The short version. Use the site sensibly. Project work is governed by the proposal we agree with you. Digital products are licensed to you, not sold outright, and — because they're delivered instantly — they aren't refundable, though we'll always make a genuine problem right.

1 · About these terms

These terms apply to your use of theforesightlab.com and to services and digital products supplied by The Foresight Lab, operated by Carlo Pontanilla ("we", "us"). By using the site or engaging us, you agree to them. If you don't, please don't use the site.

Where we agree a separate written proposal, quotation or service agreement with you, that document takes precedence over these terms for the work it covers.

2 · Using this website

  • You may view, download and print pages for your own reference and business use.
  • You may not copy, republish or resell our content, imagery or templates as your own, scrape the site systematically, or attempt to disrupt it.
  • The site is provided "as is". We work hard to keep it accurate and available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that every detail is free of error.

3 · Design services

Scope. Each engagement is defined by the proposal we send: deliverables, quantities, formats, revision rounds, timeline and fee. Anything outside that scope is a change, quoted and agreed before we proceed.

Your responsibilities. To deliver on time we need accurate inputs — plans, measurements, selections and timely feedback from a named decision-maker. Delays in materials or approvals move deadlines accordingly.

Revisions. The included rounds are stated in the proposal. A "round" means one consolidated set of written comments. Reopening previously approved decisions is treated as new scope.

Payment. Unless the proposal says otherwise, a deposit is payable before work begins, and the balance on delivery. Final files, including editable source files, are released on receipt of full payment. Overdue invoices may accrue interest as permitted by applicable law.

Cancellation. Either party may end an engagement with written notice. Work completed to that point is invoiced in full; deposits cover work already performed and reserved capacity.

4 · Intellectual property in project work

  • Your material stays yours. Plans, brand assets and information you supply remain your property (or your client's).
  • On full payment, you receive the rights to the final deliverables set out in the proposal, for the agreed purposes.
  • We retain ownership of our working files, models, tools, templates and processes, and the right to display completed work in our portfolio and marketing — excluding anything you have asked us in writing to keep confidential.

5 · Digital products

Licence. When you buy a template, kit or guide, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it within your own studio and on your own client projects, including work you deliver to your clients.

You may not resell, redistribute, share or publish the files, sell them as your own product, or include them in a competing template or course.

Delivery and refunds. Products are delivered digitally and immediately. Because of this, all sales are final and we do not offer refunds — and by purchasing you agree to immediate delivery, waiving any statutory cancellation right for digital content where the law allows this. That said, if a file is faulty, corrupted or materially not as described, tell us and we will fix it or refund you. We'd rather have a happy designer than a kept payment.

Not professional advice. Our templates, checklists and guides are practical tools built from studio experience. Documents touching on contracts, codes, accessibility or taxation are starting points, not legal, financial or code-compliance advice — have them reviewed by a qualified professional in your jurisdiction before you rely on them.

6 · Confidentiality

Project information you share is treated as confidential and used only to deliver your work. Much of what we do is white-labelled, and we're glad to sign an NDA. Equally, we ask that you keep our proposals, pricing and working files confidential.

7 · Liability

We take responsibility for our work, and we insist on accuracy. But to be clear and fair about limits: to the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from any engagement or purchase is limited to the amount you paid us for it. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses — for example lost profits, lost opportunities, or construction costs arising from decisions made on the basis of deliverables you have approved.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

Renderings are representations. They are produced from the information supplied and are illustrative — they are not construction documents, surveys, or a guarantee of exact built appearance, and materials and lighting vary in reality.

8 · Third-party links

Where we link to other sites or tools, we do so because we find them useful. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content or practices.

9 · Changes

We may update these terms as the studio evolves. The version published here at the time of your purchase or engagement is the one that applies to it.

10 · Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, and the courts of the Philippines have jurisdiction — except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings locally, which we do not seek to remove.
