Terms of use

About these terms

This site is run by Habitat1 Ltd. These terms cover using it. By using the site you accept them, so please read them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

How we look after your details is in the privacy notice.

Buying a pod

Nothing on this site is an offer to sell. When you order a pod, it’s under the written quote and contract we send you, which set out the price, the payments, the delivery and installation, the warranty and your right to cancel. Where they say something different from this site, they win.

Your rights as a consumer under UK law aren’t affected by anything here.

Prices, pictures and specifications

Prices on the site are guide prices. Unless it says otherwise, they don’t include groundworks, delivery or VAT. Your quote, after the survey, is the price you pay.

Photographs, renders and the 3D designer show what a pod can look like. Finishes, colours and furniture are illustrations. We keep improving the pods, so specifications can change; your quote says exactly what yours will have.

We work hard to keep the site right, but if we spot a mistake in a price we’ll tell you before you order.

Planning guidance

The planning pages and the checker explain the rules in England in general terms. They aren’t legal advice, they can’t know everything about your plot, and it’s your council that decides. We look at your own site when we survey it, and tell you then whether anything needs an application.

Your account and messages

Keep your password to yourself, and tell us straight away if you think someone else has used your account. The details you give us need to be accurate. We can suspend an account that’s being misused.

When you send us an enquiry, we email you a private link to the conversation. Anyone with the link can read it, so please don’t share it.

The village

Pods you publish to the village, with their names and your username, are shown to everyone. Don’t publish anything offensive, anything that isn’t yours to use, or anyone’s personal details. We can take any pod down, for any reason, without notice.

By publishing a pod you let us show it on the site and in our own promotion of Habitat1.

Using the site properly

Please don’t try to break into the site or its accounts, send it automated enquiries, copy it wholesale with a program, or use it to do anything unlawful.

Our designs and content

The pod designs, photographs, renders, 3D models and words on this site belong to us or to the people who licensed them to us. You’re welcome to view them, share links to them and save designs for your own use. You can’t copy them to sell or build from.

Our responsibility

We provide this site as it is, and we can’t promise it will always be available or free of faults. We’re not responsible for loss from relying on general information on the site rather than on your quote, or from sites we link to, which we don’t control.

Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn’t allow us to limit.

Changes and the law

We may update these terms. The date at the top says when they last changed, and the version on the site when you use it is the one that applies.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts can hear any dispute. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings there.
