Treatment of Artworks
5.1 You take care of your artwork with due care.
5.2 Following guidelines are given for correct handling and protection of the artwork:
- Do not hang a painting in full sunlight (for too long). This way you prevent it from discolouring;
- Do not place above a heat source or in a damp room;
- Do not touch the painting with hard or sharp objects;
- Do not clean the painting while it is hanging on the wall. This way you prevent it from falling on the ground and dirt is no longer your only concern;
- Use a clean cloth or soft brush that you haven’t used for anything else before. There will always be residual dirt and dust particles in a canvas that you don’t want on the painting;
- Lay the painting flat and do not push too hard, otherwise you will damage the canvas and structures;
- Do not clean the painting with water. Moisture can also damage the structures and the varnish layer;
- Make sure there is no smoking in the house. Tar from cigarettes gives a painting a yellowish nicotine deposit.
5.3 MARK.art can not be liable for damage to the artwork that arises as a result of incorrect treatment.
5.4 At your request, I will make myself available for (any advice on) restoration and repair work on the basis of a reasonable fee.
5.5 I am liable for construction errors and/or hidden defects that occur within 1 year after delivery of the artwork, on the condition that you report this in writing to me as soon as possible after discovery of this defect. A reasonable solution will be sought in mutual agreement.
5.6 If repair of the damage as referred to in the previous paragraph is not possible, I will pay a compensation that does not exceed the original sales price (including any discounts).
5.7 After 1 year after delivery of the artwork my liability expires.
