French term

vente pour box

French to English Marketing Business/Commerce (general) in a contract/sales term
Anybody know what this is?

It comes in a contract and basically says that a manufacturer has the right to change materials in the case of:
"soldes, promotions exceptionnelles, ventes flash, vente privée, vente pour box, impression direct..."

Could be a container load or something similar? (I suppose it's not a garage sale given it's a manufacturer!)

Thanks

Ariane, pretty sure you have not found many T-shirts in groceries :-)
But you're right in supermarkets they call sometimes "une box" a large cardboad "box" in which they drop jumbled t-shirts, polo-shirts, whatever... it's part of their jargon....

Thanks. Never read "vente pour box" before ( and 6 hits only on google)...
A box can be a box (not often but sometimes like in the example given by Françoise), a lock-up, a garage (lockup garage), or a Broadband home box...
The other thing that puzzles me a little bit is the "pour" in "vente pour box"...
as if the box was... a box I would expect "vente EN box" ('in" and not "for") but I am not sure, as "pour" can be used too,
I know all this doesn't help much...

Based on your word reference responses and my experience in French grocery stores I believe they are talking about package deals such as "Wonderbox" and not a subscription box.

the whole section... Patrick, the entire part of this section says:

Le concédant autorise le licencié à fabriquer, imprimer, commercialiser et distribuer les produits et visuels cédés sur un autre support, une autre marque de textile vierge, une autre coupe ou sur un autre modèle:
- En cas de rupture de stock des fournisseurs prédéfinis de bases textiles vierges
- En cas de soldes, promotions exceptionnelles, ventes flash, vente privée, vente pour box, impression direct lors d’évènements/animations en magasin/corner/salon ou pour tout autre évènement exceptionnelle et limitée dans le temps
- En cas d’accroissement soudain et imprévu de l’activité.
- Pour toute autre raison indépendante de la volonté et de la responsabilité du licencié

I wonder whether they're talking about this type of "box":

- Qu'appelez-vous "materials" (quel est le mot français utilisé ?)
Can we have the list of cases in full please?
Brian Cleveland (asker) Aug 14, 2015:
Sorry Phil. They are selling textile goods, mainly T-shirts and the like.
(And I thought I hadn't posted the wordreference question properly because I couldn't find it again afterwards! Thanks for the pointer!)

What are they selling?

sales for subscription boxes

Going by the context and the preceding "vente privée", I believe they are referring to subscription boxes here.

Le concept de vente privée n’est pas nouveau mais dans la plupart des cas il s’applique à des marques très connues. Pour ce qui est des Box, il est assez rare d'en trouver. Nous allons donc à présent pouvoir vous proposer avec ces Box des remises très intéressantes ayant un caractère inédit.

If you’re not familiar with this relatively new retail trend, subscription boxes are a fast-growing business model in which companies like Blue Apron, JewelMint and ShoeDazzle curate and send everything from prepackaged dinner ingredients to baubles or shoes straight to your doorstep.
