Authenticity Guarantee

ArtChowk provides an assurance to each purchaser of artwork from ArtChowk that each piece of art which we offer for sale on the site is a genuine work of the artist listed. All the works of art are sourced either directly from the artist or from art galleries affiliated with ArtChowk. The artworks are further screened and authenticated by affiliated experts. 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 ArtChowk is, within six months from the sale, proven to the reasonable satisfaction of ArtChowk to be inauthentic or its description as set out on the site, or otherwise, is inaccurate or erroneous, ArtChowk will forthwith refund the full purchase price and shipping costs paid by you, once you return the artwork purchased, to ArtChowk. 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 recognised by ArtChowk.

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 ArtChowk, so long as the following conditions have been satisfied:

  1. Only the actual buyer (as registered with ArtChowk, 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);

  2. The item is returned in the same condition that it was delivered, which will be determined by ArtChowk;

  3. The item was indisputably purchased from ArtChowk; and

  4. At the time of the sale, there were techniques available, and it was not unreasonable or impractical for ArtChowk to employ such techniques, which could have determined that the artwork was not authentic.
