The Importance of a Return / Refund Policy

It is highly recommended that you post a refund policy on your website. If you are selling at art venues, we recommend posting your policy at the venue itself and inform buyers about the policy.

This will protect you and prevent any problems down the road.

In general, merchants are required to accept returns in certain situations. Some states have laws governing the disclosure of refund and return policies. Be sure to check the laws in your state.

NOTE: Commissioned art should have its own return policy.


There are a number of great articles on the web regarding this.

If you have a written policy, on your website for example, then when the customer buys the artwork from your website, they have agreed to the terms of the policy.
