Terms of Service
Last updated July 24, 2026
These terms cover using this website. They are deliberately short and plain. The specifics of any paid project live in a separate written proposal or agreement, and that document controls the actual work.
Using this site
This is the website of Studio O'Brien, a web design and development studio in Shelby, North Carolina. You're welcome to read it, share links to it, and get in touch. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
What's on here is information, not a promise of results
The articles, guides, calculator, and examples on this site are provided for general information. I work hard to keep them accurate and current, but I can't guarantee every detail applies to your exact situation, and nothing here is a contract, a guarantee of search rankings, or a substitute for advice specific to your business. Use your own judgment.
Portfolio and concept work
Some projects shown are labeled Concept. Those are original demonstration builds created by Studio O'Brien to show what's possible, not claims of paid client relationships. Real client projects are presented as such.
Our content and yours
- Our content. The design, code, writing, and images on this site belong to Studio O'Brien unless noted otherwise. Please don't copy or republish them without permission. Linking to the site is always fine.
- Your content. Anything you send me through the contact form stays yours. You're confirming you have the right to send it and that it's accurate.
- Finished projects. For paid work, full ownership of the site I build transfers to you at launch, exactly as described on the site and in your proposal.
Links to other sites
The site links to third-party tools and resources. I don't control those sites and I'm not responsible for their content or their practices. Following an external link is at your own discretion.
Estimates and the calculator
The website cost calculator and any ballpark figures are estimates to help you plan. They are not quotes. A real quote comes in writing after we talk about what your project actually needs.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided "as is." To the extent the law allows, Studio O'Brien is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site or reliance on its general information. This does not limit any rights you have under a signed project agreement.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina.
Changes
I may update these terms as the site grows. Changes are posted here with a new date at the top.
