However, any actions or claims you make regarding intellectual property rights must be made with the artist and not HRFA.
- Because all monitors are not calibrated the same, and prints do not have the same color range as monitors, you may expect that there will be some difference between the colors you have seen on your screen and the ones in the print. If a product arrives damaged or has obvious, serious manufacturing flaws, HRFA will order a replacement upon the return of the damaged or flawed item. You will be credited for the shipping cost of returning the item by USPS once the damage/flaw has been seen. HRFA will not be responsible for any costs you have incurred in buying a HRFA product beyond refunding the product cost and shipping. Refunds will only be made after the product has been returned to HRFA and if the buyer has refused to accept a reprint replacement.
