STORE POLICY

By renting a booth at In the Middle: Thrift Reimagined, you agree to these policies to ensure a secure and smooth selling experience.
 

1. Booth Rental & Setup

• Booths rent for $35/week (Saturday–Friday).

• Setup: Saturdays from 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM

• Takedown: Fridays from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

  • Optional $10 takedown service available.

  • Uncollected items will be stored for 3 days at $3/day, then considered donated.

• Booths are non-refundable, if you can't make your booth rental let us know and we will reschedule your booth. 

• Please note: We do not track or record individual item counts.
  Because vendors are responsible for tagging and managing their own inventory, we are unable to provide exact item counts or itemized reports. 

2. Vendor Responsibilities

• Vendors set their own prices and must properly tag items using provided tags, tagging guns, markers, and stickers.

• Restocking is allowed anytime during the rental week to help maximize sales.

• Participation in weekly Discount Days (Thursdays & Fridays) is encouraged to increase visibility and sales.

• Selling of Brand Name Replicas Is Prohibited
  The sale of counterfeit or replica brand-name items (such as fake designer bags, shoes, or clothing) is strictly prohibited at In the Middle.

  • This includes any item that imitates a registered trademark without authorization, even if it is labeled as “inspired by” or “replica.”

  • This policy aligns with both New Mexico state consumer protection laws and federal trademark law, including:

  • The Lanham Act (15 U.S. Code § 1114), which protects registered trademarks from unauthorized use.

  • The New Mexico Unfair Practices Act (§ 57-12-1 NMSA 1978), which prohibits deceptive or misleading business practices, including the sale of counterfeit goods.

  • Violations may result in the removal of items, forfeiture of booth privileges, and potential legal consequences.

• ​Prohibited Items: Vendors may not sell medications, drugs, weapons, alcohol, tobacco products, power tools, items containing lithium batteries, or food products. Food may only be sold if the vendor holds the appropriate license and the product packaging complies with all rules and guidelines required by that license. Any prohibited items will be removed from the sales floor.

3. Security & Risk

• Security cameras and staff are on-site, but In the Middle is not liable for lost, stolen, or damaged items.

• No refunds or reimbursements are offered for missing inventory.

• High-value items should be placed near the checkout counter or in locked display cases.

• Individual item counts are not tracked.

• Vendors are expected to treat booths with care—damages beyond normal wear may incur repair charges.

4. Sales & Payouts

• In the Middle retains a 33% commission and 3% credit card processing fee on all sales.

• Vendors receive payment  within 5–7 business days after booth takedown.

• Payouts are only processed after booth takedown is completed.

5. Unsold Items & Donations

• All booths must be cleared by Friday at 8:00 PM.
  Vendors have two options for unsold inventory:

  • Store items for 3 additional days at $3/day.

  • Donate items to be resold in support of nonprofit causes,  given directly to community organizations or used at the stores discretion. 

6. Store Compliance

• Vendors must follow all store policies and staff instructions.

• Policy violations, fraudulent behavior, or misuse of booth privileges may result in a ban from future rentals.

• In the Middle reserves the right to revise these terms at any time.

By booking a booth, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Booth Rental Terms & Conditions.
