By registering and placing your artworks for sale on www.indianartcollectors.com (‘the Website’) you acknowledge that you are bound by the terms and conditions listed below:

  1. Registration & Membership: IndianArtCollectors while requiring pre registration with it of the artist, also reserves the right to accept/ reject any artworks of the artist. IndianArtCollectors is a service provider to artists to sell their artworks to collectors directly. It does not take responsibility, or give any guarantee or assurance for the sale of any artworks posted by the artist on this website.
  2. Sale of Artworks: Placing your works for sale on www.indianartcollectors.com constitutes an irrevocable acceptance of these terms & conditions. The contract of sale is between IndianArtCollectors (acting as the agent of the buyer) and the artist. The artist will be informed of the sale of his/her artwork by email. Unless rescinded/cancelled by IndianArtCollectors within 10 working days of the buyer placing the order on account of a default of payment by the buyer, such acceptance results in an enforceable contract of sale.
  3. Accuracy of Details: The artist is responsible for the accuracy of the details of the artworks, the dimensions, the medium & surface, the image quality and its similarity to the original piece of work. In case of a complaint by the collector, IndianArtCollectors will refund the money accepted on behalf of the artist to the collector, and ask the collector to return the artwork to the artist. At the time of placing the artwork for sale on our website the artist will state the condition in which the artwork will be shipped - rolled or framed or stretched, and in the event of a sale, courier the artwork in the same condition.
  4. Pricing: The artists will upload artworks at their convenience and quote a sale price as per their expectations. The listed price should account for all shipping, handling and service commission charges borne by the artist as well as the service tax on service commission paid by the collector. Under no circumstances will the price be revised upwards once the contract of sale has been executed.
  5. Shipping: Once an order is placed on IndianArtCollectors, the artist is required to courier the artwork within 3 working days of IndianArtCollectors having received the payment from the collectors on behalf of the artist and the website informing the artist of the same by email. All shipping/courier charges will be borne by the artist. The paintings that are unframed & unmounted should be shipped in a rolled format & in protective cylinders. For the paintings that are shipped with glass frames, utmost care should be taken while packing. The artist is responsible to maintaining a high standard of packing and shipping the artwork such that the collector receives it in undamaged condition and is satisfied by the service. The artist must use only reputed courier services to deliver artworks to the collectors.
  6. Default on Orders Placed: In the event that the Artist no longer has the artwork in his possession, or is unwilling to execute the sale, or has furnished wrong details about the artwork which gets revealed post the confirmation of a sale, IndianArtCollectors reserves the right to cancel the artist’s membership to this service. Alternately, and without prejudice to the foregoing, IndianArtCollectors may, at its absolute discretion, seek to commence legal proceedings to ensure execution of the contract of sale.
  7. Amount Receivable: The artist will pay a service commission of 15% of the Amount Receivable to IndianArtCollectors and IndianArtCollectors will also collect a service tax of 12.36% of the service commission amount from the collector in the event of a sale, which will be deducted from the Listed Price. The amount receivable by the artist will be the listed price given by the artist less the service commission + Service tax on service commission.
  8. Overseas Sales: The listed price in dollars will automatically have a 10% premium to the Rupee price posted by you on IndianArtCollectors. This will compensate the artist for the additional shipping charges borne by the artist for overseas transaction.
