12.3.  YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF THE SITE, INCLUDING ANY PLANS. THE SITE, INCLUDING ANY PLANS, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, YOU AGREE THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE, PRIOR TO USE OF ANY PLANS, THAT SUCH PLANS ARE ACCURATE, SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSES AND COMPLIANT WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS.

 

13.  ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS AND REQUIREMENTS.

13.1.  The Plans are intended to indicate design intent and basic construction detailing. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have obtained the proper professional assistance to provide standard construction details and practices, which will result in a structurally sound and weatherproof finished product. Any use of the Plans, and/or modifications of the Plans, by you, builders or others on your behalf, is done at your own risk.

13.2.  For the Structural, Electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning drawings that are included in the plan set, we recommend that you have a local electrical engineer, mechanical engineer or builder revise or provide such of these drawings as may be required for permits and construction, due to the wide variety of local codes and climatic conditions.

13.3.  Any foundation plan and associated details included in the Plans are intended to serve as a basic guide for a typical foundation system. This typical foundation system is not site- or location-specific. You acknowledge our recommendation that you have a local designer or licensed engineer review the Plans and provide a site-specific foundation design if found necessary.

13.4.  The Plans provide ideas and concepts and are not intended to be complete in all respects and details. Variations in standard sizes (e.g., of windows and doors), and brands, thicknesses, types and uses of different materials can change details. Varying local codes, ordinances, regulations, foundation requirements, and the layout of electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems may also require changes of details.

13.5.  All EDIFIKARCH INC DBA FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION PLANS ’ designs are reliable. However, you should normally anticipate that some changes and adjustments in the project will be required to correct possible errors and omissions in the Plans. Such changes are not indicative of, and should not be construed as, negligence on EDIFIKARCH INC DBA FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION PLANS . the part of the Designer.

13.6.  Names of materials and manufacturers shown on the Plans do not represent an endorsement or recommendation by EDIFIKARCH INC DBA FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION PLANS or Designer. Final selections of materials are the responsibility of you and/or your builder, including proper installation of materials, nailing, gluing, caulking, insulating, flashing, roofing, weatherproofing and many other small items and details not necessarily indicated on the Plans; and EDIFIKARCH INC DBA FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION PLANS and Designer have no control or responsibility with respect to such matters.

13.7.  The Plans do not have an architectural or engineering signature, seal and/or stamp. You agree to consult the local building official who can tell you if a review of the Plans by a licensed designer or engineer is required prior to submission of the Plans for a building permit. Because of the great differences in geography and climate in different areas, each state, county, and municipality has its own building codes, zoning requirements, ordinances, and/or building regulations. The Plans may need to be modified to comply with local requirements. In addition, you may need to obtain permits or inspections from local governments before and in the course of construction. Your right to use the Plans is conditioned on your agreement to, and you affirm that you shall: (i) consult a locally licensed designer or engineer of your choice prior to beginning construction, and (ii) strictly comply with all local building codes, zoning requirements, and other applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and requirements.

13.8.  Architectural and Engineering Seals: With increased concern over energy safety and costs, many cities and states require that an architect or engineer review and "seal" a blueprint prior to construction. We suggest you contact your local authorities on this point.

13.9.  Compliance with Local Codes and Building Regulations: Every state, county and municipality will have its own building regulations, zoning requirements, codes and ordinances. Therefore, your plan may need to be modified to comply with local building requirements. This is particularly true in areas facing seismic events, extreme winds and heavy snow loads. Coastal areas are also states of FL, CA, NY, NJ and NV, which have major restrictions prohibiting builders from using blueprints drawn by out-of-state licensed designers. We authorize the use of our blueprints conditioned on your obligation and agreement to strictly comply with all local building codes, ordinances, regulations and requirements, including permits and inspections at the time of and during construction.

13.10. Plans purchased for homes to be built in certain jurisdictions, such as the State of Nevada, must be redrawn by a locally registered professional; and you agree that, if applicable, you will consult a local building official or legal counsel with respect to such requirements.

13.11. Due to the large number of Plans and price options for those Plans offered by EDIFIKARCH INC DBA FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION PLANS , data entry and other errors inevitably may occur in the text and pricing shown on this Site. EDIFIKARCH INC DBA FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION PLANS reserves the right to correct such errors as they are discovered, and no order and pricing with respect to that order shall be final until confirmed by EDIFIKARCH INC DBA FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION PLANS .

13.12. Some photographs that appear on the Site of houses that have been built may be based on modifications made to the Plans associated with photograph, and, in such case, those modifications are not incorporated into the Plans.
