The following Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) set forth a legally binding agreement between you and The Rafael Soriano Foundation (the “RSF”) and govern the use of and access to information and images (the “Content”) on any of the RSF’s online service locations that post a link to these Terms including the RSF’s digital catalogue raisonné and all features, content, and other services that we own, control, and make available through any of our online service locations (collectively, the “Site”).

By using the Site, you agree to these Terms, and consent to our collection, use, and disclosure practices, as well as other activities as described in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree and consent, please discontinue use of the Site.

Changes to Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time at our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. However, any changes to Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice prior to the date the change is posted on the Site.

Your continued use of the Site following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page so that you are aware of any changes, as they are binding.

Accessing the Site and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend our Site, and any service or material we provide on the Site, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Site is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Site, or the entire Site, to users. To access the Site or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information.

If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to our Site or portions of it using your username, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. We have the right to disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.
