By accessing this website or engaging the services of Hautedesigns (“Studio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you may not use our website or services.
2. Services
Hautedesigns provides premium graphic design, branding, visual identity, and creative direction services. The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for each project are defined in separate engagement agreements or statements of work (SOW) executed with each client.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of our services at any time with reasonable notice.
3. Intellectual Property
All creative work, designs, concepts, and deliverables produced by Hautedesigns remain the intellectual property of the Studio until full payment has been received, at which point ownership transfers to the client as outlined in the project agreement.
All website content, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, and imagery featured on hautedesigns.com, is the exclusive property of Hautedesigns and is protected by copyright law. Reproduction, distribution, or use without prior written permission is strictly prohibited.
Portfolio work displayed on our website is shown with client permission and may not be reproduced or used by third parties without express written consent.

6. Revisions & Approvals
Each project includes a defined number of revision rounds as specified in the project agreement. Additional revisions beyond the agreed scope may be subject to additional fees at our standard hourly rate. Client approval at each milestone constitutes acceptance of that phase of work.
