Terms of Service

1. About Likha Registry

Likha Registry (“we”, “us”, or “Likha”) is a Philippine digital platform for artwork registration, provenance documentation, and art market price transparency. By accessing or using this platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

2. Nature of Certification — Important Disclaimer

Likha Registry provides registry-based and documentary certification, not a guarantee of authenticity or attribution. Our review process is based on information and documentation provided by submitting parties.

A Likha Registry certificate confirms that:

• An artwork record exists in our registry under a unique registry number
• The submitted documentation was reviewed by our team
• The certificate was issued on the stated date with the information provided

A Likha Registry certificate does not constitute a legal guarantee against future attribution disputes, forgery claims, or changes in scholarly opinion regarding authorship. Buyers and collectors are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence for high-value acquisitions.

3. Submission of Artwork Records

By submitting an artwork record, you represent and warrant that:

• You are the artist, authorized representative, or current owner of the work
• All information submitted is accurate and truthful to the best of your knowledge
• You have the right to submit the artwork details and images provided
• The submission does not infringe on the rights of any third party

Likha Registry reserves the right to reject, suspend, or revoke any registration at its discretion, including where records are found to be inaccurate, fraudulent, or in dispute.

4. Price and Auction Data Disclaimer

The price database on Likha Registry is compiled from publicly available Philippine auction catalogs and sale results. This data is provided for informational and reference purposes only. Likha Registry does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of auction records. Past auction results are not a guarantee of current or future market value. Data should not be used as the sole basis for appraisal, insurance, or purchase decisions.

5. Intellectual Property

Artists and submitters retain ownership of their artwork images and descriptions submitted to the platform. By submitting, you grant Likha Registry a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and reproduce submitted content solely for the purpose of operating the registry and related services.

The Likha Registry name, logo, certificate design, and platform content are the intellectual property of Likha Registry and may not be reproduced without written permission.

6. Provenance and Ownership Records

Ownership and provenance records are submitted voluntarily by users. Likha Registry documents these records as reported but does not independently verify the legal ownership or title of artworks. We are not a legal authority on title disputes. Records may be updated or annotated to reflect disputes, corrections, or new information.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Likha Registry shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of this platform, reliance on registry records or certificates, or any transaction involving registered artworks. Our liability, in any case, shall not exceed the amount paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

8. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Makati City, Metro Manila.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will post the updated date at the top of this page when changes are made.
