Terms & Conditions
Effective from January 1, 2026
This is an English translation provided for convenience. In case of any discrepancy between this translation and the Czech original, the Czech version of these terms and conditions (available here) is legally binding.
1. General Provisions
These terms and conditions govern the relationship between the seller and the buyer in the sale of original works of art through the website dankovar.com (hereinafter the "website").
Seller:
Dan Kovář
Chrudim, Pardubický kraj, Czech Republic
Company ID (IČO): 73824003
Email: artdankovar@gmail.com
Phone: +420 723 201 684
The seller is not a VAT payer.
2. Order and Conclusion of the Purchase Agreement
Interest in a piece is communicated by email or phone. An order becomes binding once confirmed by the seller and a deposit or the full price has been paid as agreed. The purchase agreement is concluded at the moment of this confirmation.
The seller reserves the right to decline an order, for example if the piece has been sold in the meantime. In such a case, the buyer will be notified without delay.
3. Price and Payment
Prices of works are listed on the website or communicated individually. They are final and do not include shipping costs unless otherwise agreed.
Payment is possible:
- by bank transfer based on an issued invoice
- in cash upon personal handover at the studio
Ownership of the piece passes to the buyer upon full payment of the purchase price.
4. Color Variation in Photographs
Colors shown in photographs of works on the website may differ slightly from the actual appearance of the work due to monitor or mobile device settings. The seller makes every effort to ensure photographs match reality, but minor color variations are not grounds for a complaint or withdrawal from the agreement.
5. Delivery
Works can be picked up in person at the studio in Chrudim or at the Skin and Story tattoo studio in Pardubice — always by prior arrangement.
Shipping can be arranged on request. The method, cost and terms of shipping are agreed individually. The seller is not responsible for damage caused by the carrier after the shipment has been handed over.
Non-collection or non-payment of a work: If the buyer does not collect the work or does not pay the purchase price within 14 days of order confirmation, even after repeated requests from the seller, the seller has the right to withdraw from the agreement and offer the work for sale to another interested party. Any deposit paid is forfeited in favor of the seller as compensation for costs incurred, unless the parties agree otherwise.
6. Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase. A voucher cannot be exchanged for cash or redeemed retroactively. The seller is not liable for a lost voucher.
7. Withdrawal from the Agreement
A buyer who is a consumer and concluded the agreement remotely (by email, by phone) has the right to withdraw from the agreement without giving a reason within 14 days of receiving the work.
Withdrawal must be communicated by email to artdankovar@gmail.com. The work must be returned undamaged, in its original condition, within 14 days of notification. Return shipping costs are borne by the buyer. The purchase price will be refunded within 14 days of receiving the returned work.
The right of withdrawal does not apply to custom-made commissioned work.
8. Copyright
The sale of a work transfers ownership of the physical work of art to the buyer, but not the copyright to it. The artist retains all copyright under Act No. 121/2000 Coll., the Copyright Act, in particular the right to reproduce, distribute and otherwise use depictions of the work (e.g. in a portfolio, on social media, or for print purposes), unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
9. Complaints
The buyer is required to inspect the work upon receipt. Any damage must be reported and documented immediately. Hidden defects must be reported within 24 months of receipt.
Submit complaints to artdankovar@gmail.com with a description of the defect and photographs. Complaints will be resolved within 30 days.
10. Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution
In the event of a dispute, a consumer has the right to contact the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (ČOI) as the body for out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes: www.coi.cz.
Consumers from EU member states can also use the European Online Dispute Resolution platform (ODR): ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
11. Force Majeure
The seller is not liable for delay or inability to perform caused by circumstances of force majeure (e.g. illness, natural disaster, supplier service outage) that could not be influenced or foreseen. In such a case, the buyer will be informed without delay of the situation and a substitute performance date.
12. Final Provisions
These terms are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, in particular Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code, and Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection.
The seller reserves the right to unilaterally change these terms. A new version takes effect upon publication on the website.
