Refund Policy
Last updated: 04/04/2026
​
1. Overview
This Refund & Returns Policy outlines how I handle returns, refunds, and replacements for purchases made through this website. I comply with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), which guarantees your rights as a customer.
​
2. Change of Mind
Because all prints and framed prints are made to order, I do not offer refunds or returns for change of mind.
Digital downloads are non‑refundable once delivered.
​
3. Damaged, Incorrect, or Faulty Items
I will offer a replacement or refund if your order:
-
Arrives damaged
-
Contains the wrong item
-
Has a manufacturing defect
To request a replacement or refund, you must:
-
Contact me within 7 days of delivery
-
Provide your order number
-
Include clear photos of the issue (packaging + product)
Once assessed, I will confirm whether a replacement or refund will be issued.
​
4. Lost or Delayed Orders
If your parcel is significantly delayed or appears lost:
-
I will assist in lodging an investigation with the courier
-
Replacements or refunds will be considered once the courier confirms the parcel is lost
Please note: I am not responsible for delays caused by postal or courier services, customs, or events outside our control.
​
5. Colour & Print Variations
Due to differences in screen calibration, lighting, and printing processes:
-
Minor colour variations are not considered faults
-
Texture, grain, and paper characteristics may vary slightly between prints
These variations do not qualify for refunds or returns.
​
6. Digital Downloads
Digital files are delivered instantly and cannot be returned.
Refunds are only provided if:
-
The file is corrupted or cannot be accessed
-
A technical issue on my end prevents delivery
You must notify me within 7 days of purchase.
​
7. Order Cancellations
Orders may be cancelled only before production begins.
Once printing or framing has started, cancellations are not possible.
Digital download orders cannot be cancelled after purchase.
​
8. Consumer Guarantees
Nothing in this policy excludes your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
You are entitled to a replacement or refund for major failures, and compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
​
