Here's an updated version of the return policy, including specific details about commissioned work:
Haven Art Gallery Return Policy
1. All Sales Are Final
- No Returns: All sales of artwork are final. We do not accept returns, exchanges, or offer refunds once a purchase has been completed.
2. Artwork Inspection
- In-Gallery Purchase: We encourage all customers to carefully inspect the artwork in person before finalizing a purchase. Our gallery staff is available to assist with any questions or concerns you may have about the artwork.
- Online Purchase: For online purchases, please review the images, descriptions, and details carefully before making a decision. We are happy to provide additional information or images upon request.
3. Commissioned Work
- Non-Returnable and Non-Refundable: Commissioned artwork is created specifically to your specifications and is therefore non-returnable and non-refundable. Once a commission has been initiated, a non-refundable deposit is required, and the final payment is due upon completion.
- Approval Process: We work closely with you throughout the creation process, providing regular updates and seeking your approval at key stages to ensure the final artwork meets your expectations.
- Changes and Modifications: Any requests for changes after the final approval may incur additional fees and are subject to the artist's discretion.
4. Damaged or Defective Artwork
- Reporting Damages: If your artwork arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order. Provide photos of the damaged artwork and packaging for our review.
- Resolution: Depending on the situation, we may offer a replacement, repair, or store credit if the artwork is damaged during shipping. This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
5. Final Sale Items
- No Returns or Exchanges: All items marked as final sale are not eligible for returns, exchanges, or refunds.
Haven Art Gallery reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. For any questions or further assistance, please contact us at kimberly@kimberlymarnell.com or
This version clearly outlines the policy for commissioned work, emphasizing that such pieces are custom-made and non-returnable.
