  Our Purpose
KiwiArtz aim is to ensure that purchasers of the art works listed on our site are totally satisfied with our products. To achieve this we have developed a range of policies which address any concerns potential buyers may have about purchasing in this way. We recognise that we will not achieve our aim without the considerable support and satisfaction of the artists who sell with us. In order to ensure that artists are supportive of our on-line shop we have developed a policy of selling only quality artwork offered in a range of prices, and to being open and transparent in our communication with them. Policies have been developed to ensure the rights and responsibilities of each party are clear. We are also open to negotiating changes in the policies if individual artists feel they do not meet their specific needs.
