Legal
Terms of Service
Last updated: 1 August 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the FormForge Design website and, where expressly incorporated, the provision of design consultancy services by FormForge Design ("FormForge", "we", "us") to a client ("you"). By using this website or engaging our services, you accept these Terms.
1. Website use
The website is provided for information about our consultancy. You agree not to misuse it, including by attempting unauthorised access, scraping at a rate that degrades service, introducing malicious code, or reproducing substantial portions of its content without written permission.
2. No offer or advice
Descriptions of services, engagement models, and indicative timelines on this website are informational and do not constitute a binding offer. Nothing here is engineering, regulatory, or legal advice. Binding obligations arise only under a signed engagement agreement or accepted statement of work ("SOW").
3. Engagements and scope
Each engagement is defined by an SOW specifying deliverables, milestones, assumptions, review cycles, fees, and the named studio lead. Work outside the SOW — additional colorways, extra supplier visits, or revisions beyond the agreed review rounds — is performed only on a written change order at the rates stated in the SOW.
4. Client responsibilities
- Provide accurate technical inputs: CAD, tolerance requirements, volumes, and supplier constraints.
- Nominate a single decision-maker empowered to approve deliverables within agreed review windows.
- Provide timely access to suppliers, test facilities, and samples where required by the SOW.
- Confirm that inputs supplied to us do not infringe third-party rights.
Delays caused by outstanding client inputs may shift milestone dates and incur standby fees where stated in the SOW.
5. Fees, invoicing, and taxes
Fees are set in the SOW and invoiced on the agreed milestone or monthly schedule. Unless otherwise stated, invoices are payable within [Payment Term] days of issue. Overdue amounts accrue interest at [Late Interest Rate] per annum or the statutory rate in [Jurisdiction], whichever is higher. Fees exclude VAT, duties, and travel expenses, which are charged at cost with prior approval.
6. Intellectual property
Subject to full payment of all sums due, FormForge assigns to the client the intellectual property rights in the final deliverables created specifically for the engagement. FormForge retains ownership of its pre-existing methods, material libraries, templates, and know-how, and grants the client a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use those elements to the extent embedded in the deliverables. Concepts not selected remain the property of FormForge unless the SOW states otherwise.
7. Confidentiality
Each party will keep the other's confidential information secure and use it solely for the engagement. These obligations survive termination for [Confidentiality Survival Period] years, or indefinitely for trade secrets. Where a separate NDA exists, it prevails to the extent of any conflict.
8. Publicity
FormForge will not disclose a client relationship or publish project imagery without prior written approval, and no earlier than the client's public product launch.
9. Warranties and disclaimers
We warrant that services will be performed with reasonable skill and care by suitably qualified personnel. We do not warrant that any specification will achieve a particular manufacturing yield, regulatory approval, or commercial outcome, as these depend on suppliers, tooling, and factors outside our control. Except as expressly stated, all implied warranties are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
10. Limitation of liability
Neither party excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, FormForge's total aggregate liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid under the relevant SOW in the [Liability Lookback Period] months preceding the claim. Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, tooling costs, or recall expenses.
11. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement on [Notice Period] days' written notice, or immediately for material breach not remedied within [Cure Period] days. On termination the client pays for work performed and non-cancellable commitments up to the termination date, and each party returns or destroys the other's confidential materials on request.
12. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural events, industrial action, supply-chain disruption, or government measures, provided the affected party notifies the other promptly and mitigates the impact.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction]. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of [Jurisdiction], save that the parties will first attempt good faith resolution through [Dispute Resolution Process] for a period of 30 days.
