Risk of Loss

All purchases from Ann Parks Fine Art are made pursuant to a shipping contract.  This means the risk of loss and title to the artwork passes to you upon our delivery of the product to the shipping carrier.  If your order is placed with a purchase order, the shipping term 'FOB Ann Parks Fine Art shipping dock' will supersede any shipping terms in your purchase order.

Returns or exchanges

All sales are final unless there's been mistake on the art listing or it was received damaged.   After order shipment, the art is not exchangeable. 

Damaged items

Shipping carriers require notification of damage within 5 business days. You agree to notify us via email or to call us no later than 4 business days after receipt, notifying us of any shipping damage with specifics and photos.  Save all shipping materials and take/provide photos of all damage as the carriers require this.

Storing Artwork

We advise all artwork should be stored in a climate controlled environment at all times.  Storing art in non-climate controlled warehouses or shipping containers quickly breaks down the adhesives causing print waterboarding, and causes sagging of canvases, etc.
