Terms and Conditions
Effective date: November 2026
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of www.gritandpearldesignco.com (the “Website”), operated by doing business as Grit + Pearl Design Co. (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
Please review these terms before using the Website. If you do not agree with them, please discontinue use.
1. Website Purpose
This Website provides information about Grit + Pearl Design Co., our design approach, our portfolio, and our services. Its content is provided for general informational and inspirational purposes.
Website content is not project-specific architectural, engineering, construction, legal, or other professional advice. Do not rely on images, sketches, descriptions, or other materials on this Website as construction documents or instructions.
2. Inquiries and Client Relationships
Submitting an inquiry, requesting a consultation, or communicating with us through the Website does not establish a client relationship, reserve project availability, or obligate either party to proceed.
Design services begin only after we mutually agree to the engagement requirements set out in a separate written agreement.
Project scope, fees, payments, purchasing, schedules, revisions, cancellations, and other service obligations are governed by that agreement. If these Website terms conflict with a signed service agreement, the signed agreement controls for those services.
3. Intellectual Property
Website materials—including text, photographs, graphics, logos, drawings, and other creative content—are owned by Grit + Pearl Design Co. or their respective owners and are subject to applicable intellectual property protections.
You may view the Website for personal, noncommercial purposes and to evaluate our services. Except as permitted by law, you may not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, sell, or commercially exploit protected Website materials without permission from the appropriate rights holder.
Displaying third-party photographs, trademarks, or other materials does not transfer ownership of those materials to us or grant visitors permission to reuse them.
For permission requests, contact hello@gritandpearldesignco.com.
4. Portfolio and Project Examples
Portfolio images, concepts, sketches, and project descriptions illustrate selected work and design approaches. They do not guarantee that the same results, materials, pricing, or timelines will be available for another project.
Each project depends on its scope, site conditions, budget, product availability, and other circumstances. Colors and finishes may also appear differently across screens and lighting conditions.
Testimonials reflect individual experiences and do not guarantee a particular result.
5. Information You Submit
When submitting an inquiry or project materials, please provide accurate information and only share materials you own or have permission to provide.
You authorize us to review and use those materials as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, evaluate your project, and provide services you request, subject to any separate agreement.
Submitting materials does not transfer their ownership to us or grant permission for public promotional use.
Please do not submit unlawful content or materials that infringe another person’s rights.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Website to:
Violate applicable laws or the rights of others.
Submit fraudulent, threatening, abusive, or unlawful material.

Copy or exploit protected content beyond what applicable law or permission allows.
We may take reasonable steps to restrict access where necessary to address misuse or protect the Website.
7. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, vendors, or collaborators.
Those websites and services are independently operated and governed by their own terms and privacy policies. A link does not, by itself, constitute a guarantee of their products, services, or content.
Any responsibilities we undertake concerning vendors or collaborators for your project will be addressed in your separate service agreement.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal information through the Website.
Please review that policy before submitting personal information.

Nothing in these terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grit + Pearl Design Co. will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this Website.
This provision concerns Website use only. Liability relating to design services is addressed in the applicable service agreement.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or intentional misconduct.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the state of Florida, United States, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Nothing in these terms removes any mandatory consumer protections available to you under applicable law.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms as our Website or business practices change. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
Changes will apply prospectively and will not modify an existing signed service agreement. Where legally required, we will provide additional notice or request agreement to material changes.
