E-COMMERCE CLAUSES

Prices & Payments

  • All Item prices are listed in United States dollars (USD) and are non-negotiable. Prices may change without prior notice.
  • Promotional codes and discounts are limited to one per transaction, and they cannot be combined.
  • Full payment is required before packaging and shipping of Items. Commissioned Items will only be delivered upon receipt of final payment.
  • Failure to remit scheduled installment payments for commissions will result in work pause until payment is received.
  • Accepted payment methods: bank transfers, PayPal (links or invoices), debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and iDEAL (via Stripe). Cash is not accepted.

Returns & Refunds

To request a return, You must notify Us in writing within seven (7) calendar days of delivery. Returned Items must be shipped back to Us within ten (10) calendar days of our written confirmation of your request.

Refunds will be processed within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the returned Item, subject to the following conditions:

  • Refunds cover only the purchase price of the Item;
  • Shipping costs and payment processing fees (if applicable) will be deducted;
  • Refunds will be issued only if the Item is returned in the same condition in which it was delivered, with original packaging unopened; and
  • All costs and risks associated with return shipping are borne by You.

Backorders

The reservation fee for a backordered Item (USD $100, applied to hold an artwork pending final payment) is strictly non-refundable. If You fail to remit the final payment within thirty (30) calendar days of paying the reservation fee for the backorder, the reservation shall be deemed forfeited, and the fee will be redirected to support our social-impact project.

Should You later wish to purchase the same Item, You must either (i) pay the full purchase price at its then-current value, or (ii) submit a new backorder reservation fee and remit the final payment within the specified period.

Commissions

A non-refundable deposit of fifty percent (50%) of the total price is required for all commissioned Items (mural or artwork on canvas). If You cancel a commissioned project at least five (5) calendar days before the agreed-upon start date, as set forth in the mutually executed contract (bewteen You and Us), the deposit may be applied as credit toward the purchase of any Item available in our Art Gallery.

All progress payments made pursuant to installment schedules are strictly non-refundable, as such funds are allocated to materials and labor.

Failure to remit the final payment on the delivery date of a commissioned Item shall result in the following:

  • For a commissioned artwork on canvas, delivery shall be withheld until payment is received.
  • For a commissioned mural, remedies and consequences shall be enforced in accordance with the provisions of the mutually executed contract.

In the event that We cancel a commissioned project, both the deposit and all progress payments shall be refunded in full to You.

If a commissioned project is terminated due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control (including, without limitation, weather conditions, property changes, or emergencies), both Parties shall confer in good faith to determine equitable adjustments.

Packaging, Shipping, & Delivery

We cover all packaging and shipping costs. Fully paid Items will be shipped either flat in a reinforced cardboard box or rolled in a sturdy plastic tube.

All shipments are made exclusively through UPS, with worldwide delivery originating from Quintana Roo, México. Estimated delivery times are available at UPS.com.

Deliveries will be made by the Carrier to the shipping address provided in your order. You are responsible for ensuring that an authorized recipient is present to accept delivery.
