Terms of Use

Last Updated: January 13, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and PRINT (“PRINT,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and govern your access to and use of our websites, newsletters, content, awards and contests (including the PRINT Awards), events, job board, submissions and portfolios, e‑commerce activities related to our offerings, and other online services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1) Eligibility; Accounts

You must be at or above the age of majority in your place of residence to use the Services. You are responsible for your account, including maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and all activities under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and update it as needed. We may suspend or terminate your access for violations of these Terms or applicable law.

2) Ownership; License and permitted use

The Services, including all content, text, images, graphics, logos, audio, video, design, and arrangement, and the intellectual property rights therein, are owned by PRINT or our licensors and are protected by law. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal, non‑commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

3) User content; Submissions and licenses

The Services may enable you to submit or upload content, including text, images, audio, video, portfolios, resumes, job postings, entries, comments, and other materials (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant PRINT a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty‑free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, distribute, display, perform, publish, adapt, and otherwise use your User Content in connection with the Services and PRINT’s editorial, promotional, and archival activities. This license continues for as long as your User Content is available on the Services and, for archival and historical record purposes, thereafter. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that your User Content complies with law and does not infringe the rights of others. We may moderate, remove, or refuse User Content at any time in our discretion.

4) Awards, contests, and events

Awards, contests, and events, including the PRINT Awards, may be subject to additional official rules or program terms. In the event of a conflict, those rules govern for the applicable program. By submitting entries, you grant PRINT the rights necessary to administer judging, publish results, and use winners’ names, likeness, and entry materials for editorial coverage, announcements, and promotion as permitted by law and the applicable rules. Fees, if any, are stated at the point of purchase and are non‑refundable unless expressly stated otherwise.

5) Job board

Employers are solely responsible for the content of job postings and compliance with employment and labor laws. Applicants are responsible for the accuracy of their submissions. PRINT is not an employer of users through the job board and is not responsible for interactions between employers and applicants.

6) E‑commerce; Payments; Taxes

Certain Services may require payment of fees (e.g., entries, registrations, merchandise). Payments are processed by third‑party payment processors; your transactions are subject to their terms and privacy policies. You authorize us and our processors to charge your payment method for amounts due and agree to pay all applicable fees and taxes. Except as expressly stated, all fees are non‑refundable.

7) Third‑party content; Links; Affiliates

The Services may contain links to or integrations with third‑party websites, services, or content that we do not control. We are not responsible for third‑party content or practices; your use is at your own risk and subject to third‑party terms and policies. PRINT participates in affiliate programs and may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through links on the Services, which may involve cookies or tracking technologies.

8) Advertising, analytics, and disclosures

The Services may include advertising, sponsored content, and analytics. Partners may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to collect information about your interactions for measurement and, where applicable, targeted advertising, subject to your choices and applicable law. See our Privacy Policy for details and choices.

9) Prohibited conduct

You agree not to: use the Services for any unlawful purpose; infringe the rights of others; submit malicious code; attempt to gain unauthorized access; interfere with security or operation; scrape, crawl, or harvest data except as permitted by robots.txt or our written authorization; or use automated means to access the Services without consent.

10) DMCA and repeat infringer policy

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on the Services in a way that constitutes infringement, please send a notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512 to PRINT’s designated agent: Laura Des Enfants, Publisher, 3706 Stevenson Unit B, Austin, TX 78703, laura.desenfants@printmag.com, 917-991-1807. We will respond to valid notices and may remove or disable access to the material. If your content was removed and you believe it is not infringing, you may submit a counter‑notice under the DMCA. We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

11) Licensors and contributors

Content provided by licensors and contributors, including The Daily Heller and Design Matters, is provided under license. To the fullest extent permitted by law, licensors and contributors provide content “as is” and disclaim all warranties and liability to users. Users agree to indemnify PRINT and licensors for claims arising from misuse of the content or violations of these Terms.

12) Disclaimers

The Services and all content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, PRINT and our licensors disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non‑infringement, and uninterrupted or error‑free operation. Editorial content reflects the opinions of authors and does not constitute professional advice.

13) Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PRINT and our affiliates, licensors, and service providers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenues, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses, arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the Services. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us for the Services during the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) US$100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in such jurisdictions, these limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.

14) Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PRINT and our affiliates, licensors (including The Daily Heller and Design Matters), partners, service providers, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Services, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

15) Privacy

Your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes our data practices and your choices.

16) Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause or notice. Upon termination, your rights under these Terms immediately cease. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnities.

17) Governing law; Dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of law principles. Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief, disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by AAA under its rules. You and PRINT waive the right to a jury trial and agree that proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable, this arbitration section is void. You may opt out of arbitration within thirty (30) days of first agreeing to these Terms by sending written notice to PRINT Holdings, LLC 3706 Stevenson Unit B, Austin, TX 78703, privacy@printmag.com; if you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Texas and you consent to jurisdiction and venue there.

18) Changes to the Services and Terms

We may modify the Services and these Terms at any time. We will post updated Terms with a new “Last Updated” date. Your continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

19) Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and PRINT regarding the Services and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms without restriction. No waiver is effective unless in writing.
