License Agreement

Purchase of a set of house plans from RTA constitutes your agreement with the terms and conditions below.

Errors and Omissions

At RTA we’ve done everything we can to prepare complete, accurate, and error-free home designs. We don’t warrant, however, the accuracy or completeness of our work. It is solely your responsibility to review the design and to determine its suitability for your purposes.

If by chance you find a problem with any of our designs, please contact us – we’ll work with you to help find a solution.

Return Policy

Undamaged, unopened plan sets may be returned for a full refund for a period of 30 days from the date you place your order. All returns are subject to a $50 restocking fee.

Electronic plans are not returnable.

Plans that have been modified in any way are not returnable.

Copyright Notice

Home plans, designs, and drawings are intellectual property and are protected by applicable copyright laws. Purchase of a design from RTA grants you a limited license to use the plans for the construction of one house; you may purchase as many licenses to use the plans as you like.

Modifications maky be made to the plans you purchase. Modification of the plans does not exempt the plans from our copyright. Modified plans may be used to build one house for each license purchased (no limit on the number of licenses).

Plans may not be used by anyone other than the original purchaser or his contractor. Original plans, modified plans, and copies of plans may not be resold or transferred.

Area Calculations

The area of each RTA house plan is measured in gross square footage, with modifications for volume as noted below.

We measure the area at the perimeter of conditioned space from the outside of the sheathing on wood-framed exterior walls. It doesn't matter what the exterior material is - siding, brick, stone, stucco - each plan reflects the size of the house when the framing is complete.

Modifications to that gross total include counting two-story volumes only once, and counting stairs only once. Porches, loggias, pergolas, patios, and other such "unconditioned" spaces are not inclued in the total, or are shown as separate numbers.

Unfinished spaces (lower levels, garages, attics) are not included; finished lower levels and attics (when applicable) are shown separately.
