About This Marketplace
carmenrchiusolojr.com is an independent art marketplace founded by Carmen Chiusolo Jr. — a painter and comic artist from Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The platform was built from personal experience: a place for artists to come together, list original work, and share in a collective vision rooted in honesty, craft, and community.
Carmen Chiusolo Jr. operates this marketplace under his own name — not as a corporation or gallery intermediary — and has built it to reflect the lessons learned from his own journey as a working artist. The marketplace exists to connect artists directly with collectors, with as little friction and as few fees as possible.
Shipping Responsibility
carmenrchiusolojr.com is a listing and marketplace platform only. We do not manufacture, store, pack, or ship any artwork sold through this site. All shipping, packaging, and delivery of purchased paintings and original works is handled exclusively between the buyer and the individual artist who listed the work.
carmenrchiusolojr.com is not responsible for the shipping, handling, packaging, transit, delivery, loss, damage, delay, or condition of any artwork shipped between a buyer and an artist. Once a sale is completed and funds are received, the responsibility for safe and timely delivery rests entirely with the selling artist.
By completing a purchase on this platform, you acknowledge and agree that carmenrchiusolojr.com bears no liability for any shipping-related issues, including but not limited to: lost packages, damaged artwork in transit, incorrect delivery addresses, customs delays for international shipments, or disputes arising from the condition of work upon arrival.
Artist Shipping Obligations
Artists who list work on carmenrchiusolojr.com are solely responsible for communicating their shipping terms, estimated timelines, packaging standards, and any applicable shipping costs to buyers prior to or at the time of sale.
Artists are expected to ship purchased work in a timely manner using appropriate protective packaging. carmenrchiusolojr.com strongly encourages all artists to use insured, trackable shipping services and to retain proof of shipment.
Any disputes regarding shipping, delivery, or the condition of received artwork must be resolved directly between the buyer and the artist. carmenrchiusolojr.com may, at its sole discretion, assist in facilitating communication between parties but is under no obligation to do so and assumes no financial liability in any such dispute.

Artists shipping internationally are responsible for accurate customs declarations and compliance with export regulations from their country of origin.

Buyers are encouraged to communicate directly with the artist before purchasing to understand their specific return and refund terms. carmenrchiusolojr.com is not responsible for issuing refunds or facilitating returns on behalf of any artist.
