Plan License
Last updated: November 10, 2026
These are our general terms for using our plans. They are not legal advice. If you have a question about your own situation, ask a lawyer where you live.
This Plan License explains what you may and may not do with a 3DSHEDPLANS™ plan after you buy it, or after you download a free preview. It is part of our Terms of Sale and Use. The plans are sold by Netholics Media, LLC (“we”, “us”).
1. You buy a license, not the plan itself
Every plan, free preview, drawing, 3D render, video, cut list and material list is our own work and stays our property. When you pay for a plan, you buy a license to use it. You do not buy the copyright or any other ownership rights.
2. What you may do
Once your order is paid, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:
- download the PDF and keep copies on your own phone, tablet and computers;
- print the plan, in whole or in part, for your own build;
- build the structure in the plan for yourself, on your own property or the property of a family member you are building for;
- show the printed pages to the people who help you build it, such as a friend, a family member or a contractor you hire to build it for you; and
- use, keep and sell the finished structure together with your property, for example when you move house.
3. What you may not do
- resell, rent, sublicense, give away or otherwise pass on the plan or any copy of it;
- share the PDF, or any page, drawing, render, video or list from it, by email, messaging app, cloud folder, file-sharing service, website, marketplace, forum or social network;
- upload the plan or any part of it so that others can download, print or view it;
- copy, trace, redraw or reproduce the plan, except printing it for your own build as allowed above;
- make derivative plans, such as a changed size or a redrawn version, to sell, give away or publish;
- use the plan, its drawings, renders or text to make, sell or promote your own plans, kits or any competing product;
- remove or change any copyright notice, trademark or branding in the files; or
- use the plan, any part of it or any other content from our site to train, fine-tune or test an artificial intelligence or machine learning system.
4. Building to sell needs a written license
The license above covers building for yourself. Building sheds, coops or other structures from our plans as a business, to sell or to build for paying customers as your product line, needs our written permission first. If you would like a commercial license, write to us through the contact form and tell us what you plan to build and how many.
5. Free previews
Free preview PDFs are for your personal look before you buy. The same rules apply: you may keep and print them for yourself, but you may not upload, share, sell or reproduce them.
6. Reviews and links
You may share a link to our site or a plan page, and you may post a photo of the structure you built. For a review, a short quote or a single image of a page is fine when you credit 3DSHEDPLANS™ and link to our site. For anything else, such as a class, a book or a video, ask us first through the contact form.
7. If the license is broken
If you break this license, it ends automatically and you must delete every copy of the plan you have. We may also take any action the law allows, including asking a website to remove copies. See our Copyright and Trademarks page.
8. Your build is your responsibility
Plans are general guidance for building, provided as is, with our 30-day money-back guarantee. You are responsible for safe construction and for following the rules where you live: check your local permit office before you build. Read our Disclaimer and the limitation of liability in our Terms.
