Purchasing an Artwork
1. Artworks that are priced or have “Price on Application” will require you, the buyer, to provide your name, email address and location. The artist or their representative will respond to you, the buyer, to confirm (i) that the artwork is available, (ii) their commitment to proceed with the sale and (iii) the sale price.

2. If you wish to enquire about purchasing an unpriced artwork you can use the contact page to enquire about the availability of the work and the price. The artist or their representative will respond to you, the buyer, to confirm (i) that the artwork is available, (ii) their commitment to proceed with the sale and (iii) the sale price.

3. Unless otherwise specified the prices shown on the website include UK delivery. Deliveries to locations outside of the UK must be negotiated with the artist or their representative.


Prices and Delivery
1. Depending upon the shipping address the artist or their representative, at their discretion, will either send the artwork to you, the buyer, or will request that the buyer arranges collection from the artist. In the latter case the buyer must arrange their own shipping and insurance.

2. If the artist or their representative has opted to deliver the artwork to you, any shipping and insurance costs may be added to the price of the work and passed on to the buyer.

3. Once the artist or their representative has received payment, the artwork will be sent to the buyer or made available for collection by the buyer's courier.


Returns Policy
1. You, the buyer, may return the artwork within 30 days of the delivery or collection date if you are unhappy with it.

2. You will be required to meet all shipping and insurance costs of returning the artwork to the artist or their representative.

3. The artwork must be returned in an undamaged and unmarked condition as was supplied to you.

4. Once the artwork has been received the artist or their representative will arrange a refund to you of the sale price, excluding any delivery and insurance charges they may have incurred when the work was initially sent.


Exclusions
1. All terms and conditions laid out above are specific to purchases of our members work made by (i) a reservation made on our website or (ii) a direct enquiry to our secretary or a member artist (or their representative).
