1. Operator and Scope

This website is operated by Thomas Reinshagen, Art and Luxury Consulting, Dufourstrasse 26, CH-8702 Zollikon, Switzerland (“we”, “us”). By accessing thomasreinshagen.com (the “Site”), you agree to the following terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. General Information – No Individual Advice

All content on the Site – including blog posts, market commentary, press articles and descriptions of our services – is provided for general information only. It does not constitute an offer, a recommendation or individual advice, and does not replace a personal assessment. Advice tailored to your situation is provided exclusively under a separately agreed mandate.

Any values, price ranges or market developments mentioned on the Site are non-binding. Binding valuations are issued only after examination of the specific object and in writing.

3. No Warranty for Content

We prepare and update the content with great care. Nevertheless, we make no warranty as to its accuracy, completeness, timeliness or fitness for a particular purpose. We reserve the right to change, supplement or remove content at any time without notice, and to suspend or discontinue the Site temporarily or permanently.

4. Risk Notice for Art and Luxury Goods

The market for art and luxury goods (including paintings, sculptures, watches, jewellery and collectibles) is subject to constant change. Please note in particular:

• Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

• No specific performance or return can be guaranteed. Losses of the capital invested, up to and including a total loss, are possible.

• Art and luxury goods are comparatively illiquid; a sale may take time and may not be possible at any given moment or at a specific price.

• Valuations are based on expert judgement and market comparables and may change as new information emerges (e.g. regarding provenance, condition or authenticity).

• Ancillary costs such as commissions, insurance, storage, transport, restoration and taxes materially affect the economic outcome.

Only invest amounts whose loss you could bear financially, even if the market moves significantly against you. Art and luxury goods are not financial instruments within the meaning of the Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA). Our services do not constitute financial, tax or legal advice; please consult appropriate professionals where required.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for direct or indirect damage arising from access to or use of the Site, its unavailability, reliance on its content, or technical malfunctions. This exclusion does not apply to damage caused by wilful misconduct or gross negligence. Use of the Site is at your own risk.

6. External Links and Third-Party Content

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We have no influence over their design or content; no unlawful content was apparent at the time the links were placed. We accept no responsibility for the content, privacy practices or availability of linked websites and are in no way party to any transaction between you and third-party providers.

8. Data Protection, Cookies and Web Analytics

We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When you visit the Site, technically necessary data (e.g. IP address, date and time of access, pages visited, browser type) is recorded in server log files.
