Customer’s Responsibility

Customers who purchase artworks on the Petite Collection website must provide a delivery location that is reasonable and easy to access for couriers and delivery of artwork(s).

Failure to collect artworks within that 14-day time frame may result in the artwork being returned to the artist and the customer forfeiting their 72hr return period.

After 72hrs has passed from notification of collection, it is considered the buyer owns the work, the artist is paid, and the refund period is expired. The buyer will then be charged for re-delivery of the artwork.
