If you find that the plan you purchased does not meet your needs, you may exchange it for another plan in our collection within 60 days of the original purchase. Exchanges occur a processing fee of 20% of the total amount of the original order plus the difference in price between the plans (if applicable) and the cost to ship new plans to you reduction/refund will not be paid out if the cost of the new plan is lower than the original purchase.

3. Disclaimer – The designers have put substantial care and effort into the creation of these plans. The designers authorize the use of their plans on the express condition that you strictly comply with all local building codes, zoning requirements and other applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. Because the designers cannot provide on-site consultation, supervision or control over actual construction, and because of the great variance in local building requirements, practices and soil, seismic, weather and other conditions, THE DESIGNERS CANNOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTENT OR USE OF THEIR PRINTS OR VELLUMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
4. IGNORING COPYRIGHT LAWS CAN BE A $1,000,000 MISTAKE! – US copyright laws allow for statutory penalties up to $150,000 per incident for copyright infringement involving any of the copyrighted plans bought from Garrell Associates, Inc.
