terms of service

about these terms

These terms describe the conditions for using the Karlfred Design LLC website. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These website terms do not by themselves create a client relationship or authorize paid work.

design services and project agreements

Project scope, pricing, deposits, payment dates, revisions, deadlines, cancellation, licensing, and ownership of deliverables are established in a separate written proposal or agreement. Sending an inquiry does not reserve services or create a binding project commitment. If a signed project agreement conflicts with these website terms, that agreement governs the project.

website content and intellectual property

Website text, graphics, designs, logos, and portfolio materials are owned by Karlfred Design LLC, its clients, or other respective rights holders. You may view the site and share links for lawful purposes. Reproducing, modifying, distributing, or commercially using protected materials requires permission from the relevant rights holder, except where permitted by law. Displaying client work does not transfer rights in that work to visitors.

acceptable use

Do not use the site for unlawful purposes, interfere with its operation, introduce malicious code, attempt unauthorized access, impersonate another person, or infringe the rights of others. Any materials you send for a project must be materials you are authorized to share. Permissions for using client materials in commissioned work are addressed in the project agreement.

portfolio examples and results

Portfolio descriptions illustrate particular projects and the information available when they were written. Examples and client outcomes are not guarantees of future results, revenue, search rankings, or business growth. Services and availability may change; confirm current details directly with us.

third-party services and links

Third-party websites and services have their own terms and privacy practices. Links do not imply that Karlfred Design LLC controls their content, availability, or conduct. Hosting and private-preview access may also be subject to the hosting provider’s terms.

availability and warranties

We aim to keep this website useful and accurate, but do not promise uninterrupted access or error-free, complete, or current content. To the extent permitted by law, the website is provided as is and as available, without implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement. Warranties for paid work, if any, are governed by the separate project agreement.

limits of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Karlfred Design LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to use, this website. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Liability relating to commissioned services is addressed in the applicable project agreement.

governing law and questions

These website terms are governed by the laws of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, subject to any mandatory protections that apply to you. Please contact Karl Ziemer first if you have a question or concern about the site so we can try to resolve it. These terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or waive rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

changes and severability

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version and effective date. Changes to a signed project agreement require the process specified in that agreement. If a provision of these website terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
