This Refund Policy applies to purchases made through the Givart platform, including:
· Acts of kindness or digital artworks funded via givart.org
· Physical merchandise purchased via shop.givart.org
· Any other services or products facilitated by Givart as a broker
Givart operates as a broker between Patrons and Givartists, and utilises third-party service providers. Because our platform facilitates giving through digital content creation, and merchandise production through external partners, refunds are limited and only available in specific circumstances. Adult accounts only: Givart provides accounts to adults (18+) only. Where a submission involves a young person, all actions and any purchases occur under the adult account holder’s profile.
This policy is intended to comply with the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986, and Givart will also comply with applicable consumer protection and user rights laws in the country of residence of each user. Where local laws provide additional or differing rights, those rights will apply in addition to this policy.
Givart also seeks to align its practices with relevant international standards, including the United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection, to ensure fair, transparent, and consistent treatment of all users globally.
NFT transactions are recorded on the blockchain and, once confirmed, are technically irreversible. This means Givart cannot reverse or cancel NFT transfers after completion.
Accordingly, no refunds are available for NFTs once a transaction is confirmed, except where required by applicable consumer protection or other laws in the user’s country of residence.
Merchandise is produced and shipped by our partner ‘Prints and Daggers’ (a sister company of Silque Tech which powers the Givart platform). Refunds or replacements are only provided if:
· The item arrives damaged, defective, or materially different from what was ordered.
· The wrong item was shipped.
· The item does not arrive within the shipping timeframe specified by the provider.
In these cases:
· Contact ‘Prints and Daggers’ direct within 14 business days at: hello@printsanddaggers.com
· Include photos and a description of the issue.
· ‘Prints and Daggers’ will facilitate a refund, replacement, or credit.
Refunds are not available for:
· Change of mind, except where applicable consumer protection laws (such as statutory cooling-off periods in some jurisdictions) provide otherwise. In those cases, users may exercise their rights in accordance with the relevant law, and instructions for doing so will be provided upon request. Buyer error (e.g., wrong size or colour selected)
· Delays outside the control of Givart or the provider (e.g., customs, strikes, weather)

Purchases made to fund pieces of Givart are treated as commercial transactions between the Patron and the selected Givartist. Givart does not accept donations and does not act as a financial intermediary for these transactions.
Once a Patron funds a piece of Givart, the transaction is final and non-refundable. By proceeding with payment, the Patron acknowledges and accepts the following:
· They are satisfied with the authenticity of the Act of Giving that the selected piece of Givart represents.
· They accept the legitimacy of the Givartist to whom their contribution is directed.
· They understand that Givart does not process or hold these funds, and therefore cannot reverse or refund the payment.
To protect Patrons and uphold trust, Givart employs several verification methods to ensure authenticity before a piece is published on the platform:
· Identity checks via Didit.me (Know-Your-Customer protocols)
· Screening against global sanctions lists via OpenSanctions.org
· Content validation through AI-based facial recognition and image scanning
· Geo-tagging, time-stamping, and minimum resolution requirements on all uploads, which Givart verifies before approval
Despite these measures, Patrons are solely responsible for satisfying themselves as to the credibility of the Givartist and the Act of Giving prior to payment. Givart facilitates connection and transparency — not trust enforcement or dispute resolution between parties.
Givart’s 5% platform surcharge is collected independently at checkout using PayPal’s BN Code-based fee-splitting system. Because this fee is processed separately, it may be eligible for refund in exceptional cases — but only the surcharge portion. The core payment to the Givartist is non-refundable under all circumstances.
If you believe a transaction has been made in error or without your consent:
· Contact us immediately at support@givart.org
· We will work with our payment provider to investigate
· Refunds are not guaranteed but may be issued at Givart’s discretion and only with confirmation and necessary approval from the relevant third-party provider.
· Givart will not issue refunds directly other than for the 5% platform surcharge when applicable.
Givart uses trusted third-party services for:
· Payment processing (PayPal, Wise)
· NFT minting is performed in-house via Givart’s own platform and infrastructure, supported by SilqueTech. We use ‘web3.storage’.
· Printing and shipping (Gelato)
· Merchandise sales and shipping via shop.givart.org (Prints and Daggers)
Where purchases or services are processed directly through these third parties, their own refund policies may apply. Givart will act as a liaison but does not guarantee refund outcomes from external services.
NFT minting is handled internally via Givart’s platform and infrastructure. Patrons mint NFTs using a voucher system. Once a voucher is claimed and minting is confirmed via their connected wallet, the transaction becomes irreversible due to blockchain finality. Givart cannot reverse or refund NFT minting fees, including those due to insufficient wallet balances or failed minting attempts.
If you have any questions about this Refund Policy, please contact: support@givart.org
This policy will be reviewed at least annually.
