Terms of Service
These terms govern our engagement with you. Please read them carefully before working with Gabriella Maria & Co.
Our Services
Gabriella Maria & Co. provides flexible procurement management and operational support services tailored to interior design firms. Our engagements are structured around monthly retainer tiers and may include project procurement coordination, project financials, and studio administration, as outlined in your Letter of Agreement. Specific deliverables and scope are defined at the time of engagement.
Engagement & Agreement
All services begin once a signed Letter of Agreement is in place and any onboarding checklist items have been completed. The Letter of Agreement outlines the services within scope, the start date, and the applicable retainer tier. Any services outside the agreed scope may require a separate agreement or additional fees.
Retainers & Billing
Retainer hours are applied on the 1st of each month and do not roll over. Hours exceeding the retainer are invoiced within the first week of the following month at the applicable overage rate. You will receive an automated invoice due by the 1st of each month for the duration of our agreement. Additional services, such as optional strategy sessions, are billed separately and must be paid prior to the session.
Your Responsibilities
To ensure smooth delivery, you agree to provide timely access to the systems, tools, and information we need to perform our work — including, where applicable, a dedicated email, Houzz Pro, calendar and task management, and storage drive access. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information and approvals you provide, and for any decisions made based on our recommendations.
Confidentiality
We respect the confidentiality of your studio, clients, and projects. Any proprietary information, client details, or business materials you share with us will be kept confidential and used solely to deliver our services. We will not disclose your information except as required by law or as necessary to perform the agreed services.
Intellectual Property
All materials, templates, and processes we develop specifically for your engagement remain the property of Gabriella Maria & Co. You retain full ownership of your designs, client relationships, and any materials you provide to us. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of our proprietary systems or methodologies to you.
Limitation of Liability
Gabriella Maria & Co. provides operational support and guidance based on professional experience. We are not liable for business decisions made by you or your team, nor for the actions of third-party vendors, contractors, or service providers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the fees paid for the month in which the claim arises.
Termination
Either party may terminate the engagement with written notice as specified in your Letter of Agreement. Upon termination, any outstanding fees for services already rendered become immediately due. Prepaid retainer hours are non-refundable except where required by law or as stated in your agreement.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be resolved in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our services after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
