Terms of Use
Effective August 15, 2026
These Website Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of www.georgepatrickdesign.com and any related webpages operated by George Patrick Design Inc., doing business as George Patrick ("George Patrick," "we," "us," or "our").
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
1. Purpose of This Website
This website presents information about George Patrick, our bespoke services, craftsmanship, collections, collaborations, and related work.
The website is provided for general informational and promotional purposes. It is not an e-commerce website, and nothing displayed on it constitutes a binding offer, quotation, contract, or guarantee of availability, pricing, completion date, delivery date, fabric, material, fit, or result.
Submitting an inquiry, requesting an appointment, or communicating with us through the website does not create a client relationship or obligate George Patrick to accept a commission.
2. Bespoke Commissions and Client Purchases
Every George Patrick commission is individually evaluated and accepted.
Bespoke services, made-to-measure garments, made-to-order products, alterations, accessories, footwear, and other purchases are governed by the applicable proposal, measurement record, order confirmation, invoice, deposit terms, or separate written agreement provided to the client.
If these Terms conflict with a written agreement, proposal, order confirmation, or invoice issued for a particular commission, the terms of that specific document will govern that commission.
Prices, estimated timelines, fabrics, materials, construction methods, and availability may change without notice. Any price or description appearing on this website is illustrative unless George Patrick confirms it in writing for a specific order.
A commission is not accepted and production will not begin until George Patrick confirms the order and any required deposit or payment has been received.
3. Appointments and Inquiries
You may use the website to request information or an appointment. Appointment requests are subject to availability and are not confirmed until you receive confirmation directly from George Patrick.
You agree that the information you provide through the website will be accurate and that you will not impersonate another person or provide misleading contact information.
Please do not submit confidential financial information, payment-card information, medical information, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive personal information through a general website inquiry form.
4. Intellectual Property
The website and its contents are owned by or licensed to George Patrick and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, trade-dress, and other intellectual-property laws.
Protected content includes, without limitation:
- The George Patrick name, logo, branding, and visual identity
- Original garment designs and design details
- Couture and bespoke concepts
- Sketches, illustrations, technical drawings, and renderings
- Photographs, videos, campaigns, and presentations
- Written copy, descriptions, and editorial content
- Website graphics, layouts, and visual compositions
You may view the website for your personal, noncommercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, download, publish, distribute, modify, display, transmit, sell, license, commercially exploit, or create derivative works from any website content without our prior written permission.
You may not use George Patrick content to reproduce garments, develop competing products, train or develop artificial-intelligence systems, create unauthorized digital or physical reproductions, or suggest an affiliation with or endorsement by George Patrick.
Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of or a license to use any George Patrick trademark, design, image, or other intellectual property except for the limited right to view the website.
5. Submitted Materials and Feedback
If you voluntarily send us comments, suggestions, references, inspiration images, or other materials, you represent that you have the right to provide them and that doing so does not violate another person's rights.
Materials supplied by an actual or prospective client for a private commission will be handled in connection with that inquiry or commission and will not become George Patrick's property merely because they were submitted.
If you provide general ideas, comments, or feedback about our website or services without an express confidentiality agreement, we may use that feedback without restriction or compensation to you.
Submitting unsolicited materials does not create a confidential, fiduciary, employment, partnership, or other special relationship.
6. Permitted Use
You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes.
You may not:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its servers, or related systems - Introduce viruses, malicious code, or other harmful material
- Interfere with the website's operation or security
- Scrape, harvest, index, or systematically extract website content or data
- Use automated tools to copy or monitor the website without our written permission
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation
- Use the website to violate another person's privacy or intellectual-property rights
- Use website content for fraudulent, misleading, defamatory, or unlawful purposes
We may restrict or terminate access to the website if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.
7. Third-Party Materials and Links
The website may refer or link to third-party websites, publications, social-media platforms, fabric mills, craftspeople, manufacturers, partners, or service providers.
These references are provided for information and convenience. George Patrick does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, security, availability, privacy practices, representations, or services.
A reference or link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement, partnership, agency relationship, or guarantee. Your use of third-party services is governed by the terms and policies of those third parties.
8. Accuracy and Availability
We make reasonable efforts to present the website accurately. However, website content may occasionally contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or differences in color and appearance caused by photography, lighting, display settings, or digital rendering.
Images, sketches, renderings, fabric representations, and descriptions are illustrative. They should not be treated as exact guarantees of color, texture, proportion, construction, fit, or finished appearance.
We may update, correct, modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the website at any time without notice. We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or free from errors or harmful components.
9. No Professional Advice
Website content does not constitute legal, financial, medical, or other regulated professional advice. You are responsible for obtaining appropriate professional advice when necessary.
General information concerning garment care, styling, fit, travel, materials, or suitability is not a substitute for advice based on the particular garment, fabric, client, or circumstances.

By submitting information through the website, you acknowledge that the information will be handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

We will send promotional emails or text messages only as permitted by applicable law. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications using the instructions included in the message. Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending communications necessary to respond to an inquiry or manage an existing commission.

16. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any dispute arising solely from the website or its use will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
Any legal action relating to these Terms or the website must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
