Please read them carefully before completing your purchase.

1. General

The website www.marikarene.com is operated by Marika René Art and her company Marshandmallow AB ("we", "us", "our").
These terms apply to all purchases, orders, and visits to the website.

By using the site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old or have permission from a parent or guardian.
We comply with Swedish law, including the Consumer Sales Act (KköpL) and the Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act.

2. Products

All artworks and prints on the website are created by Marika René.
Original paintings are unique and sold only once. Prints and reproductions may be available in limited editions.

We strive to display our artworks as true to the original as possible. However, colors and tones may vary slightly due to lighting conditions and individual screen settings.

3. Prices and Payment

All prices are stated in Euro (EUR) or Swedish Kronor (SEK) and include VAT.
Payment can be made using the methods provided at checkout (e.g., credit card or Klarna).

We reserve the right to correct typographical errors, adjust prices, and update availability.

4. Shipping and Delivery

All artworks are shipped within 7 days of purchase, unless otherwise stated.
Shipping costs depend on the size of the artwork and are shown at checkout before you complete your order.

We ship both within Sweden and internationally. Please note, we do not deliver products to a number of restricted and prohibited regions and countries.
For more detailed information, please see our Shipping and Return Policy.

5. Right of Withdrawal and Returns

According to Swedish law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date you receive your order, except for custom-made or personalized artworks.

For returns, you are responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to damage or an error on our part.
For more details, please see our Shipping and Return Policy.

6. Complaints

If you receive an item that is damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible and within a reasonable time and include photos and details.
If your complaint is approved, we will cover the return shipping costs.

7. Complaint Period, Guarantee, and Burden of Proof

Complaint Period
As a seller, we are responsible for any original defects in the product for three years from the date of purchase.
For goods with digital components, such as built-in technology, the responsibility applies for three years or the duration of the agreement (Chapter 4, Section 14 of the Consumer Sales Act).

Consumers must report defects within a reasonable time. Reporting within two months of discovering the defect is always considered reasonable (Chapter 5, Section 2).

Guarantees
If a guarantee is provided for a product, the consumer is entitled to the rights stated in the guarantee terms (Chapter 4, Sections 21–23).
Guarantees are voluntary and complement, but do not replace, statutory consumer protection.
Any guarantee terms that limit statutory rights are invalid and may violate the Terms of Contract Act (AVLK).

Burden of Proof
During the first two years after delivery, the seller bears the burden of proof.
This means that any defect appearing within this period is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless the seller can prove otherwise (Chapter 4, Section 17).
This rule cannot be waived or excluded by agreement. Attempting to do so may also violate the Terms of Contract Act (AVLK) and the Marketing Act (MFL).

8. Intellectual Property Rights

All images, texts, and artworks on www.marikarene.com are protected by copyright law.
No material may be copied, reproduced, or used without written permission from Marika René Art.

9. Personal Data

We process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
For detailed information, please see our Privacy Policy.

10. Disputes and Governing Law

We comply with Swedish law and always strive to resolve disputes in dialogue with our customers.
If we cannot reach an agreement, you may contact the National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN) or use the EU Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform.
The applicable law is Swedish law.
