Featured works. The social, sustainable product, cultural heritage and other designs, products, projects, photographs, renderings, descriptions, names, logos and trademarks featured on Design Articles belong to the original creators, designers, brands and license holders of each work, who keep all rights to their intellectual properties. Each work is shown on Design Articles for editorial purposes, and the presentation of a work on Design Articles leaves every right with the respective owners.

Original materials of Design Articles. Except for third-party works, the original texts, the selection and arrangement of content and the layout of Design Articles are protected by copyright and are © 2008 – 2026 Design Articles. You are welcome to read Design Articles and to share links to pages of designarticles.org for personal, non-commercial and lawful purposes. Please obtain prior written permission from the publisher of Design Articles, and from the relevant rights holders for featured works, before copying, reproducing, scraping, harvesting, mirroring, framing, republishing, redistributing, selling or otherwise exploiting content of designarticles.org, 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 Articles infringes an intellectual property right, or gives incorrect credit, you can send a notice through the Design Articles 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 Articles reviews every notice promptly and, where appropriate, corrects or removes the content.

7. Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising

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

Advertising shown on Design Articles is delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the privacy-first advertising solution provider of Design Articles. 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 and exclusively between you and that advertiser.

8. Forms and Forwarding to Third-Party Services

Some features of Design Articles, such as the Design Articles Submit Design page, the Design Articles Newsletter page and the Design Articles Encyclopedia page, work in two steps. You provide a few details on designarticles.org and may then be forwarded to a partner service that carries out the actual service. The partner service, and not Design Articles, 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 and truthful 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 Articles for lawful purposes, to access designarticles.org through ordinary browsing and search engine indexing rather than through robots, crawlers, scrapers or other automated means, to respect the security and availability of designarticles.org, its servers and its networks, to provide truthful information through the forms of Design Articles, and to keep every credit, copyright and other notice intact.

10. Availability and Changes

The publisher of Design Articles may change, suspend or discontinue Design Articles, or any content or feature of Design Articles, at any time, for any reason and without notice or liability. Design Articles 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 Articles after a revision means that you accept the revised Design Articles Terms and Conditions.

11. Governing Law

Design Articles Terms and Conditions, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with Design Articles, are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction of the publisher of Design Articles identified in the Design Articles Impressum, without regard to conflict of law rules and 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 Articles Terms and Conditions is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Any delay in enforcing any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. Design Articles Terms and Conditions, together with the Design Articles Privacy Policy and the Design Articles Cookies Policy, form the entire agreement regarding the use of Design Articles.
