Terms & Conditions

The short version

These terms cover using designedby.agency. They’re written in plain English. The website is for learning about the studio and getting in touch. Actual design projects are covered by a separate written agreement we both sign before any work starts.

Agreement

By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. “We,” “us” and “our” mean Designedby.Agency, a logo and brand identity studio in Deltona, Florida, operated by Michael Fantauzzi. “You” means anyone using the site.

Projects and pricing

Every project is fixed scope and agreed in writing before work starts. That written proposal or agreement sets out the scope, price, payment schedule, timeline, number of revision rounds, cancellation terms and what you own at the end. If anything on this website conflicts with your signed agreement, the agreement wins.

Prices on this site, like “projects start at $1,200,” are starting points, not offers or quotes. Sending a brief, booking a call or using the site chat doesn’t create a contract or a client relationship. That only happens once we both sign an agreement.

Ownership of the work you hire us for

Unless your agreement says otherwise, once you’ve paid in full, you own the final approved logo and brand files we deliver to you. Concepts and drafts you didn’t choose stay with us. We may show completed work in our portfolio, on social media and in case studies unless you ask us not to in writing.

Our content

The website itself, including its design, text, graphics and articles, belongs to Designedby.Agency. Client work shown on the site belongs to those clients and is shown with their permission, and their names and logos are their trademarks. You’re welcome to share links to our pages. Please don’t copy, republish or sell our content or our clients’ work without written permission.

Articles and the site chat

Our blog articles and chat answers are general information to help you think through branding decisions. They’re not legal, tax, financial or regulatory advice. Laws change, especially rules like the Florida and federal regulations we cover for smoke shops, so check with a qualified professional before relying on anything for your business. We work to keep articles accurate and cite our sources, but we can’t promise they’re always current.

Using the site

Please use the site lawfully. Don’t try to break it, overload it, get into parts that aren’t public, send spam or false information through our forms, or use automated tools to scrape it in a way that harms it.

Other sites and services

The site links to services we don’t run, like Google Calendar for booking, Gumroad for our shop, and social media. Your use of those is covered by their own terms. Orders in our shop are handled by Gumroad under their terms and policies. Our digital products can’t be refunded once they’re delivered.

No warranties

We work hard to keep the site accurate and working, but it’s provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent the law allows, we don’t guarantee that it will always be available, error-free or up to date.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by Florida law, Designedby.Agency isn’t liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the website or anything on it. This section is about the website. Liability for paid projects is set out in your project agreement.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any dispute about the website will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Volusia County, Florida.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the date at the top of this page. Using the site after an update means you accept the new terms.
