1.3 Contacting us if you are a consumer:

(a) To cancel a Contract in accordance with your legal right to do so as set out in clause 9, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. We have appointed CTA as our intermediary to deal with cancellations on our behalf, and therefore the easiest way for you to let us know that wish to cancel is to complete the cancellation form on the site. A link to the website cancellation form will be included in the Dispatch Confirmation. If you use this method, CTA will email you to confirm that they have received your cancellation on our behalf. You can also contact CTA direct using any of the contact details shown on the site or email them at contact@ideelart.com. Please include details of your order to help CTA to identify it. If you send your cancellation notice by email or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send the email or post the letter.

(c) Should you wish to contact us directly, please use the contact details shown on our specific artist page on the site or on the invoice that you received with your order.

(d) If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by email or by pre-paid post to the address you provide to us in your order.

7.2 After you place an order, you will receive an email acknowledging that your order has been received. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your order will take place as described in clause 7.3.

7.3 We will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Artwork has been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

7.4 If we are unable to supply you with an Artwork, for example because that Artwork is no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on the site as referred to in clause 12.5, we will inform you of this by email, and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Artwork, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Artwork(s), or just the Artwork(s) you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Artwork(s) you have already received, and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

9. YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND

This clause 9 only applies if you are a consumer.

9.1 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. The period during which you can do this is set out below in clause 9.3. 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 via CTA, and receive a refund.

9.2 However, please note that this cancellation right does not apply in the case of any Artwork made to your specific requirements, or which was specially commissioned by you, personalized, or is otherwise bespoke.

9.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order), 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 is for a single Artwork (which is not delivered in installments on separate days):

The end date is the end of 30 days after the day on which you receive the Artwork.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Artwork on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 9 February.

Your Contract is for either of the following:

one Artwork which is delivered in installments on separate days.
multiple Artworks which are delivered on separate days.

The end date is 30 days after the day on which you receive the last installment of the Artwork or the last of the separate Artworks ordered.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first installment of your Artwork or the first of your separate Artworks on 10 January and the last installment or last separate Artwork on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all installments and any or all of the separate Artworks at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 14 February.

Your Contract is for the regular delivery of an Artwork over a set period:

The end date is 30 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Artworks.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Artworks to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Artwork on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 9 February. 9 February is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Artworks to arrive during the year.

9.4 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. We have appointed CTA as our intermediary to deal with cancellations on our behalf, and therefore the easiest way to notify us of a cancellation is to complete the cancellation form on the site. A link to the website cancellation form will be included in the Dispatch Confirmation. If you use this method, CTA will email you on our behalf to confirm that your cancellation has been received. Alternatively you may use a copy of the form which is attached at the back of these Terms as a schedule.

You can also contact us via CTA to let us know using any of the contact details for CTA shown on the site or by emailing CTA at Sales@wellergalleries.com. If you are emailing or writing, please include details of your order to help CTA to identify it. If you send your cancellation notice by email or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send the email or post the letter. For example, you will have given notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or email before midnight on that day.

Should you wish to contact us directly for any reason, you can do so using the contact details shown on our specific artist page on the site.

9.5 If you cancel your Contract we will:

(a) arrange for CTA to refund you the price you paid for the Artwork. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Artwork, if this has been caused by your handling it in a way which would not be permitted in a gallery. See the FAQ page on the site for information about what handling is acceptable. If you receive a refund of the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods, and we later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

(b) refund any delivery costs you may have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of an Artwork within 3-5 days at one cost, but you choose to have the Artwork delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

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 or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Artwork back to us. For information about how to return an Artwork to us, see clause 9.8;
if you have not received the Artwork or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

9.6 If you have returned an Artwork to us under this clause 9 because it is faulty or mis-described, we will arrange for CTA to refund the price of the Artwork in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the Artwork to us.

9.7 CTA will refund you by the method used by you to pay via the site.

9.8 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 7 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. You can either send it back, or hand it to CTA’s authorized carrier. Please see the Return and Refund page on the site for our returns address and information about our authorized carrier and how to arrange a return. If we have offered to collect the Artwork from you as advised in our response to your cancellation, we will collect the Artwork from the address to which it was delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection;

(b) unless the Artwork is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 9.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Artwork 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. Our delivery costs are detailed in the Shipping, Insurance and Tax section our FAQ. If we have offered to collect the Artwork from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.

9.9 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply an Artwork that is in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to any Artwork that is faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 9, or anything else in these Terms.

10. DELIVERY

10.1 We will provide you with an estimated delivery date in Dispatch Confirmation, which will be within 30 days after the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order). Delivery usually takes place within one week of the Dispatch Confirmation, although this cannot be guaranteed. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 16 for our responsibilities when this happens.

10.2 Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the Artwork to the address you gave us and the Artwork will be your responsibility from that time.

10.3 You own the Artwork once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.
This clause 10.4 only applies if you are a consumer.

10.4 If we miss the 30 day delivery deadline for an Artwork then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:

(a) we have refused to deliver the Artwork;

(b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

10.5 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 10.4, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.

10.6 If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under clause 10.5 or clause 10.6, you can do so for just some of the Artworks or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Artworks have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Artworks and their delivery.

11. INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

11.2 If you wish us to deliver Artworks outside our Delivery Destinations, please contact us prior to placing your order, as we may be able to assist you.

11.3 If you order Artworks from our site from an artist based outside of the country where the artwork is delivered, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges. However, they can be estimated on Dutycalculator.com

11.4 You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

11.5 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Artworks are destined. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, it is your responsibility to satisfy yourself that the Artwork can lawfully be imported (for example, the laws of some countries may restrict what types of artwork can be lawfully imported). We will not be liable or responsible if you break any laws or regulations.

12. PRICE OF ARTWORKS AND DELIVERY CHARGES

12.1 The prices of the Artworks will be as quoted on the site at the time you submit your order. All reasonable care is taken to ensure that the prices of Artworks are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see clause 12.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Artwork(s) you ordered.

12.2 Prices for our Artworks may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

12.5 The site contains a large number of Artworks. It is always possible that, despite all reasonable efforts being made, some of the Artworks on the site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:

(a) where the Artwork’s correct price is less than the price stated on the site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Artwork to you; and

(b) if the Artwork’s correct price is higher than the price stated on the site, we will contact you in writing as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Artwork at the correct price or cancelling your order. 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.
