15. We do not accept returns or exchanges for any reason. All sales are final. All Lots have been vetted for authenticity for peace of mind of the customer. So bid with confidence that you are purchasing only authentic items. We have been specializing in Pre-Columbian art since 2008 and have handled thousands of Pre-Columbian items. The only exception to this rule is if the item is not accompanied by a TL test, XRF test or carbon dating. These are real scientific methods used in the authentication of items, and we will back any items in the rare chance they do not pass any of the aforementioned tests. If any item(s) were to not test correctly with one of these methods, we will issue a complete refund after the safe return of the piece in question. Including shipping costs. We do not accept third party opinions on stone. Since opinions on stone items may vary, and there is no real scientific method for determining the authenticity of stone items we cannot accept returns on stone items. We vet these items ourselves, and sometimes may include a third-party authentication on select important stone examples for extra peace of mind for our clients.
If you have any questions about the terms of sale or about any lots, please feel free to contact us any time prior to the sale at info@minervaancientart.
