In short
- One purchase covers one business: one company or sole proprietor.
- Use it as often as you like, on all of that business's own projects. Your employees may use it for the business's work.
- Edit it freely and add your logo, prices and wording.
- Give your clients the finished documents, such as a completed proposal, welcome kit or draw statement.
- Don't resell, share, upload or give away the template files, edited or not. Each business needs its own copy, including trade partners and affiliated companies.
- A refund ends the licence. Please delete your copies of the template files after a refund.
- The templates are business documents, not legal, tax or other professional advice.

Full licence terms
Last updated: October 9, 2026
These terms set out what you may and may not do with the digital products you buy from The Builder's Ledger ("we", "us", "our"). The Builder's Ledger is an online store at thebuildersledger.com, run on Shopify and operated by The Builders Ledger, Ontario, Canada. By buying, downloading or using a product, you agree to these terms.
"Products" means the templates, proposal kits, workbooks, spreadsheets, guides, checklists and other digital files we sell, including any updates we provide.
"You" means the business (a single company or sole proprietor) that bought the product. If you buy on behalf of a company, you confirm that you have authority to accept these terms for it.
1. What you are buying
You are buying a licence to use the products, not ownership of them. When you pay, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the products under these terms.
2. What you may do
- Use them in one business. One purchase covers one business: a single company or sole proprietor.
- Use them without limit inside that business. You may use the products internally and on as many of your business's own projects and clients as you like.
- Customize them. You may edit and adapt the products and add your own logo, branding, pricing, terms and wording.
- Give finished documents to your clients. You may give your own clients filled-in or customized documents, such as a completed proposal, welcome kit, estimate, schedule, draw statement or selection sheet, as part of your work for them.
- Let your employees use them. Employees of your business may use the products for your business's work.
- Keep backup copies for your own business use.
3. What you may not do
- No reselling or redistribution. You may not sell, resell, sublicense, rent, share, give away or otherwise distribute the original or editable template files, whether or not you have modified them.
- No sharing outside your business. You may not share the products with other businesses, including independent subcontractors, trade partners, franchisees or affiliated companies, or with friends and colleagues in the trade. Each business needs its own licence.
- No public posting. You may not upload the products, or editable versions of them, to any website, file-sharing service, marketplace, group or forum where others can access them.
- No competing products. You may not include the products, or any substantial part of them, in a product, template pack, course, membership, software or service that you sell or give to others.
- No passing off. You may not claim that you created the original products.
If you're unsure whether something is allowed, email support@thebuildersledger.com before you do it.
4. Ownership
We (or our licensors) keep all ownership, copyright and other intellectual property rights in the products. Your edits and your own content belong to you, but the underlying templates remain ours. Any rights not expressly granted to you in these terms are reserved by us.
5. Not professional advice
The products are general business tools based on practical experience building custom homes and renovations. They are not legal, engineering, architectural, accounting, tax, insurance or other professional advice. Laws, building codes, lien and holdback rules, consumer protection requirements and tax rules vary by province, state and municipality, and they change over time. You are responsible for reviewing and adapting every product for your jurisdiction and situation, and for having a qualified professional review anything you rely on, especially contracts.
6. No warranty
The products are provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises or warranties, express or implied, that the products are error-free, complete, current, suitable for a particular purpose, or compliant with the laws or codes where you work. If a product doesn't meet your expectations, your remedy is our 30-day money-back guarantee (Section 8).
7. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows:
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, including lost profits, lost contracts, project delays, disputes with clients, or claims arising from your use of the products or of documents you create with them.
- Our total liability to you for any claim related to a product is limited to the amount you paid for that product.
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
8. 30-day money-back guarantee
Every digital download comes with a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee.
- How to request a refund: Email support@thebuildersledger.com within 30 days of your purchase date and include your order number.
- How you are refunded: The refund goes to your original payment method and usually arrives within 5 business days, depending on your bank or card provider.
- A refund ends the licence: When you are refunded, your licence for that product ends immediately. You must stop using the product and delete all copies, including editable versions you have customized. Finished documents you delivered to clients before the refund may stay with those clients.
9. Termination
Your licence lasts as long as you follow these terms. If you break them, your licence ends automatically, without notice, and you must stop using the products and delete all copies. We may also take any other steps available to us by law. Sections 4 to 7, 9 and 10 continue to apply after the licence ends.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Any disputes will be handled in the courts of Ontario.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The version in effect when you bought a product applies to that purchase, unless you agree otherwise.
