[***] Terms of Consignment

 

These terms of consignment form part of, and are incorporated into, the letter recording the terms of your consignment of the Artwork (as described in the letter) consigned by you to [***] and associated entities (collectively and individually referred to in these Terms of Consignment as “[***]”). Together the letter and these terms of consignment shall be referred to as the “Agreement”. In these terms, terms with a capitalised first letter shall be as defined in the letter. In these terms of consignment, ‘you’ and ‘your’ shall mean the consignor, or if the consignor consigns the Artwork to [***] as agent for the owner of the Artwork or someone acting as agent for the owner, the consignor and the owner acting jointly and severally.

 

1. Estimate of Value: Any oral or written estimate of value given by [***] before a sale is a statement of opinion genuinely held by it and not a statement of fact. You may not rely upon it as a prediction of the sale price or a valuation of the Artwork, and [***] may revise it at any time in its sole discretion.

 

2. Photographs and Illustrations: [***] shall have the absolute right (on a non-exclusive basis) to photograph the Artwork. [***] shall retain copyright in all photographs created by it of the Artwork. If you provide us with photographs of the Artwork, please also provide any necessary image credits or confirm whether copyright clearance is necessary.

 

3. Rescission: [***] may, without prior notice to you, rescind a sale where it reasonably believes that (i) there is a material breach of any of your representations, (ii) there is merit to a third party adverse claim to the Artwork, (iii) there is merit in a claim by the Buyer that the Artwork is not as described, or (iv) there is merit in a claim by the Buyer that the Artwork is not of satisfactory quality. Within fourteen (14) days of your receipt of [***] written notice to you of rescission of the sale, and the basis therefore, you will return to [***] the full amount paid to you for the Artwork. Following receipt of such amount in full and cleared funds, [***] shall return the Artwork to you. [***] shall remain entitled to such amount if, as a result of legal process, it is unable to return the Artwork to you.

 

4. Resale Royalty: You are liable to pay the artist’s resale royalty payable in the UK under The Artist’s Resale Right Regulations 2006 (the “Resale Royalty”) if the Resale Royalty is due upon the sale of the Artwork. If the Resale Royalty is due, [***] will charge the Buyer an amount equal to the Resale Royalty in addition to the sale price. [***] will pay the Resale Royalty to the relevant collecting society on your behalf. In the event that [***] pays the Resale Royalty without being reimbursed by the Buyer, you will refund [***] for such sum promptly on request.

 

5. Limitations of Liability: [***] shall exercise reasonable care when describing the Artwork and marketing and selling it on your behalf. However, you acknowledge that [***] makes no representation or warranty, orally or in writing, express or implied (other than those which cannot be excluded by law) with respect to any of the characteristics of the Artwork, including (without limitation): authenticity, attribution, provenance, origin, condition, importance, size, quality, quantity, rarity, value, historical reference or significance, medium, material, period, culture or source, which are statements of opinion and not representations of fact. No statement of opinion by [***] shall constitute a representation or warranty upon which you may rely when consigning the Artwork to it and authorising it to market and sell it on your behalf. The liability of [***] under the Agreement for any cause whatsoever shall not exceed the Net Price. [***] shall not be liable to you for any loss of profits, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings or for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Without prejudice to the rest of the Agreement, no provision in the Agreement shall be deemed to exclude or limit [***]’s liability to you in respect of any fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation made by it, or in respect of death or personal injury caused by its negligent acts or omissions.

 

6. Payment: Any sale proceeds shall be paid to you in the currency of the sale unless you instruct us otherwise. [***] has no obligation to pay you if the Buyer does not pay [***]. [***] does not guarantee that payment will be received from the Buyer. [***] is under no obligation to investigate, prior to a sale, the Buyer’s ability to pay or the Buyer’s credit or payment record. [***] is under no obligation to sue or make other collection efforts if the Buyer does not pay. All amounts, prices, fees, expenses, commissions and charges set out in the Agreement are quoted exclusive of VAT.

 

7. Confidentiality: Save to the extent expressly set out in the Agreement, or unless compelled by order of a Court, or unless the information is already in the public domain, (i) [***] shall not disclose your identity without your prior written consent, (ii) [***] shall have no obligation to disclose the identity of the Buyer to you, (iii) you shall keep confidential any information given to you on any Buyer or prospective buyer of the Artwork, and (iv) you and [***] shall keep the terms of the Agreement confidential, provided that, where [***] represents the Artist, [***] may disclose such terms to the Artist. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause 7 shall prevent Masterworks Gallery LLC from disclosing the terms of this Agreement to comply with applicable securities laws. Masterworks Gallery LLC will use best efforts to redact sensitive pricing information and such disclosures shall only be made to the extent required to comply with applicable securities laws.

 

8. Data Protection: [***] shall deal with personal data in accordance with our privacy policy at [***]. [***] uses personal data supplied by the consignor (including your principal’s personal data if you act as agent) to fulfil its obligations under this agreement, for administrative purposes related to this consignment and to keep you informed of [***]’s activities unless you notify us otherwise. You shall inform your principal if you act as agent, and maintain all consents and permissions required for us to process such information in accordance with our privacy policy unless you notify [***] otherwise. If reasonably necessary to fulfil its obligations under this agreement, you grant [***] a general authorisation to share your personal data with third parties such as shippers, storage companies and professional advisers. We also transfer your personal data within [***]’s group of companies outside the EEA.

 

9. Miscellaneous Provisions: [***] may sell the Artwork to any of its associated companies. The Agreement shall be binding upon you and your heirs, executors, beneficiaries, successors and assigns (and principal if you act as agent). Neither you nor [***] may assign the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign the Agreement to any of its affiliated companies without the other party’s prior consent. Neither you nor [***] may amend or supplement any provision of the Agreement other than agreed in writing by both parties. The Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior transactions or understandings, written or oral, with respect thereto. If you are acting as an agent (or fiduciary) for a disclosed or undisclosed principal (or beneficiary), your representations and indemnities shall be binding on both you and your principal (or beneficiary), jointly and severally. If any provision of the Agreement is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of the Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect. In case of a conflict between the terms of the letter attaching these terms of consignment, and these terms of consignment, the terms of the letter shall prevail.
