Original materials of The Design Magazine.

7. Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising
The Design Magazine contains links to, and content from, third parties, including the A' Design Award & Competition, Designers.org, the Design Encyclopedia and other partner and affiliated websites.

Advertising shown on The Design Magazine is delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the privacy-first advertising solution provider of The Design Magazine.

Some features of The Design Magazine, such as the The Design Magazine Submit Design page, the The Design Magazine Newsletter page and the The Design Magazine Encyclopedia page, work in two steps. You provide a few details on thedesignmagazine.org and may then be forwarded to a partner service that carries out the actual service. The partner service, and not The Design Magazine, is responsible for processing your information and for everything that happens after the forwarding, under the terms and the privacy policy of that service. You also agree to provide accurate and truthful information and to enter only information that belongs to you or that you are authorized to share.
9. Acceptable Use

The Design Magazine Terms and Conditions, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with The Design Magazine, are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction of the publisher of The Design Magazine identified in the The Design Magazine Impressum, without regard to conflict of law rules and principles, and the competent courts of that jurisdiction have jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise.
12. General Provisions
If any provision of The Design Magazine Terms and Conditions is found invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Any delay in enforcing any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
