Liability
The Plumber will not be liable to the Customer for any loss, damage, or injury arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services, unless such loss, damage, or injury is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Plumber. The Plumber’s liability for any such loss, damage, or injury will be limited to the amount paid by the Customer for the Services.
Indemnification
The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold the Plumber harmless from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Plumber.
Termination
Either party may terminate these Terms upon verbal notice to the other party. Upon termination, the Plumber will be entitled to payment for all Services provided up to the date of termination.
Cancellation Policies
In the event that a commercial project or contractor cancels any scheduled plumbing services without providing a minimum notice period of 48 hours, the canceling party shall be charged a fee of $250 per van, referred to as the “Cancellation Fee.” This fee compensates the plumbing contractor for incurred costs, and must be paid within 10 business days of receiving the invoice. Failure to remit the fee within the specified timeframe may result in additional late fees and cancellation of the project.
If a remodel or larger project incurs more trips than necessary, there may be a charge of $150 per trip. This charge is typically imposed to cover the additional expenses and inconvenience associated with excessive trips. It encourages efficiency and discourages unnecessary back-and-forth travel, which can lead to delays and increased costs. By implementing this charge, it encourages proper planning and coordination to minimize the number of trips required for a project.
Change Orders
In the event of changes to the scope of work after the initial estimate, the following conditions apply. The Client must submit written requests for changes, which will be reviewed and approved by both parties before any work can commence. Upon approval, the Client will be responsible for a Change Order charge up to 10% of the original estimate, along with the costs directly related to the modified work. The Change Order charge is calculated based on the original estimate, and all additional expenses associated with the change will be clearly documented and subject to the agreed-upon payment terms. The completion timeframe will be adjusted accordingly, and the Contractor is not obligated to proceed until the Change Order is approved in writing.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Services are provided. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Galvanized Piping
Galvanized piping is a type of piping that has a zinc coating to protect it from corrosion. If the work that we are performing involves galvanized piping, or if the system contains galvanized piping somewhere within it, there may be an additional charge for flushing sediment from fixtures. This is because galvanized pipes tend to accumulate sediment over time, which can affect the water flow and pressure in your fixtures. Flushing the sediment is necessary to ensure that your fixtures are working properly.
Gate Valves and Water Mains
Gate valves are used to regulate the flow of water in plumbing systems, and water mains are the pipes that supply water to your home or business. If the gate valve is not functioning properly, it can impact the entire plumbing system. In such cases, the current estimate for the work will become void as the scope of work will be entirely altered. Plumbtech will provide a new estimate and scope of work for customer approval before proceeding. This ensures that the customer is aware of any changes in the work and has given their approval before any further work is done.
Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes are a common problem during the winter months. If a pipe is frozen, it can burst or crack, leading to water damage in your home or business. We do not work on frozen pipes as it may result in damage to the existing plumbing system. However, in the event of an emergency where we must work on a frozen pipe, the customer will assume liability for any additional damage caused. This is because working on frozen pipes carries a risk of damaging the existing plumbing system, and it is important for customers to be aware of this before giving their approval for the work to be done.
Drywall, Sheetrock, Framing, and Electrical
Drywall, sheetrock, framing, and electrical are all components of a building’s infrastructure that are beyond the scope of work performed by our plumbing team. Therefore, we do not assume responsibility for repairing or installing any of these components. If any damage occurs to these components during the course of our work, it is the responsibility of the customer to arrange for their repair or replacement. We always strive to be careful and minimize any potential damage to your property, but it is important for customers to be aware of the limitations of our services.
