Terms of Use

Effective March 6, 2026 · Privacy Policy

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Architects List (the “Service”), including any websites, pages, features, and content provided by Architects List (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

01Definitions

“User” means anyone who visits or uses the Service. “Account” means a registered user account. “Firm” means an architecture firm, designer, studio, or professional profile on the Service.

“Content” means any text, images, photographs, graphics, audio, video, data, listings, and other materials made available through the Service. “User Content” means any Content you submit, upload, import, link, post, or otherwise make available through the Service.

02The Service

Architects List is a city-based directory and showcase of residential architecture projects and firms. The Service helps Users discover projects and firms and may provide tools to follow firms, save projects, organize collections, and contact or request information from firms.

Architects List is not a party to any agreement between Users and firms (or any other third party). We do not guarantee that any firm will respond to inquiries, accept a project, or that any project outcome will meet expectations.

03Platform-Curated Profiles and Content

3.1 — Curated firm profiles

Architects List may create and publish firm profiles, project pages, and related content using publicly available information (including text, images, and project details found on a firm's own website or other public sources). These profiles are created in good faith to showcase and promote the firm's work and to help Users discover residential architecture professionals.

3.2 — Claiming and managing a profile

Firms may claim their profile on Architects List at any time. Once claimed, the firm gains full control over its profile and may add, edit, or remove projects, images, descriptions, and other content associated with it. Instructions for claiming a profile are available on the Service or by contacting us at mail@architectslist.com.

3.3 — Removal requests

If a firm or rights holder wishes to have a profile, project, or any specific content removed from the Service, they may contact us at mail@architectslist.com. We will respond to removal requests promptly.

3.4 — No endorsement or affiliation

The presence of a firm profile on the Service does not imply that the firm has endorsed, sponsored, or is affiliated with Architects List, unless the firm has claimed and actively manages its profile.

Except through the Service's normal sharing features (e.g., sharing a link), you may not download, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publish, or commercially exploit any photos or other content without permission from the applicable rights holder.

9.4 — Your representations and warranties

If you submit, upload, import, link, or otherwise provide User Content (including photographs), you represent and warrant that:

By providing User Content, you grant Architects List a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, cache, display, publish, distribute, transmit, publicly perform, and create derivative works of that User Content solely as necessary to operate, improve, and promote the Service. This includes (without limitation) formatting, resizing, cropping, compressing, making thumbnails, and using User Content in marketing/promotional placements (e.g., featured projects, newsletters, social posts, and city/firm pages), with attribution where reasonably practical.

This license continues as long as your User Content remains on the Service and for a commercially reasonable period after removal for backup, archival, and legal compliance purposes.

9.6 — Credits and attribution

We may display photographer and other credits where provided or reasonably available. You are responsible for providing accurate credit information and any required attribution language. We may standardize formatting and placement of credits and cannot guarantee that any specific attribution will appear in every context (e.g., thumbnails, embeds, previews).

9.7 — No duty to pre-screen; removal rights

We do not verify that every item of User Content has complete rights clearance. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor, remove, disable access to, or edit any content at any time, including upon receiving complaints or if we suspect infringement or violations of these Terms.
