Purpose

The Brotherhood of Ruralists Information Website is intended to provide free information for collectors, researchers, commercial organisations and the general public about the work of the artists who exhibited under the name The Brotherhood of Ruralists.

Ownership

The website is privately owned and maintained with the assistance of Aztec Consulting Ltd and Aznet Online Ltd.

Affiliation

Whilst the site has no direct affiliation with the Brotherhood of Ruralists, the artists have given their full support and have shown a willingness to help with information and images. This co-operation is regarded as an important aspect of the site.

Independence

The site is maintained and financed by people who are independent of the Brotherhood of Ruralists. Thus it is not the "official Ruralists Website" and the artists have no direct control over its content, nor responsibility for it. The site is not a vehicle for expressing or supporting the views of the artists except where this happens as a side-effect of publicising their work and reporting of news.

Commercial Interests

The developers of the site may, from time to time, promote ventures which are of commercial interest to themselves or other parties. The support of these ventures is not the purpose of the site and only information which is genuinely believed to be of interest to the audience will be included. In this respect, the site itself is not a commercial venture and its existence and continued development rely on the sponsorship and support of the directors of the two companies list under "Ownership" and various other parties.

Access

In keeping with the nature of the work of the Ruralists, the site is intended to be decent, in good taste and accessible to all.
