Each of the subsections below only applies up to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties or the limitation of liability in contracts, and as a result the contents of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in this section is intended to limit any rights you may have which may not be lawfully limited.

A. The Services are Available “AS-IS”

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION SHALL APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE ARTISTS’ GUILD ENTITIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Offensive work principle

The beliefs and preferences of those who work at The Artists’ Guild, as well as the opinions of the general public, do not determine or impact our shared artwork. Individual citizens and public interest groups do periodically urge us to remove particular works of art or otherwise creative works that cause offence. Although The Artists’ Guild reserves the right to address such requests individually, The Artists’ Guild views the comprehensiveness of our collected works, and freedom of artistic expression as an extremely important priority. Accordingly, we do not remove a work from public display simply because its content is unpopular or because we receive complaints concerning it. We will, however, remove pages from our site if we believe the content violates our policies, if we believe we are required to do so by law, or at the request of the author who is responsible for the page.

We apologize for the upsetting nature of some artworks but art is designed to inform, shock and challenge society or represent a particular viewpoint.

Sincerely,

– The Artists’ Guild Staff
