You may photograph or display products you own for ordinary personal, noncommercial purposes.

4. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information presented on the Site is accurate and current.

However, the Site may occasionally contain errors, omissions, historical information, or outdated material.

We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, or modify Site content at any time.

Prices are subject to change without notice.

We may modify, discontinue, limit, or replace products at any time.

Some products are produced in limited quantities, while others are made to order.

Availability shown on the Site is subject to change. Placement of an order does not guarantee availability until the order has been accepted and payment successfully processed.

We may limit quantities purchased by an individual, household, account, billing address, shipping address, or payment method.

6. Products, Artwork, and Editions

We make reasonable efforts to represent our products accurately.

However, colors may appear differently depending on your display, device, lighting, production process, materials, or printing method.

Limited Editions

Certain prints, publications, objects, or other products may be offered as limited editions.

Edition size refers to the total authorized edition described on the product page. Availability may vary as pieces are sold.

Where stated, limited-edition works may be signed, numbered, or otherwise identified by the artist.

Original Artwork

Original artwork and handmade works may contain minor surface variations, paper irregularities, marks, material characteristics, or other evidence of the artist’s process.

These characteristics are often inherent to the work and are not necessarily defects.

Made-to-Order Products

Certain apparel, accessories, phone cases, and other products may be produced individually after an order is placed by third-party production and fulfillment partners.

Made-to-order products may have different return or exchange restrictions than studio-fulfilled items. Please review our Refund & Returns Policy before purchasing.

A product is unavailable
An order appears intended for unauthorized resale

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, Refund & Returns Policy, and other policies posted on the Site, constitute the agreement between you and Stephen Tompkins LLC regarding use of the Site and purchases made through it.

Failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision.
