Refund & Returns Policy
Effective Date: 26th July, 2025
Summary
No refunds are provided after payment has been made and work has begun.
- Clients are offered multiple opportunities for feedback and revision during the artwork process.
- In line with Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to a refund or replacement only if the item is significantly different from what was agreed, is damaged, or is not delivered.
Detailed Policy
1. Custom-Made Artwork
All artwork is custom-made and created based on the details, references, and specifications provided by the client. For this reason, we do not offer refunds or exchanges for:
- Change of mind
- Subjective dissatisfaction after final approval
- Delays due to client non-responsiveness during review stages
2. Revision Opportunities
Clients are provided with three Check-In Stages to review and request reasonable changes:
Stage 1: Pencil Sketch Review
Stage 2: Watercolour Layer Review
Stage 3: Final Details Review
Clients must provide feedback within the designated timeframes. Missed Check-In opportunities will be considered approval to proceed to the next stage.
3. Damage or Loss During Delivery
If your artwork arrives damaged or lost in transit, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and include:
- Photographs of the damage
- Your order number
- The packaging (if applicable)
We will work with you to resolve the issue, which may include a partial refund, store credit, or re-creation depending on the situation.
4. Cancellations
If you cancel before work begins (before both payment and signed agreement), a full refund will be issued.
If you cancel after work has commenced, no refund will be issued, as per Section H of the Art Commission Agreement.
5. Consumer Guarantees (Australian Consumer Law)
This policy is in accordance with your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a remedy if a product is faulty, not as described, or not delivered with reasonable care and skill.
