SCOPE: These general terms and conditions of sale apply to all sales concluded by the Galerie Le Coin des Arts, operated by Thaddée Poliakoff Fine Art, a SARL (French limited liability company) with share capital of €10,000, registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 790 730 709, whose registered office is at 95, rue de Seine, 75006 Paris (intra-community VAT number: FR06790730709), with customers wishing to purchase the works offered for sale on the website www.lecoindesarts.com or in its galleries (6, rue de l'Échaudé, 75006 Paris, and 53, rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris).
CONDITION OF WORKS: Works are sold in the condition in which they are found at the time of sale. It is your responsibility to examine them before purchase, either in the gallery or from their description and photographs, and to ask us about their characteristics and any restoration; a detailed condition report and additional photographs can be sent to you on request before you place an order.
Most of our works are several decades old and have had several owners. They may therefore show signs of their age, history or technique, which do not constitute defects provided they are mentioned in the description or visible in the photographs, in particular:
Relining, lining, marouflage, cradling and all similar operations are conservation measures and cannot under any circumstances be regarded as defects affecting the sale. Colours in the photographs published on the website may differ slightly from those of the work depending on the screen used. Unless otherwise stated in their description, works are sold unframed.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND COPYRIGHT: Only ownership of the physical work is transferred to you. The sale does not under any circumstances entail the transfer of any intellectual property rights or copyright.
GUARANTEE: All the works we offer are guaranteed authentic and come with a certificate of authenticity; for works valued at less than €300, a certificate is issued on request. Our descriptions, certificates and invoices are drawn up in accordance with French Decree no. 81-255 of 3 March 1981 on the prevention of fraud in transactions involving works of art and collectors' items.
PRICES: All prices are stated in euros (EUR), inclusive of VAT. Depending on the work, they are subject either to the VAT margin scheme or to the reduced VAT rate of 5.5% applicable to works of art; the scheme applied is shown on the invoice. Sales shipped outside the European Union (exports) are exempt from VAT, as are intra-community sales to businesses established in another Member State holding a valid intra-community VAT number. Prices may be changed at any time; the applicable price is the one displayed when the order is placed. Payments are accepted in euros only.
AVAILABILITY: As most of our works are unique pieces or printed in limited editions, and are also displayed in our galleries, a work ordered online may occasionally no longer be available. In this case, we will inform you as soon as possible and refund all sums paid, including delivery charges, within 14 days at the latest. If you wish, we can also suggest an equivalent work.
PAYMENT METHODS IN THE GALLERY (6, rue de l'Échaudé or 53, rue de Turenne):
PAYMENT METHODS ON THE WEBSITE:
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP: The work becomes your property only once the price has been paid in full, in accordance with French Law no. 80-335 of 12 May 1980 on retention of title clauses.
LATE PAYMENT: If you are a business buyer, any late payment shall automatically give rise, without any reminder being necessary, to late-payment interest at the rate applied by the European Central Bank to its most recent refinancing operation plus 10 percentage points, together with a fixed recovery fee of €40 or, where actual costs are higher, additional compensation upon presentation of supporting documents. If you are a private customer, any late payment shall give rise, once a formal notice has gone unanswered, to interest at the statutory interest rate in force.
NON-PAYMENT – TERMINATION OF THE SALE: If the price or any additional charges remain unpaid within 15 calendar days of the invoice date, or by the payment date stated on the invoice, or, where a payment schedule has been agreed with us, by the due date of any of the scheduled instalments, we may terminate the sale automatically once a formal notice to pay has remained unanswered for 15 days. If a deposit has been paid, it shall be retained by us as fixed compensation for the work being reserved and the costs incurred. Conversely, if, after a deposit has been paid, we were unable through our own fault to deliver the work to you, we would refund the deposit and pay you compensation of an equivalent amount.
DELIVERY & INSURANCE: All our shipments are sent by DHL Express, signed for on delivery and with a tracking number. The work is packed to measure within 1 to 2 working days of receipt of payment, then delivered within 1 to 3 working days depending on the destination (sometimes longer outside the European Union, due to customs). Collection from the gallery is free of charge. Where the work is being custom framed (average lead time of 10 days) or restored at your request, the delivery time is extended accordingly; you will be informed of it before confirming your order. Where no delivery time is stated, the work will be delivered within 30 days of the order at the latest (Article L216-1 of the French Consumer Code).
Free delivery from €1,200, worldwide; below that amount: €25 up to €250, €45 from €251 to €1,199. These charges include packaging and insurance covering the value of the work (invoice amount) against theft and damage. Glazed, heavy or bulky works are subject to a quotation.
IMPORTANT: On delivery, check the condition of the parcel before signing the delivery note. If the parcel appears damaged, make specific reservations with the courier (for example "crushed box" or "dented corner"), take photographs and notify us within 48 hours at info@lecoindesarts.com, with photographs: this deadline is required for the transport insurance to apply. Risk passes to you when you, or a third party designated by you, take physical possession of the work (Article L216-4 of the French Consumer Code).
CUSTOMS: For deliveries outside the European Union, customs duties and import taxes may apply. Set by the authorities of the destination country, they are payable by the buyer and are paid directly to DHL Express, which will assist you with customs clearance. We remain available to liaise with DHL Express if needed.
CLAIMS: Any delivery error or any defect not mentioned in the description of the work must be reported to us by e-mail at info@lecoindesarts.com within 14 days of receipt, with photographs (for transport damage, see "Important" above). Our works, often several decades old, may show signs of age (foxing, yellowing, slight creases, minor restoration…): where described in their listing or visible in the photographs, these do not constitute a defect. If the error or defect is attributable to us, return costs are borne by us and, at your choice, we will exchange the work where possible or refund it in full, including delivery charges. These provisions do not affect the statutory guarantees of conformity (Articles L217-3 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and against hidden defects (Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code).
RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND REFUND: In accordance with Articles L221-18 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, for any distance purchase (website, e-mail, telephone), you have 14 days from receipt of the work to exercise your right of withdrawal, wherever you live. Simply inform us by e-mail at info@lecoindesarts.com, or send us the completed withdrawal form.
The work must be returned to us in its original condition, carefully packed, within 14 days of your request. Once the shipping date has been agreed (see "Return of works" below), you may return it by post, at your own expense and preferably insured, or bring it back to one of our two galleries: 6, rue de l'Échaudé, 75006 Paris, or 53, rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris.
In accordance with Article L221-24 of the French Consumer Code, the refund is made within 7 days of the gallery receiving the work. It is made using the payment method you used for the purchase, unless you request otherwise. It includes the price of the work and the original delivery charges. Return costs remain your responsibility, as do any customs duties.
Exception: in accordance with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to custom framing, whether ordered to your specifications in the gallery or remotely, or selected as an option on the website, as the framing offered online is also made to measure by a craftsman framer. If you exercise your right of withdrawal on a custom-framed work, the price of the work will be refunded, but not that of the framing.
RETURN OF WORKS: No work should be sent back to us without notifying us first and agreeing on the shipping date together. This ensures that rare and fragile works are received safely: a parcel arriving while the gallery is closed, particularly during our annual summer closure, could not be accepted. A later date will then be set, without affecting your right of withdrawal. The work must be carefully repacked in its original packaging, or failing that in equivalent packaging, following the instructions we will send you. Works damaged or soiled through your fault will not be accepted.
GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
All our sales are governed by French law, regardless of your country of residence, the place where the order is placed or the place of delivery, without prejudice to any more protective mandatory provisions enjoyed by consumers in their country of residence.
Our terms and conditions are translated into other languages for information purposes only; in the event of a dispute, only the French version shall prevail over any other language version or any other conflicting document.

In the event of a dispute, we invite you to contact us first in order to find an amicable solution. Failing agreement, if you are a consumer, you may refer the matter free of charge to the consumer mediator (see below) or bring proceedings before the competent court under the ordinary rules of jurisdiction. For business buyers only, any dispute relating to the interpretation or performance of these terms and conditions shall fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tribunal des activités économiques de Paris (Paris Commercial Court), and our liability is limited to the amount of the order.
CONSUMER MEDIATION: In accordance with Articles L612-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, if you are a consumer, you may refer the matter free of charge to the consumer mediator to whom the gallery is affiliated, after first sending us a written complaint.
