Featured works. The idea, installation, digital art and other designs, products, projects, photographs, renderings, descriptions, names, logos and trademarks featured on The Design Blog 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 The Design Blog for editorial purposes, and the presentation of a work on The Design Blog leaves every single right with the respective owners.

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

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

7. Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising

The Design Blog 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 The Design Blog, 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 subject to the terms of the respective third party.

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

8. Forms and Forwarding to Third-Party Services

Some features of The Design Blog, such as the The Design Blog Submit Design page, the The Design Blog Newsletter page and the The Design Blog Encyclopedia page, work in two simple steps. You provide a few details on thedesignblog.net and may then be forwarded to a partner service that carries out the actual service. The partner service, and not The Design Blog, 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 The Design Blog for lawful purposes, to access thedesignblog.net 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 thedesignblog.net, its servers and its networks, to provide truthful information through the forms of The Design Blog, and to keep every credit, copyright, trademark and other notice intact.

10. Availability and Changes

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

11. Governing Law

The Design Blog Terms and Conditions, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with The Design Blog, are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction of the publisher of The Design Blog identified in the The Design Blog 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 The Design Blog 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.
