1 – PURPOSE AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THE GTCS

The purpose of the Artkofa website is to present Items from artists (hereinafter the “Sellers”) to the users of the site (potential “Buyers”), and to give them the opportunity to discover and buy them online directly from the Seller.

These general terms and conditions of sale are meant to define the terms and conditions for the online sale of the Items available on the site, and to define each party’s rights and obligations in such a relationship.

The sales made through the Site are contracted directly between the Buyer and the Seller. Artkofa is not, in any respect, a reseller of the Items proposed by the Sellers through the Site.

Artkofa acts as a simple middleman in the context of the provision of the Site that allows Sellers and Buyers to connect.

As a result, Artkofa is not a party to the contract which is concluded only between the Buyer and the Seller, who is the only Seller of the Items and therefore the only one bound to obligations arising therefrom.

2 – ACCEPTANCE

The unconditional acceptance of the entire general conditions of sale is mandatory to conclude the sale agreement, by both the Seller and the Buyer. The acceptance is confirmed by a box that needs to be checked on the Item order form.

3 – ORDER

The Items are offered for sale on the Seller’s website, subject to their availability.

Each of the Items offered comes with a short explanation sheet containing information about its substrate, its dimensions, its weight and type.

To order an Item, the Buyer must select the Item of his/her choice, place it in his/her cart and provide the necessary personal information to place the order (or identify him/herself, ifhe/she has a User account). Before validating the order, the Buyer must check the information appearing on the order summary, and he/she can correct any potential mistakes in the items inserted, as well as read about the delivery costs.

The Buyer will be charged for the payment once the purchase is effectuated. Artkofa will validate the availability within 48 hours.

If the Item is no longer available, an email informing the Buyer will be sent within 48 hours, canceling the order and processing a refund.

– SPECIFIC CASES OF ITEM CUSTOMIZATION REQUESTS

A “customization request” is defined as any change requested by the Customer that results in a modification of the initial characteristics of the Item (size, material, aspect…) listed on the product sheet of this Item.

If the Item (in stock or to be produced) is subject to a customization request from the Buyer, the Seller will make a quotation to the Buyer and will wait for its validation before producing the Item. The quotation contains a provisional delivery date for the personalized Item.

If Artkofa has confirmed receipt of payment within 3 working days of the quotation being sent to the Buyer, the sale is then considered to be concluded under the terms of the General

Terms and Conditions of Sale accepted by the Buyer and the Seller and available at www.artkofa.art.

If after 3 working days Artkofa has not validated the order by confirming receipt of payment, the order is canceled.
