Design Services Disclaimer

Casmora Studio provides creative design services. This disclaimer sets out the limits of what those services include, what they can reasonably promise, and where responsibility sits for matters outside our control. It is written plainly and on purpose: we would rather set an accurate expectation at the start than manage a disappointed one at the end.

1. Design Improves Communication, It Does Not Guarantee Outcomes

Good design makes a business easier to understand, easier to trust, and easier to act on. It does not, on its own, determine commercial results. We make no representation or warranty that our work will produce any particular level of sales, revenue, traffic, engagement, conversion rate, follower growth, investment, search ranking, or press coverage.

Business outcomes depend on many things we do not control, including your product, your pricing, your market, your competitors, your timing, the budget behind your campaigns, and the quality of your operations. Any figure or example discussed during a call is illustrative and is not a forecast or a promise.

2. Design Involves Subjective Judgment

Design decisions are informed by experience, research, and craft, but taste remains subjective. Two capable designers can arrive at different, equally defensible solutions to the same brief. Our process is built around this reality: we present direction for approval before we produce at volume, so that disagreements surface early. Once you have approved a direction and we have executed it faithfully, a later change of taste is a new brief rather than a fault in the work.

3. We Do Not Provide Legal, Financial, or Regulatory Advice

Nothing we produce or say constitutes legal, trademark, financial, tax, medical, or regulatory advice. If your project touches a regulated area, such as claims about health, finance, safety, or compliance labeling, you are responsible for having the content reviewed by a qualified professional before it is published. We will design what you approve; we cannot verify that it is lawful in your industry or jurisdiction.

4. Trademark and Clearance Searches Are Not Included

Unless the proposal expressly says otherwise, we do not conduct trademark searches, clearance checks, or availability checks of any kind. A name, wordmark, or logo we design may resemble a mark already registered by another party in some class or territory, and we cannot know that without a professional search.

Before you adopt, register, or invest in a new identity, engage a qualified trademark attorney to conduct a clearance search. Responsibility for the legal availability and registrability of a name or mark rests with you.

5. Fonts, Stock Assets, and Licensing

Most typefaces, stock photographs, illustrations, and icon sets are licensed rather than owned, and licenses are often limited by use, by audience size, or by time. Where a project requires a licensed asset, we will identify it and tell you what license is needed. Unless the proposal includes the cost, purchasing and maintaining that license is your responsibility. If a license expires or is exceeded, your right to keep using the asset ends, and any resulting claim is a matter between you and the licensor.

6. Implementation by Others

We frequently hand off design to a developer, printer, agency, or in-house team who then implement it. Once a design leaves our hands, we do not control how it is built, coded, printed, animated, resized, or edited. We are not responsible for the quality, accuracy, performance, security, or accessibility of a third party's implementation of our design, or for changes made to our files after delivery.

7. Color, Print, and Device Variation

Color is not absolute. It varies between screens, calibrations, browsers, materials, inks, and printing processes. A color that looks correct on your monitor may print differently on uncoated stock, or appear differently on a phone in daylight. We supply appropriate color values for the intended use, but exact reproduction across every medium and device cannot be guaranteed, and we recommend a physical proof before any large print run.

8. Accessibility Guidance Is Best Effort

Where a project calls for it, we design with accessibility in mind, including contrast, legible type sizes, and clear hierarchy. Unless the proposal expressly includes an accessibility audit, our work is not a certified accessibility assessment, and we do not warrant conformance with any specific standard or law. Final conformance depends on implementation, content, and ongoing maintenance, which are outside our control.

9. Third-Party Platforms Change

Social platforms, marketplaces, and website builders change their layouts, image dimensions, safe areas, and requirements without notice. Assets that are correct on the date of delivery may need to be adjusted later as a platform evolves. Ongoing maintenance of that kind is a new engagement, not a defect in the original work.

10. Estimates, Timelines, and Availability

Prices shown on our website are starting points intended to help you gauge whether we are a fit. They are not quotes. Timelines given before a proposal is issued are estimates based on incomplete information. Both are confirmed only in a written proposal, and both depend on the scope agreed and on receiving your materials, feedback, and approvals on time.

11. Content You Supply

We rely on the accuracy of the information, copy, data, and assets you give us. We do not fact-check your claims, verify your statistics, or proofread supplied copy unless the proposal includes it. If incorrect information appears in a delivered design because it was supplied to us that way and approved by you, correcting it is chargeable work.

12. Portfolio and Examples

Any testimonial, review, or example of past work shown on this website describes the experience of an individual client on an individual project. It is not a guarantee, a warranty, or a prediction that your project will produce a comparable result.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Casmora Studio is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from the use of our designs, including lost profit, lost revenue, lost data, or reputational harm. Our total liability in relation to any project is limited to the amount you have actually paid us for that project. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14. Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer as our services evolve. The current version is always the one published on this page, and the "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
