Return and Replacement Guidelines

Paintings - All original artwork is checked by Artoreal to ensure that it closely resembles the image. Therefore, we do not take returns for image variations. However, if the artwork reached the buyer in the damaged form, we expect the buyer to notify the courier company at the time of delivery (this is very important for us to process the refund), immediately get in touch with us and send picture of the damaged artwork. We would investigate the issue, and if the Painting is determined to have been damaged in transit, you would get a full refund of the artwork cost paid by you.

Print Works - Artoreal checks every print to ensure it closely resembles the online image. However, due to digital printing, there can be small variations that are beyond our control. Therefore, we do not accept return for prints for image differences. Replacements would be considered for damaged artworks at the time of delivery. Please notify the courier company at the time of delivery (this is very important to process the refund), immediately get in touch with us and send picture of the damaged artwork. If the print artwork is determined to have been damaged in transit, Artoreal would consider replacement of the artwork.

(Note: Artoreal shall consider each incident on case to case basis. It is our policy that in the event of a disagreement, Artoreal holds the right to make the final call on all returns. We would not be able to process any returns if it is not reported within the stipulated time period.)
