JLB Customer Agreement & Privacy Guidelines
Nature of Our Offerings: We specialize in providing plans and designs in a digital format. Given the intangible nature of these products and the associated risks of unauthorized duplication, we maintain a strict refund policy.
No Refunds After Order Confirmation: Once you’ve confirmed your order with us and we’ve issued an invoice, refunds or returns for credit will not be offered. Our position is anchored in our commitment to U.S. copyright laws, which protects both our intellectual property and our esteemed clients.
Decision to Build: Our responsibility lies in providing you with accurate plans and designs as per your request. If you choose not to execute or build based on these plans, that decision is solely yours. We cannot be held responsible for such choices, and this will not be grounds for a refund.
Order Cancellations: If you need to cancel your order, kindly do so before confirming the invoice. Once an invoice is confirmed, neither refunds nor order cancellations will be possible.
Inquiries and Concerns: For questions about our refund policy or any other aspect of your order, please connect directly with our team. We’re here to offer clarity and support throughout your transaction.
Protecting Intellectual Property: At JLB Designs, our house plans are more than just designs; they are protected pieces of intellectual property. We own the copyrights to all pre-designed floor plans showcased on this website, as well as on any affiliated sites.
Purchase Grants a One-Time License: When you invest in a home plan from JLB Designs, you’re purchasing a one-time license to construct a home based on that specific plan. This means you’re authorized to build one home, on one site, using the design you’ve chosen. Replicating the design across multiple sites requires separate licenses.
Federal Copyright Laws: Our house plans, illustrations, and home designs enjoy protection under federal copyright laws. This legislation safeguards the creative works of architects and home designers. Any reproduction, reuse, or unauthorized sale of our designs is a direct violation of these laws.
Ignorance Is Not a Defense: Whether you’re aware of these copyright regulations or not, violations still incur legal consequences. Claiming unawareness of these laws will not serve as a valid excuse in any legal proceedings.
Zero Tolerance for Infringement: At JLB Designs, we are staunch advocates for the respect of intellectual property. We will not hesitate to initiate legal actions against parties involved in illicit copying, unauthorized distribution, or resale of our designs — be it online or offline.
Let’s Work Together: We urge our valued customers and partners to join us in upholding the sanctity of intellectual property. If you’re unsure about the extent of your rights or have queries about our designs, please reach out to us directly for guidance.
Thank you for acknowledging our efforts and for your continued cooperation.
Our Expertise: At JLB, we take pride in being skilled architectural designers. Please remember that we are not licensed architects.
Designed for Specific Regulations: The house plans showcased on www.jlbarndominiumartists.com were tailored to fit local codes and criteria relevant to their original design location. They might not be directly compatible with regulations in your locality. It remains your duty to cross-check these plans with your local building department.
Finality of Purchase: Purchases, be they stock, custom, or modified plans, are final upon transaction completion. We do not offer refunds or exchanges post-purchase.
Local Requirements & Adjustments:
- Site Plans: Many areas mandate a site layout indicating the building’s positioning.
- Structural Specifics: Some regions have roof load criteria based on regional snowfall. This might necessitate consulting an engineer for details on floor trusses, joists, and beams.
- Utilities: If your location lacks a connection to a sanitary sewer, you might require a septic design by a licensed expert.
- Energy Codes: Abide by regional energy codes. Your builder or online calculators might assist here.
High-Risk Areas: Locations with natural threats (e.g., earthquakes, hurricanes) may require a state-certified structural engineer’s expertise to approve and augment the designs, ensuring they’re safe and compliant.
Professional Stamps & Licenses:
- Standard Plans: Our stock plans do not carry a professional stamp. If needed, you’ll need the plans reviewed and stamped by a state-licensed professional.
- Nevada State Regulation: For Nevada, a licensed Nevada architect must draft construction plans.
Know Your Local Regulations: Before embarking on your building journey, familiarize yourself with local codes. Your building department can offer insights and list out necessary requirements.
Indemnification: By purchasing, you agree to exempt JLB, including our employees and associates, from any claims or losses arising from non-compliance with local regulations or breaches of our mutual agreement.
Seek Expert Guidance: Engage with your local building department, or liaise with professional architects or engineers to ensure your building plans align with local requirements.
Thank You: We’re honored you’ve chosen JLB for your architectural design needs.
