Article 1: General Provisions
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTC) apply, without restriction or reservation, to any Buyer wishing to purchase the Works offered on the website www.notseig.fr .
An “Buyer” is defined as any individual or legal entity acting for purposes unrelated to its commercial, industrial, artisanal, or professional activities, who wishes to purchase a Work offered for sale on the website www.notseig.fr.
The sale of Artworks is open to persons who have the legal capacity to enter into contracts under applicable law.
The term “Artwork” shall mean any work of art presented on the website www.notseig.fr with a description enabling the Buyer to ascertain its essential characteristics (title, dimensions, medium, technique, etc.) as well as its price.
These Terms and Conditions are the only ones applicable, to the exclusion of all others. Upon the actual purchase of one or more Works on the websites www.notseig.fr, the Buyer will be asked to review and accept these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. The Buyer will confirm that they have read and accepted these Terms and Conditions by checking the box “I have read and accept the Terms and Conditions ”. By checking this box, the Buyer therefore fully and unreservedly accepts all of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. No sale of Artwork on the website www.notseig.fr will be considered without acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
The seller “Notseig” reserves the right to cancel or refuse, without delay, any order that it deems disputable or fraudulent and/or any order placed by a Buyer with whom there is a past or ongoing dispute of any kind.
These terms and conditions may be modified at any time without notice.
Article 2: Privacy and Personal Data Protection
Data is collected for the sole purpose of establishing a commercial and professional relationship with Buyers. Personal data is retained by the website for a reasonable period of time. If the Buyer does not provide all required information in the website’s forms (* required fields), they cannot submit the form and, consequently, cannot place their order.
In accordance with the French Data Protection Act of January 6, 1978, the Buyer may request changes to their personal data or demand to be removed from the website’s database by contacting the website via email at notseig@gmail.com.
Article 3: Prices:
The artworks are sold unframed.
The prices listed are net prices payable in euros for Buyers residing in metropolitan France, excluding shipping costs.
If the Buyer orders a Work on the website to be shipped to a country other than mainland France, the Buyer acknowledges that they are the importer of said Work.
For purchases shipped to a country outside the European Union, any charges, local taxes, or customs duties are not the responsibility of the seller and will be borne by the Buyer. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to familiarize themselves with import requirements and to declare their purchase to the authorities in their country.
Article 4: Ordering a Work
Purchasing a Work on the website involves a multi-step process:
Selection – The Buyer may add one (or more) Artwork(s) they wish to purchase to their shopping cart by clicking on the “Add to Cart” icon available on the Artwork’s detail page. Adding an Artwork to the shopping cart does not constitute a reservation of the Artwork. The shopping cart remains accessible and editable at any time while the Buyer is logged in to the site www.notseig.fr.
“My Cart” page – In the cart, the Buyer can select the Artworks they actually wish to purchase by removing unwanted Artworks and after selecting a shipping method. The Buyer may proceed with the order by clicking on the “Checkout ” icon. Please note that this action does not make the Work unavailable on the website to other potential buyers.
The shipping rate applicable to an order will be displayed so that the Buyer can accept it by selecting that shipping method.

Unavailability of the Artwork
It is understood that in the event of an online payment by credit card or PayPal made by the Buyer for an Artwork that turns out to be unavailable, the seller, Notseig, will inform the Buyer that the order cannot be fulfilled and will refund the amounts paid within 5 (five) business days, without the Buyer being entitled to any compensation of any kind.
Article 5: Payment for a Work
Payment for the work and related shipping costs shall be made at the “Buyer’s” discretion
- by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, other credit cards) on a secure website that guarantees the confidentiality and security of data.
- via PayPal, either in a single payment covering the full price of the artwork and associated shipping costs, or in four (4) monthly installments.
Payment of the total amount due—namely, the net price of the artwork and the associated shipping costs—will initiate the delivery process. The artworks for sale on the website remain the property of Notseig until full payment for the artwork and the associated shipping costs has been received.
Proof of the transaction will be recorded by the website and/or its payment system, and the Buyer will be notified of receipt of the payment via email, which will serve as proof of payment.
Article 6: Delivery of the Artwork:
Notseig does not ship framed artwork.
6.1. Order Packaging:
All orders will be handed over or delivered with the invoice serving as a certificate of authenticity and packaged in protective packaging.
Depending on the delivery method selected during the Artwork reservation process, the Buyer may have their order delivered by a carrier.
6.2. Delivery Times:
Notseig will have the Artwork delivered to the address provided at the time of order within an average of 15 days. All shipments will be made by a carrier selected by Notseig, with whom Notseig will sign a delivery receipt indicating the condition of the Artwork.
Adherence to delivery times and the preservation of the Artwork’s condition during delivery depend on the carrier. Consequently, the Buyer may not claim any compensation of any kind from Notseig in the event of delayed delivery, failure to deliver, and/or delivery of a damaged Work attributable to the carrier (as evidenced by the carrier’s delivery receipt).
Similarly, pursuant to Article 1148 of the Civil Code, Notseig shall not be liable or deemed to have acted negligently in handling the Buyer’s order if any delay, failure to deliver, and/or damage to the Artwork during delivery results from a force majeure event.
6.5. Receipt of Delivery—Right of Return
The Work will be delivered to the delivery address provided by the Buyer during the ordering process. If the Buyer notices any non-conformity or apparent defect in the delivered Artwork, the Buyer must not sign the delivery receipt and must return the package to the carrier. The Buyer must immediately report the issue to Notseig, along with all relevant supporting documentation, by contacting Notseig at the email addresses notseig@gmail.com, or by phone at (33) 07 54 50 79 87.
In this case, return shipping costs will be borne by Notseig or the carrier, as applicable, and the carrier will, at the Buyer’s discretion, proceed as soon as possible to either exchange the item for one of equivalent value or issue a refund.
If these formalities are not followed at the time of delivery, the Artworks will be deemed to be in compliance and free from any apparent defects, and no claim may be validly accepted.
Article 7: 14-Day Right of Withdrawal
Pursuant to Article L.121-21 (Law of March 17, 2014 on Consumer Affairs) of the Consumer Code, the Buyer hasa period of 14 days from the date of delivery of the Artwork to exercise their right of withdrawal by contacting Notseig via email at notseig@gmail.com to request an exchange for an Artwork of equivalent value and/or a refund.
The Artwork must be returned in its original packaging and in perfect condition within 7 days of delivery. The Artwork will therefore be shipped at the Buyer’s own risk. Return shipping costs shall be borne exclusively by the Buyer.
Artworks returned damaged or soiled by the Buyer (fingerprints or marks of any other kind) will not be accepted for exchange and/or refunded.
An exchange, subject to availability, or a refund will be issued within 30 days of Notseig’s receipt of the returned Artwork in perfect condition.
Article 8: Warranties
The Work supplied by Notseig is covered, in accordance with legal provisions, by:
The statutory warranty of conformity;
The legal warranty against hidden defects arising from a defect in material, design, or manufacture that affects the delivered products and renders them unfit for their intended purpose.
Any warranty is excluded in the event of misuse, negligence, or lack of maintenance on the part of the Buyer, as well as in the event of normal wear and tear, accidents, or force majeure; and Notseig’s warranty is limited to the exchange for a work of equivalent value or the refund of the non-conforming or defective work.
Notseig warrants that the works presented on the website www.notseig.fr comply with their descriptions and the provisions of French law.
