4.2 User-submitted content

If you submit content to the Site — through comments, contact forms, or otherwise — you grant DecorQuarter a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and display that content in connection with the Site. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the content you submit.

We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove user-submitted content at our discretion, without notice.

5. Third-party content and links

The Site contains links to third-party websites, products, and services — including, in the future, affiliate links (see our Affiliate Disclosure). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or business practices of third parties. Links are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement.

Your interactions with third parties are solely between you and those parties. DecorQuarter is not responsible for any loss or damage resulting from those interactions.

6. Product recommendations and editorial opinions

6.1 Nature of our content

Our articles contain editorial opinions, style recommendations, product suggestions, and general decorating advice. This content is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only. It is not professional interior design advice, and it does not substitute for consultation with a qualified professional.

6.2 No warranty on products

We do not manufacture, sell, or warrant any of the products mentioned on the Site. All products are offered by third-party retailers or manufacturers. Any product warranties, guarantees, or return policies are provided by those third parties — not by DecorQuarter.

Prices, availability, and product specifications mentioned in our articles are accurate as of publication but change over time. We update articles as conditions permit but cannot guarantee that information remains current.

6.3 Results may vary

Decorating outcomes depend on many factors we cannot control — your space, your taste, your specific products, how you style them, and more. Our guides provide general principles and tested suggestions, but we make no promises about specific results.

7. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION.

We do not warrant that:

  • The Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
  • Defects will be corrected
  • The Site or the server that makes it available is free of viruses or other harmful components
  • The information on the Site is complete, accurate, or up to date

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DECORQUARTER AND ITS TEAM, CONTRIBUTORS, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION — ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE PRECEDING TWELVE MONTHS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in such cases, the limitations above apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DecorQuarter, its team, contributors, and affiliates from any claim, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of:

  • Your use of the Site
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any rights of a third party
  • Any content you submit to the Site

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for any reason — including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Site ceases immediately.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

11. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [JURISDICTION, e.g., the State of Delaware, United States], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved in the courts located in that jurisdiction, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
