Return and Refund Policy

Returns & Refunds Policy

Curated with care. Delivered with distinction.

At Kline Collective, we take immense pride in presenting hand-painted, made-to-order artwork created with passion and precision. Every piece is part of a refined, curated experience, and while we strive for complete satisfaction, we understand that occasionally, returns or changes may be necessary.

 

How do I Initiate a Return or Exchange?

We offer a 30-day return or exchange window from the date of delivery for eligible items. If more than 30 days have passed, we’re unable to process any returns, refunds, or exchanges.

To initiate a return or exchange, please contact our Client Care team at service@klinecollective.com with the subject line “Return” or “Exchange.” Kindly include:

  • Your full name
  • Order number
  • Reason for return or exchange

Once your request is reviewed and approved, we will share return instructions and the appropriate shipping address. Items must be returned in their original, unopened packaging and in resellable condition.

 

Damaged Items

If your artwork arrives damaged, you must notify us within 24 hours of delivery, providing clear photo or video evidence of the issue. This documentation is essential to process a replacement or refund. If this window is missed, we regret that we may be unable to assist with compensation or replacements.

 

Return Shipping & Fees

All returns may need to be sent directly to the artist’s studio or one of our international ateliers, depending on the origin of your artwork.

Unless otherwise stated:

  • Return shipping is not complimentary.
  • Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs, including any VAT, customs duties, or related surcharges incurred.
  • The item remains the customer’s responsibility until safely received by us.

To ensure the safe and secure return of your artwork, we require all returns to be sent via a tracked and insured shipping service. This measure safeguards your valued pieces and allows for full traceability throughout transit. Returns without valid tracking and insurance cannot be accepted.

Original shipping fees, applicable surcharges, and sales taxes/duties are non-refundable, except where an item is proven to be faulty or shipped in error.

 

Returns Not Accepted In These Cases:

  • You do not respond to the artwork preview email within 48 hours
  • Items are marked as non-returnable (see below)
  • Custom orders or orders that underwent a redo
  • Orders that were rejected or delayed due to inaccurate shipping details, customs refusal, or recipient non-acceptance

 

Non-Returnable & Non-Refundable Items

Certain categories are final sale:

  • Gift cards
  • Clearance, sale, or promotional items
  • Custom or personalized orders
  • Orders placed using discount codes
  • Orders with “Priority Finishing”
  • Items explicitly marked “Non-Returnable”
  • Orders involving a redo after preview
  • Orders where the customer did not respond to the preview email within 48 hours
  • Surcharges or additional service fees

 

Custom Orders

Custom orders are commissioned works based on your specifications - including size, color palette, composition, or reference images. Before production, we provide a digital mockup for visual guidance.

Please note:

  • The final hand-painted artwork may vary slightly from the digital mockup - this is not considered a defect but a hallmark of authentic, handmade art.
  • Custom pieces are non-refundable and non-returnable, including for minor differences from the preview.

 

Surcharges & Special Requests

Occasionally, additional charges may apply to accommodate:

  • Use of special or luxury materials
  • Framing modifications
  • White-glove delivery
  • Specific product changes after ordering
  • Additional production services

All such surcharges are non-refundable. We will always communicate these costs clearly and in advance.

 

How Are Refunds Processed?

Upon receipt and thorough inspection of the returned item, we will communicate our decision regarding your refund. Please note that returns will only be accepted if the item is in its original, unused condition and packaging. Returns that are damaged, used, altered, or not in their original condition will unfortunately not be eligible for refund or exchange.

If approved:

  • A full or partial refund will be issued to your original method of payment, or
  • You may choose to receive store credit, where applicable.

Please be advised that refunds do not include original shipping fees, taxes, duties, or any surcharges, except in cases where the return results from an error on our part.

 

How to Change or Cancel an Order?

Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of placement at no charge, provided that production has not yet begun.

If production has started or the 24-hour cancellation window has passed, cancellations are no longer eligible for a full refund. In such cases, a non-negotiable 20% administrative fee will be deducted from the amount paid.

As each frame is custom-made, minor changes to gallery wrap or framed artworks can be requested within 24 hours of order confirmation. These include switching between full bleed and no bleed, or changing the frame color.

Changes to frame color are free of charge as long as the artwork has not yet been framed or shipped.

Changes in size or selected artwork designs are possible before production begins and may incur an additional charge. Once production has started, any changes to size or artwork are treated as a return, and a new order must be placed.

Requests made after the 24-hour window may also result in additional charges and extended production times.

 

Artwork Previews & Revisions

Once your artwork is complete, a preview email will be sent with high-resolution photos and/or video. You will have 48 hours to respond with any requests or feedback.
Please ensure:

  • Your revision requests are clear and actionable.
  • Vague feedback (e.g., “make it better”) may delay the process.
  • We allow unlimited revisions; however, a redo is permitted only once per order and is final.

If we do not receive a response within the 48-hour window, we will proceed with production and shipping to avoid delays. Once shipped, orders are no longer eligible for cancellation or refund.

For specific requests regarding gallery wrap, frame finishes, or material preferences, please inform us during the preview stage.

 

Artistic Integrity Notice

Every Kline Collective piece is hand-painted by skilled artists, ensuring uniqueness in texture, brushwork, and tone. Slight variations from previews or digital references are expected and celebrated - they embody the soul of handmade artistry.
These natural variations do not constitute defects and are not valid grounds for return or refund.

 

Gift Cards, Store Credits & Rewards

  • Gift cards, credits, and loyalty rewards are non-refundable
  • Credits can be applied to future purchases but cannot be exchanged for cash
