7. Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising

Design Industry contains links to, and content from, third parties, including the A' Design Award & Competition, Designers.org, the Design Encyclopedia and other partner and affiliated websites.

You 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 Industry for lawful purposes, to access designindustry.org through ordinary browsing and search engine indexing rather than through robots, crawlers, scrapers or other automated means, to respect the security and availability of designindustry.org, its servers and its networks, to provide truthful information through the forms of Design Industry, and to keep every credit, copyright, trademark and other notice intact.

12. General Provisions

If any provision of Design Industry 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.
