If no such action is taken, we shall not be obliged to accept any rejection of the products at a later date.
If you have not received the entire order as detailed in the order confirmation email sent to you when an order is received, please email us.
Your statutory rights are not affected.
Please note that if, for any reason, you wish to return a product bought from us you may cancel your order within three (3) days after delivery (starting the day after you receive the products). To exercise this right you must give us notice by email before the end of the three day period and you must return the products to us in accordance with the steps for return set out below. Your cancellation right applies to any products you order from us.
Should you wish to cancel your order before it has been dispatched, please email us. Please provide your customer order number and the date of your order in this email.
Orders are generally processed promptly so we may have already dispatched your order. If this is the case, once you receive the prints you will have to return them to us in accordance with the following returns procedure, which also applies generally to products which you have received and you would like to return:
Returns – Step 1.
Email us within the above time limits. Please provide full details of the customer order number and the prints which are being returned. We will then email you with a returns number and Returns Form. Any notice given by you after the time limits shall not be effective to entitle you to return your products or receive a refund. Please note that we cannot accept returned prints which have been damaged or personalized. Specifically, prints which have been damaged during your handling of them (with fingerprints, smudges, etc.) can not be refunded, so please read and follow the Handling and Framing guidelines before you unpack your print.
Returns – Step 2.
Once you have contacted us and have a returns number, please complete the Returns Form we have provided, including a brief description of the print(s) being returned, original customer order number and returns number. Please retain the Customer Copy of the Returns Form for your records.
Returns – Step 3.
Please repackage the print in the same way we packaged it originally (please use clean, dry hands, avoid touching the front of the print and take care not to use adhesive tape on the print itself; instead, use the tape on the acid-free lining paper or protective archive sleeve).
If you have questions please send us an e-mail – we will be happy to advise.
Return the print(s), properly and securely packaged, to the following address by recorded delivery:
Sjoukje Bierma, Kanaalstraat 149a-2, Amsterdam 1054XD, The Netherlands.
You must take reasonable care to ensure that the returned print(s) are received by us and are not damaged in transit, bearing in mind the nature and value of the package.
Please note that we accept no liability if you return prints by any method other than a recorded delivery method (one that requires a signature upon receipt). In any event, Sjoukje Bierma accepts no liability in respect of returned products unless and until such returned products have been received by us in their original condition and in their original packaging, and which we reasonably believe have not been used.
Please make sure that the returned package is properly secured, that you have enclosed the necessary Returns Form and the original dispatch note which was included in the delivery to you.
You must retain the recorded delivery receipt for your own purposes in order to provide proof to us that you have returned the products by recorded delivery. This will be required by us only in the unlikely event that the products are not successfully returned despite being sent by recorded delivery.
Returns – Step 4.
After the returned items have arrived at our address, they will be examined and the appropriate refund will be calculated as follows:
If there is an error on our part or because any print is damaged or defective, you are entitled to reject the products and we will refund you:
the price you paid for the products which you have returned to us (inclusive of the initial delivery charge, or if part of a larger order, the average per item delivery charge); and
the return recorded delivery costs for the return carriage of the product from the original delivery point to us (provided that you provide us with a copy of a valid till receipt indicating such return recorded delivery costs).
In all other instances, if you return prints in accordance with our above returns procedures then we will refund you the price you paid for the print(s) that you have returned to us, but we will not refund the initial delivery charge or the return delivery costs for the return carriage of the products to Sjoukje Bierma.
Please note that we cannot accept returned prints that are not in their original condition and in their original packaging. In such circumstances, no refund will be available, and you will be responsible for arranging for such products to be returned to you within 28 days of our notification to you that we will not process a refund in respect of such products.
Returns – Step 5.
We will process the returned print(s) and any applicable refund within 5 working days after our receipt of the prints.
We will notify you by email when your refund has been processed.
We will refund any such applicable refund by crediting your credit/debit card (as applicable).
Your statutory rights remain unaffected by our Cancellation and Returns Procedures.
