If you wish to enquire about acquiring an artwork, you will be directed to connect with the relevant Affiliated Gallery.

Seema Kohli is not a party to, and accepts no liability in respect of, any transaction conducted with an Affiliated Gallery, except to the extent expressly agreed in writing.
Images of artworks are for illustrative purposes. Colours, dimensions, finishes, and other details may vary from what appears on your screen due to display settings, photography, and the handmade nature of the works.
7. Products, Store, and Pricing
The Website offers books, publications and other items for sale. We try to describe and display Products as accurately as possible; however, we do not warrant that Product descriptions, images, editions (such as “normal” or “limited” editions), or other Content are complete, current, or error-free.
All prices are listed in Indian Rupees (₹) and are exclusive of applicable taxes, which are indicated at checkout. Prices, offers, and the availability of Products are subject to change without notice. Limited edition Products are available in limited quantities and are subject to availability.
In the event of an obvious pricing or description error, we reserve the right to cancel or decline any order placed for a Product listed at an incorrect price, even after an order confirmation has been issued, and to refund any amount paid.
8. Orders, Coupons, and Acceptance
When you place an order through the Website, you make an offer to purchase the selected Product(s) subject to these Terms. We may accept or decline your order at our discretion. A contract is formed only when we confirm acceptance of your order or dispatch the Product, whichever is earlier. An automated acknowledgement of receipt of your order does not, by itself, constitute acceptance.
Discount codes, coupons, and promotional offers may be applied at checkout subject to their specific terms, eligibility, and validity. Coupons are non-transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may be withdrawn or modified at any time. We reserve the right to cancel orders where we reasonably believe a coupon or offer has been misused.
9. Payments
Payments for Products are processed through a third-party Payment Gateway. By making a payment, you agree to provide accurate payment information and authorise the charge for the total amount, including any applicable taxes and shipping charges. Website does not collect or store your payment card or account credentials; these are handled by the Payment Gateway in accordance with applicable laws and security standards. Your use of the Payment Gateway is subject to its own terms and privacy policy.
We are not responsible for any loss arising from payment failures, declines, or delays caused by the Payment Gateway, your bank, or your card or account provider.
10. Shipping and Delivery
We will arrange delivery of Products to the address you provide. Estimated dispatch and delivery timelines, shipping charges, and serviceable locations will be applicable separately and will be intimated to you at checkout. Delivery timelines are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Risk of loss and title for Products pass to you upon delivery.
We are not liable for delays or failures in delivery caused by the courier or logistics provider, incorrect address details provided by you, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Any customs duties, import taxes, or similar charges on international shipments are your responsibility.
11. Cancellations, Returns, and Refunds
You may request cancellation of an order before it has been dispatched. Once dispatched, an order cannot be cancelled but may be eligible for return as set out below.
Returns or replacements are accepted only where a Product is received damaged, defective, or incorrect, and where you notify us within [insert number] days of delivery with supporting photographs and order details. Products must be returned unused and in their original condition and packaging. Return shipping charges will be borne by the customer, in the event the return is not due a direct breach by us.
Where a return or cancellation is approved, refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 10-12 business days through the Payment Gateway. Shipping charges are non-refundable, except where the Product was damaged, defective, or incorrect. Limited edition or specially ordered items may be non-returnable except where damaged or defective.
