Assignment of copyright
In the event of acquisition of one of his works by a client of the Site, the Artist transfers to the purchaser, without limitation of duration, the support of the work considered, as well as all the patrimonial rights attached to it, namely the right of representation and reproduction within the framework defined below, in accordance with the provisions of article L. 122-7 of the Intellectual Property Code , and to retain only his moral rights.
The purchaser may exhibit the work in any location of his choice, present it to the public, including to a remote public, transfer it, lend it or rent it.
Price of works
The price of each work indicated on the Site is expressed in euros and dollars, all taxes included. This price is increased by any costs of provision and delivery (packaging, shipping, insurance, etc.) that may be due.
The price of a work may be changed at any time, upwards or downwards. The invoiced price corresponds in all cases to the price displayed on the Site at the time the order is validated by the buyer.
In the event of delivery to a country other than France, its overseas territories or outside the European Union, the price invoiced is the price excluding taxes. If customs duties, local taxes or import duties are payable, these duties are the responsibility of the buyer and are their sole responsibility, both in terms of declarations and payments to the competent authorities and/or organizations. It is their responsibility to inquire with the competent authorities.
Payment methods
Payment can be made in the following ways:
The transfer of ownership of the work occurs after full payment of the price and its accessories.
In the event of non-payment for any reason whatsoever, the sale will automatically be terminated and the work put back on sale.
In the event that the buyer has chosen to benefit from the possibility of payment in three installments and does not honor at least one of the scheduled payments, he will be required to return the works to the Company, and the latter will retain the full amount of the payments already made, as a penalty clause.
Delivery of works
The delivery time within mainland France is a maximum of 60 days from the validation of payment to the Site. This maximum delivery time is increased to 90 days for all other locations.
Delivery is made to the address indicated by the buyer on the order form, during business hours.
Delivery costs and additional costs depend on the nature of the work, its overall dimensions, its weight and the place of delivery.
