Unfortunately in this day and age this page is necessary with respect to protect both you the client and ourselves. 

 

I. Initial consult is typically free. However, in some instances mostly those relating to distance from office and time of appointment there may be a $39 trip fee to cover associated costs, namely fuel. This fee is at the discretion of Contractor.

 

II. Itemized proposals, research of materials (Contractor picking vanities, cabinets, flooring, etc. (instead of client providing). additional revisions, designs, plans, blue-prints etc. will incur a charge for said service depending upon the scope of request. Amount charged is at discretion of Contractor. Typically ranges from $90 to $300 depending on amount of time required to produce requested materials.

 

III. The party or parties signing this proposal acknowledge they are entering a binding contract in which they hold themselves personally responsible for fulfillment of the terms, provisions, and execution of payment of the Accepted Proposal, Contract, Agreement, Bid Memo, and/or Extra Work Orders as described therein.

 

IV. The proposed/scheduled start date of a service is not guaranteed. Numerous variables can affect this date. Most of which are beyond the control of the Contractor. In the event a scheduled project in which a deposit has been made needs to be rescheduled, postponed, delayed due to Contractor’s schedule, Contractor will notify client as soon as possible and reschedule client for next available time slot. Like-wise if a client needs to reschedule a project they are required to give maximum notice possible. clients may be charged a rescheduling fee is such action causes gaps in schedule. Fee may be as much as a week labor per week of gap created.

 

V. Deposits are non-refundable and considered damages upon cancellation of a project.

 

VI. Expected duration is merely an estimation given perfect conditions. Its use is as a reference guide only and in no way is a guarantee of duration or completion time of project.

 

VII. While we do not expect there to be any additional charges beyond the accepted proposal unforeseen circumstances do arise on occasion which are beyond the control of the Contractor. Known or unknown at time of proposal which may be cause for additional costs in order to perform the requested service. Bid Memo for such will be submitted for such.

 

VIII. Any alteration or deviation from the accepted proposals specifications for build, including but not limited to any such alterations of deviation involving additional material and/or labor costs, will be executed by verbal and/or written order for same, verified and accepted by Owner/ Client Representative and said Contractor. In addition, any charge for such alteration or deviation, will be an additional charge added to the “Grand total” price of this agreement.

 

IX. Any discounts forwarded on original proposal will not be forwarded on additional work.

 

X. Labor for this project is based on time not on a per item install or by square footage. We have found that companies whom charge by square footage only are typically grossly over charging. Time allotted for the work described is on the right upper corner of the contract. We do not expect it to take longer. However, given the nature of some projects, especially remodeling, the time frame for completion is merely an estimation. Not a guarantee. In such a case whereas the project requires more time than originally planned it is upon the discretion of the contractor to submit a Bid Memo for additional, non-negotiable, non-refutable amount of time required to complete all aspects of the project described.

 

XI. Refusal to accept added materials / labor needed solely to complete project as described in accepted proposal due to reasons unknown to contractor upon the time proposal was accepted is grounds for breach of this contract and all its previous and post versions and amendments.

 

XII. Labor quotes within this proposal are derived from basis of doing all work. Itemization if any is for informational purposes only. Removal of elements of proposal may be cause to adjust labor. Discounts on labor may not continue at same rate if request to remove originally proposed items is granted.

 

XIII. LABOR RATE: All labor is billed at $120per hour unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

 

XIV. LATE FEES: All payments are expected to be made within agreed upon terms. Unless Contractor agrees to alternative payment schedule prior to the date due. It is the responsibility of the client to adhere to the agreed upon payment schedule that was provided upon contract acceptance. A late payment fee of $50 will be charged to all late payments. An additional fee of $5 per day will be charged beginning on the second day a payment is late and is in addition to the first day late fee of $50. The $5 per day late fee will continue indefinitely until balance owed is paid in full.

 

XV. FAILURE TO PAY: Client also acknowledges that nonpayment for services rendered will result in collection actions not excluding property liens, garnishments, and pursuance of both punitive and compensatory damages.

 

XVI. Contractor’s “employees” are legally categorized as sub-contractors. They are issued form 1099 and Contractor is solely responsible for their actions, work, and compensation. Contractor agrees to carry ongoing General Liability Insurance and possess a valid Workers Compensation Certificate. Both of which are posted in the Contractor trailer under Federal wages poster.

 

XVII. Breach of Contract: All work will cease, and all scheduled labor payments will be due immediately. In addition, all loose materials will be returned by Contractor and proceeds kept by Contractor as damages.

Items which may be cause for warranty repair are based solely under Contractor’s discretion as to whether the issue at hand is due to Contractor craftsmanship or error, which will be covered. Any other reason not limited to normal use, including material failure, miss-use, abuse, neglect, etc. are not covered under any warranty provided by A2-QHI. If repairs are to be made, this limited warranty only covers the labor that would be charged for such repair. The Client is responsible for ANY & ALL additional material costs if any. If original labor was discounted the difference for repair hours based on $90 p/labor hr. will be charged to client. Contractor’s discretion and decision in these matters is accepted as expert, and the Client hereby waives holding A2-QHI or its affiliate from any liability for fulfillment or non-fulfillment of any warranty stated or implied.
