Thalo provides this service for Your convenience only, and Thalo assumes no responsibility for and makes no warranty or representation regarding any sale of original artwork. Thalo cannot ensure that a buyer or seller of original works of art will actually complete a transaction.  Thalo will use its reasonable efforts to promptly inform artist of any offers to purchase original artwork; however, Thalo shall have no liability to You should Thalo fail to communicate such offer or should artist not receive such offer

 

10.2     If artist chooses to sell original artwork through the Max Grumbacher Gallery, the artist is responsible for keeping artist’s gallery up to date with respect to original artwork that is available for sale.

10.3     If You wish to purchase any original artwork, You will click on the appropriate portion of the Website for doing so, supplying all payment information and other information requested. Thalo will then send the artist an email that requires artist to confirm that his/her original artwork is still available for sale.  Artist will be required to respond to Thalo’s email within 24 hours, otherwise Thalo will inform You that the item is not for sale, and Your credit card will not be charged.  After Thalo receives confirmation from the artist that the artwork is still available for sale, Your credit card will be charged. Thalo will send the artist an email with a prepaid UPS (or any other designated carrier) label that includes Thalo’s account number as well as the “ship to” address You entered when placing Your order with Thalo.  Artist will ship the original artwork to You at the address You provided.  Although Thalo will be deemed the “shipper of record” by virtue of the use of Thalo’s account number in regard to the shipping label, title and risk of loss pass from the artist to You when the artist delivers the original artwork to the carrier. You should expect to receive the original artwork within ten (10) days from the date the artist ships the original artwork to You. However, some items may take longer.
