Standard artworks
For qualifying online purchases covered by UK consumer cancellation rules, you generally have 14 days from receiving your order to cancel without giving a reason.
Once you have notified me of your decision, you have a further 14 days to return the goods.
To exercise your cancellation right, please send a clear statement through the Contact page, including your order details. You do not need to wait for approval to exercise a statutory cancellation right. Return instructions will be provided to help you send the artwork back safely.
For change-of-mind returns, you are responsible for the direct cost of return postage unless applicable law requires otherwise. Please package the artwork carefully to prevent damage during transit.
Any refund due will include standard outbound delivery charges where required by law. Refunds will be issued through the original payment method, generally within 14 days of receiving the returned goods or evidence of their return, whichever is earlier.
A deduction may be made only where legally permitted if the artwork's value has been reduced by handling beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect it.
Personalised & Commissioned Artworks
Artworks created to your individual specifications or clearly personalised for you may be exempt from statutory change-of-mind cancellation rights.
Any applicable exception will be communicated before purchase.
These exceptions do not affect your rights if an artwork is faulty, damaged or not as described.
Statutory Consumer Rights
Nothing in this policy limits or excludes your statutory rights. Additional mandatory consumer protections may apply depending on your country of residence.
