Terms of Service

Last updated: 11 September 2026. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website studio-schott.com and of the applications, integrations and tools that Studio-Schott operates under that domain ("Apps"). This includes our internal reporting and campaign-management tooling, which accesses the Google Ads API through Google Sign-In / OAuth. By using the website or an App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them.

1. Provider

Studio-Schott Kirchenanger 6 88175 Scheidegg Germany prettyhomes@studio-schott.com +49 8381 9123606

Studio-Schott is an interior-design and architecture studio. Full provider details, including the person responsible for content, are listed in the German Impressum at https://studio-schott.com/impressum.

2. What the Apps do

Our Apps are business tools that Studio-Schott operates for its own advertising work. They connect to the Google Ads API to read performance data, build reports and prepare or apply campaign changes for Google Ads accounts that Studio-Schott owns or that a client has explicitly authorised us to manage. Access is limited to Studio-Schott staff and to the account owners who connect their own account. The Apps are not a product offered to the general public, and they are not an advertising network, a data broker or a resale service.

Where an App requests the Google Ads scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords), the Google consent screen names it before you approve. We request only the scopes a function needs, and we access an account only after its owner has granted permission.

3. Scope of these Terms

These Terms cover the informational website and the Apps. They do not govern design, planning or construction services, and they do not govern an advertising-management engagement. Those are agreed separately in a written contract with the client, and the terms of that contract take precedence for the work it describes. Where a separate contract and these Terms conflict, the separate contract prevails.

4. Use of the website and Apps

You may use the website and the Apps only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • use the website or an App in a way that damages, disables, overburdens or impairs it, or interferes with another party's use;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to systems, accounts or data, or bypass authentication, rate limits or security measures;
  • connect a Google Ads account you do not own and are not authorised to manage;
  • scrape, crawl or harvest content or data at a scale that is not reasonable for ordinary use;
  • upload or transmit malicious code, or content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory or harmful;
  • use the website or an App to build a competing product, or to resell access without our written permission.

5. Accounts, connected Google Ads accounts and revocation

Connecting a Google Ads account requires you to sign in with a Google Account that has the necessary access to that account. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential, for the accuracy of the account you connect and for activity that occurs under your account. Campaign changes an App prepares are applied only where you or a written engagement authorise them; you remain responsible for the advertising content and budgets of your own account.

You may revoke an App's access at any time in your Google Account under Security → Third-party apps & services (https://myaccount.google.com/permissions), or by removing our access in the Google Ads account itself. After revocation we no longer receive data from Google. How we handle Google user data, including the Limited Use commitments, is described in our Privacy Policy at https://studio-schott.com/privacy.

6. Compliance with Google terms

Our use of the Google Ads API is subject to the Google Ads API Terms and Conditions (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/terms) and the applicable Google Ads policies, and our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements (https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy). Where these Terms conflict with the Google terms in respect of Google API data, the Google terms prevail.

7. Availability and changes

We provide the website and Apps on an “as available” basis. We may change, suspend, limit or discontinue features, or an App as a whole, at any time, and we may perform maintenance that temporarily interrupts availability. Google may also change, deprecate or restrict its APIs, which can affect an App without notice from us. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Where a change materially affects a feature you use, we will give reasonable notice if that is possible.

8. Intellectual property

The website and Apps, including texts, photographs, drawings, layouts, code and the Studio-Schott name and logo, are protected by copyright and other rights and remain the property of Studio-Schott or its licensors. Project photography may show the work of third parties and is published with permission. You may view and print pages for your own information. Any other use, in particular reproduction, distribution, public display or use for training automated systems, requires our prior written consent.

Data and content from your connected account remain yours. You grant us a non-exclusive, revocable licence to process them as required to provide the function you use, for the duration of that use.

9. Third-party services

The website and Apps rely on third-party services, currently Vercel (hosting), Web3Forms (contact form delivery), Adobe Fonts (web fonts) and Google (the Google Ads API and the services you connect, and, after your consent, statistics and advertising). Their own terms and privacy notices apply to the parts they operate. Links to external sites are provided for convenience; we do not control their content and accept no responsibility for it.

10. Fees

Use of the website and of the Apps described here is free of charge. Your own costs remain yours, in particular the advertising spend and fees billed to you by Google for your Google Ads account. If we ever offer a paid feature, the price and payment terms will be stated before you order it.

11. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act. In cases of slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of an essential contractual obligation, and in that case limited to the damage that was foreseeable and typical for this kind of use. Any further liability is excluded.

Reports and figures an App displays are derived from data supplied by Google and are provided for information. They do not constitute a guarantee of advertising performance, and they do not replace the official reporting in your Google Ads account. Content on the website is general information and does not constitute technical, legal or tax advice.

12. Term and termination

You may stop using the website and Apps at any time and disconnect a connected account as described in section 5. We may suspend or terminate your access to an App if you breach these Terms, if required by law or by Google, or if we discontinue the App. Sections that by their nature survive termination, in particular intellectual property, liability and the final provisions, remain in effect.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms to reflect changes in our services or in legal requirements. The current version is always available at https://studio-schott.com/terms and shows the date of the last update. Continued use after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which a consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected. Where permitted by law, the place of jurisdiction is the registered seat of Studio-Schott.

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

15. Final provisions

If a provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected. This English version is provided for international users and for the Google OAuth consent screen. The German Impressum and Datenschutzerklärung remain the authoritative notices for the website.
