General

Langson Institute and Museum of California Art (“IMCA”) encourages the use of this website and any subdomains regardless of domain address, including websites accessed through your mobile devices and downloadable mobile applications (“Sites”), as a way to share information and knowledge in support of the University of California’s three-part mission of education, research, and public service. These Sites are owned by The Regents of the University of California and operated by UC Irvine. While most Sites are publicly accessible, certain services and information offered on-line may be restricted to specific users or segments of the UC Irvine population.

By using the Sites and their content, you agree to be bound by and acknowledge your acceptance of the following Terms of Use as well as the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by this reference, which together set out your entire right with respect to the Sites and its content. All rights not expressly granted herein by Langson IMCA are specifically and completely reserved.

Copyright and Proprietary Rights

The entire content of the Sites, including but not limited to text, images, trademarks, data, audio files, video files and clips, software, documentation, or other information contained in these files, and other content (collectively, “Materials”) are proprietary to Langson IMCA or its licensors. Langson IMCA retains all rights, including copyright, in the Materials. Copyright and other proprietary rights may be held by individuals or entities other than, or in addition to, Langson IMCA.

Trademarks

Many of the trademarks, service marks, and logos (collectively, “Trademarks”) displayed on the Sites, including Langson IMCA, IMCA, Langson Institute and Museum of California Art, Jack & Shanaz Langson Institute & Museum of California Art, and IMCA logo, are registered and/or unregistered marks of Langson IMCA. The Trademarks of third parties may also be displayed on the Sites. Nothing contained in the Sites should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademarks displayed on the Sites without the express written permission of Langson IMCA, or any third party that may own the Trademarks displayed on the Sites. Any unauthorized use of the Trademarks or any other Materials, except as authorized in these Terms and Conditions, is strictly prohibited.

Authorized Uses

Unless otherwise expressly indicated, you may download or print Materials for non-commercial, educational, and personal use only, or for fair use as defined under United States copyright laws.

You must, however, cite the author and source of the Materials, and the citations should include the URL imca.uci.edu as well as any other proprietary markings appearing with such content, but not in any way that implies endorsement of the user or the user’s use of the Materials. You acknowledge that Langson IMCA and/or third-party content providers remain the owners of the Sites and its content, and that you do not acquire any ownership rights by downloading or posting copyright materials. You may not remove any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices that have been placed on or near the Materials by Langson IMCA.

Copyright Infringement Notice Procedures

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and prohibit users of the Sites from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on or to the Sites’ content that violate another party's intellectual property rights.

It is our policy to respond to notices and counter-notices that properly conform with the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). See the Copyright Office's web page at copyright.gov for details of the current DMCA requirements.

For purposes of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. Sec. 512(c)(2), IMCA has designated an agent for notification of claimed infringement as follows:

Amy Lim, Assistant Director Registration Collections Management
Jack & Shanaz Langson Institute & Museum of California Art
Email: imca@uci.edu

IMCA provides this contact information for purposes of the DMCA only and reserves the right to respond only to correspondence that is relevant to the purposes of DMCA compliance.

If you believe in good faith that materials hosted on the Sites infringe your copyright, you or your agent may send us a written DMCA notification requesting that the material be removed or disabled and containing the following information:

  • Detailed description of the copyrighted work (or list of works) that you claim has been infringed.
  • The URL or other specific location on the Sites that contains the material that you claim to be infringing your copyright that is sufficient for us to locate the work.

  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  • A statement that you swear under penalty of perjury that the information contained in your notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

You must submit any notification of an alleged copyright infringement to:

Amy Lim, Assistant Director Registration Collections Management
Jack & Shanaz Langson Institute & Museum of California Art
Email: imca@uci.edu

We only act on valid DMCA notifications, which must fully comply with these requirements and other applicable requirements set forth by the US Copyright Office.

If you believe in good faith that your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Sites as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification letter to us, which must include the following information:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or in Orange County, California if your address is outside the United States

  • Your name, address and telephone number
  • A statement that you swear under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material, or that the material identified by the complaining party has been removed or disabled at the URL or Sites location and will no longer be shown or accessible

You must submit a counter notification to:

Amy Lim, Assistant Director Registration Collections Management

Upon launch of Online Collections on the Sites:

The text, images, and data, including without limitation audio and video clips, software, documentation, and other information contained in the files on the Sites (collectively, the “Content”) are either (1) images of works from Langson IMCA’s collection that Langson IMCA believes are in the public domain, some of which are made available without restriction (these images are marked Public Domain High Resolution Image Available as described below); or (2) protected by copyright (the “Protected Content”). Such Content, whether or not in the public domain, may be subject to other restrictions as well, including rights of privacy and publicity, under applicable law.

Public Domain High Resolution Image Available

The Content on the Sites marked Public Domain High Resolution Image Available consists of images of works from Langson IMCA’s permanent collection that are currently available in “high resolution” format and that Langson IMCA believes are in the public domain. Langson IMCA provides high resolution images of these works free of charge and for use without restriction. The Public Domain High Resolution Image Available mark indicates that Langson IMCA is unaware of any current copyright restrictions on the Content so designated, either because:

(1) the term of copyright has expired

(2) no evidence has been found that copyright restrictions apply, or

(3) Langson IMCA owns copyright but would like to share this Content with the public without exercising control as part of our mission to engage and educate our communities.

Langson IMCA does not warrant that the sharing or other use of this Content will not infringe upon the rights of third parties holding rights to these works, including rights other than copyright, such as rights of privacy and publicity. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy copyright and other use restrictions before downloading, copying, transmitting, publishing or making any other use of these items.

If you have any knowledge about rights holders of any of these works, please contact:

Amy Lim, Assistant Director Registration Collections Management
Jack & Shanaz Langson Institute & Museum of California Art
Email: imca@uci.edu

Users should cite the author/artist and source of the Public Domain High Resolution images as they would material from any printed or other work, and citation should include the URL imca.uci.edu imca@uci in addition to all other proprietary notices, if any, provided with the Public Domain High Resolution Available images.

Protected Content

Langson IMCA and relevant third parties retain all rights, including copyright, in the Protected Content. Users may download and use the Protected Content subject to these Terms and Conditions, and subject to any additional terms or restrictions applicable to the individual file or program, provided all copyright and other proprietary notices contained on the Protected Content are retained. For certain images within the Protected Content on the Sites, Langson IMCA has been unable to determine the copyright holder, and would appreciate receiving any information about copyright ownership for appropriate acknowledgement. Please forward such information to Langson IMCA’s Rights and Reproductions Department to:

Amy Lim, Assistant Director Registration Collections Management
Jack & Shanaz Langson Institute & Museum of California Art
Email: imca@uci.edu

To the extent Langson IMCA owns such rights, the Protected Content is made available for use only for limited non-commercial personal use. Users must cite the author/artist and source of the Protected Content as they would material from any printed or other work, and the citation should include the URL imca@uci.edu in addition to all copyright and other proprietary notices provided with the Protected Content.

In granting this limited permission, however, note that Langson IMCA does not warrant or represent that use of Protected Content displayed on the Site will not infringe the rights of third parties. Copyright and other proprietary rights in the Protected Content, including reproductions of works of art licensed to Langson IMCA by third parties such as artists or artists' heirs holding rights to these works, or images of people or places displayed on the Sites, may be held by individuals and/or entities other than Langson IMCA. Use of these images by you is prohibited unless specifically permitted by such third parties.

Any party wishing to use any of the Protected Content from the Sites, including images of works that may be in the public domain but for which high resolution images are not currently available on the Sites, for any purpose other than the limited purposes identified above, must request and receive prior written approval from Langson IMCA. Permission for such use is granted on a case-by-case basis. For inquiries, please contact:
