Terms of Use & Submissions

Last updated: 20 August 2026

These Terms govern access to Design Pressroom and the submission of press releases, images and other material. The service is operated by Bits of Brand, obrt za marketing i komunikacije, Pleš 70e, 42253 Bednja, Croatia.

1. The service

Design Pressroom is a public platform for press releases and media material from design-led brands, studios, organisations, events and creative businesses. Submissions are currently free. Publication does not constitute editorial endorsement and does not guarantee media coverage, search visibility, enquiries or any other result.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate information, protect your login details and be authorised to act for the brand or organisation represented. You are responsible for activity under your account and should notify us promptly of suspected unauthorised use.

3. Submission requirements

Submitted material must be accurate, lawful, relevant and suitable for a professional press room. You must have all necessary rights, permissions, releases and licences for the copy, photographs, artwork, logos, trademarks, quotations, personal data and other material you submit.

You must not submit content that is false, misleading, defamatory, discriminatory, unlawful, confidential without permission, infringing, malicious, deceptive, sexually exploitative, privacy-invasive, technically harmful or unrelated promotional spam.

4. Licence to Design Pressroom

You retain ownership of your material. By submitting it, you grant Design Pressroom a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, format, resize, display, index, distribute and promote the material for operating and publicising the platform and the submitted release. This licence lasts while the material is published and for reasonable backup, archival and legal purposes afterwards.

5. Editorial control

We may review, edit formatting, correct obvious errors, categorise, request changes, reject, unpublish or remove submissions. We are not obliged to publish every submission or provide individual editorial feedback. Material may be removed where it breaches these Terms, presents legal or security risks, is no longer relevant or where a valid legal request is received.

6. Your responsibility

You remain responsible for the claims and rights contained in your submission. You agree to cooperate with reasonable enquiries about accuracy, ownership or authority. Journalists and other users should independently verify information before relying on it.

7. Third-party use and links

Published material is publicly accessible and may be viewed, quoted, linked to or downloaded by third parties. We cannot control third-party use or guarantee that another party will respect usage restrictions. External links are provided for convenience and we are not responsible for third-party websites.

8. Availability and changes

The free service is provided on an “as available” basis. Features may be changed, suspended or discontinued. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, permanent storage or compatibility with every device.

9. Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Design Pressroom is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost opportunities, lost profits, third-party copying, search-engine indexing, user submissions or reliance on published claims. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Suspension and termination

We may restrict or terminate accounts for breaches, abuse, security concerns or legal reasons. Users may request account closure by emailing us, subject to necessary record retention.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by Croatian law, without prejudice to mandatory rights that may apply. Disputes should first be raised with us at mirna@bitsofbrand.com.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms as the platform develops. Material changes will be indicated by the updated date. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
