Shipping, Crating, Courier And Extraordinary Expenses
All arrangements for the shipping of WOODLAND CULTURAL CENTRE items to and from the borrower must be approved, in advance, by the WOODLAND CULTURAL CENTRE. All costs related to transportation, customs brokerage, security escorts, crating, courier and any other extraordinary expenses are the borrower’s responsibility.
Insurance
The borrower must provide proof of insurance against all risk, showing the value of the items borrowed and naming WOODLAND CULTURAL CENTRE as the owner.
Facility Report
Museums submitting loan requests must provide WOODLAND CULTURAL CENTRE with a copy of their current Facility Report. The borrower will also provide copies of lux, humidity and temperature readings taken from the galleries in which the item(s) are to be exhibited. Readings in graph form only will be accepted. The graphs should reflect a period similar to that being requested for loan. For touring loans, the institution making the request is responsible for providing WOODLAND CULTURAL CENTRE with Facility Reports and lux, humidity and temperature graphs for all subsequent venues.
Loan Agreement
It is standard policy for WOODLAND CULTURAL CENTRE to issue its own Outgoing Loan Agreement. Once the loan has been approved the loan agreement will be sent out; the agreement must be completed, signed, and returned to WOODLAND CULTURAL CENTRE before work on the loan can begin.
