SATISFACTION GUARANTEE

GiveAmasterpiece.com is part of Leading Edge Gifts LLC. We have been in business since 2002 and named one of Portland Oregon's Top 50 Women Owned Businesses, a distinction we have earned because we bend over backwards to exceed our customer's expectations. Our confidence in our talented artists and high-quality products allow us to offer a complete satisfaction guarantee. At the time you order, you are given the option to request a Proof of the completed artwork (recommended). If selected, we do not proceed with printing and framing until you are completely satisfied with your artwork and approve it. You may request reasonable changes as long as they are the same style you selected originally and use the same photo (for example, you can't ask the artist to create a Sketch style after he/she has created an Oil style, or you can't ask the artist to paint using a new photo after having the work done with the original photo). Our artists will work with you until you are COMPLETELY SATISFIED and in the rare case that you are not, you may cancel your order and get a full refund. Sometimes people do want to change the scope of the work a little or a lot. If the changes required will result in additional charges, we will get your approval before doing the work. After shipment, we guarantee that the artwork you receive is what you approved and that it is defect free or we will replace it. If you do NOT choose to receive a Proof, we will guarantee that the artwork is defect-free or we will replace it.

RETURN/CANCELLATION POLICY

Our goal it to provide you with an innovative product with exceptional quality and value. See our satisfaction guarantee. Because work on your order begins almost immediately, we charge your credit card as soon as we receive your order. We do realize that circumstances change so that if you want to cancel your order, your refund is dependent on the stage of completion when you cancel:

• Orders cancelled BEFORE the artist begins work (normally within 24 hours) - 100% refund.
• Orders cancelled AFTER our artist has started but BEFORE shipment - 100% of frame and shipping related and 50% of the artwork creation price will be refunded.
• AFTER shipment - there are no refunds but we will replace anything that has been damaged due to defects or shipping (for UPS/FedEx shipping methods) reported within one week of receipt.
• Any refunds will be credited only to the original credit card used when placing the order.

TIMING

We understand timing can be something that is very important to you. We offer Rush options and bend over backwards to manage the things under our control but please note that you also have an impact on timing by 1) considering the timing of our processes noted on our Timing page when selecting your shipping method, 2) supplying a high quality photo up front and 3) reviewing and approving the Proof (if ordered) in a timely manner. Check our timing page for a real time estimate of when your artwork will be done. Your order will include a date on it and we will meet or beat that date. Please communicate any special timing requirements and we will try and work with you.  See Timing page for more detail.
