Sales and Refund Terms and Conditions ("Terms")
Effective As Of: November 14, 2023
Thanks for shopping with us at Strawbale.com and Straw Bale Resources LLC (SBR). As with any shopping experience, there are terms and conditions that apply to transactions on Strawbale.com. We’ll be as concise as we can. The main thing to remember is that by making a purchase on Strawbale.com, you agree to the terms set forth below along with SBR’s Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Terms of Use.
These Sales and Refund Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) represent an agreement between you and Straw Bale Resources LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“SBR,” “us” or “we”), and govern your use of any products or services that you purchase from us.
By using making a purchase with us, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms.
Changes To Terms
We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately. Your purchase following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
No Refunds
All sales are final, and we do not offer any money-back guarantees unless otherwise specified by the below Terms. You recognize and agree that you shall not be entitled to a refund for any purchase under any circumstances.
General workshop Participant refund policy
Deposits and tuition are non-refundable. All sales are final. Because organizing these events is a significant undertaking with many moving pieces, and planning, and involves many people, we maintain this policy.
That said, if you are unable to attend the workshop location and date that you originally selected, we will gladly work with you to transfer, or credit, your deposit/tuition towards a future workshop (assuming there is a future workshop.) You must contact us before the start date of your initially scheduled workshop purchase for this credit to be issued. Your tuition credit would be valid for one (1) year from the start date of your original workshop for events led by Timbo and Dainella.
Alternatively, you can transfer your tuition to another person to attend in your place if that is your preference.
We reserve the right to cancel a workshop if need be, although we work hard not to do that!
This is something that we work hard to avoid and is rare in the overall schedule of events. That said, because there are elements of the workshop that are outside of our control (acts of God, COVID, etc.), there is always a slight chance that it could happen. If it were to occur, we would offer you the following options to choose from:
Switch your deposit/tuition to another workshop location in the current year’s schedule.
Transfer, or credit, your deposit/tuition to a location in the following year’s schedule.
Receive a full refund for your deposit/tuition. Cancellation of a workshop is the only situation in which the non-refundable deposit/tuition becomes refundable.
Note: Credits for workshops led by Andrew and The Morrison Group, LLC were extended through his final year of teaching straw bale workshops (ending 12/31/2023.) Straw Bale Resources LLC (Timbo & Dainella) is not financially connected with The Morrison Group LLC (Andrew & Gabriella.)
Online Courses, Programs, and Associated Materials
In addition to the General Workshop Refund Policy, when you purchase an online workshop the following Lifetime Access applies:
Lifetime Access To Learning Center Course
SBR shall maintain a Workshop Learning Center (LC) and associated Courses that may include lessons, forms, worksheets, checklists, and other information. You shall have access to the LC and Course for as long as the LC and Course exists. In the event that we intend to close the LC or Course, we shall provide you with thirty (30) days’ notice via your email on file and the ability to download the resources contained in the LC and Course.
SBR provides various courses, programs, and associated material for sale on this Website. Upon purchase, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our courses, programs, and associated material (collectively the “Courses”) for your own personal or internal business use. Except as otherwise provided, you acknowledge and agree that you have no right to modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit any of the Courses in any manner.
You agree that the Courses you purchase or download may only be used by you for your personal or business use and may not be sold or redistributed without the express written consent from SBR. You further agree that you shall not create any derivative work based upon the Courses and you shall not offer any competing products or services based upon any information contained in the Courses.

Consulting, On-site Training, And Support packages
Our Consulting Services, On-Site Trainings, and Support Packages are non-refundable. All sales are final.
Stock Floor Plan Customers
All sales are final. Returns are not accepted on Plans.
These Plans have been prepared to meet generally accepted professional standards and practices in effect at the time they were created and have been developed without knowledge or reference to a specific site or geographical area. Because local and state building regulations vary widely and are subject to change, providing conformance of the Plans with the requirements of each specific jurisdiction is impossible.
Therefore, these plans are for informational purposes only and may need modifications to meet compliance with local requirements and building site needs. It is the purchasers’ and his/her designer, architect, engineer, and/or builder’s responsibility to know and build with current codes and regulations in the jurisdiction governing the project.
Any use of this information for construction without adaptation to changes and codes, standards, site conditions, site suitability, consultation with a locally licensed architect, engineer, and/or design professional, and other factors is at your sole risk.
Stock Plans License and requirements of use
Upon purchase, SBR grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to use the Plans to build a structure one time, and one time only, and to modify and reproduce the Plans solely to the extent required for purposes of satisfying your specific needs and/or to meet the requirements of specific building codes, ordinances, and regulations applicable to your project. Further, you agree that you may not: (i) reuse the Plans, (ii) transfer, assign, or sublicense the Plans, (iii) sell, or authorize anyone else to sell the Plans.
Finally, you agree to: (a) have the Plans reviewed and approved by a locally licensed professional designer or engineer and comply with all applicable building codes, ordinances, and regulations before commencing construction, and (b) maintain and cause your builder and other contractors involved in construction to maintain sufficient construction liability and other insurance coverages necessary to cover the replacement value of your project and to satisfy your obligations under these Terms.
