5.- Delivery
– Methods and place of delivery
The paintings will be sent to the address indicated by the customer during the order process.
All our deliveries are notified to the collector by e-mail and will be made by the delivery means of the carrier.
The delivery time for immediately available works is set at a maximum of ten (10) calendar days from the confirmation of the order, for European Union countries.
The delivery time for non-EU countries where the expatriation documentation for Contemporary Works of Art issued by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage is required, will start from the effective availability of the expatriation documentation by the author, to which 5 working days may be added to those already established.
The deadline for the execution of new works will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will be stated in the information relating to the description of the work, or in the specific agreement between the author and the client.
The works in the catalogue can be produced in other sizes or colours, and other designs proposed by the client can be tackled. Although a work may be recreated, it maintains its unique and exclusive character, since it is made by hand, and is never a faithful copy of the reference model. It will always depend on the express approval of the client, who will previously receive photographs of the finished work, for its acceptance, modification or rejection.
The request for a new work will be made by prior agreement where measures, design, colours, or indication of a reference work from the catalogue are specified, after which the client will pay the total value of the work. If the client does not approve of the new work, the payment will be refunded in full, without the author retaining any cost whatsoever.

– Precautions to be taken by the client at the time of delivery.
The transported works are insured until the moment of delivery, and their packaging meets all the security guarantees for the transport of works of art. However, it is up to the addressee to check that the package is in good condition on receipt and to notice any signs of damage that may have damaged the painting and to inform the carrier immediately. He may even refuse the package if it shows signs of having been opened or if it shows clear signs of deterioration. It must also inform the author of this immediately.
If the products delivered do not conform in nature or quality to those indicated in the order dispatch email, the customer may return the works. He/she may also return the work without justification, within 14 days of receipt.

6.- Legislation and Jurisdiction
These General Terms and Conditions shall be executed and interpreted in accordance with Italian law, to which the parties expressly submit. Any dispute that may arise from their validity, interpretation or execution shall be submitted to the Courts of the author’s place of residence, to which exclusive and express jurisdiction is expressly conferred.
