Terms of Use

This website is operated by The Private Art Office, a private art brokerage and advisory firm based in London, United Kingdom.

The site provides information about our services, an anonymised view of off-market opportunities, and a confidential channel through which visitors may submit enquiries regarding private sales, acquisitions or advisory matters.

The Private Art Office acts as an intermediary, adviser and introducer in private art transactions. We are not an auction house, a bank, a law firm, a regulated financial services provider, a tax adviser or an escrow agent.

Nothing on this website constitutes investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, an appraisal, an authentication, a valuation guarantee or a recommendation to acquire art as an investment. Independent specialist advisers may be engaged where appropriate.

All enquiries submitted through this website are handled on a strictly confidential basis. We will not disclose your identity, the details of your enquiry, or any images or documents you provide to unrelated third parties without your prior consent, except where required by law or to protect our legitimate legal interests.

By submitting information to us, you agree that we may share it internally and with carefully selected independent specialists (such as valuers, legal counsel, provenance researchers or conservators) where necessary to assess or progress a transaction, provided they are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations.

You agree not to reproduce, forward or publicly disclose any off-market opportunity, catalogue entry, image, valuation or transaction detail we share with you without our prior written consent.

Submission of an enquiry does not create a binding contract or client relationship, nor does it guarantee that we will accept a work for representation, locate a desired work, or proceed with any proposed transaction.

We reserve the right to decline any mandate or instruction at our sole discretion, including where a work falls outside our area of focus, where provenance or title raises concerns, or where a transaction is not compatible with our risk, compliance or reputational standards.

No guarantee is made of authenticity, title, condition, provenance, value, future appreciation, or the successful completion of any transaction. Any estimates or indications provided are not formal valuations and should not be relied upon as such.

Content on this website is provided for general information only. Off-market opportunities are indicative and anonymised; they do not constitute an offer for sale, an invitation to treat, or a binding representation that a work remains available.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information on the site is accurate, but we do not warrant that it is complete, current or free from error.

All content on this website, including text, images, logos, design, layout and the name "The Private Art Office", is the property of The Private Art Office or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws.

You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial reference. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, create derivative works from, or exploit any content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.

This website may contain links to third-party websites, including auction houses, valuers, museums and specialist publications. These links are provided for convenience and information only.

We do not control, endorse or accept responsibility for the content, privacy practices or services of any third-party site. You access such sites at your own risk and should review their terms and privacy policies separately.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ${brand.name} excludes liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special losses or damages arising out of or in connection with your use of this website or reliance on its content, except where caused by our fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

This website and its content are provided 'as is' without any warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or your use of this website shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

We may revise these terms from time to time. The current version will be posted on this page with the 'Last updated' date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
