Featured works. The heavy machinery, hardware and machinery designs, products, projects, photographs, renderings, descriptions, names, logos and trademarks featured on Design OFA belong to the original creators, designers, brands and license holders of each work, who keep all rights to their intellectual properties. Each work is shown on Design OFA for editorial or entertainment purposes, and the presentation of a work on Design OFA leaves every right with the respective owners.
Original materials of Design OFA. Except for third-party works, the original texts, the selection and arrangement of content and the layout of Design OFA are protected by copyright and are © 2008 – 2026 Design OFA. You are welcome to read Design OFA and to share links to pages of designofa.com for personal, non-commercial purposes. Please obtain prior written permission from the publisher of Design OFA, and from the relevant rights holders for featured works, before copying, reproducing, scraping, harvesting, mirroring, framing, republishing, selling or otherwise exploiting content of designofa.com, except where the law expressly allows.
Notice to rights holders. If you are a creator or rights holder and believe that a feature on Design OFA infringes an intellectual property right, or gives incorrect credit, you can send a written notice through the Design OFA Contact page, indicating the address of the page, identifying the work and your rights in the work, and providing a way to reach you. Design OFA reviews every notice promptly and carefully and, where appropriate, corrects or removes the content.
7. Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising
Design OFA contains links to, and content from, third parties, including the A' Design Award & Competition, Designers.org, the Design Encyclopedia and other partner websites. Third-party websites are operated independently of Design OFA, so their content, availability, terms and privacy practices remain the responsibility of the respective third party. You access third-party websites at your own risk and subject to the terms of the respective third party.
Advertising shown on Design OFA is delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the privacy-first advertising solution provider of Design OFA. Advertisements are supplied by third parties, and each advertised product, service or advertiser remains the responsibility of the respective advertiser. Any dealings between you and an advertiser are solely and exclusively between you and that advertiser.
8. Forms and Forwarding to Third-Party Services
Some features of Design OFA, such as the Design OFA Submit Design page, the Design OFA Newsletter page and the Design OFA Encyclopedia page, work in two steps. You provide a few details on designofa.com and may then be forwarded to a partner service that carries out the actual service. The partner service, and not Design OFA, is responsible for processing your information and for everything that happens after the forwarding, under the terms and the privacy policy of that service. You also agree to provide accurate information and to enter only information that belongs to you or that you are authorized to share.
9. Acceptable Use
You agree to use Design OFA for lawful purposes, to access designofa.com through ordinary browsing and search engine indexing rather than through robots, crawlers, scrapers, bots or other automated means, to respect the security and availability of designofa.com, its servers and its networks, to provide truthful information through the forms of Design OFA, and to keep every credit, copyright, trademark and other notice intact.
10. Availability and Changes
The publisher of Design OFA may change, suspend or discontinue Design OFA, or any content or feature of Design OFA, at any time and without notice or liability. Design OFA Terms and Conditions may also be updated from time to time, and the date shown at the bottom of this page indicates the latest revision. Your continued use of Design OFA after a revision means that you accept the revised Design OFA Terms and Conditions.
11. Governing Law
Design OFA Terms and Conditions, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with Design OFA, are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction of the publisher of Design OFA identified in the Design OFA Impressum, without regard to conflict of law rules and principles, and the competent courts of that jurisdiction have jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise.
12. General Provisions
If any provision of Design OFA Terms and Conditions is found invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. A delay in enforcing any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. Design OFA Terms and Conditions, together with the Design OFA Privacy Policy and the Design OFA Cookies Policy, form the entire agreement regarding the use of Design OFA.
