BUYING AT NEW ARTS MARKET

PLACING AN ORDER

To make a purchase through the Site, you must accept these Terms and Conditions. By accepting the Terms and Conditions you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and agree that you have read and agreed to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

A purchase agreement is concluded only when we have confirmed your order. It is important you save any documentation we send you for any contacts with our customer service. You may cancel your order until it has been confirmed. If the order is cancelled, any payments you or credit card companies have made regarding the order will be refunded.

PRICES AND FEES

The prices indicated on the Site are inclusive of VAT, delivery and payment processing fees.

The customer is responsible for any possible additional fees arising from customs. Due to availability, some items may be necessary to be produced in the United Kingdom, and in this case, depending on the delivery address, there may be additional customs or tax-related charges, which are charged by the courier service and / or the national customs service.

PAYMENT

We accept only online payment methods at this time.

We partner with Stripe and PayPal to provide safe card payment processing.

Both service providers guard transactions with the most stringent levels of security in the electronic payment industry.

SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

We deliver to the countries in the European Union.

Shipping fees are included in the total price of our products.

We ship normally within 10 days of purchase. Times from purchase to shipping may vary.

We partner with many different courier services for delivery. The courier will be in touch with you once your order is nearing your designated point of delivery.

CANCELLATION OF AN ORDER AND RETURNS POLICY

For purchases made within the European Union (“EU”):

As an EU consumer, you have the right to cancel a purchase for any reason in accordance with the law on withdrawal (Consumer Protection Legislation; Kuluttajansuojalaki 6:13). Your right to cancel an order (withdrawal period) is valid for 14 days from the day you received the product.

Please note that returning the product to us without cancellation notice or leaving the product unclaimed from the point of delivery does not constitute a cancellation of the purchase contract. We reserve the right to charge all costs arising from unclaimed deliveries from you.

To be eligible for cancellation and refund, you will need to fill out and deliver to us a mandatory notice of cancellation and then return the product to us within the next 14 days from delivering the notice (Kuluttajansuojalaki 6:17).

Cancellation is cost free. You are responsible for any delivery or other fees relating to the returning of the product to us (for example postage and packaging). However, we are responsible for delivery fees in the case our originally delivered package was damaged (see “Defective products and warranty”). 

If you wish to cancel a purchase made through the Site, you should, before the withdrawal period has expired, contact our customer service in the manner specified here. You must present your full name, address, date of purchase, order number, invoice number, name of the item and signature in the cancellation notice.

If the product has been damaged during the transport back to us due to improper packaging, we reserve the right to deduct the costs for repairing the product partially or fully from the sum to be refunded. Further, if the product that is returned has been used against the duty to exercise proper care, we have the right to deduct the decrease in value partially or fully including any other costs.

Once you have cancelled your purchase, the amount you have paid for the product will be refunded to you. The amount to be repaid will be refunded within 14 days after the product has been returned to us. The refund will be done according to the payment method used for the order, unless otherwise agreed and provided that there are no obstacles for such refunding. You will not be affected by any fees or charges due to your choice of payment method. 

Please note that refunding is applicable only for intact goods (unless they have already been damaged when delivered) without any signs of use. The right of cancellation does not apply to goods produced according to customer specifications or otherwise have been clearly personalised, such as products ordered through our Printing and Framing Service.

The provisions set forth herein do not limit any applicable statutory rights.

DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND WARRANTY

Upon receiving goods from us, you should carefully examine the product to ensure it meets your expectations. You can make a complaint within two months after you have discovered any defects. 

On suspicion of shipping damage, please contact us on the day of receiving the shipment. Shipping charges are refunded for approved claims.

Our warranty covers goods that are defective according to applicable consumer protection legislation. You have a statutory right to make a complaint, and customers wishing to make complaint of a defective product should contact our customer service as soon as possible.

When we have received the defective product and your complaint has been accepted, we will compensate you in accordance with applicable consumer protection legislation. We reserve the right to deny a claim if we deem the product was not defective in accordance with said legislation.

Before delivery, you must provide pictures of the product and the package for us to determine the condition of the product.

For complaints made related to purchases in the EU, we follow guidelines from the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (Kilpailu- ja kuluttajavirasto) or equivalent councils in other European countries. See www.kkv.fi.

SELLER WITHDRAWAL

We may withdraw (cancel) your order at any time for any reason or for no reason, for example if we suspect the order to be in violation of these Terms and Conditions or if we suspect the order to be in any other way fraudulent. In this case any and all payments will be refunded according to the payment method used for the order.

VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS

Please note that although we take great care in trying to represent our products in the most objective way as possible, the visual representations of our products on the Site are for demonstration purposes only.
