Terms & conditions

Last updated 30 August 2026

These terms and conditions (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of www.offsite.camp (this "Site"), operated by Offsite Camp, Inc. ("Offsite," "we," "us"), a company in the State of New York. By accessing or using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

Our software products are governed by their own terms and are not covered here. See aldo.offsite.camp.

1. Who we are, and what we are not

Offsite is a design and development studio. Offsite is not a licensed architecture, engineering, surveying, appraisal, or law firm. Where a project requires a stamped or sealed drawing, a survey, an appraisal or legal advice, that work is performed by an appropriately licensed professional engaged for the purpose.

Nothing on this Site creates a professional, fiduciary, agency or client relationship between you and Offsite. Such a relationship arises only under a separate written agreement signed by both parties.

2. The Site is informational only

This Site is a portfolio and a publication. Everything on it — including writing about zoning, permitting, construction methods, timelines and cost — is general information published for planning purposes only. It is not architectural, engineering, surveying, appraisal, legal, tax, financial or investment advice, and it is not a zoning determination, code interpretation, estimate, bid, quotation or offer.

Zoning codes and building codes are amended, parcels carry conditions that public records do not show, and prices move. You are solely responsible for independently verifying any information on this Site with the relevant municipality and with qualified licensed professionals before making any purchase, design, permitting, financing or construction decision. Any reliance you place on this Site is at your own risk.

3. No warranty as to content

We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, currency or fitness for any purpose of anything on the Site. Some content derives from third-party and public-agency sources over which we have no control. Content may be changed or removed at any time without notice.

4. Intellectual property

The Site and its contents — including text, photographs, drawings, designs, layouts, data compilations, software and the Offsite name and marks — are owned by Offsite or used under licence, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to view the Site for your own personal or internal business use.

You may quote briefly with attribution and a link. You may not otherwise reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, sublicense or create derivative works from the Site or its contents without our prior written permission.

Publication of a design on this Site is not a licence to build it. Photographs, renderings and drawings of our projects are shown as a record of our work. No right to construct, adapt or reproduce any design shown here is granted by these Terms.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • scrape, crawl beyond ordinary search-engine indexing, bulk-download, or systematically extract or harvest content or data from the Site, whether manually or by automated means;
  • use the Site or its contents to build, train or improve a competing product, dataset, model or service;
  • interfere with or attempt to compromise the integrity, security or availability of the Site;
  • use the Site to transmit unlawful, infringing, defamatory or malicious material, or to send unsolicited commercial messages; or
  • use the Site in violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

6. Submissions

You retain ownership of the messages, briefs and applications you send us. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce and use them as necessary to read and respond to them and to keep ordinary business records.

Please do not send confidential or proprietary material through this Site. Submissions made through the Site are not received in confidence and do not create any obligation of confidentiality on our part unless we have signed a separate agreement with you. You represent that you have the right to send us whatever you submit, and that it is accurate and lawful.

7. Third-party links

The Site links to websites we do not control. We provide those links for convenience only. We do not endorse and are not responsible for their content, products, policies or practices, and your use of them is subject to their terms.

8. Availability

We may change, suspend, limit or discontinue the Site or any part of it at any time, without notice and without liability. We do not warrant that the Site will be available uninterrupted or error-free.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ON IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OFFSITE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OFFSITE AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR ANY DECISION MADE IN RELIANCE ON IT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Offsite and its officers, directors, employees, contractors and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Site, your submissions, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

12. Dispute resolution, arbitration and class-action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO BRING A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A DISPUTE HEARD BY A JURY.

Talk to us first. Before beginning an arbitration, you agree to describe the dispute in writing to brian@offsite.camp and to give us thirty (30) days to resolve it informally. Most things can be settled this way, and we would rather settle them this way.

Binding individual arbitration. Except as set out below, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules then in effect. The arbitration will take place in New York County, New York, except that you may elect to proceed by telephone, video or written submissions where the applicable rules allow. The arbitrator's decision is final, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

What is excluded. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration if it qualifies. Either party may also go to court to seek an injunction or other equitable relief to protect intellectual property rights, or to stop unauthorised access to, scraping of, or other misuse of the Site.

WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIAL. DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU AND OFFSITE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

If the class waiver is not enforceable. If the waiver in the paragraph above is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim — and only that claim — will be severed from the arbitration and heard in court under Section 13. The rest of this Section 12 remains in effect for all other claims.

Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this Section 12 by emailing brian@offsite.camp within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms, and we will not treat you differently for doing it.

This Section 12 survives termination of these Terms.

13. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 12, you agree that the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site that is not resolved by arbitration, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. The revised version takes effect when posted here, with the date at the top updated. Your continued use of the Site after that constitutes acceptance.

15. General

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the privacy policy, are the entire agreement between you and Offsite regarding the Site.
