LAGUNA OIL ART

Terms of Service

The terms that apply when you browse and order from Laguna Oil Art.

Overview & Agreement to Terms

Welcome to Laguna Oil Art! Throughout this document, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and “Laguna Oil Art” refer to Carmel Light Studio LLC. We operate the e-commerce website https://lagunaoilart.com, providing an online gallery, fine art purchasing features, and related creative services (collectively, the “Services”).

By visiting our site, browsing our collections, or purchasing an artwork from us, you engage in our “Service” and contractually agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”, “Terms”), including our posted [Privacy Policy], [Shipping Policy], and [Return & Refund Policy].

If you do not accept these Terms of Service in their entirety, you are strictly prohibited from accessing or using our website and services.


Section 1 — Eligibility & User Accounts

  1. Age Requirement: By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence. If you permit minor dependents to access this site under your supervision, you assume full legal responsibility for their actions.

  2. Account Responsibility: When registering an account or completing a purchase, you agree to provide truthful, accurate, and complete information. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and are fully accountable for all activities conducted under your account.

  3. Non-Transferability: Accounts may not be transferred, sold, or shared with third parties.


Section 2 — Handcrafted Artwork & Visual Representation

  1. Handcrafted Nature: All pieces offered on Laguna Oil Art are hand-painted original oil paintings created by artists. Because each artwork is handcrafted, slight variations in brushstroke texture, coloration, and dimensional nuances are inherent to authentic artwork and are not considered defects.

  2. Display Accuracy: We strive to display the colors and details of our artworks as accurately as possible. However, because computer monitors and mobile screens vary in color calibration, contrast, and brightness, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any color will be completely identical to the physical painting.

  3. Inventory & Modifications: We reserve the right to limit quantities, modify product specifications, or discontinue any artwork at any time without prior liability.


Section 3 — Order Placement, Pricing & Acceptance

  1. Order Acceptance: The receipt of an order confirmation email does not constitute our legal acceptance of an order; it confirms receipt of your purchase request. Laguna Oil Art reserves the right to accept, decline, or limit orders for any legitimate business reason (e.g., unauthorized transactions, pricing errors, or fraud alerts).

  2. Pricing & Currency: All prices listed on our website are denominated in United States Dollars (USD). All pricing is subject to change without prior notice.

  3. Billing Information: You warrant that all credit card and payment information you provide is valid, legal, and authorized for use. You agree to pay all charges incurred at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred, including applicable state sales taxes and shipping costs (where applicable).


Section 4 — Shipping, Risk of Loss & Transit Insurance

  1. Delivery Terms: Shipments are processed and delivered according to our published [Shipping Policy]. Delivery timelines (typically 14–20 calendar days for creation and courier transit) are estimated targets and may experience delays during extreme weather or national holidays.

  2. Transit Coverage: While risk of loss generally transfers to the carrier upon studio dispatch, Carmel Light Studio LLC provides complimentary transit protection for all artworks. If your artwork arrives damaged or is confirmed lost by the courier, our obligations are fulfilled as detailed in our [Return & Refund Policy] (offering a complimentary remake or 100% full refund upon timely notification and verification).


Section 5 — Returns, Cancellations & Refunds

All transactions and product returns are governed strictly by our [Return & Refund Policy], which grants a 30-day return window for standard paintings. Custom or bespoke commissions are subject to specific cancellation rules and non-refundable material costs as outlined in that policy.


Section 6 — Intellectual Property Rights

  1. Proprietary Content: All visual and written materials on this site—including artwork designs, images, high-resolution photographs, brand logos, website layout, graphics, text, and source code—are the proprietary intellectual property of Carmel Light Studio LLC or its licensors and are protected under United States and international copyright, trademark, and trade dress laws.

You acknowledge that such tools are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind.
