Effective date: October 18, 2026
Welcome to Sustainably Offgrid. The website located at https://sustainablyoffgrid.com/ (the “Site”) is operated by Sustainably Offgrid, a business of AMH Design Limited (“Sustainably Offgrid,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Site, including its articles, guides, state and province overviews, checklists, newsletters, downloads, comments and other materials. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.
Sustainably Offgrid is an informational website that publishes content about off-grid living, homesteading, gardening, off-grid homes and cabins, solar and backup power, water systems and related lifestyle topics.
Informational Content Only
Content on Sustainably Offgrid is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not legal, financial, tax, real-estate, engineering, electrical, plumbing, building, medical, veterinary or other professional advice.
Off-grid living involves activities that can be dangerous or regulated, such as installing solar, battery, generator or wind systems; drilling wells; collecting rainwater; installing composting toilets or septic systems; building or modifying structures; using wood stoves; keeping animals; and handling tools, fuels and chemicals. Rules, permits and codes vary by country, state, province, county and municipality, and they change over time.
You are responsible for deciding whether any information, product, method or recommendation on the Site is suitable and lawful for your situation. Before you buy land, build, install a system or change how you live, check the current rules with your local authorities and consult an appropriately qualified and licensed professional, such as a lawyer, surveyor, electrician, plumber, builder or engineer. Always follow manufacturer instructions and applicable safety codes.
Laws, Costs and Figures
Summaries of laws, regulations, tax rules, land prices, costs, energy figures, product specifications and other data are provided for general guidance and may be incomplete, simplified or out of date. Where possible, we point to official sources. Always confirm current details with the relevant authority or provider before you rely on them.
Advertising and Sponsored Content
The Site may display advertising from third-party advertising partners. These partners may use cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies to deliver, measure, limit and personalize advertising, subject to your choices and applicable law.
The Site may also publish sponsored content, product reviews or other compensated material. Where required, we will provide clear disclosures in or near the relevant content.
Affiliate Links
The Site contains affiliate links to products or services, including links to Amazon and other retailers and manufacturers. We may earn a commission or receive other compensation when you click certain links or buy products through links on the Site, at no additional cost to you. Posts that contain affiliate links say so at the top of the article. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
We aim to provide useful editorial content, but compensation may affect which products or services we feature. Third-party products, services, prices, availability, warranties, return policies and other terms are controlled by the relevant third party. Review that third party’s information and policies before you buy or use a product or service.
Paid Products
If we offer paid products, such as digital guides or downloads, payment may be processed by a third-party payment or e-commerce provider. We do not directly store your complete payment-card number or other full payment credentials. Your use of that provider’s services may be subject to its own terms and privacy practices. Prices, payment terms, delivery terms and refund terms for any paid product will be shown on the relevant product or checkout page.
