This is the standard paperwork behind every EverLume install — it protects you as much as it protects us. Nothing here changes the price or scope you just reviewed; it's the fine print that makes the warranty, the deposit, and the install date official.
1. Change Orders
Any changes to the Scope of Work shall be made only by written Change Order signed by both parties, describing cost and time adjustments. Contractor is not obligated to perform extra work without a signed Change Order.
2. Schedule and Delays
Estimated dates are provided in good faith. Time is an estimate only. Contractor is not liable for delays due to weather, acts of God, utility delays, supply chain issues, or Customer-caused interruptions.
3. Warranties
Contractor warrants workmanship for a period of 5 years from completion. Manufacturer warranty applies to fixtures and equipment and will be passed through to Customer. This warranty does not cover damage from misuse, vandalism, acts of God, or modifications by others.
4. Insurance and Indemnity
Contractor shall maintain general liability insurance and other coverage as required by the state where the Property is located law while performing work. Contractor agrees to indemnify Customer for Contractor's negligent acts; Customer agrees to indemnify Contractor for Customer's negligence or misuse.
5. Mechanics' Liens
Contractor may record a mechanic's lien for unpaid amounts. Customer may avoid lien by timely paying amounts due. Upon final payment, Contractor will provide a conditional lien release.
6. Late Payment
If payment is not received within 10 calendar days after the invoice due date, unpaid balances shall incur a late charge of 1.5% per month (18% APR) or the maximum permitted by the state where the Property is located law, calculated from the invoice due date. Customer shall pay all collection costs incurred to collect overdue amounts to the extent allowed by law.
7. Payment Terms
50% deposit is due upon signing to schedule the installation date. Remaining 50% is due upon completion of installation. Deposit is non-refundable after 3 business days from signing except under special circumstances at Contractor's sole discretion.
8. Termination
Either party may terminate for material breach if the breach is not cured within 10 days after written notice. Upon termination, Contractor shall be paid for work performed, materials purchased, and demobilization costs.
9. Cleanup and Site Conditions
Contractor will maintain a tidy work area and remove construction debris upon completion. Customer shall provide safe site access, electricity (if needed), and parking as reasonably required.
10. Dispute Resolution
Parties agree to attempt informal resolution first. If unresolved, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration in the county where the work is performed under the state where the Property is located law. Each party pays its own attorney's fees except as otherwise awarded.
11. Cancellation
Customers have the right to cancel with full refunded deposit within 3 business days of signing this contract. Cancellations after 3 business days result in forfeiture of deposit unless special circumstances apply at Contractor's discretion.
12. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of the state where the Property is located. All notices shall be in writing delivered by hand, certified mail, or email with confirmation.
