Make your health decisions with your physician.

Images. Unless otherwise stated, the interior photographs on this site are projects belonging to the design practices credited, used as inspiration and as a reference for the level of quality; no claim is made that they are ATTUNE's work. The project delivered to you is designed separately in line with your Human Profile™ and Home Profile™ and will not be identical to the images.

05

Proposal Terms

The proposal process. The proposal tools are there for you to define your project; no prices are shown on the site. When your selections reach us, a meeting is arranged and a written proposal is prepared for you. After the contract and first payment, an on-site survey and measurement take place; the binding price is fixed in writing once the existing structure and services have been assessed and supplier quotations obtained. If the survey departs from the proposal, the client is informed in writing and no work proceeds without their approval.

Validity. Written proposals are valid for the period stated on them (30 days as standard). Changes in exchange rates, list prices of imported products and labour costs are reflected in new proposals.

VAT and taxes. Unless stated otherwise, amounts in written proposals include VAT. Any tax difference arising from a change in legislation is passed on.

Scope. The scope of the proposal does not include the items listed under "Out of scope". Hidden defects that could not be identified during the survey (damage to existing services, structural problems, asbestos, damp or mould, work built contrary to the drawings, and so on) and delays caused by third parties (building management approvals, the municipality, import customs, force majeure) are assessed through a separate variation order; in such cases ATTUNE stops the works and obtains your written approval.

Timeline. Stated durations are estimates based on standard delivery conditions. The binding schedule is set out in the contract; lead times for imported products, permit processes and client-originated changes are added to the timeline.

Payment. The standard payment schedule is set out in the contract (typically: 30% on contract — measurement and survey begin with this payment; 40% on design approval, 25% at manufacture, 5% on handover). Orders are placed in line with payment; in the event of a delay, the programme is pushed back by the same period.

Warranty. A 2-year ATTUNE warranty covers construction workmanship; products and appliances carry the manufacturer's warranty terms. Art. 474 et seq. of the Turkish Code of Obligations and the 5-year defect notification period for buildings are reserved. User error, third-party intervention and ordinary wear are excluded.

Consumer rights. Clients contracting for personal use in their own residence benefit from Law no. 6502 on Consumer Protection; for contracts concluded at business premises, the fourteen-day right of withdrawal does not apply to bespoke production or to products ordered after the survey, pursuant to art. 15 of the Distance Contracts Regulation. These exceptions are also stated separately in the contract.

Marks and methodology. The names ATTUNE, PRIMARY, WELLNESS, WHOLE HOME, Human Profile™ and Home Profile™, together with the associated methodology, question sets, measurement protocols and proposal tools, belong to ATTUNE. They may not be reproduced, derived from or used commercially without written permission.

Design copyright. The concepts, drawings, 3D visuals, details and technical specifications presented to you are the work of ATTUNE under the Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works No. 5846. Upon full payment of the contract sum, you are granted a non-exclusive right to use these designs solely for construction and use in the residence that is the subject of the contract. Applying the designs to another residence, handing them to a third-party contractor or publishing them is subject to ATTUNE's written permission. Should the contract end without payment, all drawings and documents are to be returned.

Mutual confidentiality. ATTUNE keeps all information concerning your residence, your way of living and your project confidential without time limit, and obtains written confidentiality undertakings from its team and subcontractors. In return, ATTUNE's price book, supplier list, detail solutions and contract terms are also confidential; the client does not share this information with other contractors.
