TERMS & CONDITIONS
Effective Date: August 3, 2026
Last Updated: August 3, 2026
Business Name: Golden Designs Co., LLC, doing business as GOLDENMADE Studio
Website: https://www.goldenmadestudio.com
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of goldenmadestudio.com and its related pages, content, features, and materials (collectively, the “Website”).
The Website is operated by Golden Designs Co., LLC, doing business as GOLDENMADE Studio (“GOLDENMADE Studio,” “GOLDENMADE,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website.
WEBSITE PURPOSE
GOLDENMADE Studio provides branding, illustration, creative direction, and related design services. The Website is provided for general informational, promotional, and business purposes.
Information appearing on the Website does not constitute a binding offer, guarantee, or professional legal, financial, or business advice.
Submitting an inquiry, application, or contact form does not create a client relationship, reserve availability, or obligate GOLDENMADE Studio to accept a project.
A client relationship is created only after all required onboarding steps have been completed, which may include signing a separate client agreement and paying the applicable non-refundable deposit or other initial payment.
ELIGIBILITY
The Website is intended for individuals who are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement.
By using the Website, you represent that you meet these requirements. If you are accessing the Website on behalf of a business or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
SERVICES, AVAILABILITY, RATES, AND PRICING
Descriptions of services, packages, deliverables, availability, timelines, and pricing displayed on the Website are provided for general informational purposes.
Rates, pricing, packages, service descriptions, deliverables, availability, and policies are subject to change without notice. Website pricing does not reserve a project date or create a binding obligation to provide services at the displayed price.
We reserve the right to:
Modify or discontinue a service or package;
Decline an inquiry or project at our discretion;
Correct pricing, typographical, or descriptive errors;
Limit availability or the number of projects accepted; and
Provide a customized scope, timeline, or price based on the needs of a particular project.
Once a separate client agreement is signed, the pricing, payment schedule, deliverables, timeline, ownership provisions, and other project-specific terms contained in that agreement will control.
If these Website Terms conflict with a signed client agreement, the signed client agreement will control with respect to that client and project.
NO GUARANTEE OF AVAILABILITY OR RESULTS
Project dates and availability are not guaranteed until the applicable client agreement has been signed and all required initial payments have been received.
Any estimated timelines displayed or discussed before booking are estimates only and may change based on availability, project scope, client responsiveness, third-party delays, or other circumstances.
We do not guarantee any particular commercial, financial, legal, marketing, search-engine, audience-growth, sales, or business result from using the Website or purchasing our services.
Branding and creative services involve subjective considerations, and results may vary based on factors outside our control.

No right, title, license, or interest in the Website or its content is transferred to you by your use of the Website.

The Website may display work created for clients. Client names, trademarks, photographs, written content, products, or other client-owned materials remain the property of their respective owners.
Design work created by GOLDENMADE Studio is displayed in accordance with the applicable client agreement, license, authorization, or other legal right.
Displaying client work on the Website does not grant Website visitors permission to reproduce, use, imitate, modify, or distribute that work.
Ownership, licensing, portfolio rights, and permitted uses for an individual client project are governed by the applicable signed client agreement.
INQUIRIES AND MATERIALS YOU SUBMIT
You may voluntarily provide information or materials through inquiry forms, applications, questionnaires, emails, uploads, or other Website features.

Determine project fit and availability;
Prepare a proposal or service recommendation;
Communicate with you;
Provide requested services if you become a client;

You represent that:
The information you submit is accurate and not intentionally misleading;
You own or have permission to provide the submitted materials;
Our receipt and reasonable review of the materials will not infringe another party’s rights; and
The materials do not contain unlawful, defamatory, threatening, malicious, or harmful content.

Information submitted before a client agreement or separate confidentiality agreement is signed may not be treated as confidential except as required by law or described in our Privacy Policy.
