and Cultural Center, Wellesley College, 106 Central Street, Wellesley,
MA 02481. All pertinent information, including title of publication,
publisher and publication date and signature must be included
on application. Permission is granted when all fees (including
those for rental, purchase or creation of photographic material)
are paid in full (if applicable). A countersigned copy of the
permission form will be sent when all of these conditions have
been met.

to this one use (one publication, one edition, and one language).
Permission for any future editions, different publisher imprints,
translations or ancillary projects or must be requested in writing

other stated in writing.
- Applicants requesting permission to reproduce photographs of
works by artists whose copyright is not held by the Davis Museum
or whose work is not in the public domain must assume responsibility
of ascertaining copyright ownership and compliance with the pertinent
copyright restrictions. The Museum assumes no responsibility for
claims against the applicants or the Museum by third parties (including
the artists, their agents or estates). Applicants agree to indemnify
the Museum and hold it harmless against any and all such claims
and cost, including copyright infringement claims arising out
of applicant’s reproduction of the work(s) of art in question.
The Museum will not grant an exclusive right to reproduce any
work(s) of art in the Museum; nor will the Museum assume any responsibility
for reproduction of the same work(s) of art by any other party.

above, will be sold/rented to the applicant only after the Museum
receives a copy of reproduction permission obtained by the applicant
from the artist, estate of the artist, or artist’s agent.
- Reproductions are permitted only from photographs or transparencies
supplied by the Davis Museum. Applicants may not duplicate in
any way a color transparency or black-and-white photograph
supplied by the museum. Applicants will be responsible for the
return of
rented materials upon completion of the project for which permission
has been obtained. Any unauthorized use thereof, by any person
or entity, for any reason, whether or not authorized by the applicant,
will render the applicant responsible and liable to the Museum
for appropriate compensation. Clients failing to return the rented
material in useable condition will incur current replacement
costs.
- All final reproductions, unless specifically excepted in writing
by the Museum prior to the reproduction, must be smaller than
the original work(s) of art, except sculpture.
