Terms and Conditions
10 Day Ordering Money Back Guarantee
Customers have a 10 day money back guarantee upon ordering their portrait. As long as customers request a refund within the 10 days they will receive a full refund.
Cancellation after 10 days - before artwork begins
If you wish to cancel your order after the 10 days, please notify us as soon as possible. Booking Deposits are Non-Refundable. There is an additional charge of 10% of the total portrait fee that is made to cover shopping cart fees, administration, mockups and emails. The credit / debit card the customer made payment with will be refunded, minus the fee. Refunds cannot be made to another person or credit / debit card.
Cancellation Once Creation Process has started
If you wish to cancel once the portrait has already been started, there will be a cancellation fee of 50% of the total cost of the portrait during the first 30 days of creation after the artist is more than 30 days into creation the fee is 60%. By this point in the process I have expended many, many hours of labor and energy to create your portrait.
Rejection of Portrait Once Approved and shipped to customer
On receiving an approved portrait, you have a period of 10 days to contact us about any changes required to the portrait. If the portrait needs to be returned for alterations the customer must meet the costs of shipping back to us and for the portrait to shipped again.
Once the alterations are made a new scan/photo of the artwork is sent for approval. If after the changes have been made, the customer is still not happy and would like a refund there will be a cancellation fee of 60% of the total cost of the portrait.
If a customer receives an approved portrait and wishes to have a refund but declines the opportunity for us to make changes, a refund will only be made once the customer has returned the portrait to us in its original condition, in original packaging within 10 days. We will then complete the refund - there will be a cancellation fee of 60% of the total cost of the portrait. We cannot refund framing, prints or shipping costs.
The credit / debit card the customer made payment with will be refunded, minus the fee. Refunds cannot be made to another person or credit / debit card.
