Yes, I know this is crazy long. Unfortunately, it has to be that way to keep things clear.

Terms of Service

Also please see the Privacy Policy regarding collection and use of personal information, both online and in the office, as well as information about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The keiken-art.com website (the “Site”) is provided by Keiken Illustrations (sometimes referred to herein as "I", “we”, "us" or "our") for your convenience and general informational purposes only. All access to and use of the website, including any use or reliance on the information on the website, is provided subject to these Website Terms and Conditions of Use (the “terms”) and by accessing the website or using the information, you agree to be bound by these terms.

Terms

By accessing this web site, keiken-art.com, you are agreeing to be bound by these web site Terms and Conditions of Use, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this site. The materials contained in this web site are protected by applicable copyright and trade mark law.

Web Site Orders

There is no such thing as perfect internet security. Keiken Illustrations takes reasonable means to keep secure by using Paypal and Square, two of the VERY safe internet payment options, which uses Secure Sockets Layer encryption technology. You place orders through the web site at your own risk (although I have NEVER had any problems reported to me). If you don't want to order via the internet, you may go to the order page, print it out and mail it in.

Keiken Illustrations is not responsible for orders lost or delayed through server downtime or lost mail. We shall not be held liable for delivery times. ORDERS SUBMITTED FRIDAY MORNING MAY NOT GO OUT UNTIL MONDAY AFTERNOON AT THE EARLIEST — LONGER (usually 2-3 weeks), IF THE ITEM NEEDS TO BE FRAMED & MATTED OR CREATED. When ordering via the order form that you mail in, we DO NOT accept credit cards, unless you would like to be billed through Paypal — in that case, an invoice will be emailed to you. The only way to pay with a credit card is through Paypal, in an email sent to you after your order has been received, or by ordering online. However, cashier's checks and money orders are accepted. Make checks or money orders payable to 'Keiken Illustrations'. Orders are not sent out until payment has cleared.

Pricing may change. Sale items are honoured on a first-come, first-serve basis. The website is updated as soon as possible when an item is sold, usually within 24 hours of the sale. If you have bought an item which has already sold out at the sale price, you will be notified so you can choose to cancel your order or apply the payment to a regularly priced item, whichever you choose. Either option will have no penalty.
