Art2Rent Terms and Conditions

01 In this document the term work of art refers to a photo, an original or reproduction painting, engraving, etching or a signed limited edition print.

02 No variation of the terms and conditions set out here will be effective unless agreed in writing by both parties. In the event of any conflict between these terms and conditions (including those relating to the time of payment) and those issued or submitted by the Client and in the absence of any contrary agreement in writing these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

03 Works of art are supplied on loan and no property or copyright in any work of art passes to the Client either on submission of the work of arts or on the grant by Island of Art or reproduction rights for any work of art. No copy of any work of art may be made by any means or in any medium whatsoever without Island of Art's prior written consent.

04 The rental agreement lists all the work of arts delivered to the Client. The works of art are presumed to have been received in good condition unless the Client notifies Island of Art in writing of any discrepancy or damage within 3 days of receipt.

05 The rental fee does not cover the cost of insurance, the delivery and/or collection of the work(s) of art; these expenses are borne by the client. We offer a Picture Hanging Service, please contact us for further details.

06 The works of art must be returned by the stated return date in the Rental Agreement unless an extension of the loan period has been agreed in writing. If the Client holds work of arts beyond this date, he will be liable to a rental fee as stated in the Rental Agreement per work of art per week or part of a week until they are returned.

07 The works of art are the Client's responsibility from the time the Client receives them until they have been received back by Island of Art. The Client shall immediately inform Island of Art in writing of any known loss or misuse of damage to the works of art while in the Client's possession. If a work of art is not returned within 12 weeks of the stated return date in the Rental Agreement, Island of Art may at its sole discretion presume it to be lost.

08 The client shall be liable to pay Island of Art compensation fees as stated in the Rental Agreement in respect of each work of art lost or damaged. Island of Art reserves the right to specify in writing to the Client at the time of the loan a different compensation figure for loss or damage to certain work of arts. Payment of any compensation fees does not give rise to any rights in any work of art. These figures have been assessed by Island of Art and are a genuine pre-estimate of the loss which would be suffered if such a work of art were to be lost or damaged. The Client is required to provide evidence of adequate insurance cover for the total value of the works of art loaned.

09 A lost work of art which is later found must be returned to Island of Art immediately. If it is undamaged, Island of Art will refund the compensation paid by the Client less any rental fee due under clause 5 above.

10 Return shipments of works of art must be suitably packaged in stiff cardboard or plastic and sent by any means affording proof of delivery together with an Advice Note listing the works of art.

11 If Island of Art's invoice is not paid in full within 30 days of issue, Island of Art may charge interest on the overdue payment at 2.5% per month or part of a month.

12 While Island of Art has taken reasonable care to correctly identify, size, caption and orientate the works of art, it does not accept any liability for loss or damage incurred by the Client or any third party caused by any errors.

13 All forms of electronic copying, reproduction, publication, transmission, and/or storage of a work of art are prohibited without the express prior written consent of Island of Art.

14 The Client shall be completely responsible during rental term for loss of or damage to said property from whatever cause, including fire, theft or accident. Frames may not be painted or altered. Works of art may not be painted or altered. Works of art may not be transferred to another person's care.

15 The Client's liability for damaged, loss, or stolen property is the full purchase price of the work to be paid in full to Island of Art.

16 Rented works of art are the property of Island of Art.

17 Rented works of art can not be exhibited in public without written approval of Island of Art Ltd.
