Terms & Conditions

Any order placed on the Galerie Maillard-Fouilleul website implies full and unreserved acceptance of these Terms & Conditions of Sale by the purchaser.

Because our artworks are unique antique or original impressions, availability is updated in real time. In the rare event of simultaneous orders online and in our Paris gallery at Passage Verdeau for the same piece, the Gallery will immediately notify the buyer and issue a full, immediate refund.

All Japanese prints, old master engravings, modern prints, and works on paper offered by Galerie Maillard-Fouilleul are unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic period works.

• Scholarly Cataloging: Each print is carefully described with its artist, title, medium (etching, engraving, nishiki-e woodblock print, lithograph, etc.), catalogue raisonné references, dimensions, and condition report.
• Certificate of Authenticity: An official nominative Certificate of Authenticity issued by the Gallery accompanies the artwork or is provided upon request.
• Nature of Antique Works on Paper: As original antique impressions, natural characteristics consistent with age (period centerfold, laid or Japanese washi paper texture, watermarks, margins, or noted historical restorations) are intrinsic to the print and do not constitute defects.

All prices are stated in Euros (€), inclusive of applicable French taxes under the special margin scheme for works of art and collectibles (excluding shipping and insurance fees, which are calculated during checkout).

• Accepted Payment Methods: Secure Credit / Debit Card (Visa, Mastercard), PayPal, Bank Wire Transfer (SEPA), or payment upon in-person collection at the Gallery (11, Passage Verdeau, 75009 Paris).
• Retention of Title: Artworks remain the sole property of Galerie Maillard-Fouilleul until full payment has been received and cleared.

Every print is prepared with museum-grade care using pH-neutral acid-free folders and reinforced rigid packaging:

• Geographic Coverage: Shipments are only within the European Union. Complimentary in-person pickup at our Paris gallery (11 Passage Verdeau, 75009 Paris) is also available during opening hours.
• Expense & Risk: Shipments are made on demand, at the expense and under the responsibility of the purchaser.
• Transit Insurance: Moreover, in the case of an insurance subscription, coverage cannot exceed the purchase amount of the object. Upon delivery, the buyer must inspect the package in the presence of the carrier and record any formal reservations if damage is observed.

In accordance with European distance selling regulations (French Consumer Code Articles L.221-18 et seq.), buyers within the European Union have a period of 14 calendar days from the date of receipt of the artwork to exercise their right of withdrawal without having to state a reason.

• Notification: To exercise this right, please notify the Gallery by e-mail (maillard.estampes@orange.fr) or registered letter within the 14-day period.
• Return Condition: The artwork must be returned in its exact original condition, unframed and undamaged, inside its original rigid protective packaging, together with the original invoice and Certificate of Authenticity.
• Return Shipping: Return shipping costs and transit risks remain the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Refunds are processed promptly upon receipt and inspection of the artwork by the Gallery.

These Terms & Conditions of Sale are governed by French law. Should any question or concern arise regarding an artwork or shipment, please contact Galerie Maillard-Fouilleul (+33 1 42 46 53 20 — maillard.estampes@orange.fr) so we may assist you amicably.

In the absence of an amicable resolution, any dispute shall fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Paris, France, subject to mandatory consumer protection provisions.
