Any terms that are defined in the Terms of Service and the Terms of Supply of Service shall have the same meanings in this section.

By registering or agreeing to be registered as an interior designer for IN Bespoke on this website, you expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Interior Design Referrals

Once you have registered and been approved with us as a Designer, we will aim to introduce you to people and businesses wanting to engage the services of a suitable interior designer. In doing so, we will generally:

  1. speak to or email each potential customer in order to find out more about their requirements, what they hope to achieve, their budget and timeframe (a “Project”);
  2. then contact you to determine whether you wish to offer your services to the customer in connection with the Project;
  3. agree with you a percentage commission in respect of the Project, payable in accordance with the Payment Terms below (the “Agreed Fee”). In the absence of an express written agreement as to this Agreed Fee, it will be set as per the fee table below and include any revenue you earn from the customer excluding any revenue associated with FF&E in respect of the Project;
    Project Value Fee Scale
    Up to £250.000 12.5% of the designers’ fee
    £250,001 - £500,000 10% of the designers’ fee
    £500,001+ 7.5% of the designers’ fee
  4. we will then pass your details to the customer and theirs to you. The onus will be on you to contact the customer to take the Project forward and secure the work.
For the avoidance of doubt, if you do not earn any revenue from a Project, you shall be under no obligation to pay us any Agreed Fee, unless we have expressly agreed the contrary in writing.
You acknowledge that we are under no obligation to refer work to you and that the timing and manner of any referral will be entirely at our discretion.

Subsequent Work for the same Client

A client introduced to you by us may subsequently engage you to carry out either (a) further work on the same property (“Follow-up Work”) or (b) work on another property (a “New Project”).

Where a client engages you to carry out Follow-up Work or a New Project you agree to pay us Agreed Fee at a rate of 5% of any revenue you earn from the client in respect of any Follow-up Work and at a rate of 3% of any revenue you earn in respect of any New Project excluding FF&E, such fees to be payable on the same terms as the Agreed Fee as set out in this Agreement.

Payment Terms

You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree:

  1. to keep us updated regularly as to the status of any Projects, Follow-up Work and New Projects;
  2. in particular, to inform us at the outset of any Project, Follow-up Work and New Project where you have been instructed by the customer:
    1. the agreed total budget (if any);
    2. the estimated amount of your revenue (excluding FF&E);
    3. how your fees and other revenue is to be calculated, whether as a percentage of total budget, per hour, per day, a fixed amount or some other means; and
    4. the expected duration; and
  3. issue an invoice to the Customer upon commencement of the project an amount equal to or a minimum of the Agreed Fee:
    1. to provide us with a copy of such invoice; and
    2. to pay us the Agreed Fee (plus VAT and/or any other applicable tax) within 30 days of the date of our invoice in relation to the same.

Unless otherwise provided by law, any Agreed Fee that you have paid to us is nonrefundable. You shall pay all amounts due to us in full without any deduction or withholding and shall not assert any credit or set-off or counterclaim against us in order to justify the withholding of the whole or any part of any such amount.

If any Agreed Fee becomes overdue for payment, we may claim interest on them (both before and after judgement) at a daily rate of 3% above the base rate of the Bank of England until all outstanding Agreed Fee has been received in cleared funds.

You agree to keep and make available for examination or audit on reasonable request by us or our authorised employees, agents or representatives all financial and documentary records, including (without limitation) customer invoices, that relate to Projects, Follow-up Work and New Projects. Any examination/audit will only take place upon reasonable prior notice to you and during normal business hours. Each party will bear their own costs in relation to any examination/audit.
