myGallerist Purchase Protection Policy
We understand that acquiring a work of art is never a sure thing until the piece is in the collector’s possession, positioned in the space planned for installation.

So we set up a purchase approval policy to help accommodate this need. If the artwork is represented by myGallerist and the collector agrees to purchase – the arrangement is always on-approval.

Here's how it works:
Step 1
Once the collector and myGallerist complete the financial agreement the collector pays for the artwork in full including shipping and packing estimates through Goggle Checkout or Paypal.

Step 2
The artist is then instructed to drop off the piece at the nearest UPS store for packing and shipping (which is substancially discounted for the collecter). All UPS costs, including full insurance coverage, are charged to the myGallerist account.

Step 3
Once the collector receives the artwork (and saves all packing materials) he/she has 7 days to accept and approve the purchase

Step 4
If for any reason the collector does not want the work it must be re-packed with original packing material and calls UPS for a pick-up. The collector must pay for return shipping. Once the work is inspected by the artist the collector is issued a full refund minus all packing and shipping costs.

Step 5
If the collector approves and accepts the artwork then the artist is issued payment less 25% commission.

If the artwork is represented by the artist
or anyone other than myGallerist:
The artist or artist's representative may make any arrangement directly with the collector regarding purchase. In this case myGallerist has no involvement nor responsibillity in the sale and, therefore, no fee nor commission is assessed.

In the event a collector prefers to have myGallerist handle the sales transaction with a gallery, artist representative or private dealer, then once the collector approves and accepts the artwork the representative is issued payment less 12% commission.
