Intellectual Property & User Content Terms
These Terms are between you (the “User”) and Smashed Clay Co., or Smashed Studio (collectively “Smashed Studio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By ordering from Smashed Studio, or by using our website, social media, or services, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
Ownership of Content
- All content on our website, social media, and services—including but not limited to text, graphics, images, logos, designs, and other materials—is owned by Smashed Studio or licensed from others and is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property laws.
- You do not acquire any ownership rights to our content, tools, processes, or digital assets through the use of our services.
- You may not copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without prior written consent from Smashed Studio.
Trademarks & Proprietary Notices
- All trademarks, service marks, and trade names (including Smashed Studio logos) are owned, registered, or licensed by Smashed Studio.
- You do not acquire a license or any ownership rights to these trademarks, service marks, or trade names through your access or use of our website, social media, or services.
- You may not remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices found on materials accessed, viewed, or downloaded from our website, social media, or services.
Limited License to Use Our Website Content
- Subject to your compliance with these terms, Smashed Studio grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to access and view the content on our website, social media, and services for personal, non-commercial use only, unless you have entered into a separate agreement with us as an authorized reseller or licensee.
- This limited license does not grant you the right to use our content for commercial purposes or transfer any ownership of our content to you, except when expressly permitted under a separate written agreement.
- We reserve the right to revoke this license or restrict your access to our website, social media, and services at any time, without prior notice, for any reason.
Ownership & Usage of Custom Designs
- The design file, sketch, or artwork you provide (your “Original Submission”) remains yours. We will use it solely to manufacture your custom product and will not resell or share your exact Original Submission with others.
- Any proprietary production file we create for manufacturing is owned exclusively by Smashed Studio and is not provided to you. In our sole discretion and for an additional fee, we may provide you with an electronic version of the custom design for your personal use.
- Submitting a design does not grant you exclusive rights to shapes, profiles, or design elements. We retain the right to develop and sell products that may share common features or design characteristics, as similar designs may already exist or be independently developed in the future.
Order Process and Proof Approval
- After you place your order, we’ll create a proof and send it to you for approval or changes. If you wish to make any alterations affecting the price after placing your order but before approving the proof, please email us with the details. We’ll provide an updated proof and invoice prior to production. Once the proof is approved, no further changes can be made.
License to Use Submitted Content
By submitting a design, sketch, or other content, you confirm that:
- You have all necessary rights to use and submit the content.
- Your submission does not infringe on any copyrights, trademarks, or intellectual property rights of others.
- You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use your submitted content only for the purpose of manufacturing your product.
User-Generated Content & Social Media Interactions
- By engaging with Smashed Studio—for example, by posting comments, pictures, reviews, or sending ideas and suggestions on our website, social media, or through any user-generated content—you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, and display that content for promotional, marketing, product development, or other business purposes, without any obligation to compensate or acknowledge you. This includes any ideas, suggestions, or feedback (collectively “Feedback”) regarding new designs, modifications, or general improvements, which we may incorporate into our products or services at our discretion.
- We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to remove or modify content we deem inappropriate, offensive, or in violation of intellectual property laws.
Personalized and custom items are final sale and are not eligible for return.
Smashed Studio will not issue refunds for the items purchased if you provided the incorrect shipping address, delivery was attempted and “refused,” or the package was otherwise disposed of by the shipping carrier. If your items are delivered to Smashed Studio marked “return to sender,” you can request and pay for a new shipping label via email.
