Terms and conditions of purchase from Sarah Cripps Art

All original paintings will be signed by me, Sarah Cripps, and accompanied by a note to authenticate your purchase.

When you buy an original painting, you will own the physical painting but I will retain the copyright of the digital image. I will be able to use the digital image for prints, greetings cards, publicity, advertising, merchandise etc. 

When you commission a painting, I will ask for a deposit to cover materials and initial planning work. The balance of the cost will be payable when the painting is finished. If you do not like the painting when it is finished, you do not have to purchase it but I will offer it for sale elsewhere. If and when it sells I will refund your deposit. If you ask me to paint from a photograph, you are confirming that you own the copyright of that image or that you have permission to use it for that purpose. I usually post photos of works in progress on social media - if you do not want this to happen for your commission, for example if it is a surprise gift for someone, please let me know.

Delivery costs are not included in the price unless specifically stated. If you would like a quote for delivery costs before deciding whether to purchase, please let me know. Items are usually sent by a ‘tracked and signed for’ service and I make every effort to avoid any issues with delivery. I cannot be held responsible or liable for any damage, misplacement, delay or loss caused in transit but I will try to help track the package and I will give you the information you need to seek compensation from the courier.

Prints will be produced from scans or photographs of my work and, although I will reproduce the image quality to the best of my ability, they are bought on a ‘sold as seen’ basis. 

When you buy any artwork or merchandise from me, I will add you to my mailing list for my monthly email newsletter. You can stop receiving this at any time by contacting me or by clicking the unsubscribe link on the newsletter.

I want you to enjoy your artwork! If you need any help or advice following your purchase, or if you have any problem or comments, please contact me and I will help as much as I can.
