Authenticity Guarantee
Authenticity Guarantee
Khaas Art Gallery lists and sells in its ‘Browse and Buy’ online catalogue art that
it owns (Khaas Art Gallery’s own collection) as well as art on consignment, either
from an artist itself, or from a reputable private collector or a reputable and
established affiliated art gallery.
Khaas Art provides an assurance to each purchaser of artwork from Khaas Art Gallery
that each piece of art we offer for sale from our own collection through online
purchase is a genuine work of the artist listed. Khaas Art Gallery also provides
an assurance on behalf of the seller that each piece of art which we offer for sale
that does not belong to Khaas Art but is either on consignment from an artist, or
put up for sale on the Khaas Art ‘Browse and Buy’ online catalogue, is a genuine
work of the artist listed.
Authenticity in relation to artwork shall mean compliance of the artwork with the
description provided on the web site, particularly with reference to the name of
the artist, title (if any) of the artwork itself, date, the school of art (if mentioned),
dimensions, medium, et cetera.
All art sold at Khaas Art Gallery is sourced either directly from the artist, from
reputable art galleries affiliated with Khaas Art Gallery, or from reputable individual
art collectors who are able to prove provenance to the satisfaction of Khaas Art
Gallery. The artwork is further screened and authenticated by affiliated experts
and directly by the artist where possible. Based on our diligent scrutiny of each
artwork, we provide an authenticity certificate with every sale.
However, in the unlikely event that any item which you purchase from Khaas Art’s
own collection is, within six months from the sale, proven to the reasonable satisfaction
of Khaas Art to be inauthentic or its description as set out on the site, or otherwise,
is inaccurate or erroneous, Khaas Art will forthwith refund the full purchase price
and shipping costs paid by you, once you return the artwork purchased, to Khaas
Art. These cases will be handled on a case-by-case basis and will require examinable
proof clearly showing that the item is inauthentic as provided by a known and established
authority that is recognized by Khaas Art.
This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect for a period of one year from
the date of purchase of the original artwork from Khaas Art, so long as the following
conditions have been satisfied:
- Only the actual buyer (as registered with Khaas Art, or as evidenced by payment
receipts) has made the claim. The benefit of the claim is not assignable to any
subsequent owners or others who may acquire or have an interest in the original
artwork
- The item is returned in the same condition that it was delivered, which will be
determined by Khaas Art
- The item was indisputably purchased from Khaas Art
- At the time of the sale, there were techniques available, and it was not unreasonable
or impractical for Khaas Art to employ such techniques, which could have determined
that the artwork was not authentic.
