Terms and Conditions
End Use License Agreement
This End Use License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legally binding agreement between you (“Licensee”) and TinyHouse.com LLC (“Licensor”), an Oregon-based limited liability company (LLC). By downloading or otherwise using the construction drawings and supporting documents, herein referred to collectively as “Plans”, Licensee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Designer terms and conditions.
All purchases for Plans are nonrefundable.
Disclaimer:
Content made available on www.tinyhouseplans.com is for general information purposes only. Although all Plans have been drafted by a team of knowledgeable design experts (Designers) and occasionally undergo reviews and updates, Plans are created for a large range of users from many different countries that all have different laws and requirements for tiny homes. Accordingly, the information contained in the Plans does not constitute architectural advice, nor are they a substitute for architectural advice. Furthermore, any assistance and customer support provided by us does not establish an architect-client relationship. Licensor cannot guarantee the Plans will be compliant with any applicable law in your jurisdiction. Our Plans are intended to provide ideas and inspiration, but you cannot rely on the Plans for your tiny home project — you must seek advice from engineers, licensed building practitioners, and/or architects in your jurisdiction. Before purchasing any Plans it is your sole responsibility to determine the legal requirements and restrictions attached to tiny homes in your jurisdiction and any compliance issues that you might encounter.
These Plans have been developed without knowledge or reference to a specific site or geographical area. Because local and state building regulations vary widely and are subject to change, conformance of the plans with the requirements of each specific jurisdiction is impossible. In addition, the plans may not have been engineered and/or we have not ensured the legitimacy of engineering. Therefore, supplemental to these documents, it is Licensee’s and/or his/her builder’s responsibility to know and build according to and with current codes and regulations in the jurisdiction governing the project and to ensure the structural integrity and safety. Any use of this information without adaptation to changes and codes, standards, site conditions, and other factors is at the Licensee’s sole risk.
Release of Liability:
Licensor and the architect or designer of the plans disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability or fitness of purpose. Licensee agrees that the Licensor and the architect or designers of the plans shall not be liable for direct, incidental, special, consequential, or indirect damages of any kind, including but not limited to, injury, death, loss of anticipated profits, business opportunity, or other economic loss arising out of the use of the Plans. Licensee agrees to defend and indemnify Licensor for all claims, costs, losses or damages resulting from the use of Plans.
Licensee shall verify all dimensions and materials before construction begins. Licensor does not guarantee the availability of any products or materials suggested or specified in the Plans. The Licensor assumes no liability for errors or omissions in these documents and reserves the right to make changes at any time. Licensor assumes no responsibility for any alterations made to the Plans. Any and all use of the Plans is at the Licensee’s own risk.

All changes should be examined by a licensed engineer to ensure that no additional engineering requirements are necessary.

If Commercial Use is desired by Licensee, please contact us at info@tinyhouse.com to discuss the feasibility of a Commercial License.

Licensee shall respect the rights of Licensor at all times in regards to the Plans.
