Our terms and conditions regulate the business relationship between you and Koster Fine Art and are intended to be both binding and fair.

Product


The appearance and colour of the photographs can change and fade. To ensure you keep enjoying our works of art, you should not expose photographs, laminations or frames, either in part or in full, to direct sunlight, hang them directly above heating appliances or expose them to a higher level of humidity than expected in a normal living room. Photographs, laminations and frames are not suitable for external areas, cellars, bathrooms or kitchens. Laminations with UV protective film or acrylic glass and wooden frames are very sensitive to scratches and dirt and should therefore only be handled with gloves or equivalent protection.

 

Scope


The following General Terms and Conditions in their most current version at the time of order shall exclusively govern the business relationship between Koster Fine Art, Naarden, here acting under the brand Koster Fine Art, and the orderer. Koster Fine Art shall not recognise any terms set out by the orderer unless such conditions have been expressly agreed to by Koster Fine Art in writing.

Cancellation Terms and Process


Should you cancel the sale contract, we are to refund all payments received from you, excluding shipping costs, promptly - at the latest, within 30 days of our receipt of the statement indicating your cancellation. Refunds will be credited back to the original payment method, unless otherwise expressly agreed upon. We can withhold the refund until such time as we have received the returned goods or until you have provided proof of their return shipment, whichever comes first. You are to send the goods back in the original packaging without delay. At the very latest, they must be sent within 30 days of the day you inform us of the cancellation. This deadline is met as long as the return shipment is sent within the allotted 30 days.
You shall bear the direct cost of return shipping for your order. Goods cannot be returned by normal post.
You are only responsible for decreases in the value of goods if, after inspecting their condition, properties, and functionality, the decrease in value can be traced back to your improper handling of the goods.

 

Delivery


Unless agreed otherwise, delivery will be ex print or frameshop to your address or to the delivery address specified by you and because your order is especialy made to your wishes, production and delivery time is approx. 14 workdays. Don't accept any shipment when the package is torn, bended or looks damaged.

 

Edition Certificate with signature


For organisational reasons, Koster Fine Art may also send the orderer the Edition Certificate with the artist’s signature and the edition details separately – and subject to a delay.

If you exercise your right of cancellation, you must also immediately return the unused Edition Certificate. The purchase price shall not be refunded without receipt of Edition Certificate. The right of cancellation shall lapse if the Edition Certificate is used on the work of art, the frame, the lamination or elsewhere.

 

Prices, due date and payment, default


The prices stated in the online shop are final prices including sales taxes. Shipping costs are not included in the price and are added to it in each case. Information about the shipping costs is contained in Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions.

The purchase price is paid via credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express).
Should the account of the orderer lack sufficient funds, or the orderer countermand the bank debit without just reason, Koster Fine Art shall have the right to demand an administration fee of €10.00 from the orderer.

If you are in default, Koster Fine Art reserves the right to charge consumers default interest at 5 percentage points above the respective base rate per annum published by the European Central Bank and to charge companies 9 percentage points above the respective base rate per annum published by the European Central Bank.

Where greater costs are demonstrably incurred as a result of these payment arrears, Koster Fine Art reserves the right to assert claims in respect of these.

Liability


Within the scope of statutory provisiois liable for damages without restriction.

  1. Relating to loss of life, physical injury or damage to health which is due to wilful or negligent breach of duty or is otherwise due to wilful or negligent conduct by Koster Fine Art.
  2. Which is due to wilful or negligent breach of duty or is otherwise due to wilful or grossly negligent conduct by the provider.

The liability of Koster Fine Art shall be limited to compensation for foreseeable loss or damage typical for the contract caused due to slightly negligent breaches of material duties by Koster Fine Art. Material duties are duties whose fulfilment is a prerequisite for proper implementation of the contract and whose observance the orderer may rely on.

The above provisions shall apply accordingly to the liability of Koster Fine Art in respect of reimbursing futile costs. Liability under the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.

 

Warranty


Unless expressly agreed otherwise, statutory warranty rights shall apply. The statutory warranty period of one year shall apply. This shall start upon handover of the goods. During this period, all defects subject to statutory warranty obligations shall be corrected free of charge.

If a defect is discovered during the inspection or subsequently, we must be advised of this immediately. Immediate in this case is if you advise us within two weeks, with the timely sending of the notification being sufficient for meeting the deadline. Irrespective of this duty of inspection and complaint, you must report obvious defects (including incorrect or short deliveries) in writing within two weeks of delivery, with the timely sending of the notification being sufficient for meeting the deadline. If you fail to perform a proper inspect and/or notify us of the defect, our liability for the unreported defect is excluded.
