10. Shipping/Packaging
Our Artwork is packed by experienced employees in our shipping department utilizing bubble wrap and foam packing inside either a double-walled cardboard box or wooden crate.  Shipping and delivery to the purchaser is procured and insured through reputable couriers, primarily United Parcel Service.  The purchaser is free to make alternative shipping and delivery arrangements to suit their individual needs, in accordance with their own means.  Expedited shipping is available for an extra charge to the buyer.  If you require special delivery services or would like to arrange international shipping, you may let us know by using our Contact Us form, which you may reach by clicking the link.
11. Shipping Charges
11.1
United States and Canada: We are pleased to provide ground service shipping free of charge to buyers within the United States and Canada. 
11.2 Shipping outside of the United States and Canada: The buyer is responsible for the cost of shipping to countries outside of the United States and Canada. 
12. Matters Affecting Shipping Schedule
We use our best efforts to ship items as communicated once we receive a complete order.  However, any delivery date we provide must be considered as a good faith estimate, since the activities of a third-party - the shipping company - ultimately affects shipping and delivery dates.  If you purchase more than one item, it is possible that we will pack and send them to you in separate containers, which the shipping company may, or may not, deliver on separate days.  If the Artwork you purchase is on public display in one of our shows at the time of your purchase, the Artwork will be shipped to you on the next business day following the end of the show.  See also paragraphs 13 and 17 below.
13. Temporarily Out-Of-Stock
Occasionally, due to efforts we make to keep our inventory low or due to unforeseen technical errors in the website, it may arise that Nature Sculpted™ finds Artwork which you have ordered and for which you have paid to be temporarily out-of-stock at the inventory level.  It is our practice to limit inventory levels by creating the sculpture within a Limited Edition series as needed.  For instance, in a Limited Edition series numbered 1/12 through 12/12, we will create the bronze sculptures in stages or groups of castings.  We may cast only 1/12 through 4/12 in the first stage, 4/12 through 8/12 in the second stage, and 9/12 through 12/12 in the final stage.  In the event we sellout the stage held in inventory more quickly than expected, it will take us approximately thirty (30) days, from molding the wax model to patina of the casting, to create the bronze sculptures of the successive stage.  To be directed to an explanation of the Lost Wax process of creating bronze sculpture as utilized by Nature Sculpted™ you may click the link.  In the event your order is affected by such an event, we will notify you by way of the email address provided by you at checkout.  We will do our best to accommodate each buyer affected.  See also paragraph 17 below.
14. Warrant and Guarantee
We warrant and guarantee that our sculptures are of the finest quality and utmost durability.  You may read the complete details of our warrant and guarantee as provided through our Warrantyby clicking the link.  We make no additional representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, in connection with our Artwork, except as specifically stated in our WarrantySee also paragraph 16 below.
15. Resale of the Artwork
The Artist has worked closely with Nature Sculpted™ to produce the Artwork with the understanding that the Artwork will be available for purchase exclusively through Nature Sculpted™ and on the internet only by Nature Sculpted™ and its Artist’s Agent.  It is the Artist’s expectation that the Artwork you purchase will be retained by you for your own personal or business enjoyment, and not for the purpose of resale on the internet.  Accordingly, you agree that you may not sell or offer to sell the Artwork on any internet based auction or other website, although no limitation in this regard is placed upon you concerning any other medium to be used to resell or offer to resell the Artwork.
16. Returns
We have not had a return as of the date these Terms were last updated.  We pride ourselves on creating and selling award-winning sculpture; works of art of the highest quality.  Unlike those who sell their works of art “as is” and without guarantee, we warrant and guarantee that our sculptures are of the finest quality and utmost durability. We inspect the quality of our Artwork   throughout the casting process.  We inspect the quality of our Artwork after casting, following the application of the patina and waxing.  We again inspect the quality of our Artwork when it reaches our gallery inventory, and again immediately prior to shipping to the buyer following a purchase.  We ensure the Artwork will display the highest quality when it arrives in your hands by carefully packing it for shipment utilizing materials that provide excellent protection during the shipping process.  Returns are subject to the details of our Warranty.  Read our Warrantyby clicking the link.
