ANNABEL MURPHY ART TERMS & CONDITIONS

These terms may have changed since you last reviewed them. Please read them carefully before going ahead with your order.

Where to find information about us and the art works we sell. You can find everything you need to know about us, Annabel Murphy Art, and the art works we sell on our website before you order. We also confirm the key information to you in writing after you order, either by email or on paper.

We only accept orders when we've checked them. We contact you to confirm we've received your order and we accept your order when we dispatch or supply the product to you. 

Sometimes we reject orders. Sometimes we reject orders, for example, because a product is unexpectedly out of stock, because a credit reference we have obtained is unsatisfactory, because you are located outside our delivery areas, as stated on our website or because the product was mispriced by us. When this happens, we let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.

We charge you when you order. However, for some orders we may take payment at regular intervals, as explained to you during the order process. You will own a work once we have received payment in full. 

We charge interest on late payments. If we're unable to collect any payment you owe us we charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. This interest accrues on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You pay us the interest together with any overdue amount. 

We may charge VAT and may pass on any increases. If we charge VAT, this is clearly stated when you place an order. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the art work, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

We're not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of your art work is delayed by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won't compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantial you can call us on 07771 551677 or email us at annabeljmurphy@gmail.com to end the contract and receive a refund for any works you have paid for in advance, but not received, less reasonable costs we have already incurred. 

Art works may have imperfections or vary slightly from their pictures. The art works we sell are often vintage works that have previously been owned by others and have been subject to usual wear and tear. We always aim to provide an accurate description on our website, including photographs, but these works are likely to have imperfections, which often add to their appeal.

Please check the photographs and written description of an art work carefully to make sure you are happy with its condition, and ask us if you have any questions before you place an order. If you return an art work, we are not able to refund the delivery or return costs. Please be aware that the true colours of an art work may not exactly match what is shown on your device or in our marketing or its packaging may be slightly different.

Please note that we do not usually arrange for art works to be professionally cleaned. If we do so, we will mention this is in the description. Otherwise, we may simply dust art works lightly before sale.

We are not responsible for original frames or fixings. If we consider the frames or wire and fixings of an art work we acquire are not satisfactory, we may replace them before making the work available for sale. We will indicate in the description and pictures of an art work whether we have done so. Please check the description and pictures carefully before placing an order. If we offer an art work for sale without having changed the frame or wire and fixings, the frame or wire and fixings are provided ‘as is’ without any assurances as to quality or origin, and we strongly recommend you check their condition and consider replacing them where appropriate.

We do not guarantee authenticity. We carefully select the art works we sell based on the attributes of the works themselves, such as composition or colours. We cannot guarantee that any date or signature on any art work we sell is genuine or that the art work is otherwise authentic.

You're responsible for making sure your order is suitable for your requirements. You are responsible for ensuring you are happy that all your order details are correct and suitable for your requirements, including any dimensions or other measurements, particular art work features and delivery details.​

If you bought online, over the telephone or on your doorstep, you have a legal right to change your mind. For most of our art works bought online or over the telephone, you have a legal right to change your mind about your purchase within 14 days from purchase, and to receive a refund of what you paid for it, including the delivery costs. However, you would need to pay the costs of safe return to us, and this right is subject to some conditions, as set out below.

When you can't change your mind. You can't change your mind about an order for goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised.

The deadline for changing your mind. If you change your mind about a purchase you must let us know no later than 14 days after the day we deliver your art work. If you order several art works for which delivery is split into several deliveries over different days, the period runs from the day after the last delivery. 

How to let us know. To let us know you want to change your mind, call us on 07771 551677, or email us at annabeljmurphy@gmail.com 

You have to return the product at your own cost. You have to return your purchase to us within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind. Returns are at your own cost. 

You can send the art work back to us, using an appropriate delivery service. If you do this you should keep a receipt or other evidence from the delivery service that proves you have sent it and when you sent it. If you don’t do this and we don’t receive the goods at all or within a reasonable time we won't refund you the price. For help with returns, including our collection arrangements for goods which can't be posted, see Shipping & Returns for our returns process: or call us on 07771 551677 or email us at annabeljmurphy@gmail.com. 

We only refund standard delivery costs. We don't refund any extra you have paid for express delivery or delivery at a particular time.

We reduce your refund if you have used or damaged an art work. If you handle the art work in a way which reduces its sale value, we reduce your refund, to compensate us for its reduced value. If you would like to understand whether we're likely to reduce your refund, you can call us on 07771 551677, or email us at annabeljmurphy@gmail.com.

When and how we refund you. If you purchased an art work that hasn't been delivered or that we're collecting from you, we refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you've changed your mind. If you're sending an art work back to us, we refund you within 14 days of receiving them back from you (or receiving evidence you've sent them to us). We refund you by the method you used for payment. We don't charge a fee for the refund.

You have rights if there is something wrong with your purchase. If you think there is something wrong with the item you have purchased, you must contact us by calling us on 07771 551677 or emailing us at annabeljmurphy@gmail.com. We honour our legal duty to provide you with art works that are as described to you on our website and that meet all the requirements imposed by law. 

We can change the selection of art works we offer and these terms. We are always seeking to provide an appropriate range of art works to meet our customers’ wishes. We may remove or add works to the selection we offer at any time. We may also amend these terms from time to time. Every time you wish to place an order, please check these terms to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.

We can end our contract with you. We can end our contract with you for a purchase and claim any compensation due to us if:

  • you don't make any payment to us when it's due and you still don't make payment within 14 days of our reminding you that payment is due;

  • you don't, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information, cooperation or access that we need to provide the art work, for example, concerning dimensions or any specific arrangements for delivery;

  • you don't, within a reasonable time, either allow us to deliver the product to you or collect it from us.

We don't compensate you for all losses caused by us or the art works we sell. We're responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking this contract unless the loss is:

  • Unexpected. It was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).

  • Caused by a delaying event outside our control. As long as we have taken the steps set out in the section We're not responsible for delays outside our control. 

  • Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action. 

  • A business loss. It relates to your use of a product for the purposes of your trade, business, craft or profession.

We use your personal data as set out in our Privacy Policy. How we use any personal data you give us is set out in our Privacy Policy.

We will try to resolve any disputes amicably. We value your business and will do our best to resolve any problems you have with us or any purchase you make amicably. If you have a concern, please contact us in the first instance by calling us on 07771551677 or emailing us at annabeljmurphy@gmail.com.

If we cannot agree on a resolution with you, then these terms are governed by English law and wherever you live you can bring claims against us in the English courts. If you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. We can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in.

We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your art work. We'll contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you're unhappy with the transfer you can call us on 07771 551677 or email us at annabeljmurphy@gmail.com to end the contract within 7 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you've made in advance for any art works not provided.

You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this. We may not agree to this.  

Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.

If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.
