Any breach of these policies will result in immediate revoking of your distribution grant, access to wholesale pricing, and may be subject to all reasonable damages as a result of the policy breach.
Please note that these policies are subject to change, and wholesale customers will be notified of significant changes.

Accepted wholesale customers ("Customer") will receive the non-exclusive right to sell Pixel Moon ("Seller") products in their store(s), subject to the terms and conditions laid out in this policy. The Customer must agree to and follow the following terms for the Distribution Grant to remain valid and in effect:

- The Customer may only sell Pixel Moon products at pre-approved permanent store locations (brick & mortar and/or online)
- The Customer may sell at non-permanent and temporary locations such at fairs, markets, pop-ups, conventions, etc., so long as it is clear and communicated that the Customer is selling Pixel Moon products as a distributor and is not the copyright owner/creator of the products.
- The Customer may not transfer this grant to another individual or business without written consent of the Seller.
Wholesale Pricing and Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)
To receive wholesale pricing, the Customer must abide by Pixel Moon’s requested minimum order quantities (MOQs) for both order total and per product. MOQs, pricing and currency are dependent on the shipping destination of the order.
- Minimum first-time order: $120.00 CAD or $90.00 USD before shipping.
- Subsequent/repeat orders: $100.00 CAD or $75.00 USD before shipping.
- Each product also has its own MOQ. For current product MOQs, please refer to the Pixel Moon Wholesale Catalog.
- For products with multiple variations, they may be combined to meet MOQ for that product so long as they are the same price.
- MOQs are subject to change at the discretion of the Seller.
- If Pixel Moon does not have enough stock to fulfill the customer’s order or MOQs, the Customer may alter their order or request a backorder for when items return in stock.
Termination of Distribution Grant
Both the Seller and Customer has the right to terminate the Customer's Distribution Grant and wholesale account at any time for any reason. Upon termination, the Customer will lose access to wholesale pricing. If termination occurs as the result of a breach of these terms and conditions, the Customer will no longer be allowed to sell any Pixel Moon products in their store(s), and may be liable to all necessary damages as a result of the breach. If termination occurs for any other reason, the Customer may only continue selling leftover stock of Pixel Moon products if they have written permission from the Seller.
Privacy and Use of Information
Wholesale Customers are subject to Pixel Moon's privacy policy as any other Pixel Moon Customer is. In addition, the Customer agrees to also allow the Seller to collect and use the Customer’s contact and company information for the purpose of performing the following tasks:
- Create and/or update a Pixel Moon customer account on the Customer’s behalf to conduct and fulfill wholesale transactions.
- Notify the customer of any important changes and updates to wholesale and wholesale policies.
- Share the company name, website, and store location(s) as a Pixel Moon stockist on the store website.
- Pack the Customer’s wholesale orders on video for social media promotion/marketing (these videos will not include any personal information about the Customer or their company, but will show the products the Customer has bought).
Making An Order
After registration is approved, wholesale customers will be provided both an order request sheet and Pixel Moon wholesale catalog. To make an order, the Customer may use the order request sheet to identify the individual items and quantities they would like to order by referring to the SKUs, MOQs, and pricing listed in the wholesale catalog.
The Customer can request backorders on items if there is not enough in stock to fulfill their order request.
There are also a number of order add-ons available, such as individual product packaging (versus bulk packaging), and business cards.
To submit an order request, please email it to info@pixelmoon.ca with the subject heading:“[Your Store Name][Wholesale Order]”. The Customer should check to make sure they have fulfilled all MOQs before submitting their order request.
If there is an issue with the order form, such as there not being enough stock on an item and as a result you no longer meet MOQ requirements, the Customer will be notified and asked to make any changes necessary to your order. Otherwise, the Customer will receive an invoice for the listed items with processing time and shipping cost.
Shipping and Processing Times
In most cases, wholesale orders will require a processing time of roughly 5-14 days before being dispatched. This processing time may increase for reasons such as, but not limited to: large orders, made-to-order items (MTOs), and backorders. Backorders may add an additional 1-4 weeks to processing times, to allow time for those products to be restocked and checked for quality control.
The Customer is responsible for the cost of shipping.
If the Customer requires their order by a certain date, it is recommended that:
- They create their order at least 1-2 months in advance of that date.
- Do not request backorder on any items, in case they cannot be restocked in time. (The Customer can contact the Seller regarding backorders on particular products to receive estimates for how long they will take to restock, however, due to these estimates relying on third-party manufacturers, the estimate cannot be guaranteed.)
- Select a faster shipping option.
For US Customers: Due to US customs duty and policies of Pixel Moon shipping partners, wholesale orders to the US may not exceed $800.00 USD in value. If the Customer would like to place an order that exceeds $800.00 USD, they may contact the Seller to discuss options, such as splitting the order into 2 orders across different dates, or finding a shipping carrier that will accept orders over $800.00, however, the Customer will be responsible for any additional shipping costs and duties/taxes that occur from orders exceeding $800.00.
Cancellations and Returns
The Customer may only request a cancellation of their order within 2 hours of paying the invoice. Otherwise, all sales are final.
Returns and refunds for wholesale orders can only be requested for items that are received as damaged or defective, up to 7 days after the order has been received. To request a refund/return, the Customer must contact Pixel Moon with the order number, and picture and/or video of the damaged or defective items. If the request is accepted, Pixel Moon will cover the cost of the return shipping label.
The Customer may request a replacement order for damaged/defective items instead of a refund, but must provide sufficient proof of the damaged items. If approved by the Seller, and the items are in stock, Pixel Moon will send replacements for the damaged items, subject to what is in stock. If Pixel Moon does not have enough stock to cover replacement for all of the damaged items, the Customer will receive a refund on only the items that cannot be replaced.
Pixel Moon is not responsible for the theft and/or damage of the items that occurs after the order has been marked as delivered by the shipping company, and will not provide refunds or replacements in that case.
Pixel Moon is also not responsible for the sale of items in the Customer’s store and it is the Customer’s responsibility to sell and market the Pixel Moon items they’ve ordered.
