PART C

This Part C to the Terms only applies to purchases that you make from Sellers. Part C is supplementary to and should be read together with Part A of the Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between this Part C and Part A, this Part C will prevail.

20. OUR ROLE

20.1 Where you purchase Products offered by a Seller via the Platform, a Contract is concluded between you and that Seller via the Platform as specified in Clause 22.4. We are not a party to that Contract, but each Seller authorises us as its commercial agent to promote the Seller’s Product(s), to conclude the sale of its Product(s) under the terms of each Contract and to accept payment on that Seller’s behalf, in accordance with these Terms via the Platform. In this limited capacity, we are neither the buyer nor the seller (or reseller) of the Product(s) that the Seller offers for sale. We are not your agent for any purpose. The Seller, and not us, is responsible for performing the obligations under the terms of any Contract between you and a Seller. Each Seller is the seller of record for all sales by that Seller to you via the Platform, but you pay us via the Platform for any Product(s) that you purchase. Your obligation to pay for any Product(s) is satisfied when you properly pay us for the Product(s) via the Platform. Because we conclude the sale on behalf of the Seller and your payment to us satisfies your obligation to pay for the Product(s) you purchase from the Seller, our name will appear on your payment card statement (which may also display the Seller’s name). The Seller will dispatch or arrange for the dispatch of the Product(s) you have purchased after receiving our notification of your order. You may only pay for Product(s) via the Platform and the Seller must not invoice you outside the Platform. Any refunds may only be initiated to you via the Platform. We may in our sole discretion investigate or decline to process any transaction involving any Product(s) purchased via the Platform. We do not charge you any fee for the Platform (other than the Service Fee referred to in Clause 17.6). We charge Sellers for acting on their behalf in the limited capacity described above.

20.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, we are not the agent, intermediary or other representative of the Seller. We are not a fiduciary or trustee of the Sellers.

20.3 We have no responsibility to you in relation to your order from a Seller or any Seller Products, except as expressly set out in Parts A and C of these Terms.

21. PRICES, DELIVERY CHARGES AND SERVICE FEE

21.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our Platform from time to time. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, please see clause 22.5 in this Part C for what happens in this event.

21.2 Prices for the Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order already confirmed.

21.3 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, the VAT you pay will be adjusted, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

21.4 The price of a Product does not include Delivery Charges. Delivery charges will be emailed to you separately after the order has been placed.  

21.5 Our Platform contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our Platform may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will 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 with the Seller 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 unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, the Seller do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

21.6 All Products shown on our Platform are subject to availability. We will inform you by e-mail as soon as possible if the Seller is unable to fulfil your order.

21.7 We may charge you a Service Fee for any order placed by you on the Platform, plus any applicable VAT. The amount of the Service Fee will be displayed to you before you place your order. By placing your order, you agree to pay to us the Service Fee charged for that order. The Service Fee is not refundable unless the order to which it relates is cancelled before the Product(s) is delivered.

22. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND THE SELLER

22.1 For questions regarding placing an order on our Platform, please email us at: info@artrepresent.com.

22.2 The order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to Seller. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.

22.3 After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order on behalf of the Seller. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted by the Seller or by us. The Seller’s acceptance of your order will take place as described in clause 22.4 in this Part A.

22.4 We will on behalf of the Seller confirm the Seller’s acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Products have been dispatched (Order Confirmation). The Contract between the Seller and you will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation.

22.5 If the Seller is unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because of an error in the price on our Platform as referred to in clause 21.1 or 21.5 in this Part C, you will be informed of this by e-mail and your order will not be processed.

22.6 You may discuss the scope, requirements, timeline and Price for an order for custom or bespoke Product(s) using the tool we provide on the Platform for that purpose. Once you have agreed the specification with the Seller, the Seller will notify us and an invoice will be issued for the amount of any agreed deposit to be paid to the Seller (less our Commission) for commencing work, and we will debit your payment card for the amount of that deposit. Once the Seller completes the work and dispatches the Product(s), an invoice will be issued for the balance of the Price and an Order Confirmation will be sent to you. We will then debit your payment card for the balance of the Price.

23. DELIVERY

23.1 Your order will be fulfilled by the Seller as soon as reasonable, unless there is an Event Outside Control, and we will provide you with a tracking number once the Products have been shipped. If the Seller is unable to fulfil delivery because of an Event Outside Control, we will contact you.

23.2 Delivery will be completed when the Products are delivered to the address you gave when making the order.

23.3 The Products will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.

23.4 You own the Products once you have made the payment in full, including all applicable Delivery Charges.

23.5 Please note that where you purchase Products from a Seller and Products from us in the same order the Seller is responsible for delivery of the Products it has sold and we are responsible for the delivery of the Products we have sold. Therefore, delivery will be made separately and will not necessarily arrive at the same time. Note you may also be charged separate shipping costs.

 

24. INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

24.1 International shipping destinations are set by the Seller. We do our best to encourage Sellers to ship worldwide, but in some cases, Sellers will only ship to a limited set of countries.

If you wish to have a Product delivered to a country that a Seller currently does not ship to, please contact info@artrepresent.com. (International Delivery Destinations). However, there are restrictions on some Products for certain International Delivery Destinations, so please review the information on that page carefully before ordering Products.

24.2 If you order Products from our Platform for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that neither we nor the Seller have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount.

24.3 You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

24.4 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We or the Seller will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.
