All shipments are handled by the logistics partner Convelio, a specialist in fine art transportation.

Insurance is mandatory for every shipment to protect the work for the entire duration of transport.
Shipping, insurance, customs clearance and any installation or white glove delivery fees are borne exclusively by the client.
Tailored services (white glove delivery, on-site installation, coordination) may be offered upon request and will be subject to separate quotation and invoicing.

Delivery times are indicative and may vary depending on the destination, the nature of the work and the level of service selected. Yiile cannot be held liable for delays attributable to the carrier, customs procedures or force majeure events.

In the event of:

Claims will be processed in coordination with Convelio and the insurer and may lead, as applicable, to restoration, replacement (where possible), or compensation in accordance with the insurance conditions.

9. Withdrawal Right and Returns

Given the unique and artistic nature of the works, and the high level of customisation possible, all sales of original artworks, bespoke works, signed editions, digital works and NFTs are considered final.

No statutory withdrawal right applies to bespoke or customised orders (tailored pieces, private commissions, specific creations).
No returns or exchanges are accepted, except in the case of a major defect or proven damage occurring during transport, duly documented and validated under the claims procedure.

The terms of each performance (duration, format, artist fee, logistics, video/photo recording, potential broadcasting) are defined in advance within a contract between Yiile and the client.
