The Purchaser and/or the Builder hereby indemnifies and holds James Hricko Architect LLC, its principals, employees, and agents harmless from any claim, loss, or liability resulting from the failure of the plans to comply with local zoning laws or regulations or for any other breach of this Agreement attributable in whole or in part to Purchaser or its Builder.

WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

We have put substantial care and effort into the creation of the designs in this portfolio. However, since we cannot provide on-site consultation, construction observation and control over actual construction, and because of the great variance in local building requirements, building practices and soil, seismic, weather and other conditions, we make no warranty of any kind, express or implied with respect to the content or use of the house plans, including but not limited to any warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose. The information, plans, and specifications contained in these documents are provided “as is” without warranty, either expressed or implied.

The plans in this portfolio have been prepared to meet or exceed generally accepted standards and practices and have been developed without knowledge of a specific site or geographical area. As such, supplemental to these drawings, it is the Purchaser’s and Builder’s responsibility to follow the material and equipment manufacturer’s published instructions, and to use accepted standards for each building trade. Topographic and subsurface conditions should be verified and foundations adapted accordingly. Prior to starting construction, the builder should check and be responsible for all dimensions and other details, and should review the drawings for compliance with the governing codes for the local area where the house is to be built. All structural, HVAC, and electrical requirements should also be reviewed prior to start of construction and is the responsibility of the Purchaser and Builder. Codes govern over drawings and dimensions govern over scale. The Purchaser should check with the local building official to determine if a professional stamp is required on the drawing to obtain a building permit. It is recommended that a local architect or engineer be retained to review and modify the drawings if necessary to ensure that the plans meet the above requirements. Any use of these construction drawings without regard to local codes, standards, site conditions, and other factors is at the Purchaser’s sole risk. JHA LLC assumes no responsibility for changes made to these drawings by others. The Purchaser agrees to defend and indemnify JHA LLC, its principals, employees, and agents for all claims, costs, losses, or damages resulting from the use of these house plans.

JHA LLC authorizes the use of our drawings on the express condition that you comply with all local building codes, zoning requirements and other applicable laws, regulations and ordinances.
