Services 

Plexus Gallery, based in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, acts as a service provider, connecting the artists looking to sell their artwork (Artist), and art lovers and collectors interested in purchasing artwork (Buyer), through an online art gallery. Plexus Gallery offers a unique “view in situ before you buy” feature. Customers residing within the delivery zone can pick several works of art on the website to be delivered directly to their homes for viewing artwork on their walls and getting expert advice and consultation.

Artwork

Plexus Gallery asks artists to provide the most accurate and high-quality images of their artwork as possible and it has made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours and images of the artwork that appear at the gallery. However, we cannot guarantee that your computer monitor’s display of any colour will be accurate.

Sales Agreement

Once the artwork becomes unavailable Artist should notify Plexus Gallery and take the listing off the site.

It is the Artist’s sole responsibility to comply with Australian Tax Laws when selling work through the Plexus Gallery website.

Transfer of funds, minus the Plexus Gallery sales commission, to Artist’s nominated bank account, will occur once payment has been finalised, the artwork is delivered and the 7-day customer returns time period has passed.

Delivery

Plexus gallery offers delivery service within the Brisbane Metropolitan Area (postcodes 4000-4500).

The cost of delivery, including any art-related advice and consultation is $150 non-refundable fee. Once the artwork is purchased, the fee will be deducted from the overall price. The fee should be paid online, after booking the delivery date and filling an online form. 

If you wish to cancel or modify your booking and delivery details, and our driver has not already collected the artwork, we can refund the full amount, if you notify Plexus Gallery 24 hours in advance. After that time a fine of $25 may apply to cover administration costs. Cancellation cannot occur once your order has been collected by our driver (in this case an alteration for delivery address can only occur and the delivery fee remains chargeable).

Plexus Gallery will make 5 attempts to contact the purchaser and arrange delivery soon after payment is complete. After that, it is the Purchaser’s responsibility to organise delivery. If no delivery arrangement can be made within a year of payment, the contract is defaulted by the purchaser, the artwork is the property of the artist and no refund will be paid.

If the driver attempts to make a delivery to the destination address and no one is home to receive the artwork, a re-delivery fee may apply.
