Terms Apply

Please read these terms carefully before using our services.

Effective Date: February 13, 2026

Welcome to StaxOfHomes (the “Service”), an online platform providing exclusive access to a library of home designs created by Mathew Younger (the “Owner”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

These Terms govern your use of the Service, including all content, designs, floor plans, and materials (collectively, the “Content”) available through the dashboard. The Service is intended solely for verified builders in Australia who have paid for access.

1. Eligibility and Account Registration
  • Verification Requirement: Access to the Service is restricted to licensed builders operating in Australia. To create an account, you must provide proof of your builder’s license or equivalent verification as requested by us. We reserve the right to deny or revoke access if verification is not satisfactory or if we suspect fraudulent activity.

  • Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

  • Age Restriction: You must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to use the Service.

2. Subscription and Payment
  • Subscription Model: Access to the Content is provided on a subscription basis for a term of one (1) year from the date of payment (“Subscription Period”). During the Subscription Period, you may view, download, and use the Content for legitimate building purposes as described below.

  • Payment: You must pay the applicable subscription fee in advance via the payment methods specified on the Service. All fees are non-refundable except as required by Australian law.

  • Renewal: Your subscription will not automatically renew. To continue access after the Subscription Period, you must renew by making a new payment. Failure to renew will result in immediate termination of access, and you must cease all use of the Content.

  • Price Changes: We may change subscription fees at any time, but changes will not apply to your current Subscription Period.

  • Taxes: All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes (e.g., GST), which you are responsible for paying.

3. Intellectual Property Rights
  • Ownership: All Content, including but not limited to home designs, floor plans, architectural drawings, and any derivatives thereof, is the exclusive intellectual property of the Owner and is protected under Australian copyright law (Copyright Act 1968 (Cth)), trademark law, and other applicable intellectual property laws. The Owner retains all rights, title, and interest in the Content, including any modifications or improvements made by users.

  • Limited License: Subject to your compliance with these Terms and during your active Subscription Period, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:

    • View and download the Content for your internal business use.

    • Use the Content to create building plans for your clients’ homes in Australia, provided that each use includes appropriate attribution to the Owner (e.g., “Design by [Your Name or Business Entity]”).

  • Restrictions on Use: You may not:

    • Reproduce, distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize the Content outside of building for your clients.

    • Modify, adapt, or create derivative works from the Content without our prior written consent.

    • Share, upload, or transmit the Content to any third party, including non-subscribers, competitors, or other designers.

    • Use the Content after your Subscription Period expires or is terminated.

    • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source materials from the Content.

    • Claim ownership or authorship of the Content or remove any copyright notices, watermarks, or attributions.

  • Infringement by Non-Members: Any use of the Content by individuals or entities who have not paid for and maintained an active subscription constitutes infringement of the Owner’s intellectual property rights. We reserve the right to pursue all legal remedies, including but not limited to cease-and-desist orders, damages, injunctions, and reporting to relevant authorities such as the Australian Copyright Council or IP Australia.

  • Protection from Other Designers: You agree not to upload, submit, or incorporate any third-party designs, materials, or intellectual property into the Service without our express permission. If you are a designer or have access to other designs, you warrant that your use of the Service does not involve copying, plagiarizing, or infringing upon the Owner’s Content. We may monitor usage and terminate accounts suspected of such activities.

  • Reporting Infringement: If you become aware of any unauthorized use or infringement of the Content, you must notify us immediately. We may offer rewards or incentives for verified reports at our discretion.

4. Prohibited Conduct
  • You agree not to:

    • Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of Australian laws, including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

  • By You: You may cancel your subscription at any time, but no refunds will be issued.

  • Post-Termination Obligations: Upon termination or expiration, you must immediately cease all use of the Content, delete all downloaded copies, and certify destruction if requested. Continued use post-termination is considered willful infringement.

6. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability
  • As-Is Basis: The Service and Content are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Content complies with all building codes, regulations, or standards in your locality—you are responsible for verifying compliance.

  • Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Owner shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service or Content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for your most recent subscription.

  • Indemnification: You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Owner, its affiliates, and agents from any claims, losses, or damages arising from your misuse of the Content, violation of these Terms, or infringement of third-party rights.
