Busy Bee Warranty

Contractor does provide a limited warranty against material defects on all Contractor- and subcontractor-supplied labor and materials used in this project for a period of one year following substantial completion of all work. This warranty covers normal usage only. You must contact the Contractor at the address on page one of this Agreement in writing for warranty service immediately upon discovering an item in need of warranty service. If the matter is urgent, you must also call the Contractor and send written notice of the need for warranty service. Failure to notify the Contractor of the need for warranty service within ten days of discovery of a warranty item may void this warranty. Additionally, Owner’s hiring of others or direct actions by Owner or Owner’s separate contractors to repair a warranty item are not covered by this warranty and will not be reimbursed by Contractor. No warranty is provided by Contractor on any materials furnished by the Owner for installation. No warranty is provided on any existing materials that are moved and/or reinstalled by the Contractor within the dwelling or the property (including any warranty that existing/used materials will not be damaged during the removal and reinstallation process). One year after substantial completion of the project, the Owner’s sole remedy (for materials and labor) on all materials that are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty is strictly with the manufacturer, not with the Contractor. Repair of the following items and related damages of every kind are specifically excluded from Contractor’s warranty: problems caused by lack of Owner maintenance; problems caused by Owner abuse, Owner misuse, vandalism, Owner modification, or alteration; and ordinary wear and tear. Damages resulting from mold, fungus, and other organic pathogens are excluded from this warranty unless caused by the sole and active negligence of contractor as a direct result of a construction defect which caused sudden and significant amounts of water infiltration into a part of the structure. Deviations that arise such as the minor cracking of concrete, stucco, and plaster; minor stress fractures in drywall due to the curing of lumber; warping and deflection of wood; shrinking/cracking of grouts and caulking; fading of paints and finishes exposed to sunlight are all typical (not material) defects in construction, and are strictly excluded from Contractor’s warranty. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES CONTAINED HEREIN ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY EXCLUDES CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL AND SPECIAL DAMAGES AND LIMITS THE DURATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW. SOME STATES RESTRICT LIMITATIONS ON VARIOUS WARRANTIES, AND SO A CONSUMER’S RIGHTS UNDER THIS WARRANTY MAY VARY. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY MAY NOT BE VERBALLY MODIFIED BY ANY PERSON. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE WORK WAS PERFORMED.
