RETURNS POLICY NOTICE (USA)
Our largest market outside of Scotland is the USA. So, the two most important consumer protection laws for online shopping in the U.S.A. are the Mail/Telephone Order Rule & the Fair Credit Billing Act.
While we are governed by consumer laws in Scotland, we will nevertheless always attempt to satisfy customer expectations in the USA.
Mail/Telephone Order Rule
Goods should be delivered within certain time periods or penalties could be issued from the Federal Trade Commission. The rule applies when orders are made online, by mail, or by telephone.
Graham Harris Graham – Fine Art Photography will attempt to satisfy the delivery date advertised or within 30 days if no date is provided. If we are unable to deliver by the required date, we will provide you notice so that you can choose to:
-
cancel your order & receive a full & prompt refund or
-
permit Graham Harris Graham – Fine Art Photography to deliver at a later date
Fair Credit Billing Act
The Act gives you certain rights if there is an error or dispute relating to your bill.
-
If there is an error on your statement, you can withhold payment for the disputed amount while you notify the creditor (Your credit card provider, not Graham Harris Graham – Fine Art Photography). You can withhold payment when your bill contains a charge for the wrong amount, for items you returned or didn't accept, or for items not delivered as agreed.
-
Notify the creditor (Your credit card provider) of the error promptly, no later than 60 days after the first bill on which the error appeared. Put it in writing. Describe the error clearly. Include your name, address & credit or charge card number. Send your notice to the address on the creditor's statement for billing inquiries.
-
After you send the notice, the creditor (Your credit card provider) must give you a written acknowledgment within 30 days & must resolve the error within 90 days.
A federal law, which dates back to 1972, introduced the 3-Day Cooling Off Rule. It does NOT apply to the purchase of items sold online. It only applies when a company is selling something that costs $25 or more at a location other than its regular place of business. However, arts or crafts purchased at a fair, shopping mall, civic center, or school are exempt.
Nevertheless, Graham Harris Graham – Fine Art Photography will endeavour to work with you if in the unlikely event you are dissatisfied after your purchase so long as it is within a reasonable amount of time. We will work to resolve problems on a case by case basis.
