Featured works. The building components, smart living, architectural lighting and other designs, products, projects, photographs, renderings, descriptions, names, logos and trademarks featured on The Design Gazette 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 Gazette for editorial or entertainment purposes, and the presentation of a work on The Design Gazette leaves every single right with the respective owners.

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

7. Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising

The Design Gazette 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 Gazette, 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 discretion and subject to the terms of the respective third party.

Advertising shown on The Design Gazette is delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the privacy-first advertising solution provider of The Design Gazette. 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.

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

The Design Gazette 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 Gazette after a revision means that you accept the revised The Design Gazette Terms and Conditions.

11. Governing Law

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