Services and project agreements
Submitting an inquiry, exchanging emails, or viewing the Website does not create a client relationship or obligate either party to proceed with a project.
Any services, scope of work, fees, schedule, deliverables, ownership rights, and other project obligations will be established in a separate written agreement. If that agreement conflicts with these Terms concerning the services, the agreement controls.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise identified, Website content—including branding, text, designs, graphics, photographs, renderings, and layouts—is owned by BRIO or used with permission and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may view the Website and share links for personal or internal informational purposes. Except as permitted by law or with the rights holder’s prior written permission, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, or use Website content commercially.
