3. Changes to the Project

You (the customer) can request changes to the project, but this might affect the final price. If we discover unforeseen issues like damaged materials or code violations, the price might increase to cover the repairs. We'll discuss any price adjustments with you before proceeding.

4. Start and Finish Dates

The start date and project duration in the proposal are estimates based on normal working conditions. We can't guarantee completion within that timeframe. We're not responsible for delays caused by events beyond our control, such as bad weather, unexpected construction details, or permitting issues.

5. Payment

You'll pay us in installments as we complete different stages of the project, as outlined in the proposal. We'll determine the final balance due upon completion. Late payments will accrue interest, and returned checks will incur a fee. Credit card payments come with a processing charge. By making your final payment, you waive any claims against us except for those covered in the separate warranty document.

6. About the Parties and Insurance

This contract is between you (the customer) and us (Midwest Exterior).We are a separate entity from any other companies related to BDR that may have provided you with proposals. This contract doesn't affect any agreements you have with those companies. You might have insurance that covers the project, but we can't guarantee coverage or payment from your insurer. If your insurance covers part of the cost, you'll still be responsible for the remaining balance. We (or any subcontractors) can't file claims with your insurance company.

7. Your Responsibilities

You'll need to provide clear access to the work area and allow us to store materials on your property. Keep driveways accessible during work hours, including snow and ice removal. Provide electricity, water, and utilities for the project. Locate underground utilities before any digging begins. Remove or secure any personal belongings like satellite dishes, solar panels, or plants before we start work. You're responsible for any damage to your own property, except for damage caused by our negligence. We won't be responsible for realigning satellite dishes or solar panels. The project might involve using dumpsters, heavy equipment, and construction vehicles on your property. You hold us harmless for any damage caused by these items or debris left behind after completion. We might not always keep gates and doors closed - you hold us harmless from claims arising from this. Any leftover construction materials are our property. You hold us harmless for any pre-existing conditions discovered during the project. We might need to adjust the price if unforeseen problems arise after work begins, such as material or labor cost increases. We can't remove hazardous materials like lead paint or asbestos - work will stop until they're removed. You hold us harmless for damages caused by mold, fungus, or other biological materials. You agree to indemnify us for any legal fees or damages arising from your breach of this contract or your negligent actions.

8. Our Rights

You can't withhold payment or attempt to charge us additional fees without agreement. Failure to pay the full amount after completion is a breach of contract. If you fail to make a payment or violate any terms of this contract, we can stop work and potentially terminate the contract, requiring payment for completed work, additional costs, and anticipated profit on uncompleted work. We can also terminate the contract for any reason, with seven days' written notice, and require payment for completed work.

9. Our Liability

We warrant that the completed project will comply with our separate warranty document. We disclaim any other warranties, expressed or implied, including those related to merchantability, habitability, or fitness for a particular purpose. You waive any claims for special, indirect, or consequential damages, such as delays, lost profits, or equipment downtime. Your only remedy for claims related to the project is under our separate warranty document. All warranties are conditioned upon your full payment for the project. Our maximum liability, along with that of our employees, subcontractors, and consultants, is limited to the lesser of $10,000 or the amount you paid us.

10. Disputes and Resolutions: If there's a disagreement about the project or payment, we (Midwest Exterior) get to choose how to settle it – either arbitration or court. If we choose arbitration, you (Customer) agree that's the only way to resolve it definitively. The arbitration will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana, following the rules set by either the American Arbitration Association (Construction Industry) or the Better Business Bureau (ADR). No matter which method is chosen (arbitration or court), if we win the case, we can recover our costs, including lawyer fees.

11. Contacting Us :If you have any problems or questions, you can reach our customer service team by phone, mail, or email (details provided in the Proposal).

12. Important Legal Stuff: This agreement follows the laws of Indiana. You (Customer) acknowledge reading and understanding these terms, which define the relationship between us Midwest Exterior and you (Customer). You also agree that you haven't relied on any promises or information not explicitly stated here. If any part of this agreement is found to be invalid, the rest of the agreement remains enforceable.
