These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law provisions.

Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees, and shall share equally in the fees and expenses of the arbitrator. The arbitration will occur in New York City, NY. Nothing in this Section is intended to be construed to preclude any party from seeking injunctive relief to protect its Intellectual Property Rights.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ARTLESS with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter. No section of these Terms shall be held to be waived, modified, or deleted except by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

Pricing and other details about a Product are set forth on the product page for the applicable Product on our website; and such pricing and other details are expressly incorporated by reference into the terms of this Agreement.

14.1.1. REPRODUCTION ACCURACY

The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colors accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. Your Products may vary slightly from those images.

14.2. PRICES 

All Product prices are listed on each product page and the Checkout page. You agree to pay the price for the Product indicated on these pages at the time of purchase. The purchase price of the Product is determined by us. It is stated in US dollars and excludes shipping costs that will be specified during the shopping cart confirmation. 

We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Artworks are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. It is always possible that, despite our efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will contact you in writing to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we send you an e-mail that confirms that the Artworks have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). You will then be charged the price for the Product purchased plus delivery charges.

If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site as referred to in clause 14, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Artworks, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

You agree to pay all charges, including applicable taxes, in accordance with the billing terms in effect at the time the price or charge becomes payable. If an error has been made in the amount of taxes collected by ARTLESS with respect to your purchase, we reserve the right to process an additional charge in order to meet our obligations to collect such taxes in the correct amount as required by applicable law.

Depending on your delivery address, different taxation rules and additional charges may apply.

ARTLESS DOES have any control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.

Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.

14.11. DELIVERY 

Following placement of your order we will send you an email to confirm the estimated delivery date.

Deliveries will be made to the address stipulated in your order. You must ensure that someone is present to accept delivery.

Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 14.10 for our responsibilities when this happens.

If we are not able to deliver your Products within 30 days of the date of your order, we shall notify you by e-mail to arrange another date for delivery.

Delivery of an Order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us.

You own the Artworks once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

We reserve the right to refuse any returns which are damaged or do not comply with the above listed criteria.

15. SEVERABILITY

If any of these terms is at any time held by any jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then it shall be treated as changed or reduced, only to the extent minimally necessary to bring it within the laws of that jurisdiction and to prevent it from being void and it shall be binding in that changed or reduced form. Subject to that, each provision shall be interpreted as severable and shall not in any way affect any other of these terms.

No waiver by us, in exercising any right, power or provision hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other right or of that same right at a future time; nor shall any delay in exercise of any power or right be interpreted as a waiver.

In the event of a dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or any contract between you and us, then you agree to attempt to settle the dispute by engaging in good faith with us in a process of mediation before commencing arbitration or litigation.
