DADU PLAN LICENSE AGREEMENT

This License Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Waldron Designs, LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("Licensor," "we," "us," or "our"), and the purchaser ("Licensee," "you," or "your") of pre-designed Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit plans ("Plans").

By purchasing and downloading the Plans, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE

1.1 Limited License

Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use the purchased Plans for the construction of one (1) Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit on one (1) property owned or controlled by Licensee.

1.2 Single-Use Only

This license is valid for one structure on one parcel. If you wish to build the same design on multiple properties or multiple times, you must purchase a separate license for each use.

1.3 Permitted Use

You may use the Plans to:

  • Obtain building permits for one ADU

  • Provide copies to contractors, engineers, and consultants involved in your project

  • Make minor, non-structural modifications necessary for site-specific conditions or local code compliance

1.4 Prohibited Uses

You may NOT:

  • Resell, redistribute, share, or transfer the Plans to any third party not directly involved in your construction project

  • Use the Plans for commercial development, speculative building, or any purpose other than constructing one ADU for your own use or rental

  • Modify the structural design without prior written authorization from Licensor

  • Remove or alter any copyright notices, credits, or identifying marks on the Plans

  • Reverse-engineer, reproduce, or create derivative works based on the Plans for use beyond your single licensed project

2. OWNERSHIP AND COPYRIGHT

2.1 Retained Rights

Licensor retains all ownership rights, copyright, and intellectual property rights in and to the Plans. This Agreement grants you only a limited license to use the Plans as specified; it does not transfer ownership or copyright.

2.2 Copyright Notice

All Plans are protected by U.S. copyright law and international treaties. Unauthorized reproduction or distribution may result in civil and criminal penalties.

3. SITE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Buyer Responsibility

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Plans are generic designs intended for typical site conditions in the Pacific Northwest

  • You are solely responsible for ensuring the Plans comply with all applicable local, state, and federal building codes, zoning regulations, and permit requirements

  • Site-specific conditions (soil type, topography, setbacks, utilities, environmental factors) may require modifications to the Plans

  • You must engage licensed professionals (engineers, surveyors, contractors) as required by your jurisdiction

3.2 No Guarantee of Permit Approval

Licensor does not guarantee that the Plans will be approved by your local building department or jurisdiction. Permit approval depends on site-specific factors, local codes, and jurisdictional review processes beyond Licensor's control.

3.3 Site Adaptation Services Available

Licensor offers optional site adaptation and permitting support services for an additional fee. Contact us at hello@waldrondesigns.com for more information.

3.4 Site Feasibility & Service Fees

If Licensee retains Licensor for site adaptation or permitting services, these services are performed in phases. If, during the initial feasibility or zoning review, it is discovered that local jurisdictions or site conditions prohibit the permitting or construction of the structure, the project will be terminated. In this event, the cost of the digital Plans remains non-refundable. Licensee will be billed for all service hours incurred up to the date of discovery, and any remaining, unearned service deposits will be refunded.

4. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

4.1 "AS-IS" Provision

The Plans are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:

  • Warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose

  • Warranties that the Plans will meet your specific site requirements

  • Permit denials, code violations, or compliance issues

  • Any damages, injuries, or losses arising from the construction or use of the structure built from the Plans

4.3 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Licensor's total liability to you for any claims arising from this Agreement or your use of the Plans shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Plans (i.e., $1,000).

7. TERMINATION

7.2 Effect of Termination
