Terms
Effective October 7, 2026
These terms govern your use of the Maneki Studio website at https://maneki.studio. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you have questions, contact hello@maneki.studio, which is the authoritative contact method for this site.
Website information
The website describes Maneki Studio's services, portfolio, process, and ways to get in touch. The content is provided for general informational purposes and may be changed or removed at any time.
No automatic client relationship
Submitting the contact form or emailing Maneki Studio does not create a client relationship, project engagement, confidentiality obligation, or duty to accept work. A project begins only when both sides agree to written project terms, scope, timeline, fees, and payment details.
Project inquiries
Please submit accurate contact information and avoid sending sensitive personal, financial, health, government-identification, or other highly confidential information through the website. Maneki Studio may decline, ignore, or delete messages that appear abusive, unlawful, spammy, or unrelated to potential design work.
Intellectual property
The website, including its text, design, artwork, photographs, graphics, code, and portfolio presentation, is owned by Maneki Studio or used with permission unless otherwise noted. You may view the website for personal or business evaluation purposes. You may not copy, scrape, reproduce, publish, modify, sell, or exploit website content without permission.
Portfolio and third-party marks
Portfolio work may include client names, brands, trademarks, or third-party materials. Those materials remain the property of their respective owners and are shown only to describe past work, concept work, collaborations, or design capabilities. Their appearance does not imply endorsement unless stated in writing.
Acceptable use
- Do not attempt to interfere with, overload, scan, or compromise the website or its hosting.

- Do not use automated systems to scrape or harvest website content or contact-form submissions.
- Do not impersonate another person or submit information you are not authorized to provide.
Privacy
Use of the website is also governed by the Privacy Policy. Maneki Studio does not sell personal information, does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and does not use personal information for advertisements. Contact information is used to respond to inquiries and manage potential or active projects.
Third-party services
The website may use third-party services for hosting, security, contact-form delivery, optional analytics, fonts, or embedded resources. Those providers may operate under their own terms and policies. Maneki Studio is not responsible for third-party websites or services that are not controlled by Maneki Studio.
No warranties
The website is provided "as is" and "as available." Maneki Studio does not promise that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from harmful components, or that all content will remain current, complete, or suitable for a particular purpose.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maneki Studio will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption arising from your use of the website.

These terms may be updated when the website, services, or legal requirements change. The effective date above will be revised when a material update is published. Continued use of the website after an update means you accept the updated terms.
