Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 19 July 2026

These terms cover your use of the Berlew Limited website at berlew.co.uk (the “Site”), including our blog, guides, case studies, free tools, and any downloadable or interactive materials we publish here.

They are website terms only. They do not set the commercial terms for paid design, branding, web, print, or subscription work. Those sit in a separate private contract or proposal when we take you on as a client.

By using the Site you accept these terms. If you do not agree, please leave the Site.

Who we are

The Site is operated by Berlew Limited, trading as Berlew Design Studio. We are based in Nottingham, United Kingdom. For day-to-day contact use the forms on the Site or start a project.

What this Site is for

berlew.co.uk is a marketing and resources site. You can read about our work, browse the portfolio, use free tools, and send an enquiry.

We do not sell products through a checkout on this Site. There are no user accounts for the public Site. Submitting a form or email does not create a client relationship, start a project, or oblige us to provide services. Paid work begins only when both sides agree in a separate written proposal or contract.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page is the current one, with the date above. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated terms. Check back if you rely on a specific clause.

Access and availability

We aim to keep the Site useful and online, but we do not promise uninterrupted access, error-free pages, or that every tool will always work on every device or browser.

We may suspend, withdraw, or change any part of the Site (including tools and articles) for maintenance, security, or business reasons, without notice.

You are responsible for your own device security, antivirus, and how you connect to the internet.

Acceptable use

Use the Site lawfully and in good faith. You must not:

• Break any applicable law or regulation while using the Site
• Try to gain unauthorised access to the Site, our servers, hosting, or related systems
• Introduce viruses, malware, scrapers that abuse the service, or other harmful material
• Attack or overload the Site (including denial-of-service style activity)
• Send spam, phishing, or unsolicited marketing through our forms or contact channels
• Harvest emails, form data, or personal details from the Site without our written permission
• Probe, scan, or test vulnerabilities except where we have invited that in writing (for example a disclosed security programme)

We may block access or ignore submissions where we believe the Site is being misused.

Intellectual property on this Site

Unless we say otherwise, Berlew Limited (and where relevant our licensors) own the intellectual property in the Site and its content. That includes text, layout, graphics, photography we own, logos, UI, design patterns, code, tooling, and how pages are put together.

You may:

• View the Site in a browser for your own information
• Print or save a modest number of pages for personal, non-commercial reference
• Share a normal link to a public URL on the Site

You must not, without our prior written permission:

• Copy, republish, mirror, or redistribute Site content at scale (articles, guides, case-study write-ups, tool output presented as your product, or substantial excerpts)
• Sell, rent, license, or commercially exploit Site content or tools
• Scrape the Site to train models, build competing datasets, or power another product
• Remove credits, copyright notices, or attribution where we have included them
• Use our name, logo, or brand assets to imply partnership or endorsement

Short quotation for criticism, review, or private study is fine where UK copyright law already allows it. If you quote publicly, name Berlew Design Studio and link to the source page. Wholesale reuse of posts, guides, or tool copy is not allowed.

Client logos and marks shown in our work remain their owners’ property. Portfolio pieces are examples of past work, not a promise of the same outcome for you.

Free tools, code, and interactive resources

We publish free tools on the Site (for example colour, grid, brief, and ROI helpers) for visitors to use in their own work. “Use” means running them in the browser for a genuine personal or business task.

You must not:

• Redistribute, resell, or rehost our tools (or close copies) as your own product or SaaS
• Extract, copy, or reverse-engineer the underlying code, scripts, styles, or assets to rebuild the same tool elsewhere
• Wrap our tools in another site or app so users think the tool is yours
• Strip branding or attribution from tool interfaces or exported results where we have included them
• Use automated means to hammer the tools in a way that harms performance for other visitors

Unless a specific tool page says otherwise, tool output is provided as-is for your convenience. You remain responsible for how you apply that output in live brands, print, or production work.

Any open-source or third-party libraries we use stay under their own licences. Those licences are not transferred to you beyond what they already grant.

Blog, guides, and editorial content

Articles, guides, and similar editorial pages are for reading and learning. You may link to them and quote briefly with clear attribution.

You may not republish full posts (or near-full copies) on your site, newsletter, or product, scrape them into another CMS, or pass them off as your writing. If you want to syndicate or reuse something longer, ask us first.

Opinions and examples in editorial content are general information, not tailored advice for your business.

Third-party links

The Site may link out to client sites, platforms, references, or other third parties. Those sites have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or what happens when you leave berlew.co.uk.

Linking to us

You may link to public pages on the Site in a way that is fair, accurate, and not misleading. Do not frame our pages inside another site so that our branding or layout is obscured. Do not use our logo as a link graphic without written permission.

We can ask you to remove a link. If we do, remove it promptly.

Enquiries and forms

Forms and email on the Site exist so you can get in touch. Send accurate details and nothing abusive, illegal, or spammy. We may ignore or delete submissions that fail that bar.

How we handle personal data from forms is explained in our Privacy Policy, including cookies and tracking.

No reliance

Content on the Site (including blog posts, guides, pricing pages, and tool results) is general information about our studio and craft. It is not legal, financial, tax, accessibility-compliance, or other professional advice you should act on without your own checks.

We do not warrant that every article is complete, current, or free of mistakes.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where English law does not allow it, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Subject to that:

• The Site and its tools are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis
• We do not guarantee the Site is secure against every threat, free of bugs, or compatible with every browser forever
• We are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, data, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Site or its tools
• We are not liable for decisions you make based on Site content or tool output

You are responsible for how you use information and files you take from the Site.

If you breach these terms

If you misuse the Site, copy content or tools without permission, or otherwise breach these terms, we may suspend access, ask platforms to remove copied material, and pursue other remedies available in law. You agree to cover reasonable losses we suffer from that breach (including legal costs where appropriate), to the extent English law allows.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes about them, except where mandatory consumer law gives you other rights that cannot be waived.

Other points

If a court finds one part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still apply.

These website terms sit alongside our Privacy Policy. They do not replace any separate contract we may later sign with you for paid work.
