These Terms & Conditions govern your use of this website and set out the general basis on which Imperial Architecture & Decor ("we", "us", "our"), of 1617-Ground Floor, Satya Vihar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, provides architecture, construction, renovation and interior design services. By browsing this website or submitting an enquiry, booking or application, you accept these terms.

1. Scope of our services

We offer architectural design, structural and construction services, renovation and remodelling, and interior and exterior design. The exact scope for any particular engagement — deliverables, drawing sets, site supervision, timelines, exclusions and fees — is defined only in a signed proposal, work order or agreement between you and us.

Nothing on this website, in a brochure, in an email or in a conversation forms a contract on its own. Where anything on this page conflicts with a signed agreement, the signed agreement prevails.

Statutory approvals — building plan sanction, occupancy certificates, utility connections and similar permissions from the development authority, municipal corporation or panchayat — depend on the authority concerned. We prepare and submit drawings and assist with the process, but we cannot guarantee that an approval will be granted or the time it will take.

2. Website content and enquiries

Project images, renders, case studies, areas, timelines and figures on this website are illustrative of past or representative work. Finishes, materials and results vary with site conditions, specifications and budget. Submitting an enquiry, a site-visit request or a newsletter signup does not create any obligation on either side; we may decline any enquiry at our discretion.

You agree to give accurate information in our forms, not to submit content that is unlawful or infringes someone else's rights, and not to attempt to disrupt, scrape or gain unauthorised access to the website.

3. Quotations and estimates are indicative

Any budget figure, rate per square foot, cost estimate or quotation we share is an indicative estimate prepared on the information available at that time. It is not a fixed-price offer unless it expressly says so in writing.

  • Unless stated otherwise, a quotation is valid for 15 days from its date of issue.
  • Quantities are provisional until measured on site; the final bill is based on actual measured work.
  • Estimates assume normal site conditions and clear, unobstructed access. Rock excavation, unstable soil, hidden services, existing structural defects, dewatering and similar site realities are chargeable extras.
  • Prices are subject to change if material or labour rates move, if statutory levies or GST rates change, or if you change the design, specification, finishes or scope after approval.
  • Any variation to approved drawings or specifications will be quoted and must be approved in writing before we carry it out; it may also affect the programme.
  • GST and other applicable statutory taxes are extra unless the quotation states that they are included.

4. Payment terms

Unless the signed agreement or quotation says otherwise:

  • Work begins only after the advance stated in the quotation is received.
  • Further payments fall due at the stages set out in the quotation or agreement, and are payable on presentation of the stage invoice.
  • Invoices are payable within 7 days of the invoice date to the bank account named on the invoice. Please quote the invoice number with every transfer.
  • We may suspend design work, drawing releases or site work on any account that is overdue, and we are not responsible for delays caused by that suspension.
  • Third-party costs — government fees, approval charges, testing, specialist consultants and similar — are payable by you at actuals, in addition to our fees.
  • The advance and mobilisation amounts are non-refundable to the extent of design work, materials procured and site work already carried out at the date of cancellation.

5. Intellectual property in drawings and designs

All concepts, sketches, layouts, working drawings, 3D visualisations, renders, material boards, specifications, bills of quantities and other documents we prepare remain our intellectual property and our copyright, whether or not the project proceeds.

  • On full payment of the fees due for that stage, you receive a non-exclusive licence to use those drawings for the single project and site they were prepared for.
  • They may not be reused for another site or project, resold, or passed to another architect, designer or contractor for reuse, without our written consent.
  • Drawings issued before full payment are for review only and must not be used for construction or for approval submissions.
  • We retain the right to photograph completed work and to use images of the project, and to describe our role in it, in our portfolio, website, social media and award or publication entries. Tell us in writing if your project is confidential and we will respect that.
  • The text, images, layout, logo and code of this website belong to us or to our licensors and may not be copied or reproduced without permission.

6. Your responsibilities as client

  • Provide clear title to the site, an accurate site survey, soil report where required, and any existing drawings or documents in your possession.
  • Give timely decisions and written approvals at each stage; delays in approval move the programme correspondingly.
  • Ensure safe access to the site for our team, consultants and contractors.
  • Confirm that the intended construction complies with the sanctioned plan and applicable building bye-laws; we are not responsible for consequences of unauthorised deviations you instruct.

7. Timelines and delays

Programme dates are estimates made in good faith. We are not liable for delay caused by events outside our reasonable control, including late client decisions or payments, delays in statutory approvals, unavailability or price escalation of materials, labour shortages or strikes, weather, natural events, epidemics, or acts of government.

8. Warranties and third parties

Materials, fittings, appliances and equipment carry only the warranty given by their manufacturer or supplier; we pass those warranties through to you but do not add to them. Workmanship defects notified in writing within the defect liability period stated in your agreement will be rectified by us. Normal wear and tear, misuse, lack of maintenance, damage caused by others and alterations carried out by anyone else are not covered.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • This website is provided "as is". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we are not liable for any loss arising from reliance on general information published on it.
  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, rent, opportunity or data, however caused.
  • Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with an engagement is limited to the total professional fees actually paid to us by you for that engagement, or the amount recoverable under our professional indemnity insurance for that claim, whichever is higher.
  • Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded — including your rights as a consumer under Indian law.

10. Confidentiality and privacy

Each of us will keep the other's commercial and design information confidential and use it only for the project. How we handle the personal information you submit through this website is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement by written notice as provided in the signed agreement. On termination you remain liable for all fees and costs for work performed and commitments made up to the date of termination, and the intellectual property terms in clause 5 continue to apply.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will first be discussed in good faith between the parties, and failing resolution shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

13. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the time you use the site or submit an enquiry is the version that applies. Changes do not affect the terms of an agreement already signed.
