Terms and Conditions of Sale 

Throughout this web site   marks works which have already been sold.

 

Use of this web-site and the purchase of goods from the web-site are governed by the terms and conditions as set out below.

1. Prices, description and availability of goods

Prices are subject to change without notice and all goods are sold subject to availability. Where goods are out of stock, I will contact you so that you may choose between a refund on the item, or selecting an alternative. I will, however endeavour to keep availability up to date. Although I do my best to give a true representation, colours may vary slightly from those shown on the web site due to the limitations of Internet technology, and can even vary from screen to screen. Orders are accepted at my discretion and I maintain the right to decline orders without giving an explanation.

2. Commissioning a painting

Commissions are negotiated individually, with respect to subject, price, timescale and framing. A deposit of 20% of the agreed fee is required, for the order to be accepted. Rough compositional sketches will be supplied prior to work starting on the painting. The balance is due on delivery of the finished work.

4. Cooling off period and returns

I want every purchase to be a source of pleasure for years to come. If for any reason you are unhappy with the goods purchased you may cancel your order and return the goods within 30 days from receipt of the goods, and will receive a refund within 30 days of cancellation. However it is your responsibility to take good care of the painting or print, before returning it and it must be returned in a pristine condition, so it can be resold.

If you wish to return goods, you should contact me for a returns number and I will not accept liability unless this procedure has been followed. Unless the goods are defective, damaged or not as specified on your order, you are responsible for the cost of returning goods. I recommend that you re-use the packaging and send by Recorded Delivery for unframed items, as proof of shipping is not proof of receipt. Framed originals should be returned by courier, re-using the secure packaging as far as possible. Return address and instructions are included with your e-mail confirmation of order and despatch.
