TERMS
OF USE.

AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. You must be legally able to enter into this agreement in the place where you live or conduct business.

INFORMATION, WORK AND INQUIRY

This website introduces Marque & Mortar, presents selected work and provides ways to inquire about potential services. Website content is general information only. It is not legal, financial, tax or other regulated professional advice.

OWNERSHIP OF THE SITE

Unless otherwise stated, the website and its original text, strategy, graphics, layouts, marks, artwork, photographs, code and other content are owned by or licensed to Marque & Mortar and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view the website for personal or internal business evaluation. You may not copy, reproduce, publish, distribute, modify, sell, license, create derivative works from or commercially exploit any part of it without prior written permission.

Client names, marks and work shown remain the property of their respective owners where applicable.

USE THE WEBSITE LAWFULLY

You agree not to:

• interfere with the website, its security or its operation;
• introduce malicious code or attempt unauthorized access;
• scrape, harvest or systematically extract website content;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation;
• use the website or its content to violate another party’s rights; or
• use the website for an unlawful, fraudulent or abusive purpose.

A CONVERSATION IS NOT YET AN ENGAGEMENT

Submitting an inquiry, sending an email or booking a conversation does not create a client relationship, guarantee availability or obligate either party to proceed. An engagement begins only when the parties sign a written agreement and satisfy any stated deposit or commencement conditions.

We treat inquiries with discretion. Until a separate written confidentiality agreement is in place, please do not send trade secrets, passwords or information requiring a heightened level of legal or technical protection.

THE SIGNED AGREEMENT CONTROLS THE WORK

Any proposal, scope of work, master services agreement or other written client contract will define the applicable services, schedule, fees, payment terms, revision limits, approvals, cancellation rights, deliverable ownership and other project terms.

Prices, timelines and availability shown on this website are illustrative starting points and may change. No service is reserved until the requirements in the applicable written agreement have been met.

LINKS AND PLATFORMS OUTSIDE THE HOUSE

The website may link to or rely on third-party services, including scheduling, hosting, analytics, social platforms or client websites. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. Marque & Mortar does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, security or conduct.

THE WEBSITE IS PROVIDED AS AVAILABLE

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not promise that every item will be complete, current, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors. We may change, suspend or withdraw website content at any time without notice.

Examples, case studies and past outcomes do not guarantee a particular commercial, editorial or financial result for another brand or engagement.

LIMITS RELATING TO WEBSITE USE

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Marque & Mortar and its founders, contractors and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising from or connected with your use of, or inability to use, this website or third-party links.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Project-related liability, if any, is governed by the applicable signed client agreement.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR MISUSE

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Marque & Mortar and its founders, contractors and representatives from claims, losses or expenses arising from your unlawful use of the website, violation of these terms or infringement of another party’s rights.

SOUTH CAROLINA

These website terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute concerning these website terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Charleston County, South Carolina, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

IF ONE PART CANNOT BE ENFORCED

If any provision of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

UPDATES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these terms as the website or our practices change. The revised version becomes effective when posted here with a new effective date. Continued use of the website after an update means you accept the revised terms.
