Except where otherwise indicated, original content created by Blue Dozen Design is protected by copyright.

You may view and use the website for ordinary personal or business informational purposes.

You may also link to our pages and make reasonable quotations or references consistent with applicable copyright law.

Blue Dozen Design Work

This website contains examples of design, branding, website development, illustration, writing, strategy, and other professional work.

Displaying work in our portfolio does not place that work in the public domain or grant visitors a license to reuse it.

Individual projects may contain intellectual property owned by Blue Dozen Design, our clients, third parties, or some combination of those parties.

You should not assume that material shown in a portfolio or case study is available for reuse simply because it is publicly visible.

Client Logos, Brands and Materials

Client names, trademarks, logos, photographs, copy, products, and other materials displayed in portfolio examples or case studies may belong to their respective owners.

Their appearance on this website does not imply that Blue Dozen Design owns those materials or can grant you permission to use them.

All third-party trademarks and intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners.

The Machine Shop and Interactive Systems

Blue Dozen Design creates custom interactive website systems, tools, calculators, assessments, recommenders, directories, decision systems, generators, and other purpose-built digital experiences. We collectively present this capability through The Machine Shop.

Some Machine Shop examples may be available publicly for demonstration, entertainment, informational, or interactive use.

Making one of these systems publicly accessible does not grant permission to reproduce it.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Blue Dozen Design retains its rights in original elements of these systems, which may include:

Concepts and implementation
Interface design
Original copy
Custom code
Data organization
Decision structures
Scoring methodologies
Logic systems
Question and answer structures
Taxonomies
Recommendation methods
Original datasets
Presentation systems
Naming and terminology
Documentation
Other protectable original elements

You may use publicly available Machine Shop features for their intended purpose.

You may not copy, clone, reproduce, repackage, resell, reverse engineer, systematically extract, or commercially exploit protected elements of these systems without authorization, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

Independent ideas, general concepts, mathematical principles, facts, and other material not protected by intellectual-property law are not made proprietary merely by appearing on this website.

Source Code and Technical Materials

Some portions of this website necessarily deliver HTML, CSS, JavaScript, structured data, and other technical materials to your browser.

The fact that browser-delivered code can be viewed does not, by itself, grant permission to copy or commercially reuse protected original code.

Open-source software and third-party libraries used by the website remain subject to their respective licenses.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to restrict rights granted to you by an applicable open-source license.

Trademarks and Names

Blue Dozen Design names, logos, service names, product names, and other distinctive branding may be protected by trademark or other applicable law.

You may refer to Blue Dozen Design accurately in ordinary discussion, commentary, reviews, links, and similar contexts.

You may not use our branding in a manner that falsely suggests sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, affiliation, or authorization.

Third-party trademarks appearing on the website belong to their respective owners.

Portfolio Results and Case Studies

Case studies and portfolio descriptions are intended to explain our work, process, and experience.

Every business, website, market, and project is different.

Examples of past performance, growth, traffic, conversions, sales, search visibility, or other outcomes are descriptions of particular projects and are not guarantees that another project will produce identical or comparable results.

We don’t promise business results simply because you saw somebody else’s results on our website.

Testimonials

Testimonials and reviews appearing on this website reflect the experiences and opinions of the people who provided them.

They are not guarantees that every client will have an identical experience or outcome.

We may edit testimonials for formatting, spelling, length, or clarity where appropriate without intentionally changing their meaning.

Information on This Website

We make reasonable efforts to keep the website useful and accurate, but website content is provided primarily for general informational and marketing purposes.

Information may become outdated.

Nothing on this website should automatically be treated as professional legal, financial, accounting, tax, medical, cybersecurity, accessibility-compliance, or other regulated professional advice.

When a matter requires specialized professional advice, consult an appropriately qualified professional.

Accessibility Information

Blue Dozen Design works to make this website reasonably accessible and usable.

Our accessibility goals and procedures are described separately in our Accessibility Statement.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as a guarantee that every page, feature, third-party integration, archived item, or piece of content conforms perfectly to every accessibility standard in every technical environment.

If you encounter an accessibility problem, please contact us so we can investigate it and, where reasonably possible, provide an alternative means of accessing the relevant information or service.

Estimates, Pricing and Service Descriptions

Prices, project ranges, timelines, service descriptions, examples, and other information appearing on this website are general information unless expressly stated otherwise.

They do not constitute a binding proposal, quote, contract, or guarantee.

A project becomes subject to binding terms when Blue Dozen Design and the client enter into the applicable written agreement.

No Client Relationship Created by Visiting the Site

Browsing this website, using a public tool, subscribing to a mailing list, or sending us an inquiry does not by itself create a client relationship.

A professional engagement begins only when the parties enter into an applicable agreement or otherwise expressly establish that relationship.

We may decline an inquiry or proposed project.

Client Agreements Control

Professional services provided by Blue Dozen Design may be governed by a separate written agreement, proposal, statement of work, Schedule A, or other project document.

If there is a conflict between these website Terms of Use and a signed agreement governing professional services, the signed agreement controls with respect to those services to the extent of the conflict.

Submitting Information to Us

If you send us information through a contact form, email, project inquiry, or other communication, you represent that you have the right to provide that information.

Please don’t send confidential proprietary material, passwords, financial account information, medical information, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive information through a general website contact form unless we have specifically requested it through an appropriate method.

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

Feedback and Suggestions

We appreciate feedback about our website and services.

If you voluntarily send us general feedback, suggestions, bug reports, or ideas about improving the website or our existing services, you understand that we may use that feedback without an obligation to compensate you.

This provision does not transfer ownership of your independently created intellectual property to Blue Dozen Design.

Third-Party Websites

This website contains links to websites and services operated by third parties.

We provide those links for convenience, reference, attribution, portfolio presentation, or because we think they may be useful.

Blue Dozen Design does not control independent third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, security, availability, accuracy, accessibility, products, services, or privacy practices.

A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.

Use third-party websites at your own discretion and subject to their respective terms.

Third-Party Software and Services

This website may depend on software and services provided by third parties, including hosting providers, WordPress, plugins, analytics services, embedded media, fonts, security services, form systems, and other technologies.

Those products and services may occasionally experience errors, interruptions, changes, or outages outside our control.

We are not responsible for the independent acts or omissions of third-party service providers.

Website Availability

We’d like the website to work all the time. The internet occasionally has other plans.

We don’t guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or free from every technical problem.

We may change, update, suspend, remove, repair, or discontinue any portion of the website when reasonably necessary.

Security

You may not attempt to interfere with the security or proper operation of this website.

Prohibited activity includes unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability exploitation, credential attacks, malicious automated traffic, malware distribution, denial-of-service activity, or deliberate attempts to damage or disrupt the website or systems associated with it.

Good-faith reports of legitimate security vulnerabilities are not considered malicious activity merely because they identify a problem.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this website and its publicly available content and functionality are provided “as is” and “as available.”

Blue Dozen Design makes no warranty that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely secure, or suitable for every particular purpose.

Nothing in this section limits warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Blue Dozen Design will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising solely from your use of, or inability to use, this public website.

This includes, where legally permissible, losses associated with reliance on general website information, third-party websites, website interruptions, or publicly available interactive features.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Liability arising from paid professional services is governed by the applicable client agreement rather than this website provision where such an agreement applies.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your unlawful use of this website, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another party’s rights.

This provision does not require you to indemnify Blue Dozen Design for liability caused solely by Blue Dozen Design’s own conduct where such indemnification would be prohibited by law.

Copyright Concerns

Blue Dozen Design respects the intellectual-property rights of others.

If you believe material appearing on this website infringes a copyright or other intellectual-property right that you own or are authorized to represent, please contact us with enough information to identify:

The protected work
The material you believe is infringing
Where the material appears on our website
Your contact information
The basis for your claim

We will review legitimate notices and respond as appropriate.

Changes to the Website

Blue Dozen Design may modify, replace, add, or remove website content, services, features, tools, and functionality at any time.

Older screenshots, search-engine results, cached pages, archived copies, or third-party references may therefore differ from the current website.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use as our website, services, technology, or legal obligations change.

The current version will be posted on this page with its most recent revision date.

Your continued use of the website following an update is subject to the revised Terms, except where applicable law requires additional notice or consent.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms deprives a consumer or other individual of protections that cannot legally be waived.

Severability

If a provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the extent reasonably necessary to make it enforceable where permitted by law.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

No Waiver

If Blue Dozen Design does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not constitute a permanent waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it later.

Entire Website Agreement

These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy and other policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the terms governing use of this public website.

They do not replace separate agreements governing paid professional services.
