Original Paintings
As each original painting on this website is a one-off piece, we cannot guarantee it’s availability as it may have sold in another venue. We work on a first-come, first-served basis, and if the item has sold through another venue, we will refund your funds immediately or give you the opportunity to receive a credit.
​
Payment Options & Policy
All payments must clear our account prior to the receipt of shipment of any goods.
The following types of payments are accepted: Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Paypal or over the telephone. Direct Deposit into our account is also an option.
​
Pricing Policy
All prices include Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the current rate of 10% in Australia; for international sales, the GST amount is removed and integrated into the delivery cost. International customers may incur other sales taxes that must be paid by the consumer, where required by law. All prices are subject to change without notice. If any item in your order is affected, you will be notified, and your credit card will not be charged without your approval of the new price.
Lay-by Purchase Procedure & Conditions
We offer fee-free lay-by’s over a 1–12 month period. Payment plans can be used only for items over $500.00 or for multiple items totalling $500 or more. Email or call us to see if your desired item is available, and an agreement needs to be signed by you and approved by Loviz Art. We will need a 10% deposit of the total purchase price (including postage and handling, if applicable) to secure the purchase. We will not hold any artwork from sale until a deposit is received; there are no exceptions. From thereafter, you can make weekly, fortnightly, or monthly payments within the payment period to complete the sale. Extra or larger payments can be made at any time with no penalty via direct deposit or over the phone via credit card. Once all monies are paid in full, we will ship your purchase to you (conditions apply), or you can arrange to pick it up personally or make another arrangement for its collection. We must be informed of these arrangements in writing before we will release your purchase to a third party.
​
Cancellation of a lay-by prior to final payment (unless paying in full) will incur 10% of the total sale price as an administration fee. Loviz Art Pty Ltd. retains the right to cancel the lay-by at any time if the following occurs: 1 month elapses with no payment past the due date of the payment, or we are unable to contact you. At this time, Loviz Art Pty Ltd. will put the artwork(s) back for sale, and any remaining monies will be kept as a credit towards the purchase of product(s) and must be claimed within 30 days of cancellation. The 10% administration fee will be recouped within this sale. We do not refund. All goods shall remain the sole property of Loviz Art Pty Ltd. and within its possession until fully paid. No exceptions.
Return Policy
ON EXISTING STOCK: If you are not satisfied with your artwork purchased from this website that is in our existing stock range, you may return it in its original condition for any reason within seven days of receiving it (you are liable for all freight and insurance charges for a return). You are then welcome to exchange it for something of the same value or keep a credit with us for a future purchase to be used within 36 months.
ON NEW ORDERS: If you are ordering something new that is not in our stock range or ordering a custom-made artwork, then we do not refund or exchange these items, as every order is unique and only ordered upon request or purchase. Loviz Art will only pay shipping costs if an incorrect item was shipped to you or if it is a faulty item. The goods remain the sole responsibility of the original purchaser until Loviz Art Pty Ltd. receives them and deems them to be in their original sale condition. We highly recommend that you register and insure any item to be returned to us for your peace of mind.
Vouchers Policy
Loviz Art vouchers can only be redeemed directly through the Loviz Arts website or directly through us. You have 36 months to redeem your voucher. Vouchers must be used in one transaction; any remaining amount is not exchangeable with cash and will be automatically forfeited. Vouchers cannot be redeemed for cash or in conjunction with any other discount or offer. Vouchers cannot be used in any of the Loviz Arts Gallery Trail venues, but if you like a product from a venue, contact us directly and we can assist you.
Gift Registry Policy
Loviz Art Gift Registry is a fee-free service where we collect money from people who have been invited to contribute to a personalised gift registry. Upon completion of the collection, you can spend it on any product(s) directly through us on the Loviz Art website. The monies collected are subject to our general policies for purchasing a product from us; we do not refund, so if there is a cancellation, the money collected up to the date of cancellation will stay with Loviz Art as a credit for you to use within 12 months; it is not redeemable for cash.
