Terms of Service
Effective Date: July 2026 | Applicable to: houseplans.in
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website houseplans.in operated by Home Plans PDF ("we", "us", "our"). By browsing the site or purchasing a product, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. Service Description
Home Plans PDF provides digital house plan PDF files โ including 2D floor plans, architectural elevations, and associated drawings โ designed by licensed Indian architects. These are ready-made, downloadable digital products. We do not provide:
- Custom architectural design services (unless explicitly offered separately)
- Structural engineering or soil testing services
- Construction supervision or project management
- Municipal approval submission services
Plans are provided "as-is" for reference and construction guidance. Adapting plans for your specific plot, local building codes, or site conditions is your responsibility, typically in consultation with a local architect or civil engineer.
2. Acceptable Use
When you purchase a house plan PDF from Home Plans PDF, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use that plan for a single construction project on a single plot. Specifically:
โ You May
- Use the plan for one construction project on your own plot.
- Share the PDF with your contractor, architect, or civil engineer for the same project.
- Print the plan for construction site use.
- Request minor annotations or adaptations from your local architect.
๐ซ You May Not
- Resell the plan to any third party.
- Republish or post the plan on any website, app, or platform.
- Use the plan for commercial replication (e.g., building multiple units for sale).
- Remove or alter any copyright notices, architect stamps, or watermarks.
- Use the plan to create derivative works for distribution.
Breach of these terms immediately terminates your licence. We reserve the right to pursue legal remedies under the Copyright Act, 1957 and applicable Indian law.

4. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted under Indian law:
