With this in mind, we advise you to read our terms and conditions carefully as stated below, before you place your order. We want you to be a happy and returning customer of Big Canvas Art!

By using the website and placing an order the Buyer (referred to as “you” in these Buyer Terms and Conditions) are in agreement of with our terms and conditions and therefore have entered a legally binding agreement with Big Canvas Art (referred to as “we” “our” “us” or “the art team” in these Buyer Terms and Conditions.)

 

1. DEFINITIONS

The Website User Terms and Conditions form part of these Buyer Terms and Conditions. For your ease we have included the definitions within these Buyer Terms and Conditions.

 

(1.1) “Artist” means Louise Williamson who is the artist and owner of Big Canvas Art.

 

(1.2) “Artwork” means the pieces of art/artwork products which a Buyer agrees to buy from the Artist, including commissions and bespoke work/s, as described on the Website.

 

(1.3) “Buyer” means the person and/or organisation who uses the website/social media/contacts Big Canvas Art and may buy Artwork.

 

(1.4) “Commissions” or “bespoke” is Artwork supplied according to the Buyer’s requirements so the Buyer may choose, for example, a colour scheme or certain textures. However, the Buyer must bear in mind that Artwork is a personal choice and must be clear if the Buyer has any specific requirements. Unless otherwise agreed, commissions and bespoke work are to be paid in advance.

 

(1.5) “Made to Order or bespoke'” is Artwork which is created for the Buyer based on an original piece of artwork which the Buyer has enquired about. The work will be similar to the original but will have variations in the design and colour, as no two bespoke paintings will be exactly the same in appearance. Made to Order Artwork will not be an exact replica of the original. Printed artwork will be a very similar version of the original and almost identical to what you see on screen; occasionally there is minimal variation in colour due to how the screen alters the image, this must be taken into consideration at time of purchase.

(2.4) FAULTS, PROBLEMS WITH YOUR ORDER AND RETURNS. As all of our Artwork is painted by hand and produced in low volumes throughout the calendar year, allowing us to ensure that each sold piece before leaving our building is carefully checked for any imperfections/damage to ensure it meets our high standards before it is lovingly and securely packaged ready for shipping and therefore should not require a refund or return. However, in the unusual event of the wrong Artwork arriving or if you have any Artwork delivered from us which is faulty or part-missing, then we ask that you contact us directly using the “contact” information available on the Website or email us at louise@bigcanvasart.co.uk within 7 days after the day you received the Artwork. We will do our best to help with any issue of this nature and may provide exchanges in the highly unlikely event that the artwork is faulty. If you decide you no longer want the artwork, unfortunately we cannot give refunds for either the advertised pieces as promoted on the website or for orders to your specified size and frame choice and therefore cannot be resold. In certain circumstances, refunds within the 14 day period after delivery may be made at our sole discretion using the same payment method that you used to pay us however this is not guaranteed. Please bear in mind that some payment methods mean that a refund may take a while to reach your account.
