Delays in the payment of the deposit may result in a corresponding delay in the start date, with no liability incurred by the Company for such delays.

3. Scope of Work
The Company agrees to perform the Work as delineated in the Estimate provided to the Client. This Estimate is hereby incorporated into this Agreement and is an integral part of the contractual obligations of the Parties. The Work shall be executed in accordance with the specifications, drawings, and other documents mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

The total consideration for the Work shall follow as specified in the Estimate. The payment schedule shall be outlined in the Estimate. In the event that payment terms are not explicitly stated in the Estimate, the following standard payment schedule shall apply:

6. Permits and Licenses
In the cases where permitting is required, the Company shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and licenses required to lawfully perform the Work. Unless, the client decides to obtain the permits on its own. This will be specified in the estimate provided. The Company shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and building codes. The Client agrees to provide any necessary assistance and documentation to facilitate the procurement of such permits and licenses. Delays could occur in the absence of paperwork, signatures, or city circumstances that delays approvals of permits. The Company will not be held accountable for these delays. 

7. Change Orders
All changes to the scope of Work must be documented in a Change Order, which shall be signed by both Parties. In the event that the Parties cannot reach an agreement regarding a Change Order, the matter shall be resolved through binding arbitration as detailed in Section 13 of this Agreement.

10. Acts of God
The Company shall not be liable for any delays or damages caused by events outside its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, severe weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event of such delays, the Company shall have the right to extend the completion date by a duration equal to the delay experienced.

11. Lien Rights
The Company, along with any subcontractors or suppliers, shall retain the right to file a lien against the Client’s property for any unpaid amounts due under this Agreement.

The Client shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of written notice of intent to pay the amount due before a lien is established, except in situations where the property is scheduled for sale within thirty (30) days of project completion, in which case the lien may be filed immediately.

Should lien rights become unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Client agrees to compensate the Company for the outstanding amount due, including any legal fees or costs incurred in pursuit of payment.
