1. Description of the Services
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Services will enable registered users of the Site to connect with interior design professionals (the “Interior Designer“). The Interior Designer will provide registered users with interior design expertise based upon a package fee structure as detailed in the The Shop Page.
1.1 Interior Design Online Packages
1.1.1 Process
Once you purchase one of our Interior Design Package, we will pair you with an Interior Designer. The first engagement consists of an initial consultation in which the Interior Designer will review your shared materials and/or talk to you through a phone or video call to scope the space and obtain information regarding your project (the “Project“).
The Interior Designer will then start working on the deliverables of the selected interior package. The duration of this second phase depends on the size and complexity of each project so it will be estimated and communicated to the Client after Initial Consultation. If needed the project timeline can be estimated and communicated before purchasing the Interior Design Package.
Deliverables will be shared upon completion so to allow the Client to have enough time to go through them and make the necessary comments. Interior Designer will then revision the deliverables according the client’s feedbacks (for more details about feedback and revision session, please refer to paragraph “Design Revisions & Project Deliverables”.
On-site visit and furniture procurement will occur only if the Client has purchased them and will happen according each project specific timeline and Client’s needs.

*Revision: a revision constitutes a change or variation to an initially presented—or in-progress—design concept, and is typically a change of less than 1/4 of the design. A revision is simply meant to be a slight modification or course correction to progress toward the final design. A new design concept is not considered a revision. This means that a new design concept would be an addition to the project, and would need to be estimated separately, in addition to the current project estimate.
**Unlimited Revisions: proposal reviews will be processed until customer confirms the internal layout and product selection. In case customer expectations require more than a common-sense review process, extra reviews will be charged on a hourly rate basis.
We reserve the right to modify any of the 3 standard design packages according to Client request. In this case an ad-hoc pricing will be shared privately via e-mail.
