Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: August 20th, 2026 Last Updated: August 23, 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at [Insert MerryMaker Website URL] (the “Site”), owned and operated by MerryMaker, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company doing business as MerryMaker Studio (“MerryMaker Studio,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, submitting information through any form on the Site, or otherwise engaging with our content, you (“you,” “your,” or “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.

 

  1. About MerryMaker Studio
 

MerryMaker Studio is a web design and development studio. We design and build custom websites for clients, primarily using the Elementor page builder platform and, in some cases, Squarespace. The Site is provided to showcase our work, describe our services, and allow prospective clients to contact us regarding potential projects.

Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer to enter into a services agreement. Any actual design or development engagement between MerryMaker Studio and a client will be governed by a separate written proposal, contract, or statement of work signed or otherwise agreed to by both parties (a “Client Agreement”). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a Client Agreement, the Client Agreement will control with respect to that engagement.

 

  1. Eligibility
 

By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The Site is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect information from, children under the age of 13.

 

  1. Use of the Site
 

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

(a) use the Site in any way that violates any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation;

(b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, damage, or disrupt any part of the Site, the server on which the Site is stored, or any server, computer, or database connected to the Site;

(c) introduce any viruses, trojan horses, worms, logic bombs, or other material that is malicious or technologically harmful;

(d) use any automated system, including “robots,” “spiders,” or “offline readers,” to access the Site in a manner that sends more request messages than a human can reasonably produce in the same period;

(e) submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through any contact or inquiry form on the Site; or

(f) copy, reproduce, republish, scrape, or otherwise exploit any content on the Site for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate your access to the Site, at our sole discretion, for any conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to MerryMaker Studio, other Site users, or third parties.

 

  1. Contact and Inquiry Forms
 

The Site includes one or more forms through which you may submit personal information (such as your name, email address, phone number, and details about your project) to request information, a quote, or a consultation. By submitting a form, you consent to MerryMaker Studio collecting and using that information as described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Submitting an inquiry through the Site does not create a client relationship, does not obligate MerryMaker Studio to provide any services, and does not obligate you to engage MerryMaker Studio. A client relationship begins only upon execution of a separate Client Agreement.

 

  1. Intellectual Property
 

Unless otherwise indicated, the Site and all content on it — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, design elements, page layouts, website templates, and the MerryMaker Studio name and logo — are the property of MerryMaker Studio or its licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Portfolio items, case studies, and website examples displayed on the Site may include work created for clients and may be subject to the intellectual property rights of those clients as well as MerryMaker Studio. Display of such work on the Site does not grant you any license or right to copy, reproduce, or use that work.

You may view and download content from the Site for your own personal, non-commercial reference only. You may not otherwise reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or exploit any content from the Site without our prior written permission.

 

  1. Third-Party Links and Services
 

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services (for example, social media pages, Elementor or Squarespace, or client websites) that are not owned or controlled by MerryMaker Studio. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. Your use of any third-party site is subject to that third party’s own terms and privacy policy, and you access such sites at your own risk.

 

  1. Analytics and Advertising Technologies
 

The Site uses third-party analytics and advertising tools, including Google Analytics and Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel, to help us understand how visitors use the Site and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. These tools may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visit. Additional detail about this collection, and your choices regarding it, is provided in our Privacy Policy.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MERRYMAKER STUDIO DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

MERRYMAKER STUDIO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, OR TIMELINESS OF ANY CONTENT ON THE SITE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MERRYMAKER, LLC, ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, EVEN IF MERRYMAKER STUDIO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MERRYMAKER STUDIO’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00). THIS LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY ARISING UNDER A SEPARATE, SIGNED CLIENT AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF THAT AGREEMENT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

 

  1. Indemnification
 

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MerryMaker, LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

  1. Changes to the Site and These Terms

The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Site after any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

 

  1. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
 

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Charleston County, South Carolina, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

 

  1. Severability
 

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

 

  1. Entire Agreement
 

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable Client Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and MerryMaker Studio regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior agreements between you and MerryMaker Studio relating to the Site.
