COPYRIGHT
What You Can and Cannot Do...
These days it seems almost everybody has a question
about what can or cannot be done with copyrighted home plans.
At Design Basics, we know U.S. copyright law can sometimes get
complex and confusing, but here are a few of the basic points
of the law you'll want to remember.
Once you've purchased a home plan
from Design Basics, you receive a Design Basics Construction
License.
|
What You Can Do
- Construct the plan as originally designed, or change
it to meet your specific needs. The Construction
License grants to you the right to build the design.
- Build it as many times as you wish without additional
re-use fees.
- Make duplicate construction prints as required for
construction purposes.
What You Cannot Do
- Build our home plans and designs without a Design Basics Construction
License. Our designs are protected by U.S. Federal
Copyright Laws. If you build a Design Basics home design
without
a Construction License, you are breaking the law. Homes
built without a Construction License infringe our Federally
registered design copyright and are punishable in Federal
Court by fines
of up to $100,000 per violation.
- Copy any part of our original designs to create
another design of your own.
- Claim copyright on changes you make to our designs.
- Give a plan to someone else for construction purposes.
- Sell the plan
Protect Your Rights to build, modify and reproduce our home
plans with a Design Basics Construction License. The above points
are provided as general guidelines only. Additional information
is provided with each home plan purchase, or is available upon
request.

We
have several construction documents which provide you the
right to build the plan or the right to use our images
in advertisements in print media and online.
