Terms and Conditions
A. Introduction
These Terms and Conditions is an understanding between Homevista Decor and Furnishings Private Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and its Customers.
HomeLane is a brand of the Company, which is engaged in the business of providing end-to-end home interior solutions for its Customers.
Customer refers to an individual, organization or entity that purchases goods or services from HomeLane.
B. Price and Payment Terms
The exact price of the Customer project will depend on measurements, scope of work and change in designs / material / finishes. Based on these revisions, the Customer can expect the quote value to rise or drop by approximately 5-10% for woodwork. However, in case of non-standard product selection / customization / additional scope of work, the prices may substantially vary from the initial quote value, depending on the actual site conditions.
Based on the Customer’s initial discussion with the HomeLane representatives, the Customer shall make an initial payment of 10% of quote value for booking the order with HomeLane, subject to terms and conditions mentioned herein, if applicable. Quotations released before First Installment payment shall be valid for two (2) months and quotations released after First Installment payment shall be valid for a period of five (5) months.
The total quote value of the project may have both woodwork and non-woodwork (civil work, Custom carpentry, Appliances, HDS - Home Decor Services etc.) and the payment towards the same shall be as per the clause below.
The Price structure shall have the following Installments, as per the applicable scenario:
First Installment – 10% of the total quote value (woodwork + non-woodwork), paid at the time of order booking.
Second Installment - 10% of the total quote value (woodwork + non-woodwork), which is payable before the Site Masking. The Customer order shall move to the site masking and design finalization stage only after payment of the Second Installment
Third Installment - 30% of the woodwork quote value and 80% of the non-woodwork quote value, which is payable at the time of signing of the Works Contract. The Customer order shall move to the production stage only after payment of the Third Installment
Fourth/Final Installment – Remaining 50% of the woodwork quote value, which is payable as per the due date mentioned in the “Ready to Dispatch” email sent to the Customer.
Note: A non-refundable Convenience fee of 2% (including GST) on payment amount may be levied on certain modes of payment including Credit card /Debit card/Net Banking/ Wallet /Etc.
The name used for order booking should be in line with the KYC of the Customer. No name change possible once order is booked. Disclosing complete names at the time of order booking will help for all legal communications, availing finance options, GST Invoice in case of registered person and processing refund if in case of cancellation, as specified in this terms and conditions.
For booking an order with HomeLane, the Customer’s quote value should include a minimum of INR 1,50,000 of "woodwork". In case of the quote value having woodwork less than INR 1,50,000, the same shall not be accepted.
The initial quote value provided by HomeLane at the time of order booking for services like, plumbing, gas-piping or electrical work would be an estimate. The exact value of the quote will depend on the site conditions.
The fourth/ final installment payment has to be completed before the material dispatch from the factory (and not before installation). HomeLane shall not dispatch the materials, unless the Final Installment is received and approved by HomeLane.
Between First Installment and Third Installment payment stage of the order, brand partnered categories such as appliances, lights and loose furniture etc. are subject to price fluctuation and may not be available due to stock issues from the manufacturer’s end. In such cases, the Customer will have an option to choose the other available products.
We have categorised the work of HomeLane as interior solutions and has been considered as “Works Contract Services of Interior Solutions” (SAC 995476). Place of supply will be considered based on the state where the installation is to be carried out irrespective of bill to state. GST will be collected on each advance payment and GST invoices are raised upon completion of the project.
If a customer wishes to make payments in cash, Homelane can accept cash up to Rs.199,999/- between all the stages of the respective project.
Maximum amount of cash that Homelane accepts without PAN is Rs.49,999/-
Maximum amount of cash that Homelane accepts with PAN is Rs.1,99,999/- and note that, PAN should belong to the customer ONLY and it is mandatory to obtain copy of the PAN from a customer and to be shared with Finance team to approve payments
Orders cannot be split to accommodate additional cash from a customer
If the fourth/final Installment (i.e. the final 50 % of the woodwork quote value) is not paid by the Customer within the time stipulated in the “Ready to dispatch” email sent to the Customer, then the Customer shall be liable to pay a demurrage charge of INR 500 per day, from the second day that the Installment becomes due till such time that the same is paid in full.
The final quote value shall be valid for a period of five (5) months. In case of extension of the quote validity beyond 5 months, then the prices shall vary, as per the then existing pricing.
