Terms

The service

Cartouche Heritage prepares heritage studies and provenance research on commission. Each commission is scoped and confirmed in writing before work begins.

Nature of the work

Studies are historical research documents. They are not structural inspections, legal title opinions, valuations, or planning advice. Heritage Biography studies draw on published civic and architectural history. True Provenance studies verify claims against primary archival sources; every factual statement is cited.

Limits of the record

Archives are incomplete. Where a fact cannot be confirmed against the record, the study says so. No guarantee is given that a complete chain of ownership can be recovered for any given property.

Payment and delivery

Fees, timelines and deliverables are agreed per commission. Unless otherwise agreed, reports are delivered as digital documents.

Use of reports

Reports are prepared for the commissioning client. Resale or republication requires written permission. The client may share the report with buyers, agents and advisers connected to the property.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Portuguese law.
