Terms of Use

By accessing or using Best ADU Plans, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, you should not use the website or its services.

Best ADU Plans is a marketplace and planning resource intended to help users discover accessory dwelling unit plans, compare designs, understand general ADU considerations, and connect with services that may support an ADU project.

Information provided through the website is intended for general informational and planning purposes unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.

A plan displayed, recommended, matched, or otherwise presented by Best ADU Plans is not guaranteed to be permitted or buildable on a particular property.

ADU regulations may vary by state, county, city, zoning district, subdivision, parcel, utility arrangement, private covenant, homeowners association, and other property-specific conditions.

Users are responsible for verifying applicable zoning, setbacks, lot coverage, height limits, utility requirements, parking rules, building codes, permitting requirements, and other restrictions with the appropriate local authorities and qualified professionals.

Features such as Find My ADU, property-fit tools, plan scores, filters, recommendations, and similar features are intended to help organize user preferences and narrow potential options.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, these tools do not constitute a zoning determination, engineering analysis, site plan, architectural approval, permit approval, legal opinion, or professional construction advice.

Plans offered through Best ADU Plans may have been created by independent designers, architects, drafting professionals, plan publishers, or other third parties.

Plan drawings may require modifications, site-specific engineering, structural engineering, energy documentation, foundation design, professional seals, or other changes before they can be submitted for permitting or construction in a particular jurisdiction.

Users are responsible for confirming all local requirements before beginning construction.

Best ADU Plans makes reasonable efforts to present plan dimensions, square footage, room counts, features, and other specifications accurately. However, listing information may contain errors, omissions, differences in measurement methods, or updates supplied by plan designers.

Users should review the complete plan documentation and confirm important dimensions and specifications before purchasing, permitting, or constructing a design.

When online purchasing becomes available, architectural plans and related products may be delivered digitally and may be subject to additional license terms, package descriptions, modification terms, or purchase conditions presented at the time of checkout.

Prices, plan packages, included documents, delivery methods, and availability may change without notice prior to purchase.

Purchasing a plan generally provides a license to use the drawings according to the license terms associated with that plan. Purchasing a plan does not ordinarily transfer ownership of the underlying copyright or intellectual property.

Users may not reproduce, distribute, resell, publish, transfer, or commercially exploit plan drawings except as permitted by the applicable plan license or copyright holder.

Users may request modifications to certain plans. Availability, pricing, turnaround time, and scope of modifications may vary by design and designer.

A modification request is not considered accepted until the applicable scope, pricing, and terms have been confirmed.

Because architectural plans and other digital products can often be accessed or delivered immediately, refund eligibility may be limited after delivery.

Any specific refund, exchange, or cancellation policy applicable to a purchase will be disclosed as part of the applicable purchase process or product terms.

Best ADU Plans may feature or connect users with designers, architects, engineers, builders, contractors, lenders, consultants, or other independent professionals.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, those professionals operate independently. Users are responsible for evaluating, contracting with, and verifying the qualifications, licensing, insurance, pricing, and suitability of any professional they choose to hire.

The website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, platforms, products, or services.

Best ADU Plans is not responsible for the availability, content, privacy practices, terms, accuracy, or performance of third-party services.

You agree not to use Best ADU Plans to:

• Violate applicable laws or regulations.
• Infringe copyrights, trademarks, licenses, or other intellectual property rights.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or data.
• Introduce malware, malicious code, or other harmful technology.
• Scrape, copy, reproduce, or redistribute substantial portions of the website or plan catalog without authorization.
• Interfere with the operation, performance, or security of the website.

The Best ADU Plans website, branding, software, written content, graphics, interface design, organization, and other original platform materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Individual architectural plans, renderings, drawings, and related design materials may be owned by their respective designers, publishers, or licensors.

Best ADU Plans may modify, suspend, discontinue, add, or remove website features at any time. The website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical issues, third-party service interruptions, or other circumstances.

Best ADU Plans and its website are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the extent permitted by law.

Best ADU Plans does not guarantee that information will always be complete, error-free, current, or suitable for a particular property or project.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Best ADU Plans will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the website, reliance on website information, third-party services, plan selection, or property-specific conditions.

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

Building an ADU involves property, financial, legal, design, engineering, permitting, and construction decisions. Users are responsible for obtaining appropriate professional advice and approvals for their individual projects.

Best ADU Plans should be viewed as a plan discovery and project planning resource, not as a substitute for the professionals or governmental authorities responsible for project approval and construction.

These Terms of Use may be updated as Best ADU Plans introduces new marketplace, ecommerce, account, property-intelligence, professional, or other services.

The effective date shown at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.

Questions regarding these Terms of Use may be submitted through the contact methods made available on Best ADU Plans.
