Internet Purchasing
When you purchase items on this site you can be assured that we are using the most advanced methods possible to protect the integrity of our security.

To this end we have engaged the services of Eway who are Australia's leading credit card purchase gateway. Whilst actual orders are taken on this site, the processing and authorisation of credit card takes place on Eway's own secure servers. Your credit card details are not stored on this site in any form and are never actually visible to us, even through Eway. All we ever see are your customer details, the order details and whether the card was authorised or not.

You may buy through this site in the full knowledge that all possible precutions have been taken to keep your important electronic identity safe from pring eyes.

One other aspect on online purchasing by credit card is that you are protected from unscrupulous dealers by the cards' own policies. If goods are not delivered, but are charged for, your credit card company will refund the money to you and pursue the dealer to recoup the cost. This is one of the reasons that we use Insured Airmail for deliveries so that we have a tracking number for all shipments in the unlikely event of a delivery being mislaid.


Some Other Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is a Limited Edition Print? A: A Limited Edition means that there will never be any more than a certain number of prints sold. If an Edition sells out then no more will be sold, however it is possible that an existing owner might consider selling their print on a private basis. We can broker such purchases by contacting existing owners on behalf of a prospective buyer.
Q: How are my prints delivered? A: All prints are securely packaged and delivered by Australia Post. Limited Editions are also fully insured.
Q: What happens if the print arrives damaged? A: All prints are packed carefully, but in the unlikely event of damage occuring during transit, the print will simply be replaced at no cost to the buyer.
Q: How long will my order take to arrive? A: Allow 4 weeks for the print to be created and shipped. Normally delivery will not take that long, but there is no way of accounting for any shipping and customs delays which are out of our control.
Q: How long do these prints last? A: Most current high quality photographic papers are capable of lasting many lifetimes. In practical terms, the print will last almost indefinitely if it is properly framed and displayed.
Q: Will the print fade in the sun? A: Yes, as will all art. The print should be correctly framed and displayed in normal, subdued light for maximum life.
Q: Is the print framed? A: No, framing is not included. Personal tastes vary greatly in matte colour and frame colour so it is best for the customer to choose their own frames.
Q: Can the print be supplied framed? A: Yes, please contact us for advice on framing.
Q: Can I have a print made in a different size to those listed? A: Yes, there may be a small surcharge for non-standard sizes but it can certainly be done. Please contact us for more details.
Q: What can I do if my print becomes damaged in the future? A: We want your enjoyment of your print to extend over many, many years. If your print gets subsequently damaged, for any reason, you can return the damaged one and buy a new copy of the same numbered image for a modest re-print fee.
