1. Nature of our work
Artentika, a division of The Art Company AG ("ArtCo"), provides technical and forensic opinions. Every report expresses a probabilistic assessment with a stated statistical confidence. It is not a guarantee, certificate, or definitive determination of authenticity, authorship, attribution, date, or value.
2. Not a substitute
Our analysis is one element of due diligence. It does not replace provenance research, laboratory examination (e.g. pigment, dating, or imaging analysis), or the opinion of the relevant catalogue raisonné authority or attribution committee, and should not be relied upon in isolation.
3. Inherent uncertainty
Findings are statistical, may change in light of further evidence, and qualified experts may reasonably differ. No particular outcome is promised.
4. Client inputs
Our conclusions depend on the accuracy, completeness, and authenticity of the images, measurements, and information you supply. ArtCo is not responsible for results affected by inaccurate or incomplete materials.
5. No transactional advice
Our reports are not financial, investment, insurance, tax, or legal advice. Any decision to buy, sell, insure, or value an artwork remains your sole responsibility.
6. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by Swiss law, and save in cases of intent or gross negligence, ArtCo's total liability arising from any report is limited to the fees actually paid for that report. ArtCo is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit, lost sale, or diminution in value.
7. Use and confidentiality
Reports are prepared for the client's own use and may not be published or reproduced without ArtCo's written consent. ArtCo treats all case content and the client identity as confidential.
8. Governing law
These terms and any report are governed by Swiss law; the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Zug, Switzerland.
