THE GENERAL FAQs

Hire Availability:

 

Ravynne is currently working on several personal projects and is not taking commissions at this time.

​

​Open Edition Prints:

​

Prints are quality 'fine art' reproductions created with archival inks on matte archival paper with the superior ten-ink, fine art printer. All prints are shipped flat in acid-free plastic sleeves. While the Open edition prints are quality prints, they are not hand-signed. Open edition prints are lightfast for up to and beyond 75 years if stored behind glass away from direct UV light and chemical contaminants.

​

Limited Edition Prints:

 

Limited Edition Prints are 'fine art' reproductions of museum-grade standard. They are printed using archival pigment dye inks on the highest quality museum grade 100% cotton paper. They are limited to a print run of 1000 only in the format offered. They are often embellished with acrylics, signed and numbered (painted on) before being varnished. They are shipped flat in an acid-free plastic sleeve. 

​

Currency, Prices, and Taxes:

 

Ravynne Phelan is based in Australia, so all prices are in Australian dollars only. At present, Dreams of Gaia is not required to collect GST. All taxes or customs fees incurred by international clientele are the responsibility of the buyer.

 

Payment:

 

All international and credit card orders are processed through PayPal.com. This process is completely secure and allows you to pay via credit card and several other convenient options. This means that Dreams of Gaia never stores or has access to your credit card information.

 

Direct Debit, Money Order and Cheque payments are available to Australian clientele only upon request. Please understand that no orders are processed until payments have been received or cleared.

​

Order Processing:

 

Due to the fact that Dreams of Gaia is a one-person operation, order processing can take up to 14 days, and up to 21 days during busy periods such as Christmas. This does not include shipping times.

​

Shipping Policy:

 

International orders are shipped from Sydney, Australia, via International Airmail and will take 7 to 10 business days to arrive after the order has been processed.

 

Local orders are shipped via Parcel Post with tracking and a signature required upon receipt. Shipping can take between 1 and 10 business days to arrive. 

 

Orders are not insured unless requested, and no exchanges will be given on damaged items unless insurance is nominated and photographic proof of damage is provided within 48 hours of receipt of goods.

 

Refunds and Exchanges:

 

Dreams of Gaia does not give refunds on printed products. We accept the return of damaged prints, books and oracle decks when photographic proof of damage is provided, at which time a replacement item identical to the ordered item will be shipped. The proof of damage must be provided within 72 hours of receipt of the order. 

We also offer exchanges in situations where the wrong print was ordered by the customer, but all shipping costs will be the responsibility of the customer.

 

All sales are final. Refunds on original artwork purchases will only be accepted and processed if the artwork has been damaged during transit, and then only if the artwork has been insured for the full value of the artwork's price. Upon receiving proof of damage, an insurance claim will be lodged with the carrier. The damaged artwork and all documentation must be shipped by return mail at the expense of the client. No refunds will be given until such time as the claim has been processed by the carrier. 

​

Payment Plans - Original Artworks:

 

Several payment plan options are available on original artwork purchases. However, the payment of a 25% non-refundable deposit is required on all artwork purchases regardless of price or quantity. Artworks can be paid off over periods of one month to six months, depending on the cost of the artwork. Please understand that if you make the commitment to purchase an original artwork, a 'change in financial circumstances' does not qualify you for a full refund. Only amounts paid over the 25% non-refundable deposit will be refunded at the artist's convenience. This is to compensate the artist for potential loss of income whilst the artwork was marked 'sold' and made unavailable to others for purchase..

​

Wholesale:

 

Unfortunately, due to a lack of demand, Ravynne does not offer wholesale except on a case-by-case, store-by-store basis. If you are a retail store and wish to buy wholesale, please contact Ravynne with your query.

Copyright Infringement:

Compliance at this point is greatly appreciated, and no further action will be taken if compliance is given.

Infringements on Facebook will not be contacted due to the high incidence of aggression often received when a polite request is made, and the ability for images to be shared. Infringements on Facebook will be reported immediately. No warning will be given.
 

eBay auction of fraudulent derivative products will be ended immediately through the eBay Vero program. No warning will be given.

Those who fail to comply with the informal cease and desist request will then face other actions, such as being reported to their webhost and finally legal action through the courts. Those found to be guilty of copyright infringement will be liable for all court fees and compensation.
