2 The Contract
Our contract with You:
2.1 These terms and conditions apply:

2.1.2 in any event to you as a buyer or prospective buyer of our Goods;
2.2 Goods advertised may not be available.
2.3 We shall accept your order by e-mail confirmation. Our message will also confirm the final details of your purchase including the name of the artwork, its price, packaging and shipment and tell you when we shall despatch your order. That is when our contract is made. It is possible that the price may have changed from that posted on our web site.
2.4 We may change these terms from time to time. The terms that apply to you are those posted here on Our Web Site on the day you order Goods.
2.5 All descriptions, weights and sizes of Goods are those provided by the Artist and you may not rely on their accuracy. Accordingly, any such Content on the website shall not form part of this Agreement. The order confirmation will confirm all such details and will therefore be the basis of the contract.
2.6 If the Goods you order are not available, we will offer you alternatives before we despatch your order. If this happens you may:
2.6.1 accept the alternatives we offer;
2.6.2 cancel your order;
2.6.3 leave the order valid, but tell us to omit the out-of-stock item.
2.7 If we owe you money (for this or any other reason), we will return any sums due to you to via as soon as is reasonably practicable but in any event no later than 30 days from the date of your order.
2.8 Your contract is with us, and you may only correspond directly with us regarding sales of Goods, returns, commissions or refunds.
3 Price and Payment
3.1 You must pay us the full price of your order before we will send any part of it.
3.2 Banking charges by the receiving bank on payments to us will be borne by us. All other charges relating to payment in a currency other than pounds Sterling (GBP) will be borne by you.
3.3 Any details given by us in relation to exchange rates are approximate only and may vary from time to time.
3.4 You will pay all sums due to us under these terms by the means specified without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim.
4 Information You Give Us
4.1 You agree that you have provided, and will continue to provide accurate, up to date, and complete information about yourself. We need this information to provide you with the Goods.
4.2 We will use our reasonable endeavours to respond to any point of dissatisfaction by you, provided you contact us within 3 months of purchase.
5 Delivery
5.1 Deliveries will be made by the Carrier to the address stipulated in your order. You must ensure that someone is present to accept delivery.

6.1 We will endeavour to arrange delivery to countries outside the UK.

7.1 All correspondence regarding the return of Goods shall be carried out between You and Us.
7.2 You must tell us you wish to cancel within 14 days of your receipt of the Goods.
7.3 In any event, you may not cancel orders for artworks commissioned by the Artist.
