II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: We agree to design one or more of your rooms, as
you select on this website, at the price allocated with each room on this website.
III. PROJECT BUDGET: We will design your room in accordance with the budget
you select in our “lifestyle questionnaire” located under the “blueprint” icon
on our website. You will be responsible for purchasing each item. As such, the
questionnaire is simply a way to gauge the appropriate vendors for you to shop.
IV. BASIC SERVICES:
1. Blueprint’s designs are conceptual in nature and are intended to set forth
design intent only. We will design and you will receive a final blueprint
delivered to your front door, reflecting our suggested layout and design
of your chosen room, complete with fabrics, flooring, lighting, wallpaper,
interior finishes, ceiling treatments, paint swatches, installation, cabinet
and accessory recommendations (the “Blueprint Package”). Detailed
instruction on where to purchase the suggested items, either online or
locally, will also be included. Once we have reviewed your submission,
if necessary, we will call you or email you for clarification. You agree
to provide accessible contact information which we may use (if needed)
throughout the design process. We can be reached through email. You will
receive your Blueprint Package approximately 4-6 weeks after your final
submission to our website. If requested, we can try to incorporate existing
furniture or accessories that you upload on to our website. We may
recommend re-finishing, re-upholstering, or other forms of improvements,
if necessary. One (1), thirty (30) minute follow-up call is included with
your Blueprint Package, should you require further guidance. Blueprint
will re-specify up to three elements in each room, if necessary, at our sole
cost and expense.
2. Exclusions: Your Blueprint Package will exclude the design or
modification of heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical, ventilation
or other mechanical systems, telecommunications, computer network,
specialized lighting controls or AV systems, and specialty audio/video
or acoustical design work, as well as unforeseen conditions of which we
are not notified in writing. Blueprint does not provide architectural or
engineering services and, as such, our designs are intended to be used for
design purposes only.
V. COMPENSATION: Blueprint shall be compensated on a flat-fee basis
for each room you select, in accordance with the price schedule stated on
our website. Payment is due simultaneously with the submission of your
measurements, “lifestyle questionnaire”, and inspiration images, if any. We will not
commence work on your Blueprint Package until after we have received payment in
full. Telephone conversations beyond the one (1), thirty (30) minute follow-up call,
included in the Blueprint Package, shall be billed at an hourly rate of $175/hour. If
you request us to re-specify over three elements in any room, such additional design
Services will be billed at our hourly rate of $175/hour. Prepayment is required for
any and all additional time spent on your Blueprint Package.
ALL FEES AND CHARGES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, INCLUDING FOR
UNUSED PORTIONS OF DESIGN SERVICES AND/OR CANCELLED
SUBSCRIPTIONS. WE DO NOT PROVIDE PRICE PROTECTION OR
REFUNDS IN THE EVENT OF A PRICE DROP OR PROMOTIONAL
OFFERING.
VI. SCHEDULE AND STANDARD OF PRACTICE: We shall perform our
Services expeditiously as is consistent with professional skill and care and the
orderly progress of work. You will receive your Blueprint Package approximately
4-6 weeks after your final submission to our website. All services provided by
Blueprint under this Agreement shall be consistent with sound professional
practices, shall be rendered in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill
ordinarily required of members of the profession currently practicing in the same
locality under similar conditions and shall incorporate those federal, state, and local
laws, regulations, codes and standards that are applicable to the Services we render.
Blueprint shall not be responsible for implementing the design in the selected room,
nor for the work performed by any contractor, sub-contractor, or architect.
VII.
GENERAL ITEMS: All designs are instruments of service and shall
remain the property of Blueprint, whether the project for which they are made is
executed or not. Blueprint designs may not be used for any purpose other than
completion of the project recommended in the Blueprint Package. In the event that
the project is published in any type of publication, you agree to include reference
to Blueprint. Blueprint reserves the right to photograph the project and its related
designs for publication purposes.
AS AREA CALCULATIONS AND MEASUREMENTS ARE PROVIDED
BY YOU, IN NO EVENT SHALL BLUEPRINT BE HELD LIABLE FOR
VARIATIONS IN THE AREA CALCULATIONS OR MEASUREMENTS.
Blueprint shall not be held responsible or liable for vendor’s items that are out
of stock, unavailable, or discontinued. Blueprint shall not be held responsible or
liable for permits, governmental approvals, engineering, architectural services,
manufacturing defects, acts of God, delays or actions of third parties. Blueprint
shall not be held responsible for final prices given by contractors and/or suppliers.

techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs

responsible for the failure of construction contractors to carry out their work in
accordance with plans, specifications or other construction documents. To the
maximum extent permitted by New York State law, you agree to limit Blueprint’s
liability for damages to the sum of our design fee for the room which is the subject
matter of the alleged claim. This limitation shall apply regardless of the cause of
action or legal theory asserted.
In performing its duties and obligations under this Agreement, Blueprint will act as
an independent contract for you, and not as your agent.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, both as
to interpretation and performance. Any element of this Agreement held to violate a
law or regulation shall be deemed void and all remaining provisions shall continue
in force and effect. In the event that Blueprint hires an attorney to enforce any right
under this Agreement, you shall reimburse Blueprint for all such attorney fees and
expenses, regardless of whether suit is filed.
