    We represent and warrant to you that (i) to the best of our knowledge, artworks offered for sale on the Services (“Artworks”) are authentic; (ii) we are authorized to sell the Artwork and to make the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph, and (iii) upon acceptance of your order in accordance with these Terms and receipt of payment in full by us, good and marketable title to and right to possession of the Artwork will pass to you free of any liens, claims or encumbrances of any kind. The representations and warranties in this paragraph shall survive the completion of the sale of the Artwork to you subject to any applicable statute of limitations, are solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of record and may not be transferred to any third party. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS PARAGRAPH AND AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, WE DO NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, TO YOU OR ANY OTHER BUYER WITH RESPECT TO THE ARTWORKS OR SERVICES, AND WE HEREBY DISCLAIM AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE, ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND GUARANTEES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE WITH RESPECT TO QUALITY, RARITY, CONDITION, PROVENANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, SIZE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IMPORTANCE, DESIGNER OR CREATOR, HISTORICAL RELEVANCE, EXHIBITIONS, LITERATURE OR AS TO WHETHER THE BUYER WILL ACQUIRE ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT OR REPRODUCTION RIGHT IN ANY ARTWORK. NO STATEMENT ON THE SITE OR THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE MADE BY COMPANY WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE ANY SUCH GUARANTEE, WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION.

    Artworks on the Services are being sold on an “as-is,” “with all faults” basis. You are responsible for reviewing all of the information provided about an Artwork before placing an order, including but not limited to any information about an Artwork’s physical condition. Although we strive to provide accurate descriptions and images of Artworks available on the Service, we do not warrant that the descriptions and images are complete, accurate, current, reliable, or error-free. We are not responsible for independently verifying or investigating the condition or quality of any Artwork offered for sale via the Services.

    All orders made through the Services are subject to our acceptance and we will not be obligated to fulfill any order unless and until we accept the order and you have completed the checkout and payment process. Orders are subject to product availability and in our sole discretion, we may cancel or refrain from processing an order for any reason (including if the Artwork is out of stock, suspicions of fraudulent orders, sales of additional units to the same customer, pricing errors or other circumstances). If your order is processed, we will send a confirmation email with your order number, a summary of the items ordered, and pricing details. Our acceptance of your order and the formation of a contract of sale between you and us with respect to the Artwork will not take place unless and until you have received this order confirmation email and your method of payment is charged. If your order cannot be completed for any reason, we will notify you using the information you provide when placing your order and the contract of sale between you and us is canceled. Certain Artworks that you purchase through the Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions presented to you at the time of such purchase at our sole discretion. We also reserve the right to take steps to verify your identity prior to or after processing or accepting your order and to cancel your order if your identity cannot be verified. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the offering of any Artwork through the Services at any time, in our sole discretion.

    Certain Artworks offered on the Services may require customs, cultural and regulated species permits for export from the country in which they are located and/or import into the buyer’s country, or may be subject to a right of purchase of the country of export/origin of purchase from the buyer. We are not responsible for, and do not make any representation or warranty regarding, the requirement for, or the availability or issuance of, valid export/import permits or the existence or exercise of preemption rights to purchase by governmental or regulatory authorities anywhere and it is your sole responsibility to identify and, in the case of permits, obtain them, if necessary.

    Where applicable, we may provide you with written instructions on the proper installation and maintenance of the Artwork. If the Artwork is installed in an area where extreme weather events can occur, you should contact us and we will assist you in determining if any special care or precautions are appropriate. You undertake to exercise reasonable care to protect, repair, and maintain the Artwork in a manner consistent with such instructions. You will not undertake any non-routine maintenance on the Artwork without consulting the artist or their authorized representative unless an emergency requires you to do so. You agree that you will not alter, modify, or change the Artwork or any part of it.

    The artist or the artist’s assignee retains all intellectual property rights in the Artwork, including without limitation all rights under the Copyright Act of 1976 U.S.C. §101 et seq., or similar laws under other jurisdictions, as the owner of the copyright of the Artwork for the duration of the copyright under those laws. For any use of reproductions of the Artwork, you shall seek permission from us or the appropriate authorized representative of the artist’s copyright rights if it is not us, and direct all third parties to do the same.

  2. PRICING AND PAYMENT

    When you use our Services to purchase an Artwork and complete the checkout process via the “Buy Now” button, you agree that you have made a binding commitment to purchase the Artworks listed in your order and will pay the listed prices in full via your provided payment method.  Your payment method will be charged upon completion of the checkout and payment process. By placing an order, you authorize us and our third-party service providers to immediately charge your selected payment method for all amounts listed on the checkout page. Please note that our third-party service providers may have additional rules and policies for processing payments posted on their websites and may update such rules and policies from time to time.

     If you purchase an Artwork via the “Inquire” button, you will be connected with a representative from our gallery where you can then confirm and complete your purchase. 

    We endeavor to use reasonable efforts to provide accurate pricing information for Artworks available on the Services but do not guarantee that pricing will be free of errors. We are not responsible for typographical or other pricing errors. If there is a pricing error related to your order, we will notify you using the information you provide when placing your order and you may either cancel the order or confirm the order at the corrected product pricing. We have the right to cancel any order if a pricing error has occurred. All prices listed on the website are in U.S. Dollars and are subject to change without notice. The listed prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. “Buy Now” Artworks will have a New York state tax added during the checkout process as they are being sold from our New York location. Given the nature of e-commerce, we are unable to accept or verify resale certificates and suggest using a third-party service to apply for tax refund if that is applicable to you.  The prices listed do not include shipping and you are solely responsible for shipping costs, inclusive of any VAT-related costs. For orders shipping internationally, orders are Delivered Duties Unpaid (DDU). We do not charge you for import duties and applicable taxes; instead, your shipping carrier will forward the invoice for those charges to you separately. Duties and taxes cannot be recovered if an Artwork is returned (all returns are subject to our return policy described below). We are happy to provide suggestions for third-party services that can help reclaim these costs. This applies to art advisors who would like to use a resale certificate. You are responsible for paying all applicable sales and use taxes, VAT, export/import taxes and duties and all transactional taxes or levies relating to each Artwork you purchase.

    On occasion, we may offer you discount codes at our discretion. A discount code can be applied to the purchase price (excluding shipping and taxes) of eligible Artworks, and cannot be combined with other discount codes. We may suspend, cancel, amend or revoke discount codes at any time without prior notice to you.

  3. SHIPPING

    The shipping carriers that we currently work with ship within the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Alaska in addition to over 120 countries and territories worldwide. However, cost and timing will depend on the location. We are not liable for any loss or damage caused by a delay in shipment or by the acts or omissions of our shipping carriers, including packing, handling or shipping. Please note that we are not able to ship products to certain destinations, including any country that is currently subject to a U.S. embargo, sanction or other export controls.

    Once an Artwork leaves the gallery, all risk of loss passes to you, we are unable to control its safety and as such, it is not under our insurance coverage. If damage occurs during shipping, you can then file a claim directly with the shipping company. See our FAQ on Insurance for more details.

  4. RETURN POLICY

    There are certain circumstances in which we will accommodate returns. Buyers have two business days from the date of delivery to inspect the Artwork and contact our Online Sales team at orders@davidzwirner.com to request a Return Authorization for a gallery credit. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN.

    When contacting us to initiate a return, Please email orders@davidzwirner.com and:

    • Use the subject line “Return Authorization,”
    • Refer to the order number, artist’s name, and name of the Artwork in your email.
    • Include the reason for return and images of the Artwork condition and the packaging if you believe that the Artwork arrived damaged

    Once we review your return request, our Online Sales team will be in touch during regular business hours to help you with your concern.

    Each returned Artwork must be received in the same condition it was in when shipped. Please note that you will be responsible for professional art packing and shipping the Artwork back to the gallery. All returned Artwork will be inspected upon receipt for authenticity and condition.  We reserve the right to decline any return or deduct the value of any damages assessed when the Artwork is delivered back to us from the total amount credited, up to 100% if the Artwork can no longer be sold.

    International clients, please note that unfortunately import duties and value-added taxes (VAT) cannot be recovered if you return a shipped Artwork.

    If you decide to proceed with a return after our Online Sales team has responded to you, you must respond to our Online Sales team within two business days from the day you received the initial response from the Online Sales team. The cost of insured return shipping and a 10% restocking fee will be deducted from the gallery credit. Please note the cost of shipping the Artwork to you is non-refundable. Any gallery credit you may be entitled to receive will not include the value of discount codes you may have used when purchasing the Artwork (for the avoidance of doubt, any gallery credit you may receive will not exceed the amount you paid for the Artwork).

    David Zwirner cannot accommodate any requests to return an Artwork or any reports of issues with an Artwork sent to us by you later than two business days after the Artwork has been delivered to you.
