General The Service is a platform enabling people seeking interior design services ("Clients") to find and select interior designers ("Designers"). Both Clients and Designers are "Users" of the Service. Please be advised: Although Homewings administers the design projects (as described in greater detail below) and establishes certain terms for certain packages offered through the Service (including package features, pricing and options), Homewings is not otherwise a party to the design services and any other offline transactions that may take place between Clients and Designers. Homewings has no control over any claims made by Designers about the Products or services they may offer, or the truth or accuracy of the listings created by Designers, the ability of Designers to provide the Products or services as claimed by Designers (even if through the Service) or the ability of Clients to pay for any Products or services offered by Designers. Homewings does not conduct background checks regarding any Users of the Service.

All Users acknowledge and understand that Homewings is not an employer, broker, agent or insurer for any Users of the Service, whether they be Designers or Clients. Homewings's acceptance of a Designer to the Service should not be construed or otherwise deemed an endorsement or promotion of such Designer and its acceptance relied upon the Designer's representation and warranty to Homewings of the accuracy of information submitted about such Designer. As the Service solely provides a platform and tools for Users to communicate with potential transaction partners, any such transactions are made by all Users at each User's own risk.

Account Types and Registration Anyone may browse the public-facing pages of the Service and take a style quiz, but in order to become a Client or Designer, you must create an account (for Clients) or submit a successful application (for Designers).

Client To become a Client, you must provide your post code, phone number, email address, name and a username and password. You may also register by connecting to your social network.

It is the Client’s responsibility to measure their space to ensure that items fit prior to purchasing.

Homewings Shopping Service We remove the hassle of trying to coordinate tens of checkout experiences, furniture orders and vague shipping windows by providing you with a dedicated shopping concierge and all-in-one delivery service. Your personal shopper takes care of ordering your items, and with Homewings SMART, you get all your items delivered in one batch at a time that suits you. It’s the easiest shopping experience around.


Delivery

Your items will be delivered, either through Consolidated SMART deliveries or Multiple Retail deliveries.

After placing your order, your concierge will be in touch to confirm an estimated delivery date and the method of delivery.

Please remember that it's your responsibility to check that the items will fit through doors and staircases in their packaging before you place your order.

To give yourself the best chance of delivery success, please see our helpful measuring guide.

Consolidated SMART deliveries Any products with a SMART label are available through our quick and convenient SMART delivery service. This allows you to have all your items delivered in one batch within an estimated time of 2 to 4 weeks of placing your order at an agreed time. Once all your items have been received we will contact you with a proposed timeslot. We’ll do our best to meet any special requests, but cannot guarantee timings. On the day of delivery, we’ll make sure we take the items to the right room, and our teams will wait for up to 30 mins to allow you to evaluate your purchases. Should you not wish to purchase the items, you can return them with that carrier for no charge on the day of delivery. Should returns be requested at a later date, a charge will be levied (see returns charges).

Please note, other services, such as hanging of prints and mirrors, interior styling, window treatments, such as curtains and blinds, and hanging pendant lighting, are not provided as standard.

If you have any questions about SMART or require assistance with your project, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your dedicated project coordinator at support@homewings.co.uk.

Cancelling a SMART delivery

To keep our service affordable, our carriers plan their delivery routes up to 48 hours in advance. For this reason, a charge will be liable should a delivery be cancelled within 48 hours of delivery or not completed on the day. Please make sure you are able to attend your delivery before booking with us.

Cancellation charges - Order value

• £1,000 | £49

• £1,500 | £69

• £2,000 | £99

• £3,000 | £129

For orders in the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, please contact us for bespoke pricing.

Are there other ways to shop? For the best experience, we recommend Homewings SMART, however you can also shop in the following ways: Any products with a RETAIL or LONG LEAD TIME label are ordered by your Concierge directly from the relevant sellers (delivery times, charges and T&Cs determined by each vendor).

Items with a SELF-SERVICE label would be ordered by you, directly from the vendor.

Items with an ON SALE label are temporarily discounted and can go out of stock or change price.

Items with a MADE TO ORDER label are made to measure and can’t be returned.

Delivery Charges and Lead Times For SMART, the lead time is usually 2 to 3 weeks. Our third party logistics supplier will be in touch with a choice of delivery dates once your final product has arrived in our warehouse, but before then, feel free to contact your concierge for further updates.

For most of the UK, for orders over £1,000 the SMART service is offered for free. For orders below this, there is a charge of £49. There is an additional £50 charge for the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland.

For items delivered outside of the Homewings SMART service, shipping times will vary. Once your orders have been placed, we will provide you with your tracking numbers, expected delivery dates and each vendor’s contact information. Any shipping costs we quote come from our vendors and we are always transparent about this charge.

Storage Costs for consolidated SMART deliveries. After your items have been consolidated, you will normally wish to take delivery as soon as possible. However, should you require us to hold the items for longer, we will store them for free for 30 days. If storage for longer than this be required, a weekly charge of 1% of the retail price will be made.

Additional Services Hanging of prints, mirrors and pendant lighting and interior styling These services are only available in certain locations and are carried out by a recommended Homewings third party contractor. Please contact support@homewings.co.uk for availability and pricing.


Returns Policy

If you’re not happy with any of your items, please email returns@homewings.co.uk with a description and photo of the item, or complete the following returns form.

RETURNS FORM We have a 14 days standard return policy on unwanted items. How do I qualify for free returns?

On the day of delivery, our delivery partners will remove the packaging of the items on request. At this point, you can refuse the items and our partners will remove them free of charge. For this reason, if at all possible, we advise you to be available during the delivery. What happens if I’m not available during the delivery?

If you’re not available to send items back on the day of delivery, or you decide, within 14 days, you wish to return an item, there are the following collection charges -

Up to £49.99 | £5

Up to £149.99 | £10

Up to £249.99 | £20

Up to £399.99 | £29

More than £400 | £44

If the goods have been used and are not in new condition, this may affect your refund and you will be contacted by a member of staff once the goods have returned in our warehouse. If the item is found to be unsuitable while on site, please notify the team to return it.

The item has arrived damaged, but I still wish to keep it Please send us a photo of the item and damage to support@homewings.co.uk. Ideally, this should also be flagged to our delivery partner during delivery. Our team will then review the damage, and if we feel the item arrived with damage, and this damage occured prior to you taking ownership of the goods, we will offer a percentage refund. Alternatively, provided the damage was highlighted within 14 days, we can collect the item, and issue a full refund.
How will I be refunded?

This will happen once the item has been restocked in our warehouse and checked for signs of defects or damage. This might take within 7-10 working days and then we will refund you on your bank account within 10-15 working days.

When will I see my refund in my account? Refunds should be visible 48 hours after our team confirms the refund via email.

Returning an order - over 14 days As we're based online, we understand that sometimes a piece of furniture might not be quite what you imagined. So we give all of our customers 14 days to return any item - even if it's not damaged.

If 14 days have passed since the delivery of your goods, we are unable to process any refunds unless the product is damaged or faulty.

The item has arrived but won’t fit into the room of my choice If the item does not fit in the room of your choice, please ensure you refuse delivery and the carrier can take it away immediately. Alternatively please contact us within 14 days of delivery to organise a collection

My order contains a bespoke or made-to-order item - am I eligible for a return?

Made to order items cannot be returned and a refund cannot be offered.This is because these pieces are made specially for you under your instruction and it is unlikely that we can sell them to another customer at full price, therefore the goods cannot be restocked. Wallpaper and cut by the meter fabric can also not be returned and can not be refunded, this is because these items are ordered upon your request and are classed as special order items. We are unable to return such items to our suppliers unless faulty.


Risk and Ownership

Ownership of the Products will pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

The Products will be your responsibility from the time that you (or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you) take physical possession of the Products.


Voucher Codes

At our discretion we may offer design packages at discounted prices. These promotions are valid from the time that we introduce them to the end date of the promotion. They cannot be used for purchases before the promotion introduction date or after the promotion end date.

In the event that a customer has made a design package purchase and the price of the purchased package is discounted owing to a promotion, the price of the product at the time of purchase shall prevail. We are unable to apply promotion discounts for purchases that have already been made.

Promotions are contingent on availability, we may change the terms of promotions, or withdraw them altogether, at any time, and without prior notice.

Homewings reserves the right, at our absolute discretion, to offer different personalised promotions and it will therefore only be possible for the customer in receipt of the promotion to redeem the discount.

Discounts and credits cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotions.

Unless otherwise stated, we only allow one promotion code to be used per design package order.
