DAF Service Contract · XLA agreement

The whole deal, in writing.

Reading every section is the agreement. Signing your email below triggers a brief in our system; we reply with a costed plan inside one business day. No surprises later. If we ever change a commitment, we re-issue the contract first.

0 of 10 sections read
01.
We furnish rooms. One brief, one Specialist, one signed contract.
Read →

One brief becomes one Specialist becomes one signed contract. No referrals to a partner network. No subcontracted sourcing. The same person reads your brief, drafts your plan, places the orders, and answers the email when something needs fixing.

02.
Real people, named. Every promise in writing.
Read →

Our team is named on the site and on every contract. Every commitment is in writing — no verbal terms, no over-the-phone clarifications that go missing. If a thing isn't in the plan, it isn't in the project.

03.
One business day from brief to a costed plan.
Read →

We respond to every brief in one business day. The first reply is a costed plan, not a 'we received your message' acknowledgment. The plan shows every line: piece, supplier, supplier price, our 20%, lead time, freight, landed total.

04.
Supplier price + 20% flat. Every line shown.
Read →

We take 20% on the supplier price. No commission from the supplier, no rebate hidden in the freight line, no markup pretending to be tax. You can cross-reference any line against the factory's own catalog or invoice. If a number doesn't match, we refund the gap.

05.
This is what your plan will look like — line by line.
Read →

Every project starts with a plan in this exact format. The sample plan is a real DAF project structure, not a marketing diagram. Quotes are itemized, sources are named, lead times are committed, freight is estimated, and the total is the deposit-and-balance you sign.

06.
Every supplier named. Every line verifiable.
Read →

The plan shows the actual workshop name on every line — not 'Asian hardwood supplier' or 'European fabric house'. You can call them. We will introduce you. If we substitute a supplier mid-project, you approve the substitute in writing before we order.

07.
What we won't source — disclosed, not buried.
Read →

We won't source from suppliers we can't verify. We won't claim certifications we don't carry. We won't bury sustainability copy three clicks from the homepage. If a piece on your plan uses a material with a real footprint, the plan says so, and we say so.

08.
5–10 year refresh — the plan doesn't end at delivery.
Read →

Furniture has a lifecycle. We track when your pieces will need refresh, re-upholstery, or replacement, and we reach out before they fail. Lifeware is the 5–10y phase of your project, not a separate subscription.

09.
Every question answered. Honest where it's hard.
Read →

The FAQ answers the questions clients actually ask, including the awkward ones (yes you could do this yourself; yes we make a margin; yes a piece will eventually arrive damaged). When a question is hard, the answer says so before it gives the answer.

10.
Browse pieces. Real workshops, real lead times.
Read →

Every catalog piece names its workshop and its current lead time. The catalog is a sample of what we can source, not an inventory we're sitting on. You can add pieces to a brief from here, or build a brief from scratch — your call.
