. Rent will be deducted from accumulated sales of the previous month.  If rent exceeds sales then payment by the vendor is due by the 8th of the month, vendor needs to contact management to see what, if any, rent is due.  If rent is not paid by the 8th, a $5 late fee will be applied to the account, unsold merchandise cannot be removed from the store until rent is paid in full.  Rent extends from the first day of the month to the last day of the month. When rent becomes more than 60 days overdue and Main Street Vintage has made attempts to contact vendor, Main Street Vintage has the right to box up and remove items from booth, terminate contract and rent booth to another vendor. A statement of sales will be given with check each month, please retain copies for your records as Main Street Vintage does not provide 1099s.
