Terms of Service

This page explains what this website is and is not, what you may do with its content, and what you can and cannot expect from it. It is a notice, not an agreement: we ask you to accept nothing in order to read these pages. Our Privacy Policy explains what the site collects about you.

About this website

This website is published by Cecilia Dan Fine Art, the art advisory and appraisal practice of Cecilia Dan, based in Santa Monica, California. It gives general information about our services, our professional background, and our professional affiliations. It is informational only and is not a substitute for engaging us under a written agreement.

No appraisal, advice, or professional relationship

Nothing on this website constitutes:

  • an appraisal, valuation, or opinion of value;
  • investment, financial, tax, accounting, legal, or insurance advice;
  • an offer to buy, sell, broker, authenticate, or transfer any work of art or other property;
  • a representation about the authenticity, attribution, condition, provenance, ownership, or market value of any work mentioned or described.

Reading this site, sending us an inquiry, or receiving a reply does not create an appraiser-client, advisor-client, fiduciary, or any other professional relationship. A professional engagement begins only when a written engagement letter has been signed that sets out the intended use, intended users, scope of work, fees, and other terms, in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and our own practice standards.
