Terms of Use

Last updated: 2 September 2026

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of SELMES DESIGN (the “Website”).

The Website is operated by Finley John Selmes under the pre-launch studio / project name SELMES DESIGN, based in Spain.

By accessing the Website, you agree to use it in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.

1. Pre-Launch Status

SELMES DESIGN is currently a pre-launch independent creative studio and portfolio project.

The Website is intended to introduce the studio, present creative work and communicate its direction and capabilities.

The Website does not currently provide:

• online purchasing;

• online contracting;

• payment processing;

• client accounts;

• automatic bookings; or

• other facilities through which a visitor can directly purchase or contract services.

References to potential services, capabilities or areas of work are informational and do not constitute a binding offer.

2. No Client Relationship

Viewing the Website, contacting the studio or discussing a potential project does not automatically establish a client relationship.

If the studio begins accepting professional engagements, the scope, fees, payment conditions, deadlines, deliverables, intellectual-property rights and other project terms will be established separately between the relevant parties.

Those separately agreed terms will take precedence over these Website Terms in relation to the relevant project.

3. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the Website and its original content are owned by or lawfully used by the Website owner.

This includes, where applicable:

• branding;

• graphic design;

• visual identities;

• illustrations;

• photography;

• animations;

• motion design;

• layouts;

• typography;

• case studies;

• written content;

• audiovisual material; and

• the overall Website design.

All applicable intellectual-property rights are reserved.

Displaying creative work publicly on this Website does not place it in the public domain and does not grant visitors a licence to use it.

4. Permitted Use

You may browse the Website and view its content for personal, informational and legitimate reference purposes.

Unless permission has been granted or applicable law expressly permits it, you may not:

• reproduce Website content;

• republish it elsewhere;

• sell or commercially exploit it;

• modify and redistribute it;

• present the work as your own;

• remove copyright or attribution information;

• systematically scrape Website content for commercial purposes; or

• use Website materials in a way that infringes the rights of the Website owner or a third party.

5. Portfolio Projects

The Website may display commissioned work, conceptual work, personal projects, experimental work or collaborations.

Certain portfolio projects may incorporate intellectual property belonging to clients, collaborators or other third parties.

Third-party trademarks, photographs, copy, products and brand assets remain the property of their respective rights holders.

Their appearance on this Website does not imply that visitors have permission to use them.

Where appropriate, project presentations may be edited, condensed or adapted for portfolio purposes and should not necessarily be treated as a complete record of a project or collaboration.

6. Future Services

The Website may describe services or capabilities that the studio intends to offer once its commercial activity formally launches.

These descriptions are illustrative.

They do not constitute a guaranteed offer, fixed price, guaranteed availability or contractual commitment.

Formal commercial terms will be established separately when applicable.

7. Website Conduct

Visitors must not use the Website:

• for unlawful or fraudulent purposes;

• to interfere with its operation or security;

• to introduce malicious software or code;

• to attempt unauthorised access to infrastructure or systems;

• to infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; or

• in any manner intended to damage the Website or another person.

8. External Websites

The Website may link to social-media platforms, portfolio resources or other third-party websites.

These services are independently operated.

The Website owner is not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices or terms.

9. Website Information

The Website is currently evolving as part of the studio's pre-launch development.

Information, project descriptions, service descriptions, visuals and other content may therefore be changed or removed without notice.

Reasonable efforts are made to provide accurate information, but completeness, uninterrupted availability and error-free operation are not guaranteed.

10. Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Website owner is not responsible for indirect loss resulting solely from reliance on general informational material published on this Website or from interruptions caused by circumstances outside the owner's reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability where doing so would be prohibited under applicable Spanish or European Union law.

11. Privacy

Information concerning privacy and the technical operation of the Website is available in the Website's Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be changed as the Website and studio develop.

In particular, they may be replaced or expanded when [STUDIO NAME] formally begins commercial activity or introduces facilities for contracting services.

The latest version will be published on this page with its most recent update date.

13. Applicable Law

These Terms and use of the Website are governed by Spanish law.

Any dispute concerning the Website will be handled according to the jurisdiction rules established by applicable Spanish and European Union law.
