16. GALLERY

By purchasing a photographic print, the client expressly agrees to the following provisions:

When a print is sold by Magnum Photos, reproduction rights and other copyright rights are not included, nor conveyed or authorized by the sale and thus the client obtains no such rights by virtue of the transaction.

Risk and responsibility for any damage or loss of the print(s) are passed to the client upon the transfer of ownership.

The ownership of the print will be transferred to the client only if the full payment of the price stated on the invoice has been received.

In the case of a purchase delivered by hand, the transfer of ownership is concluded by the signature of the movement order sheet. In the case of a delivery, the transfer of ownership is concluded at the date listed on the delivery slip.

Once the ownership has been transferred, the client has 48 hours to report any potential defect of the print purchased. After this time, the print will be considered as being accepted as such by the client, and Magnum Photos will not accept any claim.

Photographic prints are inherently light sensitive and are therefore subject to natural processes that can change their appearance. These changes happen in the course of ordinary use and can manifest in various ways such as color shifts and fading, for which Magnum Photos cannot be held responsible.

To ensure a better conservation of the print, we advise the client to respect the usage rules in this area, notably not exposing the print to direct light, temperature changes, and to an incompatible humidity level. It is also recommended to frame the print with an anti-UV glass.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT AND WILL BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US AND THAT IT SUPERSEDES ANY PROPOSAL OR PRIOR AGREEMENT ORAL OR WRITTEN AND ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.
