All prices displayed on the platform are expressed in Euros (€) and include VAT at the legally applicable rate, unless otherwise indicated.
Shipping Costs:
Shipping and insurance costs are calculated separately and presented during checkout, depending on the destination and characteristics of the artwork.

The Collector’s Edit accepts debit and credit cards, as well as other payment methods made available through the platform from time to time.
Payment security is ensured through SSL encryption protocols and third-party payment service providers.
Shipping, Delivery and Insurance
Delivery Timeframes:
As artworks often require specialist packaging and preparation, dispatch times may vary between 5 and 30 business days. Transit times depend on the selected carrier and destination.
Responsibility:
The Collector’s Edit coordinates logistics directly with the artist.
All artworks must be shipped with appropriate transport insurance. The artist is responsible for arranging such insurance upon dispatch and for providing an accurate description and declared value of the artwork in accordance with applicable postal and transport regulations.
These requirements are necessary to facilitate claims in the event of loss, damage, or deterioration during transit.
Transport Damage:
Upon delivery, buyers should inspect both the packaging and artwork.
If visible damage is detected, the buyer should refuse delivery or sign for receipt with reservation, take photographs, and notify The Collector’s Edit within 24 hours of delivery.

Certificate of Authenticity:
All artworks sold through The Collector’s Edit are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
Copyright:
The purchase of a physical artwork does not transfer any intellectual property rights.
Copyright and reproduction rights remain with the artist unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Buyers may not reproduce, publish, distribute, commercially exploit, or otherwise use images of the artwork without the prior written consent of the artist, except where permitted by applicable law.
