What these Terms do

They set out the basis on which the website may be used, clarify the status of website content and explain certain limitations, responsibilities and expectations connected with the site.

What these Terms do not do

They do not automatically grant permission to reuse content, license images, reproduce essays, copy brand assets, or rely on website material for professional, legal or commercial purposes without further permission where required.

Related documents

These Terms should be read together with the website’s Privacy Notice and Content Rights Policy, which address data handling, permissions, licensing, content ownership and related rights matters in more detail.

1. Acceptance and use of the website

By accessing or using this website, you agree to use it lawfully, responsibly and in a way that does not misrepresent Sol Solo, Carlos Simpson, CARLOS SIMPSON™ Design Studio, the website’s content or the rights associated with it.

You may use the website to

  • read, view and navigate publicly available website content;
  • learn about Sol Solo, its practice, content and public-facing materials;
  • make a genuine enquiry, request or contact through the stated contact route;
  • refer to the website in a lawful and non-misleading way.

You must not use the website to

  • misrepresent ownership, endorsement, authorship, affiliation or approval;
  • copy, scrape, republish, reproduce or exploit content in a way that infringes rights or breaches applicable law;
  • interfere with the operation, security or integrity of the website;
  • use the website or its content in a fraudulent, unlawful, defamatory or misleading manner;
  • use the website as a basis for automated extraction, dataset creation or AI training where permission is required and has not been granted.

2. Website content and public information

Sol Solo may publish brand-related content, essays, public-facing statements, visual references, creative materials, personal branding commentary, design or identity-related thinking, and other original or referenced materials for informational, editorial, portfolio, reflective or professional purposes.

Content may include

  • original written content, essays, articles, commentary and editorial text;

  • external links, embedded media, references to other Carlos Simpson projects or related practices.

Nature of website content

Website content is provided as a public informational and publishing resource. Unless expressly stated otherwise, nothing on the website should be read as creating a contractual commitment, a formal advisory relationship, a professional engagement, a licence grant or permission to reuse content.

3. Intellectual property and rights

Unless otherwise stated, content published on this website is protected by copyright, trademark law, design rights, database rights and other applicable intellectual property rights. Rights may belong to Carlos Simpson, SOL SOLO, CARLOS SIMPSON™ Design Studio or another clearly identified rights holder.

Important rights position

Access to website content does not transfer ownership, grant a licence or create permission to reproduce, adapt, distribute, commercially exploit, republish or systematically reuse the material unless such permission is expressly granted in writing or clearly stated on the website.

Read with the Content Rights Policy

If you want to quote, reproduce, republish, license, reference, teach from, adapt, embed, archive, dataset, scrape or otherwise reuse Sol Solo content, you should also read the website’s Content Rights Policy, which provides the more specific permissions and rights guidance for this site.

References to Carlos Simpson, CARLOS SIMPSON™, Sol Solo, CARLOS SIMPSON™ Design Studio or related named projects do not imply that associated names, marks, works, pages or assets are free for reuse. Rights remain reserved except where a different position is clearly stated.

5. No reliance, availability and limitation of liability

Sol Solo aims to keep the website accurate, coherent and professionally maintained, but the website is provided on an “as available” basis. No guarantee is given that the website will always be uninterrupted, error-free, current, complete or suitable for a particular purpose.

Topic Position Practical meaning
Accuracy of public content Reasonable care may be taken, but no universal guarantee is given. Users should not assume every page is permanently current, exhaustive or free from error.
Website availability The website may change, pause, be updated, move or be withdrawn without notice. Access is not guaranteed on a continuous basis.
Professional or commercial reliance Public website content should not be treated as a substitute for formal written advice, contractual documentation or tailored professional engagement. If you need certainty, you should make a direct enquiry and obtain confirmation in writing where appropriate.
Indirect loss To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sol Solo disclaims liability for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from use of the website. This includes, for example, reliance losses, data losses, interruption losses or reputational losses connected with website use.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law. If a legal rule prevents a particular exclusion from applying, that exclusion should be read subject to the law.

6. Enquiries, submissions and communications

If you contact Sol Solo through the website or by email, your message will be treated as a communication or enquiry. It will not by itself create a client relationship, partnership, publishing arrangement, rights licence, service contract or formal commitment unless and until that is expressly agreed in writing.

If you send an enquiry

  • please provide accurate contact information and sufficient context for the enquiry;
  • do not send unlawful, infringing, defamatory or confidential material unless it is genuinely appropriate and reasonably necessary;
  • do not assume that submission of an idea, proposal, request or message obliges Sol Solo to review, adopt, respond to or act upon it.

Rights requests and permissions

If your enquiry concerns reproduction, licensing, permissions, citation, image use, publication, workshop use, press use or republication of Sol Solo material, it should be treated as a rights or permissions enquiry and read alongside the website’s Content Rights Policy.

7. Privacy and personal data

Use of the website may involve the collection or handling of limited personal data, for example where you submit an enquiry, browse the website, or interact with site tools, analytics, technical services or security systems.

Privacy Notice applies

Information about how personal data may be collected, used, retained and protected in connection with Sol Solo is set out in the website’s Privacy Notice.

Read together

These Terms, the Privacy Notice and the Content Rights Policy are intended to operate together, each covering a different part of the legal and operational framework of the website.

9. Governing law

These Terms, and any non-contractual matters arising in connection with them or the use of the website, are intended to be governed by the laws of England and Wales unless a different mandatory legal position applies.

If you are contacting Sol Solo about these Terms

  • state that your enquiry concerns solsolo.com Terms;
  • identify the page, content, reference or issue you are asking about if relevant;
  • if the enquiry is about permissions or reuse, also refer to the Content Rights Policy;
  • if the enquiry concerns personal data, also refer to the Privacy Notice.

11. Frequently asked questions

Can I reuse Sol Solo content just because it is public on the website?

No. Public accessibility does not automatically mean free reuse. If you want to reproduce, republish, adapt, distribute, teach from, commercially use or systematically extract content, you should read the Content Rights Policy and seek permission where required.

Do these Terms create a contract for services if I send an enquiry?

No. Sending an enquiry, email, request or message does not by itself create a client relationship, service contract, advisory arrangement or publishing agreement. That would need to be expressly agreed separately in writing.

Do these Terms apply to other Carlos Simpson websites?

Not automatically. These Terms are drafted for solsolo.com. Other Carlos Simpson websites, practices, brands or projects may have their own terms, policies, rights notices or legal pages.

What if I need permission to quote, publish or use Sol Solo material?

That is primarily a rights and permissions matter rather than a general terms issue. You should use the contact route stated on the site and read the Content Rights Policy first.

Policy note

These Terms are intended to explain the public conditions governing access to and use of solsolo.com. They should be read together with the website’s Privacy Notice and Content Rights Policy.
