Terms & Conditions

These terms apply to every purchase and enquiry made through the Alvin Art Gallery website. By placing an order you agree to them, so please read them alongside our Shipping & Returns and Privacy Policy pages.

1. Orders and availability

Each original painting is a unique work. Until we confirm your payment, a piece is not reserved, and if two collectors order the same original the first confirmed payment secures it. If a work you ordered is no longer available, we will tell you straight away and refund anything you have paid in full.

Limited edition prints are produced in numbered editions. An order is accepted when we email you a confirmation, and we may decline or cancel an order if there is an error in the price or description, in which case you will be refunded in full.

2. Prices and payment

All prices are shown in Philippine pesos (PHP). We currently accept two ways to pay:

• Bank transfer (InstaPay or PESONet). We email you our bank details after you place the order, and the work is held for you for 48 hours while we wait for your payment. If payment has not arrived by then, the order is cancelled and the work is released.
• Cash on delivery, available for deliveries within Metro Manila only. Payment is due in full when the work is handed over.

3. Delivery

Delivery charges, areas and handling are described on our Shipping & Returns page. Risk of loss or damage passes to you once the work has been delivered and signed for.

4. Authenticity

Every work is sold with a certificate of authenticity signed or issued by the gallery. Descriptions, dimensions and materials are given in good faith and to the best of our knowledge.

5. Colour and size

We photograph every work with care, but the colours you see depend on your screen, and handmade work can vary slightly from its photograph. Sizes are given for the artwork itself; framed sizes are stated separately where a frame is offered.

6. Copyright

The copyright in every artwork stays with the artist. Buying an original or a print gives you ownership of that physical object, but not the right to reproduce, publish or sell images of it without the artist's written permission. Photographs and text on this website belong to Alvin Art Gallery or the artists and may not be copied without permission.

7. Returns and refunds

Our returns terms are set out on the Shipping & Returns page and form part of these terms. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under Philippine consumer protection law.

8. Our responsibility

Our liability for any order is limited to the price you paid for it. We are not responsible for delays or losses caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as severe weather or courier disruption, but we will always keep you informed and help to resolve the problem.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, and any dispute will be handled by the courts of Metro Manila.
