5 easy steps to your daily painting:

1. Offer

You visit my blog daily or susbscribe to it.

2. . How the sale for the highest bid works

Every daily painting has a minimum price of 150 Euro

(in the EU: incl. 7% Mehrwertsteuer = German value added tax).

It remains available from the time of publishing on the blog www.edwardbgordon.blogspot.com

until 8 pm local time Berlin, Germany, the following day.

During this time frame a purchase option through email and a bid for the minimum price of 150 Euro or higher can be placed.

Bids are only accepted in full Euro. Other currencies cannot be accepted.

At the end of the bidding term the highest bidder receives a confirmation email with all details.

The achieved sales price (plus shipping costs*) contains apart from the painting a giftbox and protective packaging.

This is a sale for the highest bid. Herewith the buyer receives subject to the minimum price the identification of benefit. The minimum bid does in no case represent a binding price statement nor a binding offer of contract.

The bids will not be made public. A „hidden bidding“ takes place. All bids will be collected until 8 pm the following day. During the bidding term every interested buyer can get information through email on the actual highest bid. There is, however, no entitlement to receiving the actual status of the bidding.

Shall there be equal bids by more than one intentional buyer, the first bidder amongst them receives the confirmation, if this bid is the highest bid.

Bids under 150 Euro can be sent in, but do not have any claim on being accepted, or winning the sale, or closing a sales contract. They are however nevertheless legally binding.

We reserve the right to reject bids from bidders who have not yet paid within the prepayment schedule for their other paintings until these debts have been settled.

I aim to photograph the paintings satisfyingly for online publishing and according to my criteria  But colour appearance tends to vary strongly due to the many different monitor calibrations and can always only be a reference to the original.

3. Conclusion of contract

A contract is concluded automatically with the highest bidder by sending the confirmation of purchase after the end of the bidding term.

Please only bid for a painting if you can afford to pay for it.

The confirmed highest bid is an end price for the painting.

Shipping costs will be added (Point 5)

The highest bidder receives a confirmation email.

Please read the confirmation email thoroughly.

There, you can also find additional information on the right of withdrawal.

4. Terms of Payment

The sales price plus shipping costs is due before the delivery of the painting (prepayment).

The payment has to be made within two weeks after receiving the confirmation email.

The easiest way of payment is, to use PayPal. PayPal enables the payment in Euro even if you are located outside the Euro zone. Bank Transfer is also possible, but please make sure that all bankcharges are billed to the sender of the payment. We recommend paypal for payments from abroad.

Please note: Only full advance payment of the total price confirmed in the purchase confirmation is accepted.

Partial payment does not extend the pre-payment period of 14 days after the confirmation. No installments. No deductions. No overpayments.

We reserve the right to withdraw from a sale within the legal conditions of e.g. non-payment.
