Client Payments Disclaimer

Payment Terms & Disclaimer

1. Acceptance of Terms: By engaging our services, you agree to abide by the following payment terms. It is the client's sole responsibility to review, understand, and accept these terms before initiating any project, service, or communication with our team. Failure to adhere to these terms may result in additional fees, delays, or termination of services.

2. Estimates and Invoices: All provided estimates are based on the initial scope of work discussed with the client. Any additional work, materials, or services requested that fall outside the original scope will incur extra charges and will be billed separately. All estimates are valid for 30 days unless otherwise noted.

3. Payment Schedule: Clients are required to follow the agreed-upon payment schedule, including but not limited to deposits, progress payments, and final payments. If payments are not made as scheduled, work may be halted, and any discounts applied to the original estimate will be voided. A delay in payment beyond 7 days will incur a late payment fee of 5% of the total outstanding amount, compounded monthly.

4. Discounts: Any discounts provided in initial estimates or as part of promotions are contingent upon timely payments. If full payment is not received by the due date, all discounts become null and void, and the client will be charged the full rate as per the original, undiscounted estimate.

5. Project Delays Due to Non-Payment: If the client's inability to make payments in a timely manner causes a delay or disruption to the project, the client will be responsible for any additional costs incurred, including but not limited to rescheduling fees, additional labor costs, and extended project management. These costs will be added to the final invoice.

6. Change Orders: Any changes to the original scope of work must be submitted in writing and will be subject to approval. Each change order will incur a mandatory $150 administrative fee. This fee will be reflected on either the revised estimate or final closing invoice. Clients will be required to approve any additional costs or schedule adjustments associated with change orders before work on these changes begins.

7. Materials and Labor Overages: The client acknowledges that any extra materials, specialty finishes, or additional labor required beyond the original estimate will be billed at the current market rate. We will notify the client in advance of any significant changes, but the client is ultimately responsible for covering these additional costs as necessary to complete the project.

8. Client-Provided Materials: If the client chooses to provide materials or services from third parties, we reserve the right to charge additional handling or coordination fees. We are not responsible for delays, damages, or defects resulting from client-provided materials.

9. Final Invoice & Payment: The final invoice, including all charges for labor, materials, additional work, and applicable fees, will be presented upon completion of the project. Clients are required to remit full payment within 7 days of receipt of the final invoice. Failure to pay within this timeframe may result in legal action, lien filings, or further collection efforts.

10. Disputes & Resolution: Any disputes regarding charges, materials, or work must be submitted in writing within 5 business days of receipt of the final invoice. We will review all claims, but disputes do not exempt the client from adhering to the payment schedule. Legal fees or costs incurred from dispute resolution or collection efforts will be the responsibility of the client.

11. Termination of Services: We reserve the right to terminate services at any point due to non-payment, lack of client cooperation, or refusal to comply with project guidelines. Upon termination, the client will be invoiced for all completed work and any costs associated with the cancellation of the project.

12. Governing Law: These payment terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the work is performed. Any legal actions or disputes arising from this agreement shall be brought before the appropriate courts in this jurisdiction.
