Last Updated: August 25, 2015

Welcome to the Brooklyn Museum (the “Museum”). The Museum provides the Services (as defined below) in support of its mission to act as a bridge between the rich artistic heritage of world cultures, as embodied in its collections, and the unique experience of each visitor. Dedicated to the primacy of the visitor experience, committed to excellence in every aspect of its collections and programs, and drawing on both new and traditional tools of communication, interpretation, and presentation, the Museum aims to serve its diverse public as a dynamic, innovative, and welcoming center for learning through the visual arts.

By using and accessing the Services, users agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (“Agreement”), which apply to (a) www.BrooklynMuseum.org and all corresponding subdomains, web pages, and websites associated with the foregoing URL (the “Site”), (b) any mobile, web, console, desktop, and other applications provided by or on behalf of the Museum, which may be made available on the iOS, Android, and/or other operating systems and platforms (collectively, “Apps”), and (c) any other content, applications, systems, features, functionality, software, information, products, and services offered by us, including, without limitation, application/device-based features and related technology (collectively (i.e., the subsections (a), (b) and (c) above), the “Services”). This Agreement applies whether you are accessing the Services via a personal computer, a wireless or mobile device, or any other technology or device (each, a “Device”).

1. Term. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. You may terminate your use of the Services at any time, for any reason, and the Museum may terminate your use of the Services at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice or explanation.

2. Modifications. We may modify this Agreement from time to time, and at any time, without notice to you, for any reason, in our sole discretion. We recommend that you check back frequently and review this Agreement regularly so you are aware of the most current rights and obligations that apply to you.

3. Compliance. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (a) you are 13 years of age or older and reside in the United States of America, its territories and possessions (the “U.S.”) and acknowledge and agree that features, activities, and other aspects of the Services may be subject to heightened age and/or other eligibility requirements (e.g., purchases, contests, sweepstakes, promotions, interactive initiatives, etc.); and (b) your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law, rule, or regulation.

4. User Registration. In order to access and use the Services, we may require that you register for the applicable Services and have a unique username and password combination (“User Credentials”) and provide certain additional information, which may include, without limitation, your email address, legal name, date of birth, country of residence, zip code, mobile phone number, etc., and, for fee-based transactions and purchases (e.g., subscriptions, one-time purchases, add-ons, additional features, upgrades, games, etc.) offered by us, your physical address, telephone number(s), applicable payment data and information (e.g., credit card/debit card number and expiration date), etc. (collectively, a “User Account”). You represent and warrant that all registration and account information you submit is truthful and accurate and you shall maintain and promptly update the accuracy of such information. You may only have one User Account and are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your User Credentials, and you shall be responsible and liable for any access to or use of the Services by you or any person or entity using your User Credentials or Device, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by you or on your behalf, and whether or not such person or entity is your employee or agent, including, without limitation, any fee-based transactions. It is therefore critical that you do not share your User Credentials with anyone.

5. Personal Information. We respect your privacy and the use and protection of your personally identifiable information. In the course of your use of the Services, you may be required to provide certain personal or personalized information to us (such information referred to hereinafter as “Personal Information”). Our information collection and use policies with respect to the privacy of such Personal Information are set forth in the Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the accuracy and content of Personal Information.

6. Third Party Platforms. Some of the Services (e.g., Apps, etc.) may be dependent on and/or interoperate with third-party owned and/or operated platforms and services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, Yahoo!, Google+, PayPal, etc.) (each, a “Third Party Platform”) and may require that you be a registered member of such Third Party Platforms and provide certain account credentials and other information in order to access such Services. Such Third Party Platforms, in addition to providing application hosting, content distribution, support, and other related services, may provide us with certain additional information about you, which may include, without limitation, your email address, legal name, country of residence, location, date of birth, handles/user names, posts, preferences, friends, and usage data, all as more fully described herein and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy.

The Services may allow access to, or make available opportunities for you to view, and/or receive, certain content, products, services, information, and other materials based, in whole or in part, upon your location (“Located Content”). In order to make Located Content available to you, the Services will determine your location using one or more points of data, reference, and/or information associated with, among other things, your Device, including, without limitation, GPS, beacons, device software/features/services and other points of data, reference and information. If you have set your Device to disable GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, or other location determining or assisting software, features, or services, or do not authorize the Services to access your location data, the Services may not be able to determine your location and you may not be able to access, view and/or receive Located Content.

8. Disclosure of User Status and Activity Information. In order to access and use the Services, you expressly acknowledge, understand, and agree that the Services will automatically store, host, share, post, disseminate, disclose, and/or publish certain information concerning your user profile (e.g., name, avatar/image, etc.) and your corresponding use of the Services and related conduct, information, and activities associated therewith (e.g., content and text postings, questions regarding exhibits and artwork, feedback, ratings, etc.) in connection with the Services (collectively, “Status and Activity Information”). Status and Activity Information will be visible (e.g., on post and feed sections, message boards, on-location physical displays, etc.) to all users of the Services and other third parties (e.g., visitors to the Brooklyn Museum, users of third party platforms, etc.). Accordingly, you expressly acknowledge, understand, and agree that (a) all Status and Activity Information is public and may be globally viewed by any third parties and (b) you have no expectation of privacy in any Status and Activity Information and (c) no confidential, fiduciary, contractually implied, or other relationship is created between you and the Museum by reason of your Status and Activity Information being made public. We may, from time to time, make certain settings available to limit the sharing, availability, or public nature of certain specific Status and Activity Information, and if we do elect to do so and you properly designate your preferences using such settings, then we will honor the choices you make about who can see certain specific Status and Activity Information after a reasonable period of time to implement such preference. For purposes of clarity, the term “User Posting” (as defined herein) shall include Status and Activity Information.

Unless the context clearly requires otherwise or we explicitly set forth in writing, the term “Services” includes “Content” as well. Copyright and other proprietary rights may be held by individuals or entities other than, or in addition to, the Museum.

9.2 Restrictions. The Services are to be used solely for your non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, non-commercial, and limited personal use and for no other purposes.

Except as expressly authorized by the Museum (e.g., Services that allow for the use of embeddable or viral features, applications, etc.), you shall not, nor shall you allow any third party (whether or not for your benefit or otherwise) to, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, display, perform, publish, distribute, disseminate, broadcast, or circulate to any third party (including, without limitation, on or via a third party website or platform), or otherwise use, any Content without the express, prior written consent of the Museum or its owner if the Museum is not the owner. Moreover, the framing or scraping of or in-line linking to the Services or any Content contained thereon and/or the use of webcrawler, spidering, or other automated means to access, copy, index, process, and/or store any Content made available on or through the Services other than as expressly authorized by us in writing in advance is prohibited. You further agree to abide by exclusionary protocols (e.g., Robot.txt, Automated Content Access Protocol (ACAP), etc.) used in connection with the Services. Any unauthorized or prohibited use of any Content may subject you to civil liability, criminal prosecution, or both, under applicable federal, state, local laws, or applicable foreign laws, rules, regulations, and treaties.

9.3 Downloading Content. Subject to the restrictions in Section 9.2, Users may download Content for their own use subject to any additional terms or restrictions which may be applicable to the individual file or program. Users must, however, cite the author and source of the Content as they would material from any printed work, and the citations should include the URL www.brooklynmuseum.org, but not in any way that implies endorsement of the user or the user’s use of the Content. By downloading, printing, or otherwise using the Content, users agree they will limit their use of such files to non-commercial, educational, personal, or for fair use, and will not violate the Museum’s or any other party’s proprietary rights. Images of works of art that the Museum believes to be in the public domain may be downloaded for limited non-commercial, educational, and personal use only, or for fair use, as defined in the United States copyright laws. In addition, authorized non-commercial uses for such images shall include scholarly publications. Users must cite the author and source of such images, and the citations should include the URL www.brooklynmuseum.org, but not in a way that implies endorsement of the user or the user’s use of the Content.

The Museum does not warrant that use of the Content will not infringe the rights of third parties not owned by or affiliated with the Museum. For example, some works may be under copyright by the artist and the artist’s heirs holding rights to these works. In many instances the caption may offer more information about the copyright status. Such works may not be used in any form; they may not be copied or downloaded without prior permission from the holder of the underlying copyright.
