ORIGINAL PURCHASE POLICY
High-Value Transactions & Reservation Deposits
For any original artwork with a purchase price exceeding US$50,000, the following additional terms apply:
-
The Reservation Deposit: To secure the artwork, the Buyer must complete a non-refundable "Reservation Deposit" (as specified on the product page - US$50,000) via the website checkout. This deposit serves as a formal commitment to purchase and removes the artwork from public sale.
-
Balance of Payment: The remaining balance of the total purchase price must be paid via Bank Wire Transfer or ACH within forty-eight (48) hours of the deposit confirmation.
-
Forfeiture & Cancellation: If the artist does not receive a wire confirmation or proof of initiation within the 48-hour window, the artist reserves the right to cancel the transaction. In such an event, the Reservation Deposit will be retained as a liquidated damages fee to cover the loss of opportunity and administrative costs, and the artwork will be offered to the next collector in the priority queue.
-
Identity Verification: For transactions over US$50,000, the Buyer may be required to provide government-issued identification or "Know Your Customer" (KYC) documentation prior to the finalisation of the Bill of Sale to comply with international art market regulations.
______
All purchases of original artwork made through this website are subject to the execution of a separate written contract of sale between the artist and the purchaser, and these terms form part of and reflect the ownership and intellectual property provisions of that contract.
Ownership of any original artwork transfers to the buyer only upon full payment. Ownership is strictly limited to the physical artwork.
All intellectual property rights, including copyright, moral rights, reproduction, licensing, and derivative rights, remain exclusively with the artist. The buyer may not reproduce, distribute, publish, license, or commercially photograph the artwork, or create derivative works, without the artist’s prior written consent.
Risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer once the artwork leaves the artist’s possession. Insurance following dispatch is the buyer’s responsibility.
The artwork may not be sold, transferred, consigned, auctioned, lent, or otherwise disposed of without the artist’s prior written consent. Any approved transferee must agree to be bound by these terms. Any unauthorized transfer is void.
Each artwork may be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, which must remain with the artwork in the event of approved resale or transfer.
The buyer agrees to properly care for and preserve the artwork in accordance with professional conservation standards.
Any breach of this section constitutes a material breach of these Terms & Conditions. The artist reserves all legal and equitable remedies.
