Conditions Governing the Receipt of Loans

Objects lent to the William Hayes Ackland Memorial Art Center for exhibition shall remain in its possession for the time specified in the receipt, but may be withdrawn from exhibition at any time by the Director or by action of the University. Loans will be returned to the owner or lender or his or her duly authorized agent or representative. The right of the Museum to return any property or loan prior to the expiration of the loan period indicated in the receipt may be exercised upon giving due notice to the owner and/or his duly authorized representative.

Under the terms of this agreement the William Hayes Ackland Art Center will exercise the same care in respect to loans as it will in the safekeeping of its own property and shall not be otherwise responsible for said property. Objects lent to the William Hayes Ackland Art Center will be insured under a floater policy maintained by the University except in cases where the lender prefers to keep his own insurance in effect for the period of the loan, or where some other agreement in regard to insurance is entered into between the lender and the Center. Such agreement should be noted at the bottom of this page. The Center will insure loans at the valuation requested by the lender, which request must be in writing. When written notice of valuation is not given the Museum will insure loans at its own estimated valuations. The insurance referred to excludes loss or damage caused by war, invasion, hostilities, rebellion, insurrection, confiscation by order of any Government or public authority, risks of contraband or illegal transportation and/or trade. In case the lender's insurance is in effect the Center will not accept the responsibility for any errors or deficiencies in information furnished to the lender's insurers, or for lapses in insurance coverage, arising from this practice.

In the case of the death of the lender, the legal representative of the deceased should notify the Director of the Center forthwith giving his full name and address in writing. Such legal representative shall present proof of his authority, any necessary tax waivers and such other documents and instruments as the Center may require.

Conditions Governing the Receipt of Gifts:

1. All objects are received pending final decision as to acceptance by the Center.

2. All gifts regarded as absolutely unrestricted unless special exception is made by the donor and agreed to by the Center.

Unless instructed in writing to the contrary, it is understood that objects lent or given to the William Hayers Ackland Art Center may be photographed, sketched or reproduced.
