The Certificate of Authenticity or COA is a document issued by Artelista for every artwork put up for sale on the website. The document certifies the originality of the artworks sold through Artelista. Every time you sell an artwork, you will have to print the document and send it signed in the package with the artwork as it is explained in the shipping tutorial. In the case of prints, we issue and send the certificate directly to the customer.

The artwork is sent directly to the customer’s home according to the Artwork Shipping Tutorial requirements.

Artelista works with DHL, UPS and FedEx. We will be responsible for the shipping if we have negotiated rates for the origin and destination countries of shipment. If we do not have negotiated rates, we will give you instructions on how to proceed with the shipping.

Those shipments which are treated as exports are those shipments in which the origin and destination country do not belong to a common economic space (EU, NAFTA, etc.). In this case, the artist is the exporter and the customer is the importer. Artelista will advise you on the documents required to manage the shipment. It is your responsibility to obtain and manage the export documents.

All the artworks have an all-risk insurance issued by AXA. If the artwork gets damaged during the shipment, Artelista will pay you your margin of the selling after the payment of the insurance company.

The customer can return an artwork within 7 days after its reception. If the customer returns an original artwork, we will send it back to you at no cost. We will refund the money to the customer if the artwork is in perfect conditions.

We will send you an email when a customer buys a print. Artelista will produce the print and send it directly to the customer.

Once the work is delivered to the customer, Artelista will pay your margin the 25th of each month. Artworks delivered to the customer between the 18th and the 25th of each month will be paid the 25th of the following month. Artelista guarantees payment once you accept the artist’s contract.

Artelista makes payments in Euros.

Taxes will be applied in accordance with current Spanish regulations depending on the artist’s country of residence for artists who do not live in Spain. The artist can deduct these taxes when filling the tax return. For artists living in Spain, VAT will be applied to the artist’s margin and taxes will be deducted in accordance with current regulations.
