Incoming Loan Condition
The OUAG will exercise the same care with respect to loans as it does in the safe keeping of comparable property of its own.

Packing and Shipping
The OUAG requests condition reports from the object(s) from the Lender. Existing damage or imperfections of the object must be noted. The OUAG cannot be responsible for objects not packed properly. Objects should be in crates or soft packed with double-strength cardboard and bubble wrap.

Insurance
Unless the Lender elects to maintain own insurance coverage, the OUAG will insure the loan wall-to-wall under its fine arts policy.

Display Period
Loans shall remain in the gallery for the time specified on this form.

Repair Responsibility
If an object is received in a pre-existing unstable condition, the Lender will assume full financial responsibility for any alteration, restoration or repair necessary for exhibition purposes. Evidence of damage at the time of receipt or while in the OUAG’s custody will be reported immediately to the lender. The Lender will be requested to provide written authorization for any alteration, restoration or repair.

Public Relations
Unless the OUAG is notified in writing to the contrary, it is understood that it may photograph and reproduce loans in its publications and for publicity purposes, including video recording and digital photography, and distributed by the OUAG for educational use. It is understood that the general public may photograph objects on exhibit.
