About the Art
Do you offer a guarantee on the art pieces on Partial?
While we don't offer a specific "guarantee", all of the artwork on Partial is directly from the Artist, and is validated as such by the Artist themselves. Should a conflict arise, please notify our Customer Care team [mailto: customercare@partial.gallery] and we will work to resolve it.
How do I know if the art piece comes framed or ready to hang?
All the necessary details are shown on the artwork product page. If you're not sure, submit a comment on the art piece with your question.
Can I contact the artist with any questions I might have regarding the art piece?
Yes, you may submit any comments and questions to the artist regarding their work through their public comments board. Changes are, someone else is wondering the same thing and would love to know the answer!
What happens if the artwork gets damaged in my possession? Should I be getting insurance protection?
We provide artwork insurance coverage for artwork up to a value of CAD $10,000. Our policy will cover damage to the artwork in the case of extreme circumstances, such as a fire or flooding, and human error and accidents on a case by case basis. Artwork won't, however, be covered for damage caused by gross negligence and you will be held responsible for paying for the damages incurred. (So no, don't mount a dart board next to your art piece).
Returns and Delivery
What is the normal shipping time?
Delivery times will vary case by case, but a typical shipping time for a local piece of artwork would be between 3-5 business days from the booking. If a piece requires production time, this will have to be factored in as well. International shipping timelines will vary.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, international shipping is available for sales only. International art rentals are not available on Partial.
Do you ship everywhere in Canada?
Yes, shipping across Canada is available for sales only. Art rentals outside of local areas are not available on Partial.
Is the shipping fee included in the final payment?
Upon checkout, a breakdown will outline the rental/purchase price as well as the shipping fees, insurance, and applicable taxes.
What do I do if the art piece arrives broken or in bad shape?
The first thing to do would be to notify the artist and also submit a case number to us at customercare@partial.gallery as soon as possible. If the issue cannot be resolved with the artist, our team is here to assist.
Can I track my order?
Tracking is available for long-distance shipping of art sales, but with local art rental/sales (encouraged), this is made much simpler as you will be coordinating directly with the artist for arrangements through Partial.
Do you have a return policy in the art work?
Trying the artwork in a space for 3 months is a great way to trial out a piece before committing to it. However, should you change your mind within the first 28 days of your rental, you may request shortening it to just 1 month and you will be billed a $35 cancellation fee. Your first month rental is non-refundable. We do not accept returns for artwork purchases.
