ORDER CANCELLATION
Orders can be cancelled under certain circumstances only. I would like to take this opportunity to explain the positioning of these clauses. We have a duty towards our customers but we also have a responsibility towards the well being of our artists. Our paintings, unlike other websites, are 100% handmade from natural materials found in the nature. The artist takes time to learn the design and then the whole process of creating the painting with the framing takes roughly 20-25 days. I hope you understand our reasoning to add the clauses when an order is cancelled.
Order can be cancelled without any charges under following conditions
-
The artist has not begun the painting for that particular oder number.
-
There has been a double charge on the card and a duplicate order has been placed
-
If there has been a delay in the starting of the painting process on the part of Artraditions and the duration of that delay has exceeded 45 days.
Order Cancellation not satisfying above criteria
Orders not satisfying above criteria will be subject to different cancellation fees depending on the stage of the painting.
-
20% cancellation fee: If the customer cancels an order while the artist is in the process of painting for that particular then a 20% fee will be charged for cancellation.
-
50% cancellation fee: If the customer cancels an order when the painting and framing has been completed and the order is ready to ship, then a 50% cancellation fee will be charged.
I want to reiterate that the cancellation fee is to compensate our artists and frame manufacturers for their effort. It takes lot of work in producing one painting and we are trying to revive this industry in a modern way. Unlike other print on demand painting stores, we provide 100% organic handmade artwork. We hope you understand the reasons behind the cancellation fees.
