Purpose of the Agreement
Client wishes to hire Vendor to provide services relating to this project as detailed in this Agreement. Vendor has agreed to provide such services according to the terms of this Agreement.
Terms
SERVICES
The contractor shall provide the Client with the following services on a monthly basis (herein known as “Services”
LATE PAYMENT FEES
If Contractor does not receive payment from Client within twenty-four hours of the service being completed, then Client will be charged a late fee of 1.5% of the outstanding amount for each day that Contractor does not receive payment.
For example, if Client owes Contractor $1000 for a service completed on April 1 and fails to pay by April 2, on April 3, Client owes Contractor $1015. On April 4, Client owes Contractor $1030.23. On April 5, Client owes Contractor $1045.68, and so on.
Return Payment Fee
In the event that a payment made by check is returned by the bank for any reason, Client will be responsible for an additional $50 return payment fee. This fee is in place to cover the administrative costs incurred by Vendor due to the bank’s return of the check. The $50 return fee will be added to the total outstanding balance owed by the Client and is due immediately upon notification of the returned payment.
Vendor reserves the right to pursue further action if the returned payment is not promptly resolved, which may include, but is not limited to, additional fees, penalties, or the cessation of Services until payment in full, including the return fee, is received.
Permitted Electrical Jobs
For any electrical job that requires an official electrical permit, the customer must pay the full invoice upon job completion. ELECTRIC ALL PRO is not obligated to wait for the electrical inspection to be completed or to pass the inspection in order to receive payment.
In the event that the job does not pass inspection, ELECTRIC ALL PRO will work with the customer to schedule the necessary corrections for the next available date and time.
For projects requiring two inspection phases, such as a Rough-in and Final inspection, the customer is required to pay 80% of the total invoice after the completion of the Rough-in phase. The remaining 20% is due after the Final inspection. If the customer is not prepared for the Final inspection within 3 months of the Rough-in, the remaining 20% must still be paid. Additionally, a new inspection fee of $240 will be charged to schedule a new Final inspection.
Note on Inspection Failures
Please be aware that failing an inspection does not necessarily indicate poor electrical work. In most cases, it simply means that we may have inadvertently missed applying one of the many rules outlined in the National Electrical Code (NEC). The NEC is a comprehensive guide with numerous regulations, and while we strive to follow all of them, it is not always possible to memorize every rule and condition.
We kindly ask that you remain calm and allow us to schedule the necessary adjustments. We will address the inspector’s requests and ensure the project complies with all requirements during the next available time slot. Please remember, failing an inspection does not equate to poor workmanship; it simply reflects a need to meet specific technical guidelines.
EXTRA SERVICE
Any Extra services incurred by the Contractor while providing the Client with Services will be invoiced to the Client in a timely manner. The client is responsible for paying for Extras the same day it has been requested and delivering any third-party material or products the client wishes the contractor to utilize by the client At the Contractor’s discretion, the Contractor will make reasonable efforts to integrate the Client’s suggested service or products.
FILING A LIEN
