Ts & Cs

By visiting and using the Art Kits website you agree to the terms set out below. Please read them carefully — we've kept them straightforward. We may update these terms from time to time, so it's worth checking back occasionally.

What we do

Art Kits is operated by Artway Ltd — a family-run UK art materials business based in Melksham, Wiltshire. We create bespoke course kits for universities, colleges and art schools: carefully assembled bundles of materials, put together by people who know the products, matched to the requirements of individual courses.

Each kit is built to a specific course specification. That's the point — and it matters for how you order.

Ordering the right kit

Each course kit is built to the exact specification set by your course leader and is available via a unique link shared by your institution. Before placing an order, please ensure the following:

  • You are ordering the correct kit. Use only the link provided by your course leader. Each kit is assembled to match the requirements of a specific course — ordering a different kit, even from the same institution, may mean you do not have the right materials for your course.
  • You are ordering a kit for your own institution. Kits are produced in batches sized to the number of students on each course. Ordering a kit from another institution takes a kit that has been allocated to a student on that course. We do not permit students to order kits outside of their own institution.

Unsure about something? Just ask. We're happy to help you confirm the right kit before you buy — email us at hello@artway.co.uk or call 01225 819241.

Payment

Artway Ltd uses secure payment facilities for all online purchases. We accept all major credit and debit cards. Online transactions are processed securely by PayPal and/or Stripe. Your card details are encrypted at the point of order using SSL encryption software.

Once your transaction is complete you will receive an email confirming your order. Please keep this as your proof of purchase. We are unable to advise why a payment may have been declined — only your bank can provide that information.

VAT is charged at the standard rate. Title of goods does not pass to the purchaser until payment has been made in full to Artway Ltd.

Knives, scalpels & blades

Under the Offensive Weapons Act, it is an offence to sell knives, knife blades or any product that may be perceived as an offensive weapon to persons under the age of 18. Where a course kit includes cutting tools, these products are only available for customers aged 18 or over.

By placing an order on our website you confirm that you are over 18 years of age and can legally purchase products covered by the Offensive Weapons Act. Please do not order these items on behalf of anyone under 18.

Your right to be forgotten

You have the right to request that any personal data — such as your name and email address — is erased from our records. To make a request contact us. Once your data has been deleted, you will no longer have access to your account, including your order history.

PayPal requires the use of cookies to process transactions. Social media platforms including Instagram and Facebook also require cookies; please refer to each platform's own terms for details.

Accuracy

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information on this site — errors and omissions excepted. Many of our products are made using recycled materials, which can result in minor variation in colour or finish between batches. We represent products as accurately as we can in photography, but we are unable to guarantee exact colour reproduction across all devices and screen settings.
