Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 12 November 2026
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before booking a service with Jason Design Journal. By booking, you agree to them.
What we provide
Jason Design Journal provides spatial layout advice for homes. We look at how your home is arranged and used: the position of rooms, circulation, furniture layout, light and how spaces connect.
Each tier includes the following:
Single Room (up to 28 m² / 300 sq ft): a video call and your plan marked up with suggested changes.
Studio / 1 Bed (up to 60 m² / 646 sq ft) and 2 to 3 Bed (60 to 110 m² / 646 to 1,184 sq ft): a video call, one redesigned layout as a PDF, and one round of revisions.
4 Bed and above, or over 110 m² / 1,184 sq ft: quoted individually. The scope and fee are confirmed in writing before any payment.
What we DO NOT provide
All layouts are conceptual. They are NOT construction drawings and must NOT be built from without further professional advice. Our service DOES NOT INCLUDE, and our advice must NOT be relied on for:
Building Regulations compliance, including fire safety, means of escape, ventilation and accessibility
Structural assessment, including whether walls are load bearing or can be removed
Drainage, plumbing, soil and waste routes, or moving kitchens, bathrooms and WCs
Heating, gas, electrics and other mechanical and electrical services
Planning permission, permitted development, listed building or conservation area consent
Party wall matters, lease restrictions, or landlord, freeholder or management company consent
Cost estimates or construction feasibility
Measured surveys
Before carrying out any work, you should take advice from appropriately qualified professionals, such as a structural engineer, building control, a plumber or drainage engineer, and your local planning authority. You confirm that you understand this when you book.
Clients outside the UK
Our architect is registered in the UK only. For homes outside the UK, local building codes, planning rules, lease arrangements and construction practices are NOT INCLUDED, and layouts are provided as design ideas only. Please check any proposal with a locally registered professional before proceeding.
Choosing your tier
Please book the tier that matches your number of bedrooms or your floor area, whichever is higher. If the plans you send show a different tier, we will invoice you for the difference or refund it, before any work starts.
Sending information
Please send your floor plan, photos and answers to the booking questions at least 72 hours before your call. Our advice is based on the information you provide. We rely on your plans and dimensions and do not check them on site. If information is incomplete or inaccurate, our advice may be limited accordingly, though we will always do our best to make it work.
The video call
Calls take place on Google Meet. If you would prefer another platform, please email hello@jasondesignjournal.com before your call. The length shown for each tier is the maximum, and a call may finish earlier. If you are more than 15 minutes late without letting us know, the booking is treated as a no show.
Turnaround
We aim to deliver your layout PDF within 7 working days of the call, and any revision within 5 working days of receiving your comments. These are targets, not guarantees, and we will let you know if there is any delay.
Revisions
One round of revisions is included in the Studio / 1 Bed and 2 to 3 Bed tiers. Please request it within 14 days of receiving your layout. A revision means adjustments to the agreed layout. A new layout, a new brief or further rounds are quoted separately.
Deliverables
Layouts are supplied as PDF only. We do not supply CAD or editable files, or printed copies. Dimensions are approximate and must be checked on site.
Styling add on
Where styling is included, furniture and product suggestions are examples only. We cannot guarantee their price, availability or fit, and we have no affiliation with any supplier.
Who we work with
Our standard tiers are for homeowners and tenants booking for their own home. Landlords, developers and other businesses can contact us for a quote, and different terms may apply.

Prices and currency
Prices are in GBP (Great British Pounds). If you pay in another currency, your bank or payment provider will convert the amount at its own rate. The price shown when you book is the price you pay.
Payment
Payment is taken in full when you book, through our secure booking system. Your booking is confirmed once payment is complete.
Booking times
Appointment times are shown in your local time zone. If you book the wrong time by mistake, email us as soon as possible and we will do our best to find a more suitable slot.
Rescheduling
You can reschedule free of charge up to 48 hours before your call, by email or through your booking confirmation. Within 48 hours, we will allow one reschedule at our discretion. Any further change is treated as a cancellation.
Your right to cancel
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel within 14 days of booking, without giving a reason. The 14 days start the day after you book.
When you book, you ask us to start the service within those 14 days. This means:
If you cancel before your call, you receive a full refund.
If you cancel after your call but before your layout is delivered, you receive a 50% refund, reflecting the work already done.
Once your layout has been delivered, the service is complete and you can no longer cancel.
To cancel, email hello@jasondesignjournal.com or use the model cancellation form below. We will refund you within 14 days of receiving your cancellation, using the same payment method.
Cancellations after 14 days
If your call is more than 14 days after booking:
More than 48 hours before your call: full refund.
Within 48 hours of your call, or a no show: no refund, as the time has been reserved for you.
After your call: refunds follow the same terms as above.
If an emergency arises, please contact us. We will consider the circumstances and try to find a fair solution.
If we need to cancel
If we need to cancel or move your call, for example due to illness, we will offer you a new time or a full refund. We have no further liability beyond this.
Technical problems
If the call is interrupted by technical problems on either side, we will rebook the remaining time at no extra cost.
Recording
You may record the call for your own personal use. We may record calls for our own notes only, and will tell you at the start if we do. Recordings are never published.
Social media and client privacy
We make design content for YouTube and social media. We will NEVER publish, share or feature your personal information, photos, floor plans, home or project without your prior written permission. If we would like to feature your project, we will ask you first and explain how it will be used. You are free to say no, and this will not affect your service. If you agree, you can withdraw permission for future use at any time.
Confidentiality
We treat the plans, photos and information you send as confidential. We only use them to provide your service, unless you give written permission otherwise.
Conduct
We may end a call if behaviour becomes abusive or threatening. In that case, no refund is due.
Age
You must be 18 or over to book.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with any part of our service, please email hello@jasondesignjournal.com. We will reply within 5 working days and aim to resolve your complaint within 28 days.
