Bnchics provides an online platform that helps connect customers who wish to purchase online interior design services and interior design advice (“Designer Recommendations“) by submitting information about their design projects including photos, and answers to questions (“Customers”) and designers who wish to provide such services (“Designers”), including, for example, responding to projects with Design Concept Preview Proposals (“Design Proposals”), and providing online interior design services including 3D room rendering, shopping list with links, paint color palettes, moodboards, tips and implementation guide, floor plan, and to-do list (“E-Decor Package”). “User” means any user of the Site or Service, and may be a Designer or a Customer. To the extent you are a Customer, the provisions in this Agreement regarding Customers apply to you. To the extent you are a Designer, the provisions in this Agreement regarding Designers apply to you. To the extent you are a User, the provisions in this Agreement regarding Users apply to you. “Winning Designer” means a Designer whose Design Proposal is selected by Customer in an E-Decor Project. “Buying Customer” means the applicable Customer. “Sold E-Decor Package” means the applicable winning Design Proposal and contents of the E-Décor Package and online décor services. “Sale” means the applicable sale. “IPR” means all trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, mask work rights, patents and other intellectual property rights recognized by the laws of any country.
Customer may create an E-decor Project (“E-decor Project”) by creating a Decor Brief (“Decor Brief”), paying the Customer Payment, and following the other instructions on the Site. There are currently two types of E-decor Projects: (1) the default Pre-Paid Project and (2) the Private Project. Designers invited by Bnchics (in Bnchics’ sole discretion) to enter an E-decor Project may submit Design Proposals (“Design Proposals”) in the format specified by Bnchics by following the instructions on the Site. Design Proposals must comply with the Bnchics’s Quality Standards and Decor Brief. For Private Projects, Customer must select one winning Design Proposal or request more Design Proposals by a certain time specified by Bnchics. If no proposal is selected in a Private Project, Bnchics will retain the Customer Payment, Bnchics will retain 50% of the Customer Payment and distribute the remaining 50% to the Designer who participated in the Private Project, and Customer will have no right to a refund or to use the Design Proposals. For Pre-Paid Projects, Customer must select one winning Design Proposal or ask for more Design Proposals by the time specified by Bnchics. If no proposal is selected in a Pre-Paid Project, Bnchics will retain the Customer Payment and the Customer will have no right to a refund. Customer has sixty (60) days after choosing their Winning Designer to work with that designer, unless otherwise specified by the designer or Bnchics before the project commencement. Customer may not: (a) Run a E-decor Project if Customer is tendering the creation of the same design through a service other than the Site; (b) allow or request Designers to submit Design Proposals or online design services to Customer via any means other than via the Site; and (c) colluded in relation to the awarding of a winner in a E-decor Project or awarding a separate account held by Customer as the successful Designer in a E-decor Project. Customers and Designers must deal on an arm’s length basis. Customer may not contact a Designer that Customer meets though the Site separately for any purpose which results in Customer avoiding paying though Bnchics for future projects with that Designer. Designer may not sell furniture or services to Customer other than though the Site. Refunds will be paid to Buying Customer using the same payment methods Buying Customer used to remit the Customer Payment to Bnchics or via any other method specified by Bnchics from time to time. If a refund is paid to Buying Customer or a credit card charge back occurs, then: (a) Selling Designer must reimburse Bnchics for the applicable Designer Fee; and (b) Buying Customer will initially receive the amount of the Customer Payment, less the Designer Fee and will receive the Designer Fee only once the Designer Fee is reimbursed by Selling Designer to Bnchics. Bnchics may refund Buying Customer if the order placed (or request made) by the Customer is found to be fraudulent; the Customer placed a duplicate order (or request) in error. Furniture and decor refunds follow the refund policy of each specific vendor that each item was purchased from and cannot be adjusted by Bnchics. Bnchics cannot guarantee color accuracy as colors and textures may look different on each Customer’s and Designer’s monitors. Customers are responsible for verifying item sizes before ordering shopping list items as sizes may appear different in renderings. Bnchics is not responsible for verifying any Designer Recommendations. Customers are solely responsible for checking and verifying all Designer Recommendations before ordering shopping list items and/or implementing the Designer Recommendations.

Designer will indemnify and hold Bnchics and Buying Customer harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, from any third party claim arising out of a breach by the Design of the foregoing warranty or any third party claim that the Designer infringes/misappropriates.

Tips to help you reduce returns:
Request paint and color swatches prior to purchasing. Please double-check on the finishes and colors as some may vary in the photos and on screens. Additional item photos can be requested from vendors.
Test paint on your walls to view at different times of the day in different lights prior to painting or tape paint samples to the walls.
Ensure the items will fit into the room of choice by measuring entryways, hallways, and doorways.
Window measurements by a professional are always recommended. Some of our vendors offer this as a complimentary service. Please feel free to ask the ordering team about this.
Tips for a smooth return process:
Inspect all items upon delivery and contact our team of any issues immediately.
Refuse the delivery if the damage is noticed while the delivery team is still in your home
Send at least 3 photos and a short description of any issues so we can resolve them ASAP.
Keep all original packaging because it is often required to process the return.
