Postage Policy

1. Delivery of Artwork: Artists selected to Exhibit at Artiste Online exhibitions are responsible for the secure and timely delivery of their Artwork to Artiste Online. All costs related to the postage or delivery of Artwork to the physical address supplied by Artiste Online, including packaging, postage, insurance, security and any other associated costs, are the sole responsibility of the Artist.

2. Return of Unsold Artwork: At the end of the Exhibition, Artists are responsible for the collection of their unsold Artwork. If the Artist requires their unsold Artwork to be returned via post or courier, the Artist is responsible for arranging logistics and for all associated costs including packaging, postage, and insurance. Artiste Online will not be held liable for any damage that may occur during transit.

3. Arranging Postage: When arranging postage for the delivery or return of Artwork, Artists should ensure they use a reliable courier service with appropriate insurance coverage. Artists should package their Artwork securely to prevent damage during transit.

4. Postal Deadlines: Artwork must be delivered to Artiste Online by the deadline specified for each Exhibition. Artwork that arrives late may not be included in the Exhibition. At the end of the Exhibition, Artists must arrange for the collection or return postage of their unsold Artwork within the timeframe specified by Artiste Online.

5. Proof of Delivery: When posting Artwork to Artiste Online, Artists should use a service that provides proof of delivery. Artiste Online is not responsible for Artwork lost in transit and will not accept liability for Artwork that it has not received.

6. Artiste Online’s Packaging Responsibility: If the Artist requires unsold Artwork to be returned via post and has made necessary arrangements including payment for return postage and insurance, Artiste Online agrees to take reasonable care in packaging the Artwork for return. This includes using appropriate packaging materials (normally the packing the Art was delivered in) to safeguard the Artwork during transit. However, Artiste Online does not accept liability for any damage that occurs during transit once the Artwork has left the Artiste Online premises. As such, Artists are strongly advised to ensure that their return postage arrangement includes adequate insurance to cover potential loss or damage during transit.
