You must be 18 years old to access or take advantage of the Site or Services. If you do not agree to this Agreement's terms, DO NOT ACCESS AND/OR USE THE SITE OR SERVICES.

1. Service.

1.1. General.

TheHauss is a platform that connects customers who wish to purchase interior design services and interior design consultation services ("Designer Consultation") through the submission of photos and data about their design projects ("Customers") and designers who wish to provide such services ("Designers"), providing a Design Concept Proposal ("Design Proposal") and online and on-interior design service that offers 3D room renderings, shopping lists with links, color palettes, mood boards, tips and implementation guides, a floor plan, and a checklist ("E-Interior Design Package"). A "User" is anyone who uses the Site or Service, whether they are Designers or Customers. As a Customer, you are subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Customers. This Agreement applies to you if you are a Designer to the extent it pertains to Designers. If you are a User, the provisions in this Agreement regarding Users apply to you. Designers whose Design Proposal is selected by the Customer in an E-Interior Design Package are called "winning Designers.". The applicable Customer is referred to as the "buying customer.". "Sold E-Interior Design Package" means the applicable winning Design Proposal and contents of the E-Interior Design Package and online décor services. The applicable sale is referred to as a sale. The term "IPR" encompasses all trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, mask work rights, patents, and other intellectual property rights recognized by legislation in any country.

1.2. E-Interior Design Package

By making a Design Brief ("Design Brief") and paying the Customer Payment, this Customer may create an E-Interior Design Package ("E-Interior Design Package"). E-Interior Design Package is currently offered in two forms: pre-paid projects and private projects. Designers invited by TheHauss (in TheHauss' sole discretion) to enter an E-Interior Design Package may submit Design Proposals ("Design Proposals") in the format specified by TheHauss by following the instructions on the Site. Quality Standards and Design Brief of TheHauss must be followed. Customers must choose one winning Design Proposal for Private Projects within a certain deadline or request more than one Design Proposal by TheHauss. During a Private Project, if no proposal is selected, TheHauss will retain the Customer Payment, TheHauss will retain 50% of the Customer Payment and distribute the remaining 50% to the Designer, and the Customer will not be entitled to a refund or the right to utilize the Design Proposals. TheHauss requires the Customer to select one winning Design Proposal or request more Design Proposals within the specified timeframe for project pre-payment.

TheHauss does not offer refunds in Pre-Paid Projects where no proposal is selected. Customers have sixty (60) days to complete the Winning Design unless the Designer or TheHauss instructs otherwise prior to the project beginning. The following activities may not be taken part in a successful E-Decor Project by the Customer: (a) allowing or requesting the designers to submit proposals or design services other than through the site; (b) colluding in the awarding of a designer account to the Customer. Customers and Designers must deal on an arm's length basis. This means that a customer who meets a designer on this Site separately for any purpose is not permitted to contact the Designer individually, which results in the Customer avoiding paying TheHauss for future projects with the same Designer. Designers may not sell furniture or services to Customers other than through the Site. A refund may be paid back to a Buying Customer in the same manner as a Customer Payment or in another manner as determined by TheHauss at its discretion from time to time. TheHauss must reimburse the Selling Designer for the applicable Designer Fee when refunding Buying Customers or resolving credit card chargebacks. Initially, the Buying Customer will receive the Customer Payment, less the Designer Fee; however, the refund will only be processed after the Selling Designer reimburses TheHauss. TheHauss may refund Buying Customer if the Customer's order (or request made) is found fraudulent; the Customer placed a duplicate order (or request) in error. All furniture and decor refunds are handled according to the refund policy of the individual vendor from which each item was purchased and cannot be adjusted by TheHauss. Because colors and textures may appear differently on each Customer's and Designer's monitor, TheHauss cannot guarantee color accuracy. Customers are responsible for verifying item sizes before ordering shopping list items, as sizes may appear different in renderings. Designer (Consultation) recommendations must be verified by TheHauss. However, customers are also responsible for checking and verifying all (Consultation).

1.3. Warranties and Representations.

It is the Designer's representation and warranty that performing their obligations under this Agreement, including the execution and delivery of this Agreement, all media provided to TheHauss for promotional use, and the performance of the Designer's obligations under this Agreement, are not in conflict with, or in violation of, any other agreement, order, license, or decree to which the Designer is a party or to which he is obligated. As a result of the Designer's breach of any of the foregoing warranties or if the Designer is found to have infringed or misappropriated any third party intellectual property, The and the Buying Customer are held harmless, including costs and attorneys' fees.

A designer who maintains a website that sells interior design services or products must feature a TheHauss badge and link to TheHauss.com as determined by TheHauss (including blogs about TheHauss design projects). A watermark of TheHauss's logo and name must appear on all publicly shared images of our clients' designs. TheHauss must be referenced in all public media content (for example, press releases and blog posts) to the extent that the Designer has sufficient control over the media.

1.4. The purchase, return, and implementation of projects

What we enjoy most about TheHauss is taking your vision from concept to reality. All items should be inspected upon receipt, and if there are any issues, don't hesitate to contact our ordering team at order@thehauss.com promptly.

You can reduce returns by following these tips:

You should request paint and color samples before you make a purchase. Because colors and finishes may differ on the screen and in the pictures, you may want to double-check them. If needed, vendors can provide more photos of an item.
It is essential to tape paint samples to walls that can be viewed at different times of the day and in other lights prior to painting.
You should measure the entryways, hallways, and doorways to ensure the items will fit in the room of your choice.
It is always recommended to have the windows professionally measured. We have vendors who offer this service free of charge. Feel free to inquire about this with the Project Management team.

Here are some tips to ensure a smooth return process:

Immediately notify our team if you have issues with your items after receiving them.
Should damage be discovered in the delivery process, refuse the shipment.
We will be able to resolve any issues as soon as possible if you include at least three pictures and a short description.
You may need the original packaging to process your return.

Return Policy

Furniture purchased from third-party vendors is covered by the return policy and warranty of the vendor. Return deadlines, shipping fees, and pickup costs are a few of the terms and fees that apply. We will advocate on your behalf with each vendor to make the process as seamless as possible.

Please be aware that we attempt to display the best price for furniture and decor items, but prices can change as vendors adjust their fees (including shipping, white glove delivery, and assembly charge).

There will be no cancellations, returns, or exchanges on custom orders and final sales.

It is not the responsibility of The Hauss or its representatives to correct mismeasurements or color variations of furniture for E-Interior Design projects. Additionally, there is no responsibility on the part of The Hauss for suggested items fitting through doorways, hallways, or staircases for an E-Design Project order. Customers are advised to verify all measurements and colors in their space prior to making a purchase.

In case the Project is outside NC, USA, TheHauss strongly recommends consulting with a licensed professional before beginning any construction activities. There will be no liability on the part of TheHauss for any consequential or punitive damages resulting from the use of this website.

TheHauss will not be responsible for any consequential or punitive damages for E-Design Packages concerning furniture and decor deliveries. No action for breach of these Terms and Conditions may be brought more than one year after completion of services by TheHauss.

You can find TheHauss's Interior Design Service Packages on the TheHauss website under the 'Services' tab if your Project is in NC, USA. When the client purchases a TheHauss on-site service package, TheHauss takes on the required responsibility related to the Project based on the scope of services included in the contract.

Refund Processing

TheHauss processes refund back to your original payment method once it receives them from the vendor. Timelines may vary depending on the vendor, and our team will continue working on this until your refund is processed.

Unless otherwise stated, "Customer Payment" means (i) the price selected by the Customer when the Customer created an E-Design Project; and (ii) the customized prize amount that includes the incentive amount entered by the Buying Customer. The Buying Customer will not pay the Designer an amount over the Customer Payment for the Sold Design Package, nor shall the Customer pay the Designer separately outside of the Site in connection with the supply of an E-Interior Design Package or online design service.
