Framed Art Shipping Terms and Conditions:
At The Portuguese Art Gallery, we take great care to ensure that your framed art is packaged securely and shipped safely. However, please note that shipping framed art may involve additional considerations and costs, which are outlined below:
1. Additional Shipping Costs: Shipping framed art requires special packaging and handling, which may result in additional shipping costs. We will provide an estimate of the additional shipping costs for your approval before finalizing your order.
2. Shipping Time: Please note that shipping framed art may take longer than unframed art pieces due to the additional packaging and handling required. We will provide an estimated shipping time for your approval before finalizing your order.
3. Liability: While we take every precaution to ensure that our framed art is packaged securely and shipped safely, we cannot be held liable for any injuries or damages that may occur during handling, unpacking, or hanging of the artwork. By purchasing and handling framed art from The Portuguese Art Gallery, you agree to assume all risks and liabilities associated with the artwork, and to take appropriate precautions to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
4. Shipping Availability: Due to existing logistical constraints related to the transportation of frames and glasses, we are currently restricting our framed art shipping services to in-person deliveries within the St. Louis area. Consequently, if you added framed artwork to your order, you may find that shipping options to your location are unavailable during the checkout process on our website. If shipping for framed artwork is inadvertently enabled, we reserve the right to cancel the order and will promptly notify you of such cancellation.
Custom Orders:
For custom orders, bespoke art pieces or custom framing, terms regarding pricing, lead times, revisions, and additional costs will be discussed separately and documented in a separate agreement.
