Is the artwork signed?

My artwork is available as Signed Originals (1/1) and unsigned Art Prints (Poster Prints, Canvas Prints and Fine Art Prints). Every Signed Original comes with a unique signed certificate of authenticity with an integrated security seal, a certificate hologram tamper seal with CoA#, and a signed label that can be affixed to the back of the artwork. The document is mailed to the customer as soon as the artwork is delivered and accepted. The print has to be marked with the Certificate of Authenticity Seal and the signed label to be regarded as genuine. The system is designed to protect the security and genuineness of your artwork and reduce the risk of forgery. Please read my section on how to make the print signed here.

Can I get a custom-size print?

Yes, you can! I would be happy to work with you to create a custom piece for your space. I can also work with your budget for smaller prints.

My printing partner, WhiteWall Inc., has a large selection of mediums for custom prints. From different paper types to aluminum, acrylic, canvas, textile, and wood print. Please contact me to discuss your needs for a one-of-a-kind commission piece.

Is it safe to order from this site?

Yes! This website is a complete SSL secured site meaning that all traffic is encrypted. You can shop at www.erikbrede.com with confidence. I have partnered with Stripe Inc., a leading payment gateway since 2009 to accept credit cards and electronic check payments safely and securely for my customers. You can also use BACS – Direct Bank/Wire Transfer and Crypto.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols designed to provide communications security over a computer network and the Internet, and Erik Brede Photography uses the last TLS/SSL standard. Please note that a secure internet connection is active when your web browser address starts with “HTTPS” and not “HTTP”.

What’s the deal with Anti-fraud checking?

I use an Anti-fraud checking system before any transaction is made. The use of the anti-fraud system is for your and my safety. There must be a correspondence between the address information used when placing the order and the information Registered on the card used. If not the transaction will fail.

What’s your privacy policy?

Erik Brede Photography will never share your information with any third party. Who is a third party? Well, the first party is Erik Brede Photography. and the second party is you. So a third party is anyone other than Erik Brede Photography and you. Please read my complete Privacy Policy here.

Payment

Do you accept Checks or some other weird payment system that I like? -> No, I only use Stripe. I accept all four regular credit cards: VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, and Discover. You can also pay using Cryptocurrency like BitCoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH). Norway stopped using checks years ago so this is an invalid and outdated payment method.

Don’t like to use a credit card online? No problem! Now also accepting BACS – direct bank/wire transfer. For BACS – Just choose direct bank/wire transfer on checkout and you will receive the required bank information.

I don’t accept or use PayPal! They are not safe, accounts are frequently hacked and used to make illegal transactions, and PayPal refuses to take action. I have lost income because someone used a hacked PayPal account to order artwork from me, and the real owner of the PayPal account demanded the money back. And PayPal refused to compensate me, even though it was the PayPal system that was insecure.  

Note that your order will not be produced and shipped until the funds have cleared in my account.
