Plan Removal Request

At our house plan marketplace, we take copyright infringement seriously, ensuring that the intellectual property of the hundreds of talented designers and architects who sell their plans on our platform is protected. We strictly adhere to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other relevant intellectual property laws. If a house plan or design on our site is alleged to be infringing on copyright, we are committed to investigating and taking appropriate action, including removing or disabling access to the material in question.

Upon receiving an infringement notice, we may notify the designer, architect, or administrator of the affected content, giving them the opportunity to issue a counter notification if they believe the claim is invalid. We also document all infringement notices we act upon, sharing them with third parties or making them publicly available as part of our transparency efforts.
