Sunday Studio Auction: Terms & Conditions

1. About the auction
The Sunday Studio Auction is run by Char Paints (charpaints.com.au) through the @charpaints_ Instagram account. By placing a bid, you agree to these terms.

2. The artworks
Pieces in the auction are studio works, including test pieces, colour studies and unfinished works. They're sold as is, and may have marks, uneven edges or unfinished areas. Each listing includes the size, materials and a description, and I'll do my best to show each piece honestly in photos. Colours may look slightly different on screen.

3. Bidding
Bidding takes place in the comments of the auction post on Instagram. Bidding starts at $10 AUD and increases in $10 increments. Bids that don't follow the increment, or that are edited or deleted, may not be counted. Bidding closes at 6pm AEDT Monday 02.11.26 stated in the post, and the time shown on the final comment decides the winner. Each bid is a commitment to buy if you win, so please only bid if you intend to pay.

4. Winning and payment
The highest valid bid at close wins. I'll contact winners by Instagram DM within 24 hours. Payment is due within 48 hours of that message, via bank transfer or Paypal. If payment isn't received in time, the piece may be offered to the next highest bidder.

5. Shipping and collection
The winner pays for shipping, which is calculated by size and destination and confirmed after the auction. Domestic and international shipping are both available. Pieces ship within 10 business days of payment. Char Paints isn't responsible for delays caused by the carrier or customs, and international buyers are responsible for any import duties or taxes.

6. Returns
Because these are one-off studio pieces sold as is, all sales are final. If your piece arrives damaged, please contact me within 48 hours of delivery at hello@charpaints.com.au with photos, and I'll work with you to sort it out.

7. Copyright
Buying an artwork means you own the physical piece. Copyright and reproduction rights stay with Char Paints, and I may share images of the work on my website and socials.

8. Changes and cancellations
Char Paints may withdraw a piece, cancel an auction, or remove bids that seem fake or made in bad faith. These terms may be updated, and the version on this page applies at the time you bid.

9. Not affiliated with Instagram
This auction isn't sponsored, endorsed or run by Instagram or Meta.
