Informativa sui rimborsi

Hedonism Gallery — Refund & Return Policy

1. General Terms

• All acquisitions made through our gallery are considered final.
• Every item is described accurately, with supporting documentation where applicable.
• We encourage collectors to review all descriptions, photographs, and documentation before purchase.


2. Condition and Integrity Guarantee

• We guarantee the integrity of each item.
• If an item arrives damaged or materially misdescribed, we will arrange an appropriate resolution — repair, replacement (if possible), or refund.
• Claims for damage or misdescription must be submitted in writing within 5 days of receipt, with photographic evidence.


3. Original Works (Unique Artworks)

• Original, one-of-a-kind works of art cannot be returned except in cases of damage or misrepresentation.
• These works are unique, and any return for other reasons would result in permanent loss of value.


4. Lithographs and Lifetime Licensed Prints

• Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is issued upon buyer request at the time of sale.
• Returns are accepted only if the buyer requested a COA and returns the work with the COA and all original documentation in the same condition as delivered.
• If COA was not requested, the item may only be returned in cases of damage or misrepresentation.
• All returns must be shipped fully insured via a carrier approved by the gallery.
• The gallery reserves the right to refuse refunds for items returned in altered or damaged condition, or without required documentation.


5. Posthumous Works and Posters

• Posthumous works (e.g., posters created after the artist’s death) are sold as officially licensed reproductions.
• Returns are accepted only if the item arrived damaged or materially misdescribed.
• Returns “just because” the buyer changed their mind are not accepted.


6. Collectible Items (Toys, Figures, Limited Edition Books, etc.)

• Collectible items are eligible for return only if returned unopened, factory-sealed, with all original packaging and accessories intact.
• If the box, shrink-wrap, tamper-evident seal, or packaging has been opened or shows signs of tampering, the item is not eligible for a refund, except in cases of damage or misdescription.
• Returns must be initiated within 14 days of receipt, with written notice and photographic evidence of the received item.
• All returns must be fully insured with tracking and signature. Return shipping is the buyer’s responsibility unless the item was damaged or misdescribed.


7. Antique and Rare Books (100+ Years, Catalogues-Raisonnés, Non-Limited Editions)

• Due to their historical and collectible nature, antique and rare books cannot be returned except in cases of damage during shipment or material misdescription.
• Buyers are strongly encouraged to review all photographs, descriptions, and condition notes prior to purchase.
• Claims must be submitted within 5 days of receipt, with photographic evidence.
• Returns must be fully insured and arranged with gallery approval. Refunds are issued only after verification of the claim.


8. Unclaimed, Refused, or Undeliverable Shipments

• If a shipment is not collected, refused, or returned due to inaccurate delivery info, unpaid customs, or buyer’s failure to complete collection, the order is considered abandoned.
No refund will be issued in such cases.
• Reshipment requires prepayment of all additional shipping, customs, and administrative costs.


9. European Union — 14-Day Right of Withdrawal

• For EU deliveries, statutory 14-day withdrawal rights apply only to eligible items, primarily lithographs and lifetime licensed prints where COA was requested.
• Returned items must remain in pristine condition with documentation, and shipped fully insured at the collector’s expense.
• Failure to collect or accept delivery does not constitute valid exercise of withdrawal rights.
• Refunds under this right exclude shipping, insurance, and customs costs.


10. Shipping, Insurance, and Risk

• The gallery is not responsible for delays, non-delivery, or loss due to circumstances beyond our control (customs, carrier, force majeure).
• Risk passes to the buyer once the item is handed to the carrier in good condition, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
