EXCHANGE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

On artwork for exchange, an option may be displayed next to the artwork that says, "Offers To Buy are Welcome" that allows Buyers to submit an offer to buy to the current owner, via Art Rotator. 

SELLERS

If you are a Seller offering artworks, you shall:

• Email a description of the goods offered and set a price. Sellers are solely responsible for the description, condition, authenticity, and quality of the goods offered;

• Represent and warrant that you are free to sell the goods offered and that the sale to any Buyer will be free of any charges or encumbrances.

The sale price will be displayed on artworks unless the Seller has asked for a confidential listing. 

If someone makes an inquiry or offer on artwork through Art Rotator, you will be contacted by Art Rotator via email with the inquiry. If you do not wish to accept the offer presented to you, you're welcome to decline it. Should you decide to accept the offer, Art Rotator will forward your acceptance or decline to the inquirer.

• Shipping and Handling: You are responsible for packaging, labelling, and coordinating pickup or drop-off with a courier unless otherwise arranged.

If a Seller is listing five or more items for sale, a quantity discount will be negotiated.

BUYERS

PURCHASING ARTWORKS

If you are a Buyer, you acknowledge that:

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

• It is your responsibility to determine the value, condition and authenticity of the artwork.

• Your contract to purchase an artwork is with the Seller of that artwork and not with Art Rotator. You and the Seller will be responsible for the obligations of the contract, and we exclude all liability arising from the purchase contract.

• It is your responsibility to ensure that you check that the Artwork is in the expected condition at the point of collection/receipt and not to take it/sign for it if you consider it to be damaged or misrepresented.

Upon acceptance of the Buyer's offer to purchase artwork, we shall separately confirm the agreement to the Seller and notify the Buyer submitting that the offer was successful. 

We shall email both the successful Buyer and Seller and shall provide each with the name and email address of the other; Buyer and Seller are after that solely responsible for arranging for the transmission of payment of the purchase price and prompt shipment of the goods after receipt of cleared funds. 

Any dispute concerning any artwork sale shall be resolved between the Buyer and Seller, without the participation of Art Rotator. The Seller is solely responsible for collecting payment from the Buyer. Art Rotator does not guarantee and is not responsible in any way for the performance of Buyers or Sellers participating in the sale or exchange of artwork on the site.

On the Art Rotator Online Galleries, you may see an option next to the artwork that says, "Offers Welcome". Proceed through the steps to confirm your offer. Once you have made your offer, Art Rotator will contact you to facilitate this process. If your offer is accepted, we will contact you by email.
 

• The offer form does not require registration or payment information. It merely collects your offer amount, personal message, and contact information (name, email). The name of the prospective Buyer will not be disclosed to the Seller until the sale is agreed.

• In addition to the agreed price, some additional costs such as shipping, customs/duties, and taxes, will be required, but agreed between the Buyer and Seller, and outside of Art Rotator. 

• Once you have confirmed you would like to proceed, you will need to provide your PayPal payment information before we process your invoice for our introducer fee.

• If the owner of the artwork declines your offer, you agree that Art Rotator may contact you to let you know by email and will offer to help find similar works that may be of interest. 

If buying five or more items, a quantity discount will be negotiated.
