The buyer acknowledges and agrees that the offered goods have the character of works of art and handmade products, which involves the following specifics:
• Painted Artworks / Paintings:
• These are original works. Minor deviations in paint texture, brushstrokes, or final details compared to photographs on the e-shop are a natural sign of original handmade work and the uniqueness of each painting.
• Paintings must be protected from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, and sharp temperature fluctuations, which could damage the canvas or colors.
• Earrings and Jewelry:
• Natural oxidation (darkening) of metal parts (silver, brass) due to wear, air, or sweat is not a product defect, but a natural property of the metal.
