Design Speech Terms and Conditions set the rules and conditions for using design-speech.com. By using Design Speech, you agree to the rules below, so please read every section carefully. Please note that these terms cover the use of our website, while further terms may apply during newsletter subscription or sign-up, and separate terms apply if you decide to submit a design to us.

1. Your Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions

Design Speech Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of Design Speech, available at https://design-speech.com, and of all pages, features, tools and content of design-speech.com. By accessing or using Design Speech, you confirm that you have carefully read, understood and agreed to be bound by Design Speech Terms and Conditions, the Design Speech Privacy Policy and the Design Speech Cookies Policy.

2. Content Is for Entertainment and Information Only

Design Speech publishes features about watch and eyewear and more. Everything published on Design Speech, including articles, descriptions, images, rankings, daily features, quotes, links and advertisements, is provided for entertainment and general information purposes only. For professional, legal, financial, purchasing, investment or design advice, please consult a qualified and licensed professional, because content on Design Speech is general information and carries no offer, endorsement, recommendation, warranty or guarantee of any product, service, person or company. Design Speech is an independent editorial publication, so to purchase featured watch and eyewear designs, products or projects, please contact the respective designers, brands or rights holders. You alone are responsible for any decision or action you take on the basis of content published on Design Speech.

3. Provided As Is, Where Is and As Available

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, Design Speech and all content published on design-speech.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 but not limited to any warranty of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and any warranty that design-speech.com will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or free of viruses or other harmful components. Design Speech does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of information supplied by designers, brands, advertisers or other third parties.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, Design Speech, the publisher of Design Speech and the owners, operators, editors, contributors, licensors, partners, sponsors, advertisers, affiliates and service providers of Design Speech 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 or opportunity, arising out of or in connection with the access to or use of, or the inability to use, Design Speech, or reliance on any content published on design-speech.com, even if previously advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in Design Speech Terms and Conditions excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

5. Full Indemnity

You agree to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless Design Speech, the publisher of Design Speech and the owners, operators, editors, contributors, licensors, partners, sponsors, advertisers, affiliates and service providers of Design Speech from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to (a) your use or misuse of Design Speech, (b) your breach of Design Speech Terms and Conditions, (c) your violation of any law or of any right of a third party, including intellectual property and privacy rights, and (d) any information you provide through Design Speech or to the third-party services reached through Design Speech. The obligation to indemnify survives any end of your use of Design Speech.

6. Intellectual Property

Featured works. The watch and eyewear designs, products, projects, photographs, renderings, descriptions, names, logos and trademarks featured on Design Speech 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 Speech for editorial purposes, and the presentation of a work on Design Speech leaves every single right with the respective owners.

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

7. Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising

Design Speech 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 Speech, 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 Speech is delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the privacy-first advertising solution provider of Design Speech. 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 Speech, such as the Design Speech Submit Design page, the Design Speech Newsletter page and the Design Speech Encyclopedia page, work in two steps. You provide a few details on design-speech.com and may then be forwarded to a partner service that carries out the actual service. The partner service, and not Design Speech, 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 also 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 Speech for lawful purposes, to access design-speech.com through ordinary browsing and search engine indexing rather than through robots, crawlers, scrapers, bots or other automated means, to respect the security and availability of design-speech.com, its servers and its networks, to provide truthful information through the forms of Design Speech, and to keep every credit, copyright, trademark and other notice intact.

10. Availability and Changes

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

11. Governing Law

Design Speech Terms and Conditions, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with Design Speech, are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction of the publisher of Design Speech identified in the Design Speech 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 Speech 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 Speech Terms and Conditions, together with the Design Speech Privacy Policy and the Design Speech Cookies Policy, form the entire agreement regarding the use of Design Speech.

13. Contact
