Please be aware that these terms cover the use of our website, while further terms may apply during newsletter subscription or sign-up, and distinct terms apply if you decide to submit a design to us.

1. Your Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions

Design Statement Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of Design Statement, available at https://design-statement.com, and of all pages, features and content of design-statement.com.

2. Content Is for Entertainment and Information Only

Design Statement publishes features about movie, performing arts and interface and more.

For professional, legal, financial, purchasing, investment, design, art valuation, marketing, advertising or technical advice, please consult a qualified professional, because content on Design Statement is general information and carries no offer, endorsement, recommendation or guarantee of any product, service, person or company. Design Statement is an independent editorial publication, so to purchase featured movie, performing arts and interface designs, products or projects, please contact the respective designers, brands or rights holders. You alone are responsible for any decision you take on the basis of content published on Design Statement.

3. Provided As Is, Where Is and As Available

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, Design Statement and all content published on design-statement.com are provided on an AS IS, WHERE IS and AS AVAILABLE basis, with all faults, and without warranties or representations of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and any warranty that design-statement.com will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or free of viruses or other harmful components. Design Statement does not warrant the accuracy, completeness or reliability of information supplied by designers, brands, advertisers or other third parties.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Design Statement, the publisher of Design Statement and the owners, operators, editors, contributors, licensors, partners, sponsors, advertisers, affiliates and service providers of Design Statement shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, data, goodwill, reputation or opportunity, arising out of or in connection with the access to or use of, or the inability to use, Design Statement, or reliance on any content published on design-statement.com, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

6. Intellectual Property

Featured works. The movie, performing arts and interface designs, products, projects, photographs, renderings, descriptions, names, logos and trademarks featured on Design Statement belong to the original creators, designers, brands and license holders of each work, who keep all rights to their intellectual properties and related rights. Each work is shown on Design Statement for editorial purposes, and the presentation of a work on Design Statement leaves every single right with the respective owners.

Original materials of Design Statement. Except for third-party works, the original texts, the selection and arrangement of content and the layout of Design Statement are protected by copyright and are © 2008 – 2026 Design Statement. You are welcome to read Design Statement and to share links to pages of design-statement.com for personal, non-commercial and lawful purposes. Please obtain prior written permission from the publisher of Design Statement, and from the relevant rights holders for featured works, before copying, reproducing, scraping, harvesting, mirroring, framing, republishing, selling or otherwise exploiting content of design-statement.com, except where the law expressly allows.

Notice to rights holders. If you are a creator or rights holder and believe that a feature on Design Statement infringes an intellectual property right, or gives incorrect credit, you can send a notice through the Design Statement Contact page, indicating the address of the page, identifying the work and your rights in the work, and providing a way to reach you. Design Statement reviews every notice promptly and carefully and, where appropriate, corrects or removes the content.

7. Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising

Design Statement contains links to, and content from, third parties, including the A' Design Award & Competition, Designers.org, the Design Encyclopedia and other partner websites. Third-party websites are operated independently of Design Statement, so their content, availability, terms and privacy practices remain solely the responsibility of the respective third party. You access third-party websites at your own risk and discretion and subject to the terms of the respective third party.

Advertising shown on Design Statement is delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the privacy-first advertising solution provider of Design Statement. Advertisements are supplied by third parties, and each advertised product, service or advertiser remains the responsibility of the respective advertiser. Any dealings between you and an advertiser are solely between you and that advertiser.

8. Forms and Forwarding to Third-Party Services

Some features of Design Statement, such as the Design Statement Submit Design page, the Design Statement Newsletter page and the Design Statement Encyclopedia page, work in two steps. You provide a few details on design-statement.com and may then be forwarded to a partner service that carries out the actual service. The partner service, and not Design Statement, is responsible for processing your information and for everything that happens after the forwarding, under the terms and the privacy policy of that service. You agree to provide accurate information and to enter only information that belongs to you or that you are authorized to share.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Design Statement for lawful purposes, to access design-statement.com through ordinary browsing and search engine indexing rather than through robots, crawlers, scrapers or other automated means, to respect the security and availability of design-statement.com, its servers and its networks, to provide truthful information through the forms of Design Statement, and to keep every credit, copyright and other notice intact.

10. Availability and Changes

The publisher of Design Statement may change, suspend or discontinue Design Statement, or any content or feature of Design Statement, at any time, for any reason and without notice or liability. Design Statement Terms and Conditions may also be updated from time to time, and the date shown at the bottom of this page indicates the latest revision. Your continued use of Design Statement after a revision means that you accept the revised Design Statement Terms and Conditions.

11. Governing Law

Design Statement Terms and Conditions, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with Design Statement, are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction of the publisher of Design Statement identified in the Design Statement Impressum, without regard to conflict of law principles, and the competent courts of that jurisdiction have jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise.

12. General Provisions

If any provision of Design Statement Terms and Conditions is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. A delay in enforcing any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. Design Statement Terms and Conditions, together with the Design Statement Privacy Policy and the Design Statement Cookies Policy, form the entire agreement regarding the use of Design Statement.

13. Contact
