3. ACCEPTANCE AND FORMATION OF CONTRACT
3.1 These Terms govern all Engagements between Kayjah and the Client. They apply whether the Engagement is initiated in person at the studio, through the Website, by email, telephone, or any other channel.
3.2 A binding Contract is formed between Kayjah and the Client upon the occurrence of any of the following: • The Client accepts a Quotation or Project Proposal in writing, including by email; • The Client pays a Deposit or any sum in part-payment of a Quotation; • The Client clicks the “I Agree” button or checkbox on the digital acceptance page (accessible via QR code, direct link, or the Website); • The Client signs a physical Engagement Form or Order Form at the studio or on-site; or • The Client otherwise unambiguously instructs Kayjah to proceed with any Service or Order.
3.3 Electronic acceptance through the mechanisms in Clause 3.2 constitutes valid and enforceable assent in accordance with the Kenya Information and Communications Act (Cap. 411A) and the Electronic Transactions provisions thereunder, and is equivalent in legal effect to a handwritten signature.
3.4 Where the Client is a company, partnership, or other legal entity, the individual accepting these Terms represents and warrants that they have authority to bind that entity, and acceptance shall be deemed the entity's acceptance.
3.5 Kayjah reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time by posting revised Terms on the Website with an updated effective date. Continued engagement of Kayjah's services after the posting of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the amendment. Clients with active Engagements at the time of amendment will be notified by email of any material changes.

4.1 Kayjah provides the following categories of services, the specific scope of which for any given Engagement is defined in the applicable Project Proposal: • Interior design consultation and concept development; • Space planning and layout optimisation; • 3D visualisation and design presentation; • Material and finish selection and sourcing; • Furniture specification and procurement, including ZBOM Custom Joinery and other third-party sourced items; • Project management and site coordination; • Professional installation of ZBOM Custom Joinery, built-in furniture, and hardware components; and • Such other services as Kayjah may offer from time to time and as agreed in a Project Proposal.
4.2 The Project Proposal constitutes the definitive description of the Services to be delivered for a specific Engagement. Any work, deliverable, or item falling outside the agreed scope requires a written variation order signed by both parties. Kayjah will not commence additional work without written approval, and such additional work will be separately quoted.
4.3 Where Kayjah engages sub-contractors or specialist trades in connection with an Engagement, it shall do so as the Client's agent or on its own account as specified in the Project Proposal. Kayjah shall use reasonable care in the selection of sub-contractors but shall not be liable for their independent acts or omissions beyond what is recoverable from them.
5. QUOTATIONS AND PRICING
5.1 All Quotations are valid for thirty (30) days from the date of issue unless a different validity period is stated in the Quotation. A Quotation that has lapsed may be reissued at Kayjah's discretion and may reflect revised pricing.
5.2 All prices are quoted in Kenya Shillings (KES). Prices are exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) at the applicable rate unless the Quotation expressly states otherwise. VAT will be itemised separately in the invoice.
5.3 Kayjah reserves the right to adjust pricing after issuance of a Quotation but before issuance of an Order Confirmation if: • Material costs, shipping rates, or applicable taxes change significantly between the date of Quotation and the date of Order; or • Exchange rate movements adversely affect the cost of imported goods or materials specified in the Quotation.
5.4 Quotations are based on information provided by the Client at the time of engagement. Where site surveys or further information reveal material differences from the information provided, Kayjah reserves the right to revise its Quotation accordingly with written notice.
6. PAYMENT TERMS
6.1 Payments are structured across project milestones as follows:
Deposit (Stage 1): 50% Due upon Order Confirmation to initiate the project and commence procurement or manufacturing.
Progress Payment (Stage 2): 40% Due upon delivery of materials to site or attainment of the mid-project milestone specified in the Project Proposal.
Final Balance (Stage 3): 10% Due upon project completion and handover, being the date on which Kayjah notifies the Client that the works are substantially complete.
6.2 Payments may be made by bank transfer, M-Pesa, or cheque payable to Kayjah Design Studio. Payment details will be provided in the invoice. Cheque payments are deemed received only upon clearance.
6.3 Overdue amounts will attract interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month, compounding monthly, from the due date until actual payment in full. This right to charge interest is without prejudice to any other remedy available to Kayjah, including suspension of Services.
6.4 Kayjah reserves the right to suspend or discontinue Services where payment is overdue upon written notice to the Client. Kayjah shall not be liable for any loss, delay, or damage arising from such suspension.
