Floor plans, room arrangements, elevations, and architectural ideas appearing on the Site are presented for information and inspiration unless expressly offered under a separate written license.

They are not construction documents.

Do not rely on an image, article, video, floor-plan discussion, or home tour as a substitute for plans prepared or reviewed by qualified professionals.

You are responsible for confirming structural requirements, measurements, codes, permits, zoning rules, accessibility requirements, safety requirements, and suitability for your property.

15. Advertising

The Site may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense or other advertising networks.

We may receive revenue based on advertisement views, impressions, clicks, or other advertising arrangements.

Advertisements are selected, delivered, and measured partly by third-party advertising providers. The appearance of an advertisement does not necessarily mean that we personally recommend, verify, or endorse the advertiser or its claims.

We may receive a commission, payment, product, service, or other benefit when you click a link, make a purchase, or take another qualifying action.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay.

Material relationships will be disclosed where appropriate.

Additional information may be provided in our Affiliate Disclosure.

  • The amount you paid directly to use the Site during the six months before the event giving rise to the claim; or

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

  • Your violation of applicable law

We may assume control of the defense of a matter subject to indemnification. You agree to cooperate reasonably with that defense.

Provisions that should logically survive termination will remain effective, including provisions relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution.

25. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought in a state court located in Roane County, West Virginia, or an applicable federal court with jurisdiction in West Virginia, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive objections based on inconvenient forum to the extent permitted by law.

The notice should include:

  • Your name
  • Your contact information
  • A description of the dispute
  • The facts supporting your position
  • The resolution you are requesting

The parties will make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally before beginning formal legal proceedings.

This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief when necessary to protect intellectual-property rights, safety, security, or confidential information.

27. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

28. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.

A waiver is effective only when it is expressly made in writing by an authorized representative.

29. Assignment

You may not transfer or assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written permission.

We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations in connection with a sale, merger, reorganization, business transfer, or change in ownership.
