• After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we send you an e-mail that confirms that the Artworks have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you Dispatch Confirmation.
• If we are unable to supply you with an Artwork, for example because that Artwork is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site as referred to in clause 14, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order.

If we have to revise these Terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the Contract if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Artworks or just the Artworks you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Artworks you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

• If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep an Artwork, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund.
• However, this cancellation right does not apply if your purchase of an artwork includes a special order, custom print and/or custom-made frame or is a commissioned artwork.
• Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date when we confirm dispatch, which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out below:
  • Your Contract End of the cancellation period.
  • Your Contract is for a single artwork: The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the Artwork.
  • Your Contract is for multiple Artworks which are delivered on separate days: The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last of the Artworks ordered.
• To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is via Email. If you use this method we will e-mail you to confirm we have received your cancellation. If you are e-mailing us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by our contact us page or e-mail, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the notification.
• If you cancel your Contract we will:
  • (a) Refund you the price you paid for the Artworks. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop;
  • (b) In the case of Artworks returned from addresses in the United Kingdom: refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer;
  • (c) make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
    • (i) If you have received the Artwork and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Artwork back from you. For address details, see clause 2;
    • (ii) If you have not received the Artwork and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
• If you have returned the Artworks to us under this clause because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Artworks in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us. Please note that we must have opportunity first to opt to collect the artwork from you.
• We will refund you on the credit card / debit card or PayPal used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Artwork we may refund you in vouchers.
• If an Artwork has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
  • (a) Then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. You can either send it back, or return it to us at the address given in clause 2;
  • (b) Unless the Artwork is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 6.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Artworks to us. If the Artwork is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Artwork to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery.
• Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Artworks that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Artworks that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause or anything else in these Terms.

We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

1. Customer’s obligation
   1. The customer (the “buyer”) will provide all necessary information (including images where applicable) in order for the artist to agree a timeline, a scope and a fixed price for the commissioned artwork. Once authorised, the buyer will stay in regular contact with both the artist and the art-ma team until the transaction is completed. The customer agrees to accept the artwork as it is shipped, in accordance with what has been agreed with art-ma.
   2. The price agreed with art-ma will not change once the deposit has been paid unless otherwise agreed between the customer and art-ma.
   3. The buyer will pay an agreed amount, as a non-refundable initial deposit, at the commencement of the transaction at which point the customer commits to purchasing the final product provided all interim progress reports meet their approval. The customer will pay the final balance once the artwork has been completed. The buyer will forfeit the non-refundable deposit should they choose not to proceed with the order.
   4. The customer will respect the artist’s creative process, style and technique as part of the artistic process involved in the creation of the commission. The buyer will accept the artist’s freedom of expression in accordance with their practice. By paying the deposit the customer confirms that they base their decision to proceed with the commission on the artist’s body of work presented to the customer on art-ma at the time of requesting the commission.
   5. If an artwork has been commissioned, the artist retains the copyright for the artwork/s they have produced. If any form of artwork is commissioned, copies (in any form) can be made without the express consent of the customer. The artist will follow the guidelines and specifications outlined by the art-ma team, with regard to commissions.
   6. You are not obliged to proceed with the commission until you have paid the deposit.
   7. The buyer will not retain intellectual property rights in the artwork/s commissioned and consequently shall not be entitled to exploit artwork/s commercially by reproducing images of the artwork/s on prints, merchandising or for any other purpose, or licensing others to do the same.

   2. We will work together with the artist and the customer to ensure the financial aspect of the commission is carried out in a smooth and timely manner. We will send to the buyer and the seller a written confirmation regarding the receipt of the deposit and the final payment at every stage that it is required.
   3. We will liaise between the customer and the artist as and when it is appropriate, at the request of either the buyer or the seller, throughout the course of the transaction. We will put through the order manually, on the customer’s behalf, when we have collected the funds for the final balance.
   4. We will oversee delivery and receipt of the artwork at which point the transaction will be concluded.
3. Returns & Disputes
   1. The customer waives any right to a return for a custom made product, including any framing if applicable. A return can only be accepted if the artwork arrives with the customer in an unsatisfactory state and then the normal art-ma returns procedure will apply and the customer will receive a full refund, including the initial deposit.
   2. If there is a dispute between the customer and the artist, regarding the final product meeting the initial criteria, we will offer assistance on a case-by-case basis. The artist is under no obligation to create a second commissioned artwork if the customer is dissatisfied with the first.
   3. art-ma reserves the right to issue the customer a refund should the artist deliver an artwork that clearly and significantly differs from the agreed brief.
   4. The final resolution for any and all disputes will be taken by art-ma and must be accepted by both parties.

Terms and Conditions for Online Auctions:

Please read these Conditions of Sale and the Sale Particulars carefully before PLACING ANY BID OR OFFERING TO BUY ANY ITEM USING BUY-NOW. 

These conditions of sale and the sale particulars set out terms and conditions which will become contractually binding on anyone who registers to bid for an auction and/or places a bid on any Lot in an on-line auction. They also describe certain limitations and exclusions of liability for Art-ma and (where applicable) the third party seller of an item.

1. By registering and/or by bidding in an auction, or where you offer to purchase a lotusing Buy-Now, you agree to these Conditions of Sale and the Sale Particulars shall be contractually binding on you with Art-ma.
2. If you make a successful bid for a lotin an auction, or purchase a lot using Buy-Now, these Conditions of Sale and the provisions of the Sale Particulars will form a contract for sale of that lot between you and the seller.
3. For each lot there will be a starting bid or reserve. Bids will not be accepted for amounts lower than the starting bid or reserve.
4. When you enter an amount higher than the reserve price or the current bid you will become the highest bidder and your bid will show as the current bid.
5. If you are outbid, you will receive an outbid email notifying you and inviting you to bid again.
6. Where lots have a ‘Buy Now’ option, you may purchase the item at the Buy Now price before the auction closes. If this functionality is offered it allows you to buy the relevant lot at a fixed price – the Buy-Now price. If you exercise the Buy Now option, the Conditions of Sale and Sale Particulars for that lot will apply to the sale in the same manner as if you had been the successful bidder in an auction for that lot. The auction for that lot will end immediately on your exercise of the Buy Now option and no further bids will be accepted. Where the auction sale proceeds are to benefit a registered charity, and where the Buy Now option has not been exercised it will be possible for you to bid beyond the Buy Now price so that you may maximize the benefit for the charity. In this case where a bidder places a bid in excess of the Buy Now price the Buy Now option will no longer be available for that lot.

1. Subject to the rights and exclusions set out below, the highest bid when the lot closes will be the successful bidder. This means a contract for sale has been formed between the sellerand the successful bidder at the end of the auction. Winning bidders will receive an email notification of any successful bid setting out the process for completion of their purchase.
2. Art-ma does not accept responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bids unless you are successful, but will generally as a matter of courtesy notify you that the item has been sold to a higher bidder.
3. In the case of Buy Now sales you are required to complete the payment process within 30 minutes after which time the lot will again be open to bidders and the previous current bid will be in place.
4. In the case of a successful highest bid, you are required to complete the payment process within 24 hours of the end of the auction.
5. Ownership of the lot will not transfer to you until you have paid in full.

As a highest bidder, or as a purchaser of a lot via the Buy Now option, delivery will be offered at a fixed price.

1. Please note that broadband or other internet capacity constraints, corporate firewalls and other technical problems beyond our reasonable control may create difficulties for some users including, by way of example, in relation to accessing sales and in maintaining continuity of such access. Errors may occur in the quality of digital images. We do not accept liability for such difficulties or errors.
2. Art-ma reserves the right, in our absolute discretion, to reject your registration to bid; to reject, revoke or refuse to accept any bid or use of Buy-Now(even those that have been previously accepted); to withdraw or divide any lot; combine any two or more lots; or, whether during or after the sale, to restart or continue the bidding or to re-offer the lot as a new Buy-Now item at a fixed price. Art-ma also reserves the right to disable or deactivate your account at any time during the sale. Art-ma may exercise such rights in cases where a manifest error becomes apparent but this does not limit the circumstances in which Art-ma may exercise such rights.
3. Art-mareserves the right, at our complete discretion, to withdraw any lot from the sale, whether prior to or during the auction or Buy-Now sale, and shall have no liability whatsoever with regard to such

1. Charge a late payment fee of 5% of the sale price.
2. Cancel the sale of the lot. If this option is exercised, the lot may be offered for sale again and you will be liable for any shortfall between the amount due from you and the proceeds of resale.
