Third-party material  used on the Cassone website

In order that Cassone be illustrated as fully as possible, in the interests of readers and those of the authors whose books are being reviewed, the editors will make their best endeavours to obtain images to illustrate articles and reviews. Where the author of an article or review supplies images, they are expected to undertake to take photographs themselves, where applicable, and license Cassone Art Limited to reproduce such images online in Cassone. If the author of a book review or article obtains images from a third party, such as a publisher, gallery, property owner or any other party, it is the responsibility of that author to obtain permission for the image to be used online in Cassone. Where the editors themselves obtain images for publication, the editors undertake to obtain the correct permission to use the images.

If for any reason an image appears in Cassone for which the proper permission has not been obtained, for instance because of any misunderstanding or oversight on the part of Cassone’s editors or its contributors, Cassone Art Limited undertakes to make full acknowledgement of the copyright owner whose rights have been infringed and, if the copyright owner wishes, remove the image(s) concerned from the Cassone website immediately, as soon as the copyright owner has informed Cassone Art Limited of the position. Anyone claiming a copyright that has apparently been infringed must supply evidence that they are in fact the true owner.
