The borrower is responsible for inspecting prints after delivery and notifying the Archive of any damage discovered before projection. Otherwise, the Archive will assume that any damage discovered after the prints have been returned is the fault of the borrower.
Head and tail leaders may not be removed from any Archive print. Discovery that head and tail leaders have been previously removed should be reported as the borrower would report any other damage.
The borrower accepts full responsibility for the safety and security of the print from the time it is shipped or received from a previous borrower until the time it is returned to the Archive or transshipped to another destination.
The borrower must return or transship prints tails out on the reels on which they were received. Reel ends must be securely fastened with strong new tape.
Late return of prints will be grounds to refuse future loan requests.
The borrower will be expected to reimburse the Archive for lost prints and any form of damage including, but not limited to, heavy scratches, torn perforations, unauthorized cuts and splices, and breaks caused by the borrower during handling, projection, rewinding, or as a result of careless packaging and shipping, up to the full replacement cost of the print.
In order to safeguard the integrity of its motion picture collection, the Archive reserves the right to suspend or terminate borrowing privileges to any organization for any reason, including, but not limited to, undue or repeated print damage, unauthorized use or duplication of borrowed prints, or lack of adequate onsite security.
