12) Intellectual Property Rights
The Site and all its content including but not limited to text, code, graphics, photographs, and drawings are subject to copyright, trademarks and other Intellectual Property rights owned by Us or licensed to Us. You may not download content for any purpose whatsoever without Our prior written consent or, where applicable, Our licensors. We reserve all rights not expressly granted in the Site and its content.

The use of the Site is entirely at Your own risk, to the extent that may be permitted by law and We exclude all warranties and representations, whether express or implied, which may apply to Our Site or its contents.
14) Purchasing Design Services
In order to secure Our Design Services, You must either:
Purchase one or more of Our Design Packages through the Site, thereby initiating a Project with Us; or
Contact Us through the Site for a free bespoke quotation.
Your contract for the Design Services will be between You and Us, subject to these Terms and Conditions. When We collect money in relation to the Design Services, We do so on Our own behalf.
Your order for the Design Services, when made through the purchase of one or more of Our Design Packages, constitutes Your formal offer to Us. Acceptance of Your offer will take place when We confirm Your order in writing, at which point a contract will come into being.
If for any reason We are unable to accept Your order in whole or in part, We will advise You of this in writing and no contract will come into effect. Any payment You have sent Us will be due for a return to You. We may indicate, as applicable, the part or parts We can accept, together with the fee payable on them, and such communication will constitute Our counter-offer to You. Should You accept this counter-offer, a contract will come into being and an adjustment will be made accordingly to the sum due for a return to You.
If You contact Us for a bespoke quotation, Our quotation will constitute Our offer to You. Acceptance will take place when You give Us instruction to proceed in writing, at which point a contract will come into being.
Upon the creation of a contract, We shall notify you of a Project number, which You should use in all further communication with Us. We will also confirm with You Our anticipated schedule for performing Your Project and agree with You on the proposed start date.
15) Information Provided By You
We may need certain information from You in order to provide the Design Services You have requested, such as room dimension or choice of style. Our Site and Interactive Services should facilitate Your submission to Us of the necessary information, depending on the Design Services You have selected. Where We do not have such information, or it is incomplete, We will contact You to explain what is required.
You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of any measurements you send Us.
If You do not provide Us with the information We have requested within a reasonable time frame or the information is incomplete or incorrect, We may either terminate the contract or request further payment to cover all reasonable additional costs incurred.
16) Services Provided By Us
The precise performance and output of Our Design Services will depend upon the Design Package(s) You have selected but may typically comprise the following: Phone or video consultation with Your designer, mood board, concept, 2D plans and layouts, and curated shopping list. A description of the activities and deliverables associated with each Design Package is provided on Our Site.
You will have the opportunity during the design process to provide feedback to Us in order that the Design Services We provide may fully satisfy Your Project expectations. Although We always hope to identify what You want straightaway, We recognize that more than one iteration of the design process may be required.
Where the Design Package includes any 3D content, such as 3D rendering, visualisation, walkthrough, or similar, this work will be undertaken once only, for the design that has been given Your final approval.
We will provide the deliverables of Your Project via email to the address You provided at the time of ordering.
17) Third-Party Links
Where Our Design Services include a curated shopping list with links to third party websites for the purchase of items, although We will always endeavor to select retailers that share Our high standards, We are not responsible for the content, security, performance, practices or policies of their websites and do not guarantee or warrant that they will be inoffensive, fit for purpose or free of viruses or other malware.
Any purchase by You from a third-party retailer is made by way of a separate contract between You and the retailer. We are neither a party to such a contract nor an agent of You or the retailer.
18) Cancellation
You have 14 days from entering into a contract with Us in which you can cancel it. If You do so within this ‘cooling-off’ period and the date agreed for starting the Design Services is outside this 14 day period, We will refund all payments You have made for them in full.
If, however, the agreed start date lies within this 14 day period, We will deduct from the refund all costs incurred up to the time of You canceling.
If the Design Services have been completed, no refund will be made.
19) Payment and Price
If You select one of Our Design Packages, the price will be clearly identified at the time of placing the Design Package in the online shopping basket and further confirmed at the time of checking out. Payment shall be made by secure online card payment.
If You contact us for a free bespoke quotation, We shall clearly identify the price of the Design Services to be performed in Our offer to You. If You accept this offer, We shall send You an invoice for the quoted amount which shall be due for payment by BACS transfer prior to the start of the Design Services. Payment instructions will be included with the invoice.
All prices include Valued Added Tax where applicable.
20) Termination Of The Design Services
You may cancel the Design Services without cause at any time during the 14-day‘ cooling-off’ period, and we shall return Your payment, subject to any applicable deductions (see Section 18 Cancellation).
We shall carry out and complete the Design Services with the reasonable skill and care to be expected of a designer experienced in providing services of a similar nature. You have a legal right to terminate the contract if We fail to meet this standard. However, We will not be considered at fault simply because You do not like any item or recommendation of Our Design Services.
We may terminate the contract if You break it, and in particular if:
You do not make any payments due within a reasonable timescale; or
You do not provide Us with the information necessary for performing the Design Services.
If We end the contract, We will return any payments You have made, subject to any deductions for costs incurred up to the moment of termination.
All notices of termination shall be in writing.
21) Assignment
We may transfer Our rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions to another party.
22) Third-Party Rights
These Terms and Conditions provide for a contract between You and Us. No other party shall have the right to enforce any of its terms.
23) Applicable Law
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of England and for all matters arising in connection with their use both We and You shall submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
