Terms of Service

Agreement to Terms

By accessing and using the Sequoia Lodges LLC website (sequoialodges.com) and services, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, please do not use our services.

Services Description

Sequoia Lodges LLC provides pre-designed ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) architectural plans and design services for properties in Boston, Massachusetts, and surrounding areas. Our services include:

• Pre-designed ADU plan collections (Studio, 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom)
• BPDA-compliant architectural drawings and documentation
• Permit application support and consultation
• Site-specific modifications and customization services

Use License

Upon purchase, Sequoia Lodges grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the purchased architectural plans for a single project at the specified property location. The plans are licensed for one-time use only unless otherwise specified in writing.

You may not:

• Resell, redistribute, or share the plans with third parties
• Use the plans for multiple projects or properties without additional licensing
• Modify the plans and claim them as your own original work
• Remove copyright notices or proprietary markings from the plans

Permit Guarantee

Sequoia Lodges guarantees that our pre-designed plans meet BPDA (Boston Planning & Development Agency) Article 53 compliance requirements. If your plans are rejected by BPDA due to non-compliance issues, we will revise the plans at no additional cost, provided that:

• The rejection is due to BPDA compliance issues, not site-specific zoning variances
• You have not modified the plans in a way that creates non-compliance
• The property meets all eligibility requirements under Article 53
• You notify us within 90 days of permit rejection

This guarantee does not cover rejections due to site-specific issues, variances, or changes in regulations after plan delivery.

Payment Terms

Payment is required in full before plan delivery. We accept payment through methods specified at the time of purchase. All prices are in USD and are subject to change without notice until an order is confirmed.

Refund Policy

Due to the digital nature of our architectural plans, all sales are final once plans have been delivered. We do not offer refunds except in cases where we fail to deliver the ordered plans as specified. Refund requests must be made within 30 days of purchase and before plan delivery.

Limitation of Liability

Sequoia Lodges LLC provides architectural plans and design services. We are not responsible for:

• Construction costs, delays, or issues arising from the implementation of our plans
• Structural engineering requirements beyond initial review (if included in your package)
• Site-specific conditions that may require additional modifications
• Changes in building codes or regulations after plan delivery
• Zoning variances or special permits required for your specific property

Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid for the specific service in question.

Intellectual Property

All architectural plans, designs, drawings, and related materials provided by Sequoia Lodges LLC are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. All rights remain with Sequoia Lodges LLC unless otherwise explicitly granted in writing.

Professional Liability

Our architectural plans are prepared by licensed architects in the state of Massachusetts. However, you are responsible for ensuring that all plans comply with local building codes, zoning requirements, and any site-specific conditions. We recommend consulting with local building officials and contractors before beginning construction.

Modifications to Plans

Any modifications to the plans may affect BPDA compliance and permit approval. We recommend consulting with us before making significant modifications. We are not responsible for compliance issues arising from unauthorized modifications.

Disclaimer

While we strive for accuracy and compliance, architectural plans are subject to local building codes and regulations that may change. We make no warranties, expressed or implied, regarding the suitability of plans for your specific property beyond BPDA Article 53 compliance as stated in our guarantee.

Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new Terms of Service on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of our services after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
