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.

1.2. E-decor Project.
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 Decorilla (in Decorilla’ sole discretion) to enter an E-decor Project may submit Design Proposals (“Design Proposals”) in the format specified by Decorilla by following the instructions on the Site. Design Proposals must comply with the Decorilla’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 Decorilla. If no proposal is selected in a Private Project, Decorilla will retain the Customer Payment, Decorilla 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 Decorilla. If no proposal is selected in a Pre-Paid Project, Decorilla 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 Decorilla 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 Decorilla 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 Decorilla or via any other method specified by Decorilla 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 Decorilla 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 Decorilla. Decorilla 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 Decorilla. Decorilla 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. Decorilla 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.
