Welcome to Manholes of the World United. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the Manholes of the World United website and any purchases of artwork, canvas prints, and related products made through the site. By accessing this website or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

If you do not agree with these Terms and Conditions, please do not use this website or purchase products from it.

1. Website Use

This website is intended to provide information about the Manholes of the World United project and to offer original artwork, canvas prints, and related products for sale. You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else’s use of the website.

You must not misuse this website by knowingly introducing viruses, malicious code, or other harmful material, attempting unauthorized access to the website or its servers, or interfering with the website’s functionality or security.

2. Products and Artwork

Manholes of the World United offers canvas prints and other art products based on original works inspired by manhole covers and related artistic interpretations. Product descriptions, dimensions, colors, materials, and pricing are presented as accurately as possible, but slight variations may occur due to screen settings, production methods, material differences, and hand-finished or limited-edition characteristics.

Images on the website are for illustrative purposes. The final printed canvas may vary slightly in color, cropping, scale, texture, framing appearance, or other visual details from what is displayed on your device.

We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, or limit the availability of any artwork, collection, edition, print size, or product at any time without notice.

3. Orders and Acceptance

When you place an order through the website, you are making an offer to purchase a product subject to these Terms and Conditions. All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. We may refuse or cancel any order for reasons including, but not limited to, product unavailability, pricing or listing errors, suspected fraud, or issues identified with payment or shipping information.

After you place an order, you may receive an email confirmation acknowledging receipt of your order request. This confirmation does not guarantee acceptance of the order. A contract for sale is formed only when your order has been accepted and processed.

4. Pricing and Payment

All prices displayed on the website are listed in the currency shown at checkout and are subject to change without notice. Applicable taxes, shipping fees, handling fees, and other charges, if any, will be added at checkout before you complete your purchase.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing and payment information for all purchases. By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the chosen payment method.

If a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to a typographical error, technical issue, or supplier error, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that product, even if the order has been submitted and payment has been processed.

5. Production and Fulfillment

Many products sold on this website may be made to order, printed on demand, or produced in limited quantities. Production and shipping times are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated otherwise.

We are not responsible for delays caused by production partners, shipping carriers, customs processing, weather events, labor disruptions, force majeure events, or inaccurate customer information.

You are responsible for ensuring that the shipping address and order details submitted at checkout are correct. We are not liable for losses resulting from incorrect or incomplete delivery information provided by you.

6. Shipping and Delivery

We may ship domestically and internationally where available. Shipping availability, rates, timelines, and restrictions may vary by destination and product type. Risk of loss and title for purchased items pass to you upon delivery to the shipping carrier or, where required by law, upon delivery to you.

If a package is returned due to an incorrect address, failed delivery attempts, refusal of delivery, or unpaid customs charges, we may require additional shipping fees before re-shipment.

International customers are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, VAT, brokerage fees, or other destination-country charges unless otherwise stated at checkout.

7. Returns, Refunds, and Damaged Items

Because canvas prints and artwork may be made to order, all sales may be considered final unless otherwise stated on the website or required by applicable law. We do not guarantee cancellations, returns, exchanges, or refunds for change-of-mind purchases, incorrect size selection, or subjective preferences after an order has entered production.

If your order arrives damaged, defective, or materially incorrect, you must contact us within a reasonable period after delivery and provide your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photographs of the product and packaging. If approved, we may, at our discretion, replace the item, issue a partial refund, issue store credit, or provide another appropriate remedy.

We reserve the right to deny claims that do not include sufficient proof, are submitted after an unreasonable delay, or reflect normal variation in color, texture, or appearance inherent in art printing and canvas production.

8. Charitable Giving Statements

Where stated on the website, a portion of proceeds from eligible artwork sales may be designated to benefit homeless organizations or other charitable causes. Any such charitable campaign, percentage, beneficiary, duration, or eligibility conditions are subject to the terms stated on the relevant product page or campaign page.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, charitable contributions are calculated by Manholes of the World United based on internal sales records and campaign terms. Purchase of a product does not create a direct legal relationship between the buyer and any nonprofit or charitable recipient.
