Unless otherwise stated, these materials may not be reproduced, republished, distributed, modified, or commercially exploited without appropriate authorization.
Individual artworks, artists, photographs, historical information, and other materials presented on SculptPedia may be subject to separate copyright, trademark, or other rights belonging to their respective creators, institutions, photographers, estates, or other rights holders.

Where applicable, information about the source, author, license, or copyright status of such material may be provided on the relevant page.
Users are responsible for determining whether they have the necessary rights or permissions before reproducing or commercially using third-party content obtained through SculptPedia.
SculptPedia does not grant any license to third-party material unless such a license is explicitly stated.
5. Accuracy of Information
We make reasonable efforts to provide useful, accurate, and reliable information. However, SculptPedia is a continuously developing catalog, and information may contain errors, omissions, outdated details, or differences between sources.
Information on SculptPedia should therefore not be considered an authoritative substitute for primary sources, museum records, official documentation, scholarly publications, or professional advice.
Dates, titles, dimensions, materials, attributions, locations, and other details may change as new information becomes available.

We welcome corrections, additional information, and suggestions from researchers, artists, institutions, and visitors.
If you believe that information published on SculptPedia is incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or misleading, you may contact us through our Contact page.

7. External Links
SculptPedia may contain links to third-party websites and resources.
These links are provided for convenience, reference, and further research. We do not control or endorse all third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or privacy practices.
Your use of third-party websites is subject to the terms and policies of those websites.
8. Availability of the Website
We aim to keep SculptPedia available and functioning reliably, but we do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.
We may temporarily suspend, modify, restrict, or discontinue parts of the website for maintenance, technical reasons, security purposes, or other operational reasons.

This includes, where permitted by law, losses resulting from reliance on information published on SculptPedia, links to third-party websites, technical interruptions, errors, omissions, or changes to website content.

Automated access must not interfere with the normal operation of the website or place excessive load on our servers.
We reserve the right to restrict or block automated requests that we reasonably believe are abusive, excessive, disruptive, or otherwise harmful to the website or its users.

When the Terms are updated, the revised version will be published on this page together with a new "Last updated" date.
Your continued use of SculptPedia after changes to these Terms are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
13. Termination or Restriction of Access
