Quonset House™ Plans: Terms & Conditions
These Terms and Conditions are entered into by and between (i) the individual(s) or entities purchasing Clever Moderns Quonset House Plans (“Purchaser”) and (ii) Clever Moderns LLC (“Seller”). These terms and conditions constitute a binding legal contact and shall govern the purchase and use of Clever Moderns Quonset House Plans (the “Plans”) for the construction of one single family residential structure (the “”Unit” or “Project”). Purchaser shall fully read and understand these Terms and Conditions prior to purchasing the Plans. By proceeding with the purchase of the Plans, Purchaser acknowledges that it has fully read and understood these Terms and Conditions. These terms and conditions are a material consideration for the sale of the Plans and Seller would not sell the Plans to Purchaser without these terms and conditions.
These Terms and Conditions shall be effective as of the date of purchase.
In consideration of Seller’s sale of the Plans/Unit to Purchaser, the validity and receipt of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:
No Professional Relationship
This is not an offer of professional architectural services. Purchase of the Plans does not create a professional relationship or architect-client relationship between Purchaser and Seller. Seller is not offering or providing architectural services to Purchaser. Seller is not and shall not be the architect of record or the architect in responsible control of the Plans or any Project built by Purchaser or others hired by Purchaser.
No Guarantee as to Outcome
Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that Seller has no control over the quality of construction materials, the use of the Plans, or the means and methods employed to construct the Project; Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all claims, damages, allegations, demands, liabilities, bodily injury, death, costs, expenses, economic loss, attorney’s fees and/or expert fees arising from or related to any construction defect, design defect, and/or from any adverse result arising from Purchaser’s use of the Plans. Plans are developed for use under “typical” conditions, but Purchaser understands and agrees that all sites and all projects are unique and different, and that local conditions vary in ways that are impossible for Seller to predict. Furthermore, Purchaser understands and agrees that each party purchasing and using the Plans has different skills and abilities, which are impossible to predict or anticipate. Therefore, Seller shall not be held responsible for the outcome of any individual case and makes no guarantees or warranties to Purchaser.
No Substitute for Building Manufacturer’s Guidance
Nothing in these plans shall be construed to contradict the Quonset hut building manufacturer’s guidance as to proper use of their structure, in whole or in part. Seller takes no responsibility for manufacturer’s warranty (express or implied) and makes no claims on behalf of building manufacturers.
Responsibilities of Purchaser/User
Plans are expressly intended to be sold as is and without the seal of a professional engineer or architect. The Plans are deemed by Seller to be complete and buildable under typical conditions, but Plans as sold are NOT intended to convey every conceivable detail of information which might be encountered under any and all possible conditions. A local, professional architect and/or engineer of record should to be retained at Purchaser’s expense to review, revise, and/or seal plans in locations with adverse conditions including but not limited to: high seismic areas such as California and portions of the West Coast, or high wind areas such as Florida and other coastal areas. Sites with sloping topography may require custom foundation design & engineering at Purchaser’s expense. Additionally, state or local building permit regulations may require review of the Plans by a locally licensed professional at Purchaser’s expense as a requirement for building permit issuance. It is up to Purchaser to do any necessary due diligence with respect to local regulations and building permit requirements, as well as full investigation of the suitability of their particular site, before purchasing plans. Seller makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, that the Plans will fit Purchaser’s particular use or meet Purchaser’s individual needs. Seller further makes no representations or warranties that Plans will comply with individual State/County/Municipal regulations, or that Plans will be approved by any local governing agency. All express or implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, or warranties of merchantability are hereby disclaimed and of no effect in this sale of the Plans. All sales are final. Purchaser is responsible for, and Seller has no responsibility for, determining the suitability of the Plans for any particular Project or project site.

Purchaser understands and acknowledges that no set of construction plans can possibly cover every conceivable condition and detail to be encountered under any and all specific conditions in all locations. The use of the Plans is subject to the interpretation of any contractor or builder or other person undertaking construction of the Plans or Project, and Seller cannot anticipate the knowledge or skill level of any particular such person or entity. Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Clever Moderns, LLC, including its owners, members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and suppliers, from any claims, demands, allegations, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, attorneys fees, or expert fees related to or arising from any claim of errors and omissions in connection with the Plans and their use.
