Designer and Client agree as follows:

SCOPE

Designer shall develop interior furnishing specifications that may include coloration, fabrics, lighting, and furnishings as required. Designer’s services do not include contractor services, landscape design, or architecture. Designer shall consult other professionals such as lighting consultants, landscape architects, architects, and others. Client acknowledges that Project deadlines are subject to the vagaries of the marketplace and the performance of third parties.

DESIGN FEES

Designer shall be compensated on an hourly basis at the rate of $30 an hour.  All hours or partial hours Designer is working on and/or for the project will be considered design fees. Hourly charges will be invoiced to Client in 20-hour increments and are payable by Client upon receipt of invoice. All Design Fees are non refundable.

PURCHASING

Designer will present a specification to Client for Client to purchase directly from a vendor. Client is wholly responsible for all items purchased. When applicable, full deposit is required for each item and only upon receipt of deposit will Designer place orders. Designer shall arrange delivery of Designer-purchased furnishings and other items purchased on behalf of the Client for the project.

REFUNDS & CANCELATIONS

Once purchased, some items cannot be returned or cancelled, therefore requests to do so will be assessed on a per-item basis with no guarantee of return or cancellation. Requests for returns and cancellations will be billed hourly. Design Fees and reimbursable expenses are non-refundable, even when associated with a return or cancellation.

NO PRICE GUARANTEE

Designer cannot guarantee prices of merchandise, interior installation, like a handyman, or other services not performed by Designer. Vendor pricing is subject to change and out of the control of Designer.

PAYMENT

Invoices are due with payment within 7 days. Invoices more than 30 days past due will accrue a 10% late fee per month and all work will cease until invoice is paid. Designer does not accept credit cards.

DESIGN PROPOSALS

Designer’s design proposals are conceptual in nature and are intended to set forth design intent; they are not to be used for architectural or engineering purposes. Designer services do not include modifications to structural, heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, ventilation or other mechanical systems in the Project. Designer shall be held harmless for relying on the accuracy of information provided by the Client. Project drawings and documents cannot be used by Client for any purpose other than completion of the project by Designer as laid out in this agreement.

CONTRACTORS & CONSULTANTS

Designer is not a general contractor and does not provide contractor services. If a project requires contractors and/or consultants to perform work based on Designers concepts, Client will enter in a contract directly with each contractor and/or consultant. Designer provides no warranty, guarantee, certification, or responsibility for the performance, quality, or timely completion of any work performed or materials installed by Contractors, nor their agents or employees. Designer shall cooperate with and observe Consultants for the purpose of general conformity of the design plan but is not responsible for their oversight.

Client is responsible for insurance coverage of furnishings and materials during handling, moving, storage, and installation. Designer cannot be held responsible for inadequate insurance coverage.

Client agrees to allow Designer and/or Designer's representatives to photograph the project during all stages of Design Services including when the project is complete. Photographs will be used for business purposes, including, but not limited to: press, publications, online, social media, marketing, advertising, and print. Designer will not disclose the address or Client’s name without prior consent. Costs of photographs and publicity are the responsibility of the Designer. Additionally, if Client or Client's agents document the project, Designer shall be given credit as the designer if documentation is released publicly for profit. If documentation is shared publicly in any other case it is appreciated but not required that Client give Designer credit.

TERMINATION

Designer or Client can terminate this agreement by notifying the other party in writing. Client will be responsible for any outstanding reimbursable charges and hourly fees.
