You may not represent otherwise to anyone, directly or indirectly.

Purchases. Except to the extent we agree otherwise in a separate written agreement with you, these Dealer Terms will govern any purchase you make from us other than as a retail customer, whether you make the purchase on or through or in connection with the Site, or in person, or by phone, email, text or any other means.

Dealer Pricing. Dealer pricing is usually, but not always, 50% of the non-discounted price we offer to our retail customers. The actual price to you of a product you purchase might not appear on any Site catalog page, but will be shown in your shopping cart. Shipping, insurance and taxes, if applicable, are additional.Because of custom orders, shipping charges, and other factors, the final invoice for a sale may be different than the original invoice provided to you on the Site. When this occurs, we will contact you by phone or email with the final invoice before processing the order and credit card or other payment. DEALER PRICING IS CONFIDENTIAL AND MAY NOT BE DISCLOSED BY YOU EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY FOR YOUR INTERNAL OPERATIONS OR USE OF ACCOUNTING, CONSULTING OR LEGAL SERVICES, OR IN RESPONSE TO REQUESTS OF GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES OR SUBPOENA.

Minimum Purchase Requirement. In every calendar year in which you are a Dealer, you are expected to purchase Fine Art Publishing Products having in aggregate, after discounts and returns, a total wholesale sales price of $500 or more, exclusive of taxes, insurance and shipping. Failure to complete such purchases during the calendar year will result in the termination of your status as a Dealer. Neither you nor any affiliate may apply or reapply to be a Dealer within twelve months after any such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are made a Dealer for the first time in the last three months of calendar year, you will not be subject to this minimum purchase requirement for that calendar year.

If you have an account with a carrier that has appropriate facilities in Tucson, Arizona and you authorize us to charge your shipping costs directly to your account with the carrier, we will ship using that carrier whenever feasible and charge your account with the carrier. Otherwise, we will use a carrier of our choice and will require advance payment of all costs.

We will only accept product returns due to defects in workmanship or materials and will only accept those within thirty (30) days after the date we ship the product. A Return Merchant Authorization Number (RMA#) must be requested before items may be shipped back to us. Request an RMA# by calling us at(520) 274-4992. The RMA# should be placed on the outside of the box, adjacent to or on the shipping label. The RMA# is valid for 15 days. You will be required to pay return shipping costs pending confirmation of defect. C.O.D. parcels will be refused. Risk of loss shall remain with you until delivery at our facilities in Tucson, Arizona.

After receipt of a defective product and confirmation of the claimed defect, our sole obligation will be refund to you the purchase price and shipping costs you paid and to reimburse your reasonable return shipping costs. We may, upon your request and at our sole option, repair or replace the defective product,in which case we will reimburse your reasonable return shipping costs and will ship the repaired product or the replacement product to the original shipping destination at no additional charge by a carrier of our choice on a non-expedited basis.

If a product returned as defective is determined not to be defective, we will so notify you and we will hold the returned product for up to thirty (30) days pending receipt of instructions from you for shipment or disposal. Costs of shipment or disposal must be paid by you in advance. After holding a returned, non-defective product for thirty (30) days without receipt of instructions for shipment or disposal and all costs thereof, the product may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by us at our sole option without notice to you and without cost or liability.

You must pay all shipping fees associated with refusals and address changes or errors that are not solely our fault. If a product is returned due to refusal, we will credit you with the purchase price of the product if undamaged, less a restocking fee of $25.00 for each package returned that contains no more than ten items. An additional $25.00 will be charged for packages that contain more than ten items.

Termination. Notwithstanding anything in these Dealer Terms to the contrary, we may terminate your status as a Dealer at any time for any reason or no reason at all, without notice or liability. Termination will result in the loss of all privileges of Dealer status, including all licenses granted in these Dealer Terms and all access to the Dealer Portal and any information therein. Termination will not, however, terminate your obligations under the Terms of Use or any Additional Terms of Use, including these Dealer Terms.
