Please note that colors reproduced in the online store may differ from the color the products actually have. This is due, among other things, to different color reproduction on different screens.

VAT on art

There is an exemption from VAT for the artist's (author's) own sale of art. Art sales on novooi.com are sold directly from the artist, and are mediated by Novooi as an intermediary.

This type of turnover is exempt from VAT in accordance with the Value Added Tax Act (Mval.) § 3-7 (4): - The author's turnover of his own works of art and copyright to his own literary and artistic works is exempt from the law. The same applies to such turnover through an intermediary in the name of the originator.

For you as a customer, this means that you are acting for the originator, who is then to be considered the counterparty to the contract, with Novooi as an intermediary.

Any complaints about the works of art in the event of such sales are the responsibility of the author. Nevertheless, Novooi has agreed with the originator to assist him in relation to the buyer, so that you only need to deal with Novooi.
