Terms of Use
Last updated: 20 August 2026
These Terms govern access to and use of the Saad Minhas Studio website. They do not govern a client project. Client work is governed exclusively by a separate signed agreement.
By accessing this website you agree to use it lawfully and in accordance with these Terms.
1. Who operates this website
This website is operated by the person identified in the Imprint, where full contact details are published.
2. What this website is
The website presents the studio’s work, services, articles, and contact information. It is intended for professional and business enquiries.
Nothing on this website is an offer capable of acceptance. Nothing here is a promise of availability, a price quotation, or a commitment to provide services. A client relationship arises only through a separate written agreement, or written confirmation expressly stating that an engagement has been accepted.
3. Acceptable use
You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes. You must not:
— interfere with its operation or security;
— attempt to access systems or data without authorisation;
— submit false, misleading, unlawful, or harmful information, or third-party confidential information you are not authorised to disclose;
— copy, reproduce, or misuse website content without permission;
— use automated means to extract website content for the training of AI models, except where a mandatory statutory exception applies and we have not reserved our rights;
— use the website in a way that damages the studio, its visitors, or third parties.
We may restrict access where we reasonably believe these Terms are being breached.
4. Enquiries
You may submit an enquiry through the enquiry form. Please do not submit special category personal data, credentials, source code, commercially sensitive material, personal data of colleagues who are not aware you are contacting us, or anything you are not authorised to disclose.
Submitting an enquiry does not mean a project is accepted. The studio reviews enquiries on fit, scope, timing, and capacity, and may decline or not respond.
How enquiry data is handled is explained in the Privacy Policy.
5. Services, proposals, and precedence
Services are not sold through this website.
Paid work is governed by a separate proposal, statement of work, or master services agreement, which defines scope, timeline, deliverables, fees, payment terms, change control, intellectual property, confidentiality, data protection, permitted use of AI-assisted tools, cancellation, and each party’s responsibilities.
Where these Terms conflict with an executed project agreement, the project agreement prevails for that engagement. These Terms are not incorporated into any project agreement unless that agreement says so expressly.
The studio may offer a paid review or diagnostic engagement. Any such engagement is supplied only after its scope, fee, timing, and terms have been agreed in writing. A review does not guarantee that a larger project will be offered or accepted, and does not guarantee any particular business, sales, conversion, funding, or revenue outcome.
6. AI-enabled services and your responsibilities
6.1 What we mean by AI-enabled
The studio is an AI-enabled practice. We use AI-assisted tools under human direction and review in strategy, concept development, design exploration, written content, and the production of structured brand and design documentation. Where an engagement includes it, we also encode brand and design decisions into structured tokens, rules and guidance intended for use with your own AI tools.
How we use AI-assisted tools in content published on this website is described in our Editorial Policy and AI Use.
6.2 What we supply, and what it is not
Structured tokens, rules, documentation and guidance are reference material. They are not an AI system, an AI model, or software, and supplying them does not place an AI system on the market or put one into service. We do not operate an AI system on this website.
If we ever supply an AI system under our own name, that will be governed by the relevant project agreement and the applicable obligations will be addressed in it expressly.
6.3 What we do not guarantee
We apply professional judgment and human review throughout our work. We do not guarantee:
— any particular output from an AI tool operated by you or by a third party;
— that a third-party AI provider will continue to behave consistently, remain available, or keep its terms, pricing or model behaviour unchanged;
— any specific commercial, sales, conversion, ranking, funding or revenue outcome from the use of our material;
— that output produced by a third-party model from our material will be free from similarity to material owned by others.
6.4 Your responsibilities when you use AI tools
Where you use our material with your own AI tools, you operate those tools under your own authority. You are responsible for how you configure them, what data you put into them, what they produce, and what you publish or deploy as a result.
That includes any obligation applying to you in your own right under the EU AI Act, data protection law, consumer and unfair competition law, and any sector rules that apply to your business. Nothing in these Terms transfers a regulatory obligation from one party to the other, and nothing in them is intended to do so. Each party remains responsible for its own compliance.
We are happy to advise on how our material is intended to be used. That advice does not make us responsible for your deployment.
7. Intellectual property
7.1 Website content
Unless otherwise identified, website content belongs to Saad Minhas Studio or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trade mark, design, database and other applicable rights where the requirements for protection are met. This includes text, articles, frameworks, layouts, graphics, visual material, and the selection and arrangement of the site.
We reserve all rights in website content for the purposes of text and data mining, including any reservation permitted under Art. 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and § 44b(3) UrhG.
7.2 Permitted use
You may view the website for personal or internal business evaluation. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, sell, or otherwise reuse website content without written permission.
7.3 Client assets
Client names, logos, screenshots, and project references remain the property of their respective owners. Nothing on this website grants any licence to a client asset.
7.4 Rights in deliverables
The rights position in any engagement is defined by the project agreement, which addresses what is assigned, what is licensed, what is exclusive to the client, and what remains the studio’s reusable know-how.
Nothing on this website grants any right in a deliverable, and nothing on this website is a warranty about the intellectual property status of any part of one.
7.5 Third-party model output
Where material is produced with the assistance of a third-party AI model, we take reasonable care, apply human review, and do not knowingly reproduce third-party material. We do not warrant that output generated by a third-party model is free from similarity to material owned by others. Any allocation of responsibility for that risk in an engagement is set out in the project agreement.
This paragraph limits a specific and identifiable technical risk. It does not exclude our liability for our own infringing conduct, and section 14.1 applies to it in full.
8. Work product and confidential information
This website grants no right to use the studio’s methods, frameworks, templates, systems, or work product. Any licence or assignment of rights in a client deliverable is governed exclusively by the relevant project agreement and, unless that agreement says otherwise, is conditional on full payment.
The studio applies human judgment and review throughout its work. Where AI-assisted tools are used in an engagement, their permitted use, data handling, review requirements, and any client restrictions are agreed in writing before client confidential information or personal data is processed through them. A website enquiry is not permission to disclose a prospective client’s information to an AI provider.
This website is not a secure channel for confidential information. A non-disclosure agreement or project agreement should be in place before either party shares material requiring protection.
9. Published content and editorial responsibility
Articles, essays and case studies published on this website are produced under human direction and review, and a named person holds editorial responsibility for them. Our process, including where AI-assisted tools are involved, is described in our Editorial Policy and AI Use.
Published content is provided for general information only. It is not legal, financial, investment, technical, or professional advice for any particular situation, and no professional relationship arises from reading it. Make your own assessment before relying on any of it.
10. Case studies and past work
Case studies show selected work, process, and project context. Past work does not guarantee comparable results for any future client. Outcomes depend on factors outside the studio’s control, including business model, market, team, implementation quality, timing, offer, product, and sales process.
11. Pricing
Any engagement ranges or indicative figures shown on this website are indicative only and are not binding offers. Final pricing depends on scope, complexity, timing, production requirements, and the level of strategic and execution support required.
Availability is not guaranteed. The studio may accept, decline, postpone, or refer projects at its discretion.
12. Third-party links
This website may link to third-party sites and platforms. We are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, privacy practices, or terms.
13. Availability
We aim to keep the website available and accurate but do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that all content is current. We may update, remove, or change content at any time without notice.
14. Liability
14.1 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for intent, gross negligence, death or personal injury, fraud, liability under mandatory product liability law, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
14.2 Subject to 14.1, the studio is liable for simple negligence only where it breaches a material contractual obligation, meaning an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible and on whose fulfilment you may routinely rely. In that case liability is limited to foreseeable damage typical for this type of relationship.
14.3 Subject to 14.1 and 14.2, liability is otherwise excluded. In particular the studio is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, lost savings, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption arising from use of or reliance on website content.
14.4 Subject to 14.1 and 14.2, the studio is not liable for loss arising from your use of AI tools operated under your authority, from output those tools produce, from the availability, behaviour, terms or pricing of a third-party AI provider, or from your decision to publish or deploy any material.
14.5 These provisions apply to use of this website only. Liability under a project agreement is governed by that agreement.
15. Privacy
Personal data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
16. Changes
We may update these Terms. The current version is published here with its date and applies to use of the website from that date.
17. Governing law and jurisdiction
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
Where you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from these Terms is Berlin, Germany. Mandatory consumer protection rules and mandatory rules of jurisdiction remain unaffected.
