3.1. How we will accept your order:
Our acceptance of your order will take place when we call, write or email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
3.2. If we cannot accept your order:
If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you. This might be because the products are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Services or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
3.3. Your order number:
We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
3.4. We only sell to the UK:
Our brochure and website are solely for the promotion of our products and services in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from or deliver to addresses outside the UK.
4.1. Services:
Our services to you are detailed in the Order Form, these include the following:
Service 1 – Design;
Service 2 – supply of Goods;
Service 3 – Installation;
Service 4 – Renovation.
4.2. Designs may vary slightly from their pictures.
The images of the designs produced for consultations, website, brochure and social media content are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colour or a picture in our brochure accurately reflects the colour of the designs. Your design may vary slightly from those images.
4.3. Making sure your measurements are accurate.
When we are making the design to measurements you have given us, you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements are correct.
4.4 Your existing technology. Your Space Living and our recommended subcontractors cannot be held responsible for specialised pre-existing technology that’s been installed in your house. This may include wireless computer networks, security alarms or bluetooth receivers etc.
Should you have any complex technology in your house that would be considered specialised, please let us know, so that every precaution can be taken to maintain the integrity of your systems.
4.5 Existing issues within your property. Your Space Living and our recommended subcontractors cannot be held responsible for issues arising from pre-existing problems in your house. Our team of professionals are extremely experienced and work to the highest standards. However, unexpected problems can occur when they encounter previous installations that don’t meet safety standards.
Should they encounter faulty or failing electrical work, plumbing or building issues, the onus will be on you, the home owner, to remedy the situation safely and effectively.
4.6. Subcontracting.
Parts of our Service will be undertaken by our Subcontractors. We will inform you of who these subcontractors are and which elements of the Service they will be undertaking.
4.7. Delays.
If the performance of our obligations under this Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of you, your agents, subcontractors, or consultants then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, we shall be allowed an extension of time to perform its obligations equal to the delay caused by you.
4.8. Purchasing Goods on your behalf.
You must be in full agreement prior to us purchasing an item on your behalf as part of our Services. Rejection of a purchased item on the grounds of preference could invoke re-stocking charges. This is purely dependent on the source supplier’s terms and conditions. Additionally, if the rejected item has already been installed, you will be responsible for the removal cost. We will ensure that all reasonable efforts are taken to minimise the impact of rejected Goods.
4.9 Independently purchased goods.
There are scenarios when clients wish to purchase their own goods for a particular project. An example of this is when we, as a business, are unable to supply a specific item or something similar. We do engage with this process but we are unable to take any responsibility for independently purchased items.
We do not engage with a client who wishes to purchase specific items on the basis of price comparison. Our team spend huge amounts of time designing spaces and selecting goods and products for a specific project. We have also built trusted and reliable relationships with suppliers over many years. On this basis, our products are always fairly priced. We choose not to compete with faceless internet companies, many of which are running Dropshipping or high-turnover “box-shifting” operations.
4.10. Faulty Goods.
You acknowledge that we cannot be held responsible for supplier’s mistakes or supply of faulty Goods. However, in the event of a faulty item, we will endeavour to ensure the supplier complies to the Consumer Protection Act of 1987.
4.11. Working with existing items.
It is sometimes the case that clients wish to re-use certain items. This might include range cookers, American fridge freezers or Belfast sinks (among other items). We will make reasonable effort to protect the existing item, however, in such cases we cannot be held responsible for unforeseen issues that arise from reusing an item.
4.12. Photography. Photography is an important part of our Services.
This includes “work in progress” images to aid communication, as well as completed projects for marketing purposes. Your privacy is important to us. If photography is an issue to you, it is important that any preferences are made clear before the commencement of any work.

5.1.1. We shall retain ownership of all intellectual property rights related to the Design work;
5.1.2. If you choose to engage with our Services after the provision of the Designs we shall grant you, or shall procure the direct grant to you of, a fully paid-up, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to copy and modify the Designs for the purpose of receiving and using the Services and the Designs; and
5.1.3. You shall not sub-license, assign or otherwise transfer the rights granted in clause 5.1.2.

We may request that you certify to us in writing that you have complied with any of the obligations in this clause.
5.5. Inadequacy of Damages.

Accordingly, we shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the terms of this clause.
5.6. Indemnity.
You shall indemnify us against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including but not limited to any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and all other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by us arising out of or in connection with any breach of your obligations contained in clause this clause 5. Your liability will be capped at the contract total.

If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

9.1. You can always end your Contract with us.
Your rights when you end the Contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the Contract:
9.1.1. If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the Contract (or to get the Goods repaired or replaced or a Service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back). See clause 11.
9.1.2. If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do. See clause 9.2.
9.1.3. If you have just changed your mind about the Service, see clause 9.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any Goods.
9.2. Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do.
If you are ending a Contract for a reason set out at 9.2.1 to 9.2.3, the Contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
9.2.1. There is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

9.2.3. You have a legal right to end the Contract because of something we have done wrong.
9.3. Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013).

9.4. When you don't have the right to change your mind.
You do not have a right to changing your mind in respect of:
9.4.1. Goods that have been installed;
9.4.2. Services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running;

However, once we have completed the Services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the Services, you must pay us for the Services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.
9.5.2. Goods. You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the Goods, unless your Goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the Goods.
9.6. Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind.
Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind, you can still end the Contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for Services is completed when we have finished providing the Services and you have paid for them. If you want to end the Contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and where there’s no right to change your mind, just contact us to let us know. The Contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for Services not yet provided or Goods not yet purchased by us on your behalf. However, we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract. (See 9.7)
9.7 Compensation for design services
Your Space Living would expect to be compensated for design work undertaken in good faith. The contract starts at the point when a designer has been instructed to design a room space. The compensation amount would depend on whether or not a holding deposit has been paid.
In the event that a holding deposit has been paid, no further recourse would be sought by Your Space Living Ltd.
In the event that no holding deposit has been paid, Your Space Living would seek compensation up to a maximum of £3000 depending on the length of the engagement.

If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
10.6.1. We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
10.6.2. The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
10.6.3. In relation to Services, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the Service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the Contract.

11.3. We may withdraw the Services.
We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Services. We will let you know at least 5 days in advance of our stopping the supply of the Services and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for services which will not be provided.

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 040506.

if you haven't agreed a price beforehand, what you're asked to pay must be reasonable.
if you haven't agreed a time beforehand, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.
See also clause 9.3.
12.4. Your obligation to return rejected Goods.
If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. Please call us on 01446 796731 or email us at info@yourspaceliving.com for a return label or to arrange collection.
13.1. Where to find the price for the Services.
The price of the Services (which includes VAT) will be the price as set out in the Order Form. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Services advised to you is correct. However please see clause 13.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
13.2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT.
If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
13.3. What happens if we got the price wrong?
It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
13.4. When you must pay and how you must pay.
We accept payment with Mastercard and Visa, as well as direct bank transfers using the BACS system. When you must pay depends on what Service you are buying:
13.4.1. For Goods, you must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the Goods to you.
13.4.2. For services, you must make the payments as set out in the Order Form, some of these payments will need to be made before we start providing the Services. We will invoice you for the balance of the price of the Services when we have completed them OR we will invoice you weekly [in advance OR in arrear] for the services until the services are completed]. You must pay each invoice within 14 calendar days after the date of the invoice.
13.5. We can charge interest if you pay late.
If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
13.6. What to do if you think an invoice is wrong.
If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
14. How we work.
As part of the payment structure, Your Space Living will require a holding deposit before work can commence. This deposit is offset against the total cost of the project.
Please be aware that the holding deposit is non-refundable once work has begun, be that design work or furniture manufacture. This is due to the bespoke nature of our design service and specifics of the made-to-order process. Deposits related to off-the-shelf products, such as appliances or sanitary ware will be subject to a handling fee, as specified by the supplier.
The payment of a holding deposit does not equate to the purchase of a design concept. All design work produced by Your Space Living is copyright protected. The copyright of all design work is retained by Your Space Living Ltd. For further reading, please see the section "Intellectual property".
15.1. We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.
If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
15.2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.
This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Services as summarised at clause 12.3; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
15.3. When we are liable for damage to your property.
If we are providing Services in your property, we will make good any damage to your property caused by us while doing so. However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that we discover while providing the services.
15.4. We are not liable for business losses.
We only supply the Services for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
16.1. How we may use your personal information.
We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy.
17.1. We may transfer this Agreement to someone else.
Subject to obtaining your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), we may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.
17.2. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee).
You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
17.3. Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to).
This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
17.4. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force.
Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
17.5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
17.6. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings.
These terms are governed by English and Welsh law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Services in the English and Welsh courts.
17.7. Alternative dispute resolution.

If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use.
