Returns

Returns and cancellations

We want you to love your artwork. Because each painting involves real artist time, ready-made works and custom paintings are handled differently.

Two product types, two policies

Most works on Budapest Canvas are made-to-order paintings. A small number of finished pieces are sold as ready-made artworks. Refund and cancellation rules differ between the two.

Ready-made artwork

  • 14-day return window from delivery
  • Must be returned in original condition and packaging
  • Refund issued after we receive and inspect the work

Custom / made-to-order painting

  • Before the artist begins: fully refundable
  • After work begins: non-refundable, since artist time and materials are committed (partial refunds case-by-case)
  • Final photo review: we adjust where reasonable before shipping

Damaged in transit

If your canvas arrives damaged, contact us within 7 days with photos of the packaging and the artwork. We will repair, replace, or refund — separate from the rules above.

Not eligible

  • Orders cancelled after the artist has begun work
  • Ready-made works returned after 14 days or without original packaging
  • Damage caused after delivery

Why paintings work this way

Each order is a paid studio brief for a Hungarian painter — once they begin, materials are prepared and time is committed. That's why we send a final photo for your approval before shipping, and why we'd rather adjust early than refund late. If anything concerns you during the process, tell us straight away.
