Warrior Plumbing & Heating Inc.

Terms and Conditions

1. Agreement. These Terms & Conditions, together with the Estimate (including any written modifications or additions) constitute the agreement (the “Agreement”) between Warrior Plumbing & Heating and the person or entity listed on the Estimate, described by name and address, who is requesting the work to be completed and will be responsible for paying for the services (the “Customer”). By accepting the Estimate pursuant to Paragraph 3, Customer acknowledges and agrees to the following Terms & Conditions of Warrior Plumbing & Heating.

2. Estimate/Quote. Warrior Plumbing & Heating will provide Customer a written estimate/quote, which may be modified from time to time (the “Estimate”), defining the specific labor and materials to be provided by Warrior Plumbing & Heating (the “Scope of Services”) at the property identified in the Estimate (the “Premises”) and the cost of those Services (the “Cost”). The Estimate shall include the cost of labor, raw building materials and required permits, to the extent reasonably foreseeable, but shall not include the cost of manufactured items to be purchased directly by the Customer (the “Manufactured Items”).  The Estimate is valid for five (5) days from the date it is given to the Customer.  If the Customer fails to accept the Estimate pursuant to Paragraph 3 within this time, a revised Estimate will be provided and any previous Estimate(s) will be null and void. The Estimate provides Warrior Plumbing & Heating’s estimation of the cost of a project and is not a fixed price.  Customer acknowledges that the Estimate is based on a visual inspection of the Premises and additions or modifications may be necessary due to non-visible conditions of the Premises. Any additions or modifications to the Estimate shall be made in writing.

3. Payment. Acceptance of the Estimate by Customer can be made by making a deposit, via electronic payment, equal to one-third (33.33%) of the Cost through “Invoice2go” or any other acceptable payment method. By accepting the Estimate, the Customer agrees to pay the balance of the Cost, less the initial deposit, to Warrior Plumbing & Heating no later than five (5) days after completion of the Services.  After thirty (30) days, interest on any unpaid balance shall accrue at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.  If the balance is expected to be paid by insurance proceeds as a result of an insurance claim by Customer, Warrior Plumbing & Heating still requires a balance paid in full upon completion of the Services; Warrior Plumbing & Heating does not participate in third-party billing.

(vi) If Customer authorizes, whether orally or in writing, Warrior Plumbing & Heating to order any special parts and/or materials to be used to complete the Services, and later decides not to use those special parts and/or materials, Customer will be charged the full price of the special parts and/or materials, as reflected in the Estimate.

6. Warranties. Warrior Plumbing & Heating warrants that all Services shall be performed in a workmanlike manner. THIS WARRANTY EXPIRES ONE (1) YEAR AFTER COMPLETION, AND IS IN PLACE OF, AND NOT IN ADDITION TO, ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR HABITATION OR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. This warranty shall be void if Customer (1) fails to pay the full Cost; or (2) fails to provide prompt notice of a warranty claim (within thirty (30) days, or, in case of an emergency, as soon as possible) and a reasonable opportunity to correct the problem; or (3) permits any person or company other than Warrior Plumbing & Heating to complete, correct, perform or redo any work identified within the original Scope of Services.  This Warranty does not cover clogged drains, frozen pipes or the repair or replacement of any Manufactured Items.

Where Warrior Plumbing & Heating needs to connect new equipment to Customer’s existing plumbing or heating system, Warrior Plumbing & Heating does not warrant and will not accept liability for the cost of repairing or replacing parts of Customer’s existing system, which subsequently develops faults. In certain situations, Warrior Plumbing & Heating may charge for visits made to the Premises by its engineer if Customer’s system is faulty or has developed a fault after the installation has been conducted. Warrior Plumbing & Heating will not accept liability where Customer’s central heating system does not function properly because Customer’s water supply becomes inadequate or the water pressure becomes invariable.

7. Limitations and Exclusions of Liability. Customer holds harmless Warrior Plumbing & Heating for any damage to furnishings, stored items, vehicles, cabinetry, counters, walls, floors, ceilings, floor coverings, piping, wiring, or any structural member which may become damaged in the course of performing the Services, or due to the failure of any Manufactured Item. Customer shall assume complete responsibility for the protection of all landscaping, trees, shrubs, and bedding plants which Customer wishes to preserve, as they may become damaged during the performance of the Services.

9. Termination. Warrior Plumbing & Heating may, upon written Notice made pursuant to Paragraph 12, terminate the Agreement either for cause, arising from the Customer’s failure or inability to fulfill its obligations pursuant to the Agreement, or alternatively, from Customer’s failure to agree to a change order arising from differing site conditions identified after commencing the Services that make the contemplated Services unpractical or impossible to perform. Customer, upon written Notice made pursuant to Paragraph 12, may terminate the Agreement for any reason prior to completion of the Services. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the Scope of Work, Warrior Plumbing & Heating shall be entitled to compensation for all completed Services, including labor and materials purchased, and for all resulting direct and incidental costs and damages identified in Paragraph 17.
