TERMS FOR BUYERS
1. We provide a platform for Buyers to complete transactions for the purchase of Artwork from Owners in accordance with the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions.
2. Accordingly, our role is to facilitate transactions between Buyers and Owners through provision of the Website. We are not an auctioneer nor are we an agent of the Buyer or Owner and we have no continuing authority to negotiate, deal with, manage, conduct or conclude any sale or purchase on behalf of the Buyer or the Owner.
3. All prices for Artwork listed for sale via the Service shall be stated inclusive of VAT.
4. We do not have possession of anything listed or sold through the Website, and are not involved in, and bear no responsibility for, the actual transaction between Buyers and Owners. The contract for the sale is directly between the Buyer and Owner (“Contract”) and we shall have no liability under it.
5. Please be aware that:
  1. the Buyer has certain legal rights in relation to Artwork purchased that is faulty or not as describe and advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these General Terms and Conditions will affect these legal rights; and
  2. if the Buyer is a consumer, the Buyer will have certain rights which may apply in respect of any transaction between the Buyer and the Owner. Compliance with these rights is the sole responsibility of the Owner.
6. While we may provide relevant information from the Owner as part of the Service (e.g. pricing, postage etc), such information is for information only.
7. We have no control over, and are not in any way responsible for, the existence, quality, safety or legality of the Artworks advertised.
8. The responsibility for compliance and enforcement of all obligations under the Contract between the Buyer and the Owner is between those parties.
9. When Buyers pay for Artwork over the Website, we use Stripe Payments UK Ltd (“Stripe”) to process your payment. Stripe operates a secure server to process your payment details. They encrypt your credit or debit card information and authorise payment directly. For further information, please see our Privacy Policy. Payment for Artwork shall be taken in advance.

11. If you wish to return, or request a refund for, any Artwork purchased through the Website, please contact the Owner directly to let them know that you wish to cancel your order and/or return the Artwork, in accordance with the Owner’s terms and conditions from time to time. As the Owner’s payment agent, we will process any refund to which you are entitled directly, via the payment method used to purchase the Artwork, in no more than:
  1. 14 days after the day the returned Artwork is received by the Owner and we are notified by the Owner of such return;
  2. if earlier, 14 days after the date you provide evidence that you have returned the Artwork to the Owner and receipt of such evidence is notified to us by the Owner; or
  3. if there was no Artwork supplied, 14 days after the day on which you informed the Owner (in accordance with paragraph 5.9, above) about your decision to cancel your order and we were notified by the Owner of such decision.
12. Should a dispute arise between a Buyer and Owner they should use their best efforts to resolve that dispute between them and all complaints and queries with respect to a transaction should be directed to the other party involved.
13. We may (but shall have no obligation to) mediate between the parties to the Contract or to enforce the Contract. If you are unable to resolve you dispute with a Buyer, please contact us by email at info@southlondonartmap.com.
