Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this website, which is operated by 1st Proservice LLC under the NORTHFORM brand (“NORTHFORM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the website or submitting a form, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. Informational Website
The website provides general information about mass timber small house kits, possible configurations, completed-project imagery, indicative pricing, and related services. Website content is for preliminary informational purposes only and is not architectural, engineering, zoning, permitting, legal, tax, or financial advice.
2. No Offer or Construction Contract
Submitting a form, requesting pricing, receiving a preliminary estimate, or communicating with us does not create a construction, purchase, design, engineering, installation, delivery, partnership, agency, or other contract. Any binding obligation must be contained in a separate written agreement signed by authorized parties.
3. Pricing, Specifications, and Availability
Prices shown on the website are starting prices or estimates and may change without notice. Unless a written proposal expressly states otherwise, prices may exclude delivery, taxes, tariffs, site work, surveys, soils or geotechnical work, foundation, utilities, cranes, installation, interior finishes, appliances, permits, plan review, local engineering, code upgrades, and other project-specific costs.
Dimensions, floor areas, materials, finishes, inclusions, images, plans, specifications, lead times, and availability are illustrative and may change due to engineering, code, manufacturing, supply, shipping, design, or site requirements. Images may show options, landscaping, furnishings, finishes, or completed projects that are not included in a kit price.
4. Site, Code, and Permit Responsibility
Project feasibility depends on the property and the requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. Zoning, setbacks, utilities, easements, access, fire code, energy code, structural criteria, snow, wind, seismic, flood, wildfire, environmental, HOA, and other requirements may affect whether and how a model can be built. No website statement guarantees approval, permitting, financing, delivery, installation, or completion at a particular location or by a particular date.
