Effective: September 30, 2026·Last Updated: September 30, 2026
Version 1.0.0

1. Order Cancellation Policy

• Prior to Dispatch: Collectors may cancel an order for a full 100% refund by contacting studio@sethueyyal.com within 24 hours of purchase, provided the artwork has not already been crated and dispatched.

• After Dispatch: Once an artwork has been collected by the courier partner, the order cannot be cancelled in transit.

2. Transit Damage & Defective Delivery Claims

Every shipment is fully insured. If your artwork arrives damaged in transit, follow our claim procedure:

• Notification Window: Notify us within 48 hours of delivery at support@sethueyyal.com or submit a claim through the Customer Portal.

• Required Evidence: Provide your Order Number, clear photographs of the damaged shipping crate, and photographs of the affected artwork canvas/frame.

• Resolution: Upon verification of transit damage, we will arrange for the reverse collection of the damaged work and provide a 100% full refund or, for limited edition prints, a replacement print at no cost.

3. Original Artwork Returns

Original fine art paintings are unique, high-value cultural artifacts created over months of studio practice.

• Returns Due to Change of Mind: [BUSINESS DECISION REQUIRED: Specify whether change-of-mind returns are permitted (e.g. 7-day inspection window subject to return freight and restocking fee) or whether sales of original paintings are final except in cases of damage/misrepresentation].

• Condition Requirement: In any permitted return, the artwork must be returned in its original custom crate, in pristine original condition, with the signed Certificate of Authenticity.

4. Bespoke Commission Cancellation & Returns

Because custom commissioned paintings are created specifically to your personal specifications and dimensions, bespoke commissions are non-refundable once physical canvas execution has commenced.

5. Refund Processing Timeline

Approved refunds are initiated within 3 business days of return receipt and condition inspection.

Funds are credited directly to your original payment method via Razorpay within 5 to 7 banking business days, depending on your financial institution.
