AVAILABILITY OF THE PRODUCTS

In the absence of availability of a product or products, Tales Art Prints is committed to informing the Customer as quickly as possible. Availability can vary during the same day according to the level of sales. Tales Art Prints carries out very frequent updates of availabilities, but cannot be held responsible if the stock is no longer the same as that which is indicated. More precise information can be given to the Customer by telephone and email. The unavailability of a product is mentioned on the product page concerned or in the shopping basket summary. Thus, Products may appear with the mention of delivery times, such as "in stock" or "immediate", "4 to 8 days", "1 to 2 week", "4 to 6 weeks", "Product not available" etc.
​
Delivery times indicated in the product page details are estimated times when the product(s) are not available in Tales Art Prints stocks. They may thus be susceptible to variations for which the Customer will be informed by Tales Art Prints in his order confirmation in the event of a minor delay or by email in the case of a more prolonged delay. Tales Art Prints cannot be held accountable for the non-fulfilment of an agreed contract in the case of the product being out-of-stock or unavailable, of causes beyond control, of disruptions caused by partial or all-out strikes, in particular of the postal services, transport, and communications, flooding, fires and other acts of God.
ARTICLE 6 : PRICES

The prices do not take account of delivery charges, gift wrapping, possible promotional offers and personal reductions, which will be indicated before the final confirmation of the order.
​
The prices take into account the UAE VAT applicable on the day of the ordering, and any change of the statutory rate of VAT will be automatically reflected in the price of the products presented on the site, at the date stipulated by the decree of application. However, the prices cannot be modified once the Customer has placed his order. In the same way, if one or more taxes or contributions, in particular environmental tax is suddenly created or modified, whether it rises or falls, such a change will be reflected in the selling price of the articles present on the www.talesofdubai.com site.
