Legal Notice & Disclaimer

Last Updated: September 11, 2026

This Legal Notice & Disclaimer applies to your use of the MODCER Studio website, our content, and information relating to our custom products and services.

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge and agree to the terms described below, together with our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, Returns & Refund Policy, and other applicable policies.

1. General Information

The information provided on this website is intended for general informational, commercial, and customer service purposes.

We make reasonable efforts to keep product descriptions, photographs, pricing, production information, shipping information, and other website content accurate and up to date.

However, because our products are handmade and our services may change over time, certain information may occasionally be updated, revised, or corrected without prior notice.

Where applicable, the information shown on the relevant product page and at checkout at the time an order is placed will apply to that purchase.

2. Handmade and Custom Products

MODCER Studio creates individually handcrafted and personalized ceramic sculptures based on photographs and information supplied by customers.

Each sculpture is a handmade artistic interpretation of the reference materials provided.

Because the product is created by hand, variations may naturally occur in:

  • Shape

  • Proportion

  • Surface texture

  • Color

  • Brushwork

  • Glaze

  • Symmetry

  • Facial expression

  • Sculptural details

  • Firing results

  • Final dimensions

These variations are inherent characteristics of handmade ceramic artwork and do not necessarily indicate a defect.

3. Artistic Interpretation

Our artists use customer-submitted photographs as visual references when creating custom sculptures.

While we aim to capture the recognizable characteristics of each pet as closely as reasonably possible, a handmade ceramic sculpture should not be expected to reproduce a pet with photographic, digital, or machine-manufactured precision.

Certain features may need to be simplified, interpreted, strengthened, or adjusted because of the physical properties of ceramic materials, structural stability, firing requirements, artistic judgment, or shipping safety.

This may include features such as:

  • Individual strands of fur

  • Whiskers

  • Very thin ears or limbs

  • Extremely fine facial details

  • Small protruding features

  • Subtle color transitions

  • Highly detailed textures

The final sculpture should therefore be understood as a handcrafted artistic representation rather than an exact three-dimensional reproduction.

4. Product Images and Website Photography

Photographs, videos, renderings, previews, and other product images displayed on this website are intended to illustrate our craftsmanship, style, materials, and typical finished results.

Because each order is customized, the sculpture you receive will be unique.

Colors may also appear differently depending on:

  • Screen settings

  • Lighting conditions

  • Photography

  • Camera processing

  • Browser or device

  • Ceramic firing

  • Surface finishing

Product images should therefore be considered representative rather than a guarantee that every custom order will appear identical to an example shown on the website.

5. Customer-Submitted Photos and Information

Customers are responsible for ensuring that they have the legal right to submit any photographs, images, text, names, or other materials provided to MODCER Studio.

By submitting reference materials for the purpose of creating a custom product, you represent that you own the materials or otherwise have sufficient permission to use and provide them for that purpose.

You grant MODCER Studio a limited right to use the submitted materials as reasonably necessary to:

  • Review your order

  • Create your custom sculpture

  • Communicate with you regarding your order

  • Make requested adjustments

  • Complete production

  • Provide customer support

Submitting photographs does not transfer ownership of those photographs to MODCER Studio.

Any broader use of customer photographs for advertising, promotional, portfolio, social media, or marketing purposes will be handled in accordance with applicable permissions, policies, and law.

6. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website, including but not limited to:

  • Brand elements

  • Logos

  • Product photography

  • Original artwork

  • Product designs

  • Sculptures

  • Videos

  • Graphics

  • Text

  • Website layouts

  • Promotional materials

is owned by or licensed to MODCER Studio and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Website content may not be copied, reproduced, republished, distributed, modified, sold, or used for commercial purposes without appropriate authorization, except where such use is permitted by law.

7. Third-Party Intellectual Property

All third-party trademarks, brand names, product names, logos, and other intellectual property appearing on this website remain the property of their respective owners.

Any reference to a third-party company, service, platform, carrier, or product does not necessarily imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or affiliation unless expressly stated.

8. Customer Responsibility

Customers are responsible for reviewing all information submitted when placing an order, including:

  • Reference photographs

  • Customization instructions

  • Shipping address

  • Contact information

  • Product selection

  • Size selection

  • Any special requests

The quality and accuracy of a custom sculpture depend in part on the clarity and completeness of the materials provided by the customer.

MODCER Studio may not be able to reproduce characteristics that are not visible or reasonably identifiable from the submitted reference materials.

9. Preview and Approval

Certain products may include a preview or revision process.

Where a preview is provided, customers should carefully review the sculpture according to the instructions accompanying that preview.

An unfinished preview may show the sculpture before final painting, glazing, firing, or finishing.

Accordingly, an unfinished preview should not be interpreted as a complete representation of the final product.

If a customer approves a preview, that approval authorizes MODCER Studio to proceed with subsequent production stages.

Once irreversible production steps have begun, certain changes may no longer be technically possible.

Additional details are available in our Frequently Asked Questions and Returns & Refund Policy.

10. Ceramic Material Characteristics

Ceramic is a natural and inherently rigid material.

Minor variations, shrinkage, texture differences, surface irregularities, glaze variations, or other changes may occur during drying and firing.

These characteristics are a normal part of ceramic production.

Ceramic products are also breakable and should be handled with reasonable care.

Our sculptures are intended primarily as decorative artwork unless otherwise expressly stated.

11. Website Availability

We make reasonable efforts to keep our website accessible and functioning properly.

However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access at all times.

Temporary interruptions may occur due to:

  • Maintenance

  • Technical problems

  • Hosting issues

  • Internet disruptions

  • Security updates

  • Third-party services

  • Events outside our reasonable control

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, update, or discontinue parts of the website when reasonably necessary.

12. Pricing and Errors

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that pricing and product information are accurate.

However, typographical errors, technical errors, outdated information, or incorrect pricing may occasionally appear.

If a material error affects an order, we may contact the customer before proceeding and provide appropriate options consistent with applicable law.

Prices, promotions, discounts, shipping offers, product availability, and customization options may change from time to time.

The terms shown at checkout at the time of purchase generally apply to that transaction.

13. External Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, services, social media platforms, payment processors, shipping providers, or other external resources.

These third-party services operate independently from MODCER Studio.

We are not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices, terms, security, or operations of third-party websites or services.

Customers should review the policies of those third parties where appropriate.
