Refund policy
Last updated 22 August 2026.
This policy explains when you can cancel, when you can return, and exactly how and when you get your money back. It is written to be specific, because a policy you cannot act on is of no use to you.
Before anything else: these are made to order
Each canvas is printed and finished for you after you order. There is no shelf copy to put back. That shapes the policy below and is why change-of-mind returns are not offered.
1. Cancelling an order
You may cancel free of charge at any time before your order is dispatched — in practice a window of about 3 to 5 business days from when you place it.
To cancel, email hello@thegalleryofarts.in or call +91 99999 66946 with your order number. Once an order has been dispatched it can no longer be cancelled, but it may still be returnable under clause 2.
On cancellation we refund 100% of the amount paid, with no deduction.
2. Returns and replacements
We accept a return or replacement if, within 7 days of delivery, any of the following applies:
- the canvas arrived damaged in transit;
- the canvas has a manufacturing or print defect;
- you received the wrong artwork, wrong size, or wrong frame;
- the order arrived incomplete.
Because each piece is made to order, we do not accept returns for change of mind, or because the artwork suits the room differently than expected. We also cannot treat minor colour variation between your screen and the print as a defect — see our Terms.
3. How to raise a claim
- Email hello@thegalleryofarts.in within 7 days of delivery, with your order number and photographs of the item and of the outer packaging.
- We acknowledge within 48 hours.
- If the claim is accepted, we arrange reverse pickup at our own cost. You are never asked to pay return freight on a damaged, defective or incorrect item.
- Keep the original packaging until the claim is closed — the carrier may need to inspect it.
An unboxing photograph or video is not compulsory, but it settles a transit-damage claim quickly and we recommend taking one.
4. What you receive
Your choice of a free replacement or a full refund of the amount paid, including any charges. There is no restocking fee.
5. Refund timelines
| We initiate the refund | Within 3 business days of approving the claim, or of the returned item reaching us |
| Credited to you | Within 5 to 7 business days of initiation |
| Method | Always to the original payment method |
The final leg depends on your bank or card issuer and is outside our control. We will give you the payment gateway's refund reference so you can trace it.
6. Failed, duplicate or cancelled payments
If money was debited but the order did not complete, or you were charged twice, the amount is refunded automatically to the source. If it has not reached you within 5 to 7 business days, contact us with the transaction reference and we will pursue it with the gateway on your behalf.
7. Orders we cannot deliver
If your PIN code turns out not to be serviceable, or delivery fails for a reason not attributable to you, we cancel and refund in full.
