For professional, legal, financial, purchasing, investment, design, veterinary or pet care advice, please consult a qualified and licensed professional, because content on Design Gizmo is general information and carries no offer, endorsement, recommendation or guarantee of any product, service, person or company. Design Gizmo is an independent editorial publication, so to purchase featured pet care 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 Gizmo.

6. Intellectual Property

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

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

7. Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising

Design Gizmo 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 Gizmo, 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 Gizmo is delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the privacy-first advertising solution provider of Design Gizmo. Advertisements are supplied by third parties, and each advertised product, service or advertiser remains solely 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 Gizmo, such as the Design Gizmo Submit Design page, the Design Gizmo Newsletter page and the Design Gizmo Encyclopedia page, work in two steps. You provide a few details on designgizmo.com and may then be forwarded to a partner service that carries out the actual service. The partner service, and not Design Gizmo, 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 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 Gizmo for lawful purposes, to access designgizmo.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 designgizmo.com, its servers and its networks, to provide truthful information through the forms of Design Gizmo, and to keep every credit, copyright, trademark and other notice intact.

10. Availability and Changes

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

11. Governing Law

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