Terms and Conditions

Chic Art is a trading name of UK Net Stores.
UK Net Stores, Prospect Road, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK, YO12 7JX.

Payment
Chic Art does not offer credit terms and all prints must be paid for when ordered. We accept payment through Paypal or NoChex - this allows you to pay with either the usual range of credit/debit cards or via an existing Paypal account.

Cancelling an order
Once an order has been paid for we will start production on your canvases. If you need to cancel an order a 10% administration charge will occur if you cancel before we have started printing your canvas. Once we have printed you canvas we cannot cancel an order. We normally start canvas printing 2-3 hours after an order is placed.

Delivery
Our standard postage price is £9.99 per order going to the same address. This price is per order, not per canvas. Therefore, for orders of more than one canvas, the delivery price is still only £9.99.

Returns
In the unlikely event that your canvas does become damaged during transit, or should you not be happy with it for any other reason, please return it to us within 14 days and call or email us to inform us why you are returning it. We will then either replace it or refund you, to your preference, once we have received the returned canvas. Should there be a fault with the canvas that is our fault, we will reimburse you the full cost of returning the order.

Colour
Whilst we try our very best to colour match every photo we cannot be held responsible for exact colour matching requirements. Colours may appear differently on your computer screen than ours (due to contrast, hue settings on your monitor) and we will not accept returns for colour related issues, except in extreme/obvious circumstances. If exact colour matching is important then we suggest contacting us to discuss test samples.

Image cropping
To fit your photo onto the specified canvas size we will often have to crop the original photo. We will do this with the utmost sensitivity to retain the original feel of the image but we will not be held responsible for cropping out any part of the image. If there are specific parts of the photo that you would like to keep on the front of the canvas you should let us know in advance.

Gallery Wrapping/Bleed
Gallery wrapping is also a popular choice but to "wrap" the image, the photo must be enlarged to cover the edges of the canvas. Our canvases have a depth of around 2 inches and we therefore have to enlarge your image by 4 inches in length and width to cover these edges. Sometimes this will lead to an important part of your photo ending up on the side of the canvas (for example part of a face, an eye, or a large part of a head). We will always contact you if we have any doubt about what will work best for your canvas.

Online Previews

Whilst our online preview feature can be used to give an illustration of how your image will look on canvas, this should only be used as a guide and not as a proof. Similiarly, the viewable area of a cropped photo may vary slightly to that in the online preview. Should we have any doubts about what will look best with your canvas print, we will contact you to discuss.

Copyright
It is the sole responsibility of the customer to ensure that any image that they present for transformation into a canvas print is copyright free or that the copyright is owned by the customer themselves. We will take no responsibility for any breach of copyright caused through printing an image supplied by a customer.
