Change of heart? We understand! Paintings can be exchanged for a
credit on ClaireDesjardins.com for the full amount, minus any shipping
costs, so long as certain conditions are met:

– The collector has seven (7) days from the date of reception to advise us
in writing that they would like to return the artwork, and fourteen (14)
days to pack and ship it back to us by recognized courier, as the
collector’s own expense.

– The artwork must be returned in its original packaging and in the same
condition as when it was shipped. It is important, therefore, to take care
when both unpacking and repacking your artwork.

If you have a change of heart after the 7-day return window has passed, you may return your painting by packing and shipping it back to me, at your own expense.

Once the painting has been received, it will be carefully inspected for damage. It the painting is in good shape, then you will receive a credit for the price you paid on the painting, minus any shipping charges, and a 4% monthly rental fee for each month that you kept the painting, after the date you received it. You may use the remaining balance towards the purchase of any other available artwork on my website.
