Memorandum of Understanding
Standard Terms & Conditions Applying to the Services Agreement between vendor and Urban Style Lab (USL)
General
-
USL will provide styling services to the Vendor and Agents based on over 10 years experience in property styling. This experience has been detailed in various public forums and is freely available.
-
When providing this service USL, is styling for the open market.

USL will conduct its business to a high degree of professionalism and aims to ensure an optimum outcome for the Vendor and Agents.

If USL provides a quote based purely on a floor plan, images or verbal descriptions, the quote may be subject to change once the property has been inspected by USL unless otherwise stated.
Property Access

Access to the property should be unencumbered with no extraneous household effects, building or cleaning materials remaining in the property. Should such items remain, USL will professionally relocate the items within the property or at additional cost to the Vendor or Agents, arrange for removal, & or storage of the items.
-
Where USL considers that artwork is required to be used in the styling work then the artwork will either be hung from existing hooks etc or new hooks etc will be installed. It is USL’s preference to use stick-on hooks, however in USL’s experience there are certain elements that prevent this system from working. An example of this may be uneven walls, dampness, humidity etc. At the time where items are being removed from the property, USL will remove any nails that were used & patch any unforeseen damage to wall. USL will not be required to repaint an entire wall.

Once the property has been installed and changes to the installation are subsequently required by the Vendor or Agents then an extra fee may be incurred

Damage includes hair shed by pets, clawing of or stains on furnishings, breakages, damages to furniture & props, missing items etc.
