The basics
About Aartverse
Aartverse is a marketplace for original, hand-made artwork. Artists register and build a profile, then submit their work through their own dashboard. Aartverse may review, curate, or feature submissions at its discretion, and reserves the right to decline to list, or to remove, any submission that doesn't meet our standards.
For artists
Registration & submissions
By registering as an artist, you confirm that the information on your profile is accurate, and that every artwork you submit is your own original, hand-made work -- not a reproduction, print, or someone else's creation. You're responsible for keeping your artwork details (pricing, dimensions, availability, and description) accurate and up to date.
You keep ownership of your artwork and the rights to it. Submitting a piece to Aartverse gives us permission to display it -- its images, description, and related details -- on this site and in our own promotion of the marketplace.
For buyers
Browsing & purchasing
Aartverse does not run an online checkout. Every purchase starts as a direct conversation, typically over WhatsApp, where availability, final price, payment, and delivery are confirmed between you and our team. Prices shown on the site are indicative and are confirmed at the time of purchase; artwork is offered subject to availability, which isn't guaranteed until confirmed by us.
Every artwork sold through Aartverse comes with a digital certificate of authenticity confirming it's original, hand-made work by the credited artist.
In person
Home visits
Select artworks can be brought to you for a home visit ahead of purchase, subject to artist and team availability. The visit fee is ₹1,000 per artwork, prepaid to confirm the appointment, and fully adjusted against the purchase price if you go ahead with buying that piece. See our About page for more detail.
Important
Sales & refunds
Once a sale is confirmed and completed, it is final: we do not process refunds, returns, or exchanges on artwork purchased through Aartverse.
We ask you to be certain before buying, and we try to make that straightforward. Every artwork page lists complete details -- images, dimensions, materials, description, and price -- before you commit, and select pieces can also be viewed in person at a home visit ahead of purchase (see above). Because that information and that option are available upfront, we expect buyers to satisfy themselves fully before completing a purchase, and treat a confirmed sale as final on that basis.
Nothing in this section limits any statutory right you may have under applicable consumer protection law that cannot be excluded by agreement.
Ownership
Intellectual property
Artwork images and descriptions remain the property of the respective artist (or Aartverse, for original site content). Please don't copy, reproduce, or reuse content from this site without permission from the artist or Aartverse.
Fair use
Acceptable use
Please use Aartverse only for its intended purpose: discovering, registering as, or buying from, real artists. Don't misuse the site -- for example, by scraping or bulk-copying its content, attempting to access accounts or data that aren't yours, or submitting work that isn't genuinely your own.
The fine print
Liability
Aartverse is provided on an "as is" basis. While we take reasonable care in how the site and marketplace operate, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Updates
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time as the site evolves. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Legal
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and any disputes arising from them will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India.
