Sale and Purchase
- You agree to pay the price advertised for the artwork or product as found on the Site (“the Price”). Paintings sold are accompanied by a purely complimentary custom black wooden or synthetic frame. Moda Ventures Pte Ltd reserves the right to furnish you with a frame of a different make and/or colour should a black wooden or synthetic frame not be available.
- Payment of the Price shall be by credit/debit card, paypal, or bank transfer, in Singapore Dollars only.
- Upon receipt of payment, Moda Ventures Pte Ltd will contact the overseas art gallery or galleries to mark the artwork or product as sold, and to arrange for the artwork or product to be delivered to the delivery address stipulated by you, or to the premises of Moda Ventures Pte Ltd for quality assessment, framing, re-packaging, and onward delivery to the delivery address stipulated by you (as the case may be).
- Legal title of the artwork or product shall pass to you only upon delivery of the artwork or product to your stipulated address.
Availability of Artwork or Product
- As artworks and products featured on the Site may also be concomitantly purchased by buyers at the physical art gallery or galleries overseas, it is possible that a situation may arise where Moda Ventures Pte Ltd receives the payment of the Price from you for the artwork or product, but may be unable to deliver the said artwork or product because it has already been sold by the art gallery or galleries to another customer. In such event, Moda Ventures Pte Ltd will contact you to inform you of the same, and arrange to effect full refund of the Price paid, and shall bear no liability for any damage, loss, cost, expense, or compensation, save for the refund of the payment made by you to Moda Ventures Pte Ltd for the Price.
Delivery
- No delivery charge is payable for delivery of artwork or product to an address in Singapore. Delivery charge is payable for delivery of artwork or product to an address outside Singapore. Delivery charges vary depending on the destination address. The delivery charge will be in addition to the Price. You agree to pay the delivery charge as stated on the payment page.
- Delivery may be made at your stipulated address on weekdays as well as on weekends. If delivery is made to the stipulated address, and you are not present to take delivery, you agree that whoever is present at the stipulated address may take delivery of the artwork or product. If there is no one present to take delivery of the artwork or product when delivery is made to the stipulated address, you agree that leaving the artwork or product at or within the vicinity of the front door of the stipulated address shall constitute valid delivery and acceptance of the artwork or product. Should your artwork or product go missing or become damaged after delivery of the same, Moda Ventures Pte Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives shall bear no responsibility for the same, nor shall be held liable in any regard.
- Delivery to locations in Singapore may take 4 to 16 weeks. Delivery to locations outside Singapore may take longer. In any event, Moda Ventures Pte Ltd makes no guarantee, warranty, or promise as to time of delivery but shall strive to make delivery as early as possible after payment is received. If it is not feasible for delivery to be carried out within 16 weeks due to events outside the control of Moda Ventures Pte Ltd (e.g. such as state pandemic laws, logistics or supply chain disruptions, discontinuation of service by artist, issues with overseas partner galleries etc), Moda Ventures Pte Ltd will inform you of the inability to proceed with the delivery, and refund you the payment made, thereby terminating any contract between you and Moda Ventures Pte Ltd. In such event, Moda Ventures Pte Ltd shall not be liable to you for any damage, loss, cost, expense, or compensation, save for the refund of the payment made by you to Moda Ventures Pte Ltd for the Price.
Differences, Damage and Defects
- The look and colour of artworks and products may differ slightly from the photographs of the artworks and products as featured on the Site due to various reasons, including but not limited to, the nature of photographic capture, the nature of the viewing screen on your device etc. Moda Ventures Pte Ltd shall not be liable for any difference or perceived difference and shall bear no responsibility for the same. You shall not be entitled to reject delivery or seek refund of the Price and delivery charge on this basis. Certain artworks and products may have more than one copy executed by the same artist. The artwork or product delivered to you may therefore differ from the one that is featured on the Site.

- Moda Ventures Pte Ltd and its partner galleries and logistics vendors shall strive to take the best possible care of the artwork and/or product when it is being shipped and transported from the origin gallery to your stipulated delivery address. If you take delivery of an artwork or product that is damaged or defective, and we are able to ascertain that the damage or defect was due to no fault of your own, we will either refund you the Price and delivery charge or provide you with a replacement artwork or product of equivalent price at your option. Save for situations provided for herein, Moda Ventures Pte Ltd reserves the right not to make refunds to you once payment has been made.
