Merchandise Use & Sales Policy
-
Rawry & Pohly Art Inc. is committed to supporting our partners while protecting the integrity of our collaborations. The following outlines our approach to merchandise sales:
-
Partner-Branded Merchandise
Merchandise featuring a partner’s name, logo, or other identifying marks (e.g., zoo, or aquarium branded stickers) is exclusive to that institution. For example, only ABC Zoo may sell ABC Zoo branded merchandise.
-
Authorized Third Parties
In some cases, an associated nonprofit, conservation group, or fundraising organization may be permitted to sell partner-branded merchandise. This requires written authorization from both the partner institution and Rawry & Pohly Art Inc.
-
Rawry & Pohly Sales Rights
Rawry & Pohly Art Inc. retains the right to sell all collaborative designs, both branded and unbranded, through our own channels, including online shops, art shows, and events. This approach allows us to provide flexible, no-minimum-order options on stickers, and may extend to additional merchandise in the future as logistics and inventory planning permit.
-
Unbranded Rawry & Pohly Designs
Rawry & Pohly Art Inc. maintains full copyright and creative ownership of all original artwork. Designs without partner branding may be sold or licensed to wholesalers, retailers, and third parties at our discretion.
Returns & Defective Merchandise
If a product arrives defective, please send a clear photo and description to Rawry & Pohly Art Inc. so we can assess the issue. Once the defect is confirmed, we will provide a replacement at no cost.
This policy applies to all merchandise purchased directly from Rawry & Pohly, including general designs and partner-branded items supplied to institutions or authorized partners.
Note: This policy covers defective products only. Returns for change of mind or buyer preference are not accepted.
