These Terms of Use and Terms of Sale (“Terms”) govern your use of this website and any purchases made from it. This website is owned and operated by [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME], trading as [BUSINESS NAME] (“we,” “us,” “the artist,” or “our”). By accessing this website, using its services, or purchasing from it, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use this website.

WEBSITE USE

By using this website, you agree to do so only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit the use of this website by any other person. You may not misuse this website, attempt to gain unauthorized access to it, interfere with its security or functionality, or use it in any manner that could damage the website, its content, or its reputation. This website is built and hosted on Squarespace, and certain services, such as checkout, payment processing, analytics, and email marketing, may be supported by Squarespace or connected third-party providers, depending on the site's current configuration.

PRODUCTS & AVAILABILITY

We make every reasonable effort to ensure that all artworks, prints, products, services, descriptions, dimensions, pricing, and availability displayed on the website are accurate and up to date. However, we do not guarantee that all content is always complete, current, or error-free. Because original artworks and handmade works are often unique, availability may change without notice. We reserve the right to update, modify, discontinue, or remove products or services at any time. Prices may be changed at any time without prior notice. Shipping costs, taxes, import duties, or other applicable charges are not included unless explicitly stated. For international orders, customs duties, import taxes, and related charges may apply and remain the responsibility of the buyer.

PAYMENTS & ORDERS

We offer secure checkout through the payment methods enabled on this website. Depending on the website owner’s configuration and region, available options may include credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Afterpay, iDEAL, SEPA, and other payment methods supported by Squarespace Payments or connected payment processors. Squarespace states that Squarespace Payments is available for commercial use and may integrate multiple payment methods depending on setup and region. Payment must be received in full before any order is shipped, delivered, or otherwise fulfilled, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. Once an order is placed, you will receive an order confirmation if the checkout process has been completed successfully. This confirmation does not necessarily mean that the order has been irrevocably accepted. We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or limit any order at our discretion, including in cases of pricing errors, product unavailability, suspected fraud, or breach of these Terms. If an order is canceled after payment has been made, any amount due to be refunded will be returned using the original payment method, where possible.

SHIPPING POLICY

Artworks and other products typically require a preparation period of [1–5] business days before shipment, unless stated otherwise. Delivery times are added to this preparation period and vary depending on destination, shipping method, customs procedures, and carrier performance. In most cases, delivery may take between [1–15] business days, but this timeframe is only an estimate and is not guaranteed. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout unless stated otherwise. The buyer is responsible for providing accurate shipping information. We are not responsible for delays, failed deliveries, or additional costs resulting from incorrect shipping details provided by the buyer. International shipments may be subject to customs inspections, import duties, VAT, taxes, or handling fees, which remain the sole responsibility of the buyer. Risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer upon delivery, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

RETURNS & REFUND POLICY

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may request a return or refund within [10] days of delivery, provided the work is returned in its original condition and packaging. To be eligible for a refund, the item must be returned in the same condition in which it arrived, the original box and protective materials should be used where possible, the item must not be damaged through mishandling, improper storage, or insufficient return packaging, and return shipping costs are borne by the buyer unless otherwise agreed in writing. If the returned item arrives damaged due to inadequate packaging or improper care during return shipment, we reserve the right to refuse the refund in full or in part. Refunds are processed after the returned item has been received and inspected.

TERMS OF SALE

Physical ownership of the artwork transfers to the buyer upon full payment, but all copyright, image rights, and other intellectual property rights remain with the artist unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. The buyer acquires ownership of the physical object only and does not acquire any right to reproduce, publish, license, distribute, alter, scan, digitize, tokenize, commercially exploit, or create derivative works based on the artwork or its image without prior written permission. Copyright protection generally applies to original works that are the result of creative activity and have concrete form; Belgian public guidance confirms that copyright protects the expression of a work rather than the underlying idea. All images, artworks, photographs, digital renderings, mockups, installation views, and other visual materials displayed on this website remain the intellectual property of the artist or respective rights holder, unless stated otherwise. These materials may not be copied, downloaded, reproduced, screenshot, stored, published, transmitted, distributed, altered, re-rendered, used for AI training, used to generate synthetic variations, used commercially, or incorporated into derivative works without prior written permission. The buyer agrees to exercise reasonable care in preserving and protecting the artwork after delivery. We are not responsible for damage, deterioration, or loss occurring after the transfer of risk, except where mandatory law provides otherwise. The buyer may display the artwork privately. Any public exhibition, institutional loan, or commercial display should be communicated in advance to the artist where possible, especially for documentation and archival purposes. If the buyer later sells or otherwise transfers the artwork, we would appreciate being informed where possible for archival and provenance purposes. Where legally permitted, we may request basic details of the transfer and the identity of the new owner, but unless mandatory law or a separate written agreement provides otherwise, this is not a condition of ownership.

ACCURACY OF WEBSITE CONTENT

We strive to present artworks and products as accurately as possible. However, colors, textures, scale, and details may appear differently depending on screens, monitors, lighting conditions, photography, and device settings. Minor variations between the digital presentation and the physical work do not, in themselves, constitute a defect.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless stated otherwise, all text, images, logos, branding, graphics, layouts, product descriptions, website design elements, and other content on this website are protected by copyright, trademark, image rights, and other applicable intellectual property laws. No part of the website may be copied, republished, mirrored, scraped, modified, translated, distributed, or commercially exploited without prior written permission.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

This website may use third-party tools or integrations, including, but not limited to, Squarespace, payment processors, shipping providers, Squarespace Email Campaigns, Google Analytics, and Meta Pixel, depending on the site's current configuration. Squarespace documents that site owners may use commerce policies, privacy notices, and related disclosures for checkout and site operation, and that connected services may support payments, analytics, and email campaigns. We are not responsible for the independent policies, uptime, or security of third-party services. Your use of those services may also be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

LIABILITY & INDEMNITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the website or your purchase of products from it. You agree not to use this website in a way that causes harm to us, our business, our reputation, or other users. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising out of your misuse of the website or your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law. Your use of this website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal data is collected, used, and stored.

CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. The most current version will always be posted on this page with the updated date above. Continued use of the website after changes have been posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
