Where an individual object or a collection is documented in the Lost Art Database, the conclusion should not be drawn that it actually is a cultural asset seized through Nazi persecution, or removed or lost as a result of events during the Second World War. Documentation has no bearing on the right of ownership, the power of disposal or the existence of other legal entitlements, neither in favor of nor to the detriment of the respective reporting party or a third party. Registration in the Lost Art Database does not replace any legal assertion that may be made by the entitled institution or person, or other measures for securing rights.
