Terms of Use

1. Agreeing to these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Kiran Building, a sole proprietorship operating under the trade name "Kiran Building" (“Kiran Building”, “we”). By using kiranbuilding.com, its plans, drawings, 3D views, PDFs or build mode (together, “the service”), you agree to them. If you don’t agree, don’t use the service.

You must be 18 or older and in the United States to use the service. If you use it for a property you don’t own or control, you need the owner’s permission.

2. What the service is, and what it is not

Kiran Building is software that turns the sizes and choices you enter into a conceptual layout, material estimate and assembly guide: a cut list, a shopping list, drawings and step-by-step instructions.

It is not engineering, architecture, a survey or a building plan, and nothing in it is stamped, certified or approved by anyone. We do not give professional advice, and using the service does not create a professional, contractor, consultant or advisory relationship between you and us. We do not sell, ship or install materials, and we do not build anything.

Every plan is generated from what you entered. If a measurement or choice is wrong, the plan will be wrong.

3. Your responsibilities when you build

Building things is dangerous. Power tools cut, dust harms lungs, lumber is heavy, wet concrete burns skin, and finished pieces can tip, fall or collapse if they are built, anchored or loaded other than as described. You agree that you are responsible for:

• confirming every measurement on site before you cut or buy;
• the structural and site decisions, including whether your floor, wall, ground or site is suitable;
• following local codes, zoning, HOA rules, permit requirements and utility-locating rules (call 811 before you dig);
• following the instructions of every tool, product and appliance manufacturer, including appliance clearances;
• reading and acting on every step marked STOP, and every step that says to confirm something with your building department or a licensed professional, before building;
• anchoring tall or tippy pieces as shown before use, and never exceeding the stated loads;
• wearing eye, hearing and breathing protection and keeping children and pets out of the work area.

Site information (setbacks, frost depth, permit thresholds) is shown as “typical” unless it says otherwise, and may not match your town. Confirm it with your building department.

4. Assumption of risk

You understand and accept the risks of building, using, moving and anchoring what you build from a Kiran Building plan, and of relying on any public data the service shows. You choose whether and how to build, and you do so at your own risk.

5. No warranty

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, non-infringement, or compliance with any code or rule. Prices, stock and product names on shopping lists are estimates and change daily. Plans that have not been test-built are drafts.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Kiran Building will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for property damage, lost profits or lost data, arising from or related to the service or anything built with it, even if we were told such damage was possible.

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim related to the service is limited to the amount you paid us for the plan or pack the claim is about in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50 if you paid nothing.

Some states don’t allow some of these limits. Where that is so, they apply only as far as that state’s law permits, and nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

7. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Kiran Building harmless from claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) brought by anyone else that arise from your project, your use of the service, your property or site, or your breach of these terms.

8. Your licence to use plans

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the plans you generate to build for your own home or property, and to print or save them for that purpose.

You may share a link to a design. You may not resell, republish or redistribute the plans, manuals, drawings or PDFs, or use them to offer building or design services to others, without our written permission. The software, drawings, text and the Kiran Building name remain ours.

9. Acceptable use

Don’t misuse the service: no scraping or bulk downloading, no attempts to break or overload it, no use that breaks the law, and no presenting a Kiran Building plan as engineered, approved or professionally designed.

10. Links to stores

Shopping lists link to retailers so you can find items. Prices are checked occasionally and change daily; stock varies by store. Some links may become affiliate links: if you buy through them, the retailer pays Kiran Building a small commission at no cost to you. The retailer we link to is never chosen because it pays a commission. Purchases are between you and the retailer.

11. Corrections and changes

We improve and correct plans. A plan you generated earlier may differ from one generated today; use the latest version. If we find a defect that matters, we will publish the correction and, where we have a way to reach you, tell you.

We may change these terms. The version and date at the top will change, and continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it. If we start selling Build Packs, the purchase terms (including refunds) will be shown before you pay.

12. Disputes

If something goes wrong, email us at hello@kiranbuilding.com first; we’ll try to resolve it informally within 30 days.

If we can’t, and to the extent the law allows, any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the consumer rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. You and we waive any right to a jury trial and to bring or join a class action. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing us within 30 days of first using the service.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

13. General

We may suspend access for misuse. If part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. These terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement about the service. We may assign them to a successor business (for example, a company we form to run Kiran Building) with notice; you may not assign them.
