Cancellations

Orders must be cancelled within 24 hours before they are in transit for delivery through the contact form   or by email michelleharton@yahoo.co.uk

Returns

I want you to be fully happy with your new artwork so if a painting is not as you expect, you have 14 days to contact me by email and request a refund. Once a return has been agreed, you are responsible for packing the painting securely and the cost of return delivery. Once the piece has been safely returned and the painting is in exactly the same condition it left the studio you will receive your refund.

All work is very carefully packaged to arrive with you safely. If you receive an artwork that has been damaged in transit, please contact me within 7 days with a photograph of the damage.

Customs Duties

Orders that are shipped to countries outside the Europe Union may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment subject to such import taxes, customs duties, and fees (which are levied once a shipment reaches your country) must comply with them and I cannot be held liable whatsoever. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient. I have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary from country to country, so please contact your local customs office for further information. When customs clearance procedures are required, unfortunately it can cause delays beyond my original delivery estimates.
