Loan Condition Test
Every loan transaction poses a certain risk for the requested object. The conservator of the JMW will therefore check the condition and lending ability of the requested objects before each loan transaction. This test determines if and which conservation and restoration measures are required. Furthermore, it is decided which transport specifications and exhibition conditions are to be observed.
Transport
The transport of the loans from the JMW to the borrower and back has to be done at the expense of the borrower. It is a requirement of the JMW that the transport of the loans must be handled by the company hs art service GmbH.
Insurance
The insurance of the loans is registered by the JMW at the expense of the borrower at UNIQA Kunstversicherung, Untere Donaustraße 21, 1029 Vienna.
Reproduction
Upon request and against reimbursement of expenses, the borrower is provided with suitable, high-resolution image data for reproduction. After licensing, the JMW authorizes the reproduction of the image material in corresponding publications that appear in the scope of the exhibition. The borrower has the personal responsibility to investigate and clarify the rights. It is expressly pointed out that the JMW is to be indemnified and held harmless against any copyright claims of third parties.
