Terms & Conditions of Use

By purchasing, accessing, referencing, or by otherwise using the tiny house plans or any other materials available on this website (the Licensed Product), you agree to these Terms and Conditions of Use. If you do not agree to the terms, do not buy or access the Licensed Product. The provisions below form the essential basis of our agreement between you (The Licensee) and Alek Lisefski (The Licensor).

1. CONDITIONS OF SALE

The purchase of tiny house plans from this website does not constitute a sale of the original documents. Alek Lisefski retains ownership of the Licensed Product and all copies made of the document, regardless of their format.

The Licensed Product contains construction drawings and 3D models (The Plans). Safe use of The Plans assumes general construction knowledge, including but not limited to framing, sheathing, window installation, roofing, electrical and plumbing knowledge. Do not attempt to build from The Plans without adequate construction knowledge and experience.

The Plans are offered as building guidelines and suggestions only. The Plans do not constitute legal construction documents. It is recommended to consult with your local building authority before the construction of any structure. Before beginning construction, always have a licensed architect or structural engineer sign off on your final plans.

The Purchaser or Licensee agrees to comply with all local codes and building regulations. At the time The Plans were created, all efforts were made for full adherence with recognized building codes. However, due to the variation of local and state building codes, and their constant revision and development, absolute conformance to the Licensees locality is impossible. The Licensor authorizes the sale and use of the Licensed Product upon the Licensees obligation and agreement to comply with all applicable code and regulation requirements.

The Plans are designed to satisfy generally accepted professional standards and practices. However, The Plans have been created without any knowledge or reference to the Licensee’s specific site or local codes. Site-specific conditions may include, but are not limited to frost line depth, seismic activity, soil bearing capacity, high wind zones etc. Code requirements may include, but are not limited to, safety requirements, such as, stair width, rise and run, emergency egress windows and routes, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors etc. Material strengths may also vary. It is the responsibility of the Licensee to ensure that the plans meet local codes and site-specific requirements.

The Licensee agrees to check and verify all dimensions and materials before construction. Due to regional variations, The Licensor cannot and does not guarantee the availability of any products or materials suggested or specified in the Licensed Product. The Licensee is solely responsible for any and all modifications to The Plans necessary to accommodate differences in available materials, to satisfy the Licensee’s personal needs, or to meet local building codes of other site-specific requirements.

These documents could include technical or other inaccuracies and errors. The Licensor assumes no liability for errors or omissions in these documents and reserves the right to make changes at any time. Alek Lisefski assumes no responsibility for any alterations made to the Licensed Product, nor does he make any warranties, either expressed or implied, in the use of the Licensed Product. Use of this Licensed Product is at the Licensee’s own risk.

Alek Lisefski and everyone who has been involved in the creation, development, production or delivery of the Licensed Product (Dana Hummel dba Tiny Mountain Homes, Gary Bute dba Tiny House Systems) shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental damages.
