Price pledge

Postage and packing is shown for purchasers in UK. For others an additional charge is made, at cost. Please contact us for details.

 

Frames

Prices for original works do not include frames unless explicitly stated. As framing is such a personal choice I have therefore left the decision up to you. Having said this I can offer a framing service for which an additional charge is made, at cost.

 

Delivery

Delivery of the Goods shall be made by us to the address for delivery shown in the order form.

Whilst every effort will be made to ensure that any Goods ordered are delivered within the period specified for delivery of such goods on the relevant page and subject to our obligations under the Regulations, any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and we shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods however caused. The Goods may be delivered by us in advance of the estimated delivery date. If delivery is delayed due to any cause beyond our reasonable control, the delivery date will be extended by a reasonable period and we will contact you to arrange an alternative time.

If we fail to deliver the artwork for any reason other than any cause beyond our reasonable control or your fault, and we are accordingly liable to you, our liability shall be limited to the price of the Goods.

If you fail to take delivery of the Goods or fail to give us adequate delivery instructions then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to us, we may cancel the Contract and refund to you the price of the goods less the cost of their delivery and the cost of their being returned to us.
