Terms of Service

Intearior is a platform operated by Intearior LLC ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of www.intearior.com and any related services (collectively, the "Platform"). By accessing or using Intearior, you agree to these Terms.

• Intearior is a technology platform that helps people discover and engage independent interior design professionals, including interior designers, decorators, interior architects, kitchen and bath designers, home stagers, space planners, and related furnishing and renovation professionals (collectively, "Studios").
• Intearior does not provide interior design, architectural, engineering, contracting, or construction services.
• Intearior is not a party to any agreement, contract, or project between you and a Studio, and does not supervise any Studio's work.
• Intearior does not decide who you hire. Get Matched results are suggestions based on the preferences you enter; you independently decide which Studios you contact and engage.

We review listing claims and submissions from Studios before marking them verified, and we check certain details where possible. However, users are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence before engaging any Studio. Before you hire, we encourage you to:

• confirm any state or local licence or registration your project requires (requirements for interior designers and contractors vary widely by state);
• request proof of general liability insurance and, where applicable, workers' compensation coverage;
• ask for references and examples of completed projects comparable to yours;
• get a written scope of work, fee structure, and timeline before any money changes hands.

• Studios listed on Intearior must hold any licences or registrations required for their practice and comply with all applicable regulatory and ethical guidelines.
• Studios are responsible for ensuring that all information on their profile — services, service areas, pricing indications, credentials, photos, and business hours — is accurate, and must update any changes within 7 days.
• Studios must own or have permission to use every photograph, project image, and logo they upload.
• Studios may only claim a business they are authorized to represent, and each account may manage one Studio.
• Intearior does not verify ongoing licensing or regulatory compliance after initial acceptance.

• determining which titles they may lawfully use in their jurisdiction (for example, restrictions on "interior architect" or on "registered" or "certified" designations);
• ensuring any required licence numbers or disclosures appear clearly on their profile and in their marketing;
• compliance with FTC endorsement and testimonial guidance in relation to reviews displayed on their profile;
• accurately describing their relationship with Intearior in client and prospect communications;
• maintaining current registrations, licences, and insurance.

Intearior does not verify these matters and makes no representations regarding any Studio's regulatory status, qualifications, or compliance.

• Intearior operates a tiered visibility system. Every accepted Studio receives a free profile page where it can collect and display client reviews. Studios on a premium plan receive enhanced placement and visibility, including priority placement in Get Matched results and in directory listings. Current pricing is disclosed at the time of enrollment.
• Premium Studios are indicated on cards and profiles throughout the browsing experience, and paid prioritization is disclosed within the Get Matched flow.
• Paid placement affects visibility and ordering only. No Studio can pay to modify, suppress, or remove client reviews, and review content and ordering are never influenced by payment tier.
• Users should independently assess all Studios regardless of placement tier or visibility.

• grant Intearior LLC a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, display, distribute, adapt, and otherwise exploit such content in any media in connection with operating the Platform;
• represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to the content, that it is accurate, and that its submission does not violate any third-party rights;
• acknowledge that User Content is non-confidential and non-proprietary;
• acknowledge that Intearior may remove or decline to publish any User Content in its sole discretion, including content that is false, misleading, defamatory, incentivized, submitted by a competitor, or otherwise in violation of these Terms.

Reviews must reflect genuine first-hand experience with the Studio. Intearior is not responsible or liable for the content or accuracy of any User Content, including reviews imported from Google or from a Studio's own website at that Studio's request.

All content on the Platform — including text, software, design, images, data, and the overall look and feel — is owned by Intearior LLC or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The Intearior name, logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Intearior LLC. You may not use them without prior written permission.

Subject to these Terms, you are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Platform solely for its intended purpose. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, or commercially exploit any portion of the Platform without express written permission.

• scrape, harvest, or systematically collect data from the Platform by automated or manual means without express written consent;
• misrepresent your identity, credentials, or affiliation with any person or business;
• post false, misleading, defamatory, incentivized, or fraudulent reviews or content;
• use the Platform to solicit users for competing services or for any unauthorized commercial purpose;

• Intearior does not guarantee any project outcome, budget, or timeline resulting from engaging a listed Studio.
