Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 24, 2026
Welcome to deckdesignbuild.com. You are reading the rules of engagement. We architect presentation decks that close high-stakes deals. We deal in narrative clarity, typography, and data visualization. By accessing this website or hiring our team, you agree to these terms. Read them carefully. They dictate exactly how we work together. If you reject these terms, leave the site immediately.
1. Clarification of Services
Let us establish our boundaries immediately. We receive emails every week asking what kind of lumber we use for framing. People ask about our preferred fasteners, weatherproofing treatments, and patio permits. We do not build wooden structures attached to houses. We build business presentations.
If you need pressure-treated pine, you are in the wrong place.
We design board decks, sales presentations, and investor pitches. We organize your chaotic business data into a linear, persuasive visual format. We help founders and executives engage prospective investors. You use our site to learn about presentation architecture. You hire us to build the actual files.
2. Scope of Work and Limitations
A sharp deck gets you a second meeting. It does not fix a broken business model. We guarantee a professional, buttoned-up presentation that signals competence to venture capitalists and enterprise buyers. We never guarantee funding. We never guarantee closed deals. Your success depends entirely on your market fit, your delivery, and your actual business metrics.
We build two distinct products. We build read-ahead decks that investors consume on their phones. We build cinematic presentation decks designed for a live projector. These are fundamentally different assets. You cannot use one for the other. When you hire us, the scope of work defines exactly which format you receive. We do not convert a 40-slide reading document into a 10-slide visual pitch for free.
You bring the substance. We bring the finesse.
3. Intellectual Property and Asset Ownership
Our website contains years of hard-won expertise. We publish teardowns of successful Series A pitches. We share proprietary grid systems. We write detailed guides on typography hierarchy. We own all of it. You cannot scrape our articles, copy our layout frameworks, or steal our case studies to promote your own design agency.
When you hire us for a custom deck, the ownership rules shift. You own the final exported files. You own your proprietary data, your logos, and your brand assets. We retain the rights to the underlying design templates and structural frameworks we developed before meeting you. We do not transfer native working files unless explicitly stated in your contract.
We also reserve the right to display non-confidential slides in our portfolio. We always ask permission before sharing anything sensitive. We routinely swap out real revenue numbers for dummy data before publishing case studies.
4. Confidentiality and Client Data
Pitch decks contain highly sensitive information. Cap tables. Revenue run rates. Churn metrics. Unreleased product roadmaps. We treat your data with strict confidentiality. We sign standard mutual non-disclosure agreements. We do not sign overly broad agreements that prevent us from working with other technology companies in adjacent spaces.
This trust goes both ways. You must provide accurate information.
Do not ask us to build an MRR chart that misrepresents your growth. Do not hand us fabricated customer testimonials. If we discover you are using our design services to defraud investors, we will terminate the project immediately. We keep the deposit. We walk away.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
This website operates on an “as is” basis. We share practical examples and tips we developed over the last 15 years. We test our presentation strategies in real boardrooms. We know what works today. But markets change. Investor preferences shift. What secured a seed round three years ago fails today.
Software environments also break. Figma pushes an update. Keynote changes its rendering engine. Custom fonts fail to load on a legacy Windows machine. We deliver tested, stable files. We cannot control the software environment on the receiving end. Always export a backup PDF.
Therefore, we offer no absolute warranties. The information on deckdesignbuild.com serves an educational purpose. It is not professional financial advice. It is not legal counsel. You apply our narrative frameworks at your own risk. We disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
6. Limitation of Liability
High-stakes presentations carry high risks. You might freeze during the pitch. The projector might break. The partners at the venture firm might simply hate your industry. We hold no liability for your business outcomes.
Under no circumstances shall deckdesignbuild.com or its operators face liability for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. This includes lost profits, lost data, or business interruption. If a broken hyperlink in your appendix costs you a follow-up meeting, that is on you. Always test your files before you present.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from our website or services will never exceed the amount you paid us directly during the preceding twelve months.
7. Affiliate Disclosure
We build decks every single day. We use specific tools to get the job done. Sometimes we link to these tools in our articles. We occasionally recommend presentation software, typography foundries, vector marketplaces, or charting plugins. Some of those links are affiliate links.
If you click an affiliate link and buy a font license, we earn a small commission. This costs you nothing extra. We only recommend assets we actually install on our own machines
