Legal
Terms & Conditions
Last updated: November 3, 2026. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of studio-valentina.com, the free resources published on it and the Client Portal. Please read them before using the Site.
1. Who we are and what these terms cover
studio-valentina.com (the "Site") is operated by Valentina Arboleda, doing business as Studio Valentina, in the State of Georgia, United States ("Studio Valentina," "we," "us," "our"). These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Studio Valentina and govern your access to and use of the Site, the free resources offered on it, the Client Portal and any communication you start through the Site, including WhatsApp and email.
By using the Site you confirm that you have read and accept these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated here by reference. If you do not accept them, please do not use the Site.
2. Eligibility
The Site is intended for people aged 18 or over, or for minors acting with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. The Site is not directed to children under 13. By using the Site you confirm that you meet this requirement and that any information you provide is accurate and your own, or that you are authorized to provide it.
3. The Site is information, not an offer
Everything published on the Site, project pages, renders, drawings, articles, guides, templates, prices or ranges, timelines and descriptions of services, is published for general information and to show previous work. It is not an offer capable of acceptance, a quotation, a bid, a contract, or advice for your particular project, lot, budget or jurisdiction.
Studio Valentina provides services only under a separate written agreement signed by both parties, which defines the scope, deliverables, fees, schedule, responsibilities and limits of that engagement. Nothing on the Site modifies a signed agreement, and in case of any conflict the signed agreement prevails.
4. Professional status and licensure
Valentina Arboleda is an architect licensed in Colombia, a Construction Project Management specialist and a candidate on the NCARB International Architect Path toward licensure in the United States. She is not a licensed architect in any U.S. state.
In the United States, Studio Valentina offers architectural design, interior design, space planning, BIM coordination, visualization and project support services that do not require a state architectural license. Where a project requires drawings or documents sealed by a licensed professional, those documents are prepared, reviewed and sealed by a licensed architect or engineer of record retained for that project, and Studio Valentina works in support of that professional.
Nothing on the Site should be read as a representation that Studio Valentina practices architecture, or uses the title "architect," in any jurisdiction where it is not authorized to do so.
5. No professional, legal, financial or code advice
Articles, guides, checklists, budget tools, prompts and similar materials on the Site are educational. They are general in nature, they are not tailored to your circumstances, and building codes, zoning rules, permit requirements, costs and availability vary by state, county and city and change over time.
They do not constitute architectural, engineering, construction, legal, tax, insurance or financial advice, and you should not rely on them as a substitute for the opinion of a qualified professional or of the authority having jurisdiction. Any figure, cost range, duration or code reference is an illustration, not a commitment, and must be verified before you act on it.
6. Intellectual property
All content on the Site, including designs, floor plans, elevations, 3D models, renders, photographs, video, text, articles, templates, graphics, the Studio Valentina name and logo, and the Nala illustrations, is owned by Valentina Arboleda or used with permission, and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other countries.
You are granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to view the Site and to use the free resources as described in section 7. You may not, without our prior written consent:
- copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, license or exploit any content commercially;
- use any design, render or drawing as the basis for construction, for a competing portfolio, or in a proposal to a third party;
- use our content to train, fine-tune or evaluate machine-learning models, or scrape the Site by automated means;
- remove, obscure or alter any credit, watermark or copyright notice;
- use the Studio Valentina name, logo or mascot in a way that suggests endorsement or association.
Names, logos and trademarks of third parties shown on the Site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only. If you believe content on the Site infringes your rights, write to officestudiovalentina@gmail.com identifying the material and your claim, and we will review it promptly.
7. Free resources and templates
Studio Valentina offers downloadable resources such as guides, checklists, spreadsheets, moodboard templates and illustrations ("Resources"), normally in exchange for your name and email address.
Subject to these Terms, you receive a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use the Resources for your own personal or internal business purposes, including on your own projects and with your own clients. You may adapt a template to your project and share the resulting work with your client.
You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, publish or share the Resource files themselves, in whole or in part; offer them for download; include them in a product, bundle, course or template library; present them as your own work; or remove the Studio Valentina identity from them. The Resources are provided "as is," without warranty, and are not a substitute for professional advice.
8. What you send us
When you contact us through the Site, WhatsApp, email or the Client Portal, you are responsible for the accuracy and legality of what you send, and you confirm you have the right to share it. Please do not send confidential, sensitive or proprietary material before a written agreement or confidentiality agreement is in place; information sent before then is not treated as confidential, although it is handled according to our Privacy Policy.
If you send suggestions, ideas or feedback about the Site or our services, you grant us a free, perpetual and irrevocable right to use them without obligation or compensation.
9. Client Portal
The Client Portal is reserved for clients who have been invited by Studio Valentina. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential, for everything done through your account, and for telling us immediately at officestudiovalentina@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
Information shown in the Portal, phases, status, next steps, updates and documents, is a convenience summary maintained manually. It may be incomplete or out of date, and it does not replace your signed agreement, the official project documents, the permit set or any communication from your contractor or the authority having jurisdiction. Where the Portal and your written agreement differ, the agreement controls.
We may suspend, change or close Portal access, including on completion of a project, or if an account is misused.
10. Communications
When you write to us by email, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, you agree that we may reply through the same channel. If you check the box to receive occasional design tips and new resources, you may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any such message or by writing to officestudiovalentina@gmail.com. Messages related to a project, a quotation or a download you requested are transactional and are sent regardless of marketing preferences. Standard message and data rates from your carrier or messaging provider may apply.
11. Third-party sites and services
The Site links to and relies on third-party services, including LinkedIn, WhatsApp (Meta), Google (Fonts, Analytics and Firebase) and GitHub Pages. We do not control those services, we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
12. Availability and changes to the Site
We aim to keep the Site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may change, suspend, restrict or discontinue the Site, any Resource or the Client Portal at any time, with or without notice, and we may correct content at any time without obligation to preserve earlier versions.
13. Disclaimers
The Site, its content, the Resources and the Client Portal are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be secure, uninterrupted, free of errors or free of harmful components, or that any content, figure, timeline or code reference is current, complete or applicable to your project.
Images shown on the Site, including renders and visualizations, are illustrative. They may show finishes, furniture, landscaping, lighting or surroundings that are not part of a built result, and they do not represent a guarantee of outcome.
14. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Studio Valentina and Valentina Arboleda will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, business, goodwill or anticipated savings, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Site, the Resources or the Client Portal, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Site, the Resources or the Client Portal will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100), or the amount you paid us for access to the item giving rise to the claim, whichever is greater. This limitation does not apply to liability arising from a signed services agreement, which is governed by that agreement, nor to any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Studio Valentina and Valentina Arboleda from any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your misuse of the Site or the Resources, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
16. Suspension and termination
We may restrict or end your access to the Site, a Resource or the Client Portal at any time if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or that your use harms the Site, our clients or a third party. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law, will survive.
17. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at officestudiovalentina@gmail.com and to try in good faith to resolve the matter informally for at least thirty (30) days.
If the matter is not resolved, you and Studio Valentina agree that the state and federal courts located in the State of Georgia will have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to venue there. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for complying with your local law.
18. General
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force and the unenforceable provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization or transfer of the business. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and any signed agreement, are the entire agreement between us regarding the Site. The English version of these Terms prevails over any translation.
19. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. The "last updated" date above shows the current version, and your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms. For material changes we will make the update visible on this page.
