Refund Policy

CONSUMER LAW

Our goods come with the statutory guarantees imposed by the Australian Consumer Law. Below is some information about the rights that the statutory guarantees provide.

When can you obtain a refund or replacement under the statutory guarantees?

  1. We are not required to provide a refund or replacement if you change your mind.
  2. If the product doesn’t comply with one of the consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to have the product repaired or receive a refund or replacement, depending on whether there is a major or non-major problem.
  3. The statutory guarantees include guarantees that the product:
    – is of acceptable quality;
    – is fit for any disclosed purpose; and
    – matches its description or sample.
  4. You can choose a refund or exchange if a product has a major problem. This is when it:
    – has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying the product if they had known about it;
    – is unsafe;
    – is significantly different from the description or a sample; or
    – or what you asked for, and can’t be easily fixed.
  5. Alternatively, you can choose to keep the item and we will compensate you for any drop in value.
  6. For a non-major fault, we can repair the product in a reasonable time instead of offering a refund or replacement.
  7. Please keep your proof of purchase – e.g. your receipt.

 

INITIAL COST OF RETURNS

  1. Products do not need to be in their original packaging to be returned. You may, however, need to ensure the products are adequately protected for posting or collection. If you are not able to take the products to the supplier in person, and the supplier does not have a complimentary pick up or return policy, you may have to return them by post or another delivery service.
  2. As a general rule, if the item can be posted or easily returned, you should cover the initial cost of returning faulty products to the supplier. You should keep the receipts for those costs because if the returned products are later confirmed to have a fault – whether major or minor – you can recover reasonable postage or transportation costs from the seller.

You can read more about your rights in regards to ‘refunds, repairs and replacements’ from the Consumer Affairs Website.

CHANGED YOUR MIND?

Change of mind refunds will not be offered however credits towards a different purchase will could be considered if an artwork is yet to be printed or the creation process has yet to be started. After 7 days of receipt this will no longer be considered possible.

Unfortunately we cannot accept returns for ‘made to order’ goods – such as printed artworks, custom original artworks for change of mind.

If decide to return your goods, you will be given the option of either a gallery credit or an exchange, to be agreed upon at the artist’s discretion.

If you opt for a store credit, you will be given a credit to the same value once the item has been returned to the gallery in its original condition and packaging. Any shipping costs incurred (including import/export duties) will not be refunded and the cost of returning the goods will be paid by you. We recommend using a trackable or signed-for delivery service such as registered post, as we cannot provide a store-credit until the item has been received.
