TERMS & CONDITIONS
Please read these terms before using HICHAA Gallery’s website and services. They apply to everyone who uses the site.
Individual transactions may also have specific conditions, which you should review and follow. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website. See our buying guide and packaging and delivery information for the ordering and delivery process.
Section 1. Using Site Content
You may browse artwork information and keep a copy of site content for personal, non-commercial use. Authorized gallery representatives may use artwork information to introduce works to clients within the scope of their agreement with the gallery. Republishing, selling or otherwise using images and text commercially outside this scope requires written permission from the gallery or the relevant rights holder.
Unauthorized use may infringe copyright, trademark or other rights. Using site content in another website, publication, database or catalogue beyond personal browsing requires the gallery’s written permission.
The HICHAA name, logo and visual identity, and other marks shown on the site, belong to their respective owners. Removing ownership notices, using the gallery’s identity misleadingly or claiming to represent it without authorization is not permitted. Displaying an artwork on the website does not transfer reproduction or other intellectual property rights.
For permission to use site content, please contact HICHAA Gallery.
HICHAA respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. If you believe content on this website infringes your rights or the rights of an artwork’s owner, email info@hichaa.com with the following information:
A physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or their authorized representative.
A description of the work or content concerned and the right you believe has been infringed.
The address of the page where the disputed content appears.
Your postal address, telephone number and email address.
Information showing that you own the relevant rights or are authorized to act for the rights holder.
Section 2. Privacy and User Submissions
HICHAA respects users’ privacy. Information you provide when registering, purchasing or completing a form is used to handle those requests and communicate with you. For questions about the use of your personal information, or to request a correction, please contact the gallery.
You are responsible for content submitted through forms, messages or comments. Check that your information is accurate and that you have permission to use any images or text you submit. The gallery may decline to publish or remove content that breaches these terms.
When using the site or submitting content, you must not:
(1) Submit works, images, text or information you do not have the right or permission to use, or that infringe another person’s intellectual property rights.
(2) Submit defamatory, threatening, abusive or hateful material, or content that harms another person’s privacy or rights.
(3) Submit sexually explicit text or images.
(4) Post advertisements.
(5) Impersonate another person or organization.
(6) Breach applicable local, national or international laws, intentionally or unintentionally.
(7) Send files or information containing viruses or other harmful components.
Where these terms are breached, the gallery may remove the content and restrict or suspend the account involved. User information is provided to other authorities where legally required or requested by a competent authority, and within the scope of that requirement or request. This does not authorize discretionary disclosure of user information.
Section 3. Accounts and Sign-in Security
By registering and using an account, you agree to provide accurate, complete information and keep it up to date. The gallery may suspend or close an account if the registration information is incorrect or incomplete, or if there are reasonable grounds to consider it invalid.
You may receive a username, password or digital signature during registration. You are responsible for keeping your access details confidential and for activity carried out through your account or digital signature.
Report unauthorized access or another security concern to the gallery immediately through our contact page. Sign out when you finish using your account. The gallery is not responsible for losses caused by your failure to follow these account-security requirements.
Section 4. Links to Other Websites
Links to other websites are provided for convenience and do not mean that HICHAA endorses their content. Those websites are managed by their own operators. The gallery is not responsible for their content, does not guarantee its accuracy and is not responsible for the consequences of visiting them.
Section 5. Site Information and Availability
Website information may need correction or updating. If an artwork’s details, price or terms of sale are unclear, check with the gallery before purchasing. General site content is not a substitute for legal or financial advice tailored to your circumstances. These explanations do not remove the gallery’s specific commitments concerning a sale, including authenticity, artwork specifications and delivery.
Technical problems or circumstances outside the gallery’s control may temporarily interrupt access. The gallery does not guarantee continuous, error-free access. Please report errors or security concerns to us. This does not exclude the gallery’s legal responsibilities or specific commitments relating to orders.
Section 6. Responsibility for Losses
If you do not agree with the conditions for using the site, please do not use its services. Responsibility for a loss is assessed according to its cause, the involvement of the relevant parties and applicable law. Nothing on this page creates a blanket exclusion of the gallery’s liability, removes a buyer’s legal rights or cancels agreed commitments concerning the sale and delivery of an artwork.
Section 7. Claims and Compensation
If your unauthorized use of the website, or content you submit without publication rights, causes documented loss to the gallery or another party, responsibility will be assessed under applicable law and determined by agreement or a competent authority. Relevant costs are actual, reasonable costs connected with that matter, including legal costs. An allegation alone does not establish liability or a debt.
If a claim concerns content you submitted, the gallery will inform you of the matter and the information needed to respond. To report an intellectual property concern or discuss a dispute, please contact HICHAA Gallery.
