Terms and Conditions

Informational website use

This website presents information about Cathy Helmholz Interior Design LLC, design services, projects and editorial content. Website information is general and does not create a client relationship, design agreement or professional engagement.

Design content and outcomes

Articles, examples and guided observations are educational and inspirational. Every room, building, budget and project condition is different. The website does not guarantee a particular design, purchasing, construction or project outcome.

Cathy’s Design Assistant

The guided assistant provides general observations based on Cathy’s published services, projects and design approach. It is not a live conversation with Cathy, does not mean Cathy has reviewed a visitor’s room or photograph, and does not provide a complete personalized design plan.

Future consultations and services

Any consultation, art sourcing or full-service engagement will require Cathy-approved scope, fees, timing, deliverables and separate service terms. No draft service concept or website description replaces a signed client agreement.

User-submitted questions and photos

If submissions are activated, visitors must have the right to share the materials they provide. Submitting a question or photo will not by itself grant permission for public use. Cathy may feature submitted material only when the visitor gives separate, explicit content permission.

Intellectual property

Website copy, design presentation, original photography, project descriptions and editorial materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Visitors may view the website for personal informational use but may not reproduce or commercially reuse protected material without permission from the applicable rights holder.

Third-party links

The website may link to social platforms, articles and service providers that Cathy does not control. Third-party sites operate under their own terms and privacy practices.

Text-message terms

If SMS is activated, inquiry-related and marketing messages will require separate optional consent. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent to marketing messages is not a condition of purchase or service.

Limitations

To the extent permitted by applicable law, general website content should not be treated as a substitute for project-specific professional review, measurements, specifications, contracts or advice from qualified project professionals.

Approval before production launch

Cathy must approve final terms after services, integrations, submission handling, SMS use cases and contact details are confirmed.
