This Design Consultation Agreement is made on [Contract Date] between [Company Name] ("Designer") and [Client Name] ("Client").
1. The Consultation
Designer will visit Client's home at [address, date, and time] for a two-hour design consultation. Designer will give advice on [the rooms and topics, for example: the living room and kitchen layout, paint colors, lighting, and which furniture to keep or replace].
2. Written Summary
Within five business days of the visit, Designer will send a written summary of the recommendations, with paint colors and up to 10 product suggestions with links.
3. What's Not Included
The consultation doesn't include drawings, plans, mood boards, purchasing, coordinating contractors, or further visits. Designer can provide these under a separate agreement. Time beyond two hours, at Client's request, is billed at $175 per hour in half-hour increments.
4. Fee and Payment
The fee is $450, covering the two-hour visit and the written summary, with travel within 25 miles included. It's paid in full when booking, and the visit is confirmed once paid.
5. Rescheduling and Cancellation
Client may reschedule once, or cancel for a full refund, with at least 48 hours' notice. With less notice, the fee is non-refundable. If Designer needs to reschedule, Client may choose a new date or a full refund.
6. Client's Decisions
Client decides whether and how to act on the advice, and is responsible for purchases, for hiring contractors, and for checking that products and changes suit the home, including measurements and building rules. Electrical, plumbing, and structural work should be done by licensed professionals. Designer doesn't supervise any work.
7. Products
Suggested products are sold by others, and their prices and availability can change. If Designer earns a commission or trade discount on any product it suggests, it will say so in the summary.
8. Photos
Designer may photograph the rooms for reference when preparing the summary, and won't share the photos without Client's permission.
9. Limitation of Liability
Designer's total liability for any claim related to the consultation is limited to the fee paid.
