Along with the complete price, including that for several alternative options, you will be provided with a link to a custom page created for your intended order. You can finalise configuration of your print and pay for the order on this page only.

The fact of payment completion creates a contract between you and plainlight. to deliver your ordered print against the made payment.

Limited editions

Some prints may be offered as limited editions with only a designated number of copies being sold. This number will be announced together with the initial proposition. plainlight. guarantees that no print copies will be produced beyond this limit, less up to 5 (five) test prints which won't be subject to sale under any circumstances.

Limited editions can only be proposed for images either unavailable for sale otherwise, or offered in a different rendering, e.g., a black-and-white edition of a colour image, or an original rendering of a colour image otherwise sold in black and white.

plainlight. expressly reserves the right to restrict dimensions and/or finishing and framing options for limited editions.

Quotes for limited editions will be provided in the order of incoming request submissions, as long as the number of sold prints will stay below edition's limit. It is possible that offered quotes will outnumber the available prints. In this case, the time of actual order payment is deciding for honouring the order. Payments made after the last limited print had been sold will be immediately refunded.
