Clear scope makes better creative work.
These terms set the ground for logo design Kalamazoo, compact brand identity design, Kalamazoo website design, and brand copywriting for a defined local-business brief.
Effective 2026-09-29These terms start with a dated record.
The current terms take effect on 2026-09-29 and govern use of this site and agreed studio work.
They apply to pages operated by Kzoo, trading at kzoo.us, and to an engagement accepted after an inquiry. If a written project agreement conflicts with a general statement here, the specific agreed scope controls that project.
You are dealing with Kzoo, not a marketplace.
These terms are with Kzoo, trading at kzoo.us, at 1200 ACADEMY STREET, KALAMAZOO, MI 49006, KALAMAZOO, MI, United States.
KZOO Studio is the working brand for a two-person practice serving local businesses in Kalamazoo. Questions about these terms go to [email protected] or (269) 337-7248.
A focused service is not an open-ended agency retainer.
The site presents logos, identity systems, visit-card websites, and brand copy for local businesses.
Logo and identity work covers an agreed mark direction, refinement, and production exports. A compact identity system adds agreed type, colour, spacing, and basic applications. Website work covers a defined responsive page set and supplied or commissioned copy. Copy work covers an agreed voice direction and pages or touchpoints.
The site does not provide a marketplace, print fulfilment, software product, agency directory, or generic web-development service. It does not promise a result in sales, search position, or reputation.
An inquiry is a starting point, not a sale.
Nothing is sold or paid for on this site, and no payment or card data is taken here.
A figure discussed during an inquiry is an estimate, not a binding quote. An inquiry becomes an order only when the scope, deliverables, revision boundary, timing, and any applicable written commercial terms are agreed by both sides. The studio can decline a brief that is not defined enough to work on.
There is no cart, checkout, account, password, or automatic purchase route. That is deliberate.
A review point is a decision point.
The agreed review points decide what moves into production and what stays outside the brief.
The studio sends a defined proof for review. The client returns one consolidated decision record at the agreed review point, identifying changes to keep and changes to reject. Silence does not approve new scope. Requests for extra directions, pages, applications, or revisions are discussed before they are made.
The brief determines the figure.
Fees are discussed in USD and depend on the agreed work rather than a displayed menu price.
Logo and mark work is priced by agreed mark scope and revision count. Identity work changes with the number of agreed components. A visit-card website depends on page count, content condition, and implementation scope. Brand copy depends on word count, page count, and editing depth. A focused identity and site package depends on confirmed component scope.
Added pages, extra directions, new applications, delayed supplied material, and work outside the decision record can change the estimate. No binding quote is published on this site.
Use the site for a real brief, not to damage it.
Visitors may read the site and contact the studio, but may not misuse its forms or interfere with its operation.
You may not submit another person's information without permission, send malicious code, probe restricted systems, scrape the site at a harmful rate, impersonate KZOO Studio, or use its content to deceive. Do not upload material that infringes another person's rights or is unlawful.
The studio may reject abusive messages and preserve technical records needed to protect the service.
Handoff means usable files, not vague ownership language.
The studio delivers the agreed exports and working materials described in the scope.
Until an agreed transfer or licence applies, Kzoo owns the site's text, photographs, marks, layouts, and presentation. A client keeps ownership of material they supply. Third-party typefaces, stock licences, hosting, and other external rights remain subject to their own terms.
After the agreed work is paid for under the project terms, the client receives the rights stated in that scope. Unused concepts, internal notes, and studio methods are not part of a handoff unless expressly listed. The handoff folder contains files a printer and browser can actually use.
Creative work is supplied as agreed, not as a guarantee.
The site and its content are provided as is, to the extent the law allows.
Kzoo does not warrant uninterrupted availability, error-free code, a particular commercial result, search ranking, customer response, or compatibility with every future browser, printer, device, or third-party platform. A client is responsible for checking factual claims, legal notices, licences, and supplied content before publication.
The studio will not call a draft finished when the agreed proof has not been reviewed. That is a process boundary, not a performance promise.
Responsibility stays tied to the agreed work.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, liability is limited to the amount paid for the specific affected engagement.
Kzoo is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-profit damages arising from use of this site or an engagement. This limit does not remove liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud or deliberate misconduct where applicable.
Nothing here changes a client obligation to supply accurate material or review a proof.
Access can stop when the service is being misused.
The studio may refuse or withdraw access to the site when a visitor abuses forms, threatens the service, or breaches these terms.
Stopping access does not erase rights or duties that should survive, including intellectual-property restrictions, payment obligations under an agreed project, confidentiality where agreed, and the limits in these terms. Either side may end an unstarted inquiry by saying so.
Michigan law supplies the frame.
These terms run under the law of MI, United States.
Disputes connected with these terms or the site are heard in the courts of KALAMAZOO, subject to any mandatory rule that says otherwise. The operator's postal address is 1200 ACADEMY STREET, KALAMAZOO, MI 49006, KALAMAZOO, MI, United States.
A changed term gets a new date.
When these terms change, the updated effective date appears at the top of this page.
Material changes are announced through this page or a direct message where the studio has a suitable inquiry address. Continuing to use the site after the effective date means the updated site terms apply to future use. A specific accepted project remains governed by its agreed scope.
