Products sold by the Seller

For each Product order received by the Buyer, Studio will receive from the Seller a commission of an amount defined in the paragraph “Sales commissions”, plus shipping and VAT. For each Product order received by the Buyer, Studio will withhold a commission of an amount defined in the “Sales Commissions” section, plus VAT (if due) from the published price, net of shipping and insurance costs.

Studio will transfer to the Seller the total amount of the order minus the commission after confirmation of receipt of the order by the Buyer and once the withdrawal period has passed. Payment will be made to the Seller’s bank account indicated on his account. If the Buyer has not confirmed receipt of the Product and if the Seller has not received a dispute within the time limit set for the Buyer to make the complaint, and no other information is available from the delivery person or customs services, then the product will be considered received 45 days after the actual shipment date.

To ensure the Sellers’ compliance with anti-corruption laws and to verify their probity and integrity, in particular to prevent identity theft, tax fraud, money laundering and the financing of terrorism, Studio Artnuances asks Sellers to provide a certain amount of data in order to receive payment for the sale of Sellers. This is mandatory for transactions over € 50 or equivalent in another currency, and can be requested from the first sale, depending on the seller’s country.
