Terms for Wholesale Accounts

Approved wholesale accounts can pay for orders 30 days after the order date. All other wholesale orders are paid at checkout by credit card or ACH bank payment.

These terms apply to orders placed directly with Emily Lex Studio. Orders placed through Faire follow Faire's payment terms.

Who can apply

• An operating retail business with a valid resale certificate on file
• A United States business address and United States bank account
• At least 1 order with Emily Lex Studio, paid at checkout with no dispute
• 12 months or more in business
• No open disputes, chargebacks or returned payments with Emily Lex Studio
• Retailers first introduced to Emily Lex Studio through the Faire marketplace continue to order through Faire

How to apply

1. Complete the credit application.
2. Give your legal and trade name, entity type, Employer Identification Number (EIN), years in business, owner names and titles, billing and ship-to addresses, accounts payable email, resale certificate and requested credit limit.
3. List 3 trade references that give you net terms (company, contact, email, phone) and 1 bank reference (bank name and contact only, no account numbers).
4. Sign the authorization to contact your references and bank and to get business credit reports, and agree to the terms on this page. Some accounts also sign a personal guarantee.

We review applications in 5 business days and email the decision. Starting credit limits are up to $2,500. You can ask for a higher limit after 6 months of on-time payments.

How payment works

• Payment is due 30 days after the order date.
• Save a bank account (ACH) or credit card at checkout. We charge it on the due date, so you do not need to send payment.
• We accept ACH bank payment and credit cards only. No checks, cash or cash on delivery. No card surcharge.
• Pay early at any time with Pay now in your account. We do not offer early-payment discounts.
• Sending an ACH transfer instead? It must arrive at least 3 business days before the due date with your order number in the remittance. Otherwise we charge your saved payment method.
• If an order takes your open balance over your credit limit, we charge the amount over the limit to your saved payment method before shipping, or hold the order until open invoices are paid.
• Sales tax is charged unless a valid resale certificate is on file.

Late payments

• Balances unpaid more than 5 days after the due date accrue a late charge of 1.5% per month (18% per year), or the maximum rate allowed by law if lower.
• Each returned or declined payment has a $25 fee.
• Accounts more than 10 days past due pay at checkout, and open orders may be held, until all past-due amounts are paid.
• 3 late payments or 2 returned payments in any 12 months end net terms.
• Past-due accounts pay reasonable collection costs, including attorney and collection agency fees.

Claims, credits and disputes

• Report shortage, damage or defect within 14 days of delivery.
• Do not deduct from or short-pay an invoice. We issue credits as store credit on your account for your next order. Undisputed amounts stay due on the due date.
• Questions about a charge? Contact us before you file a card chargeback or bank dispute.

Keeping your terms

• We review terms accounts each year and may change a credit limit or end net terms at any time.
• Terms lapse after 12 months with no order.
• Terms do not transfer to a new owner. Tell us within 30 days of a change in ownership or legal name.

These terms add to the Emily Lex Studio Wholesale Agreement. Washington law governs.
