Customer shall identify boundary lines and Customer shall be solely responsible for obtaining any and all necessary zoning approvals and variances before commencement of work by Contractor. Contractor shall comply with all local requirements for building permits, inspections, and zoning. All surplus material shall remain the sole property of Contractor. During work, Contractor may use Customer’s utilities and all charges shall be Customer’s responsibility. If Contractor is unable to complete the work for any reason, Contractor may assign its obligations hereunder to a third-party of its choice. All rights, remedies and privileges of Contractor hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by its assignees. Customer and each co-signer hereby waive as against any assignee of Contractor, all claims and defenses relating to quality of work or product, whether now or hereafter existing of Customer against Contractor, except claims and defenses existing during the terms of any warranties hereunder. Customer agrees to execute all other documents necessary for Contractor to carry out the terms of the GCA and/or comply with all applicable laws. Contractor may make minor variations in work or substitute material of equal or better quality without consent of Customer.

Authority to Bind / Joint and Several AgreementCustomer(s) by their signature on the GCA certify that they have full and complete authority to bind Customer to the GCA. Customer agrees that upon acceptance of the GCA by Contractor, each of Customer shall be jointly and severally liable and that each is the agent of the other Customers for the purpose of binding each and all Customer, for all purposes including specifications, changes, work order changes, or Additional Work or adjustments to the GCA.

Waiver Failure of Contractor to enforce any of the provisions of the GCA shall not waive such provisions or the right of Contractor to thereafter enforce such provisions. Any consent or waiver of compliance shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the Parties but shall not be deemed to extend beyond the particular subject matter thereof. All of Contractor’s remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive but shall be in addition to all other remedies available in equity or at law.

Labor and Manufacture Warranties This Section shall be read in concert with Section 21 of the GCA, Contractor offers a limited labor warranty for workmanship. A copy of such limited labor warranty is available upon request. Additionally, this warranty is not transferable or assignable unless agreed to in writing by the Parties. Contractor agrees to transfer any applicable manufacturer warranties to Customer upon completion of the general contracting services. Customer will be supplied with all warranty information from the manufacturer upon request. Any warranties offered by Contractor or manufacturer shall not become effective until Contractor is paid, in full, pursuant to the GCA.

The GCA shall not bind Contractor unless accepted by Contractor at its corporate headquarters, and if Contractor declines such acceptance for any reason, all deposit monies paid shall be refunded to Customer in full, and Contractor shall have no further responsibility or liability hereunder. No work will be done, or material furnished except as specified herein or otherwise agreed to in writing and signed by the Parties.

Contractor may freely assign all rights and obligations under the GCA. The GCA shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of Contractor’s respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns

Headings The headings and captions to the GCA are inserted for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, or limit the scope or intent of the GCA or any of the provisions hereof. The Parties acknowledge that they have reviewed the GCA in its entirety and have had a full opportunity to negotiate its terms, and therefore waive all applicable rules of construction that would require that any provision of the GCA should be construed against its drafter and agree that all provisions of the GCA shall be construed as a whole, according to the fair meaning of the language used.

Governing Law The GCA shall be governed, interpreted, enforced and resolved exclusively by the laws of Florida. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATE, PERTAIN OR REFER TO THE GCA. As an initial step in resolving any dispute, the Parties must each designate an individual who is authorized to conduct “peer to peer” settlement communications with, by and between the authorized representatives of the other party (with full authority to resolve the dispute), to be conducted by telephone, unless the parties mutually agree to meet in person to conduct such settlement communications. These peer-to-peer communications toward resolution must occur within 10 days of either party giving written notice of a dispute to the other party. Thereafter, the Parties may mediate any dispute prior to instituting legal proceedings against one another; however, Customer shall remain subject to the notice and cure provisions of chapter 558, Florida Statutes.

Dates of Performance Dates of performance of the construction services are currently uncertain. Contractor will provide Customer with a detailed timeline once the Contract Amount is determined. Any approximate commencement and completion dates are estimates only.

Certificates of Completion After Contractor has completed the construction services, or any part thereof, Customer shall inspect the completed construction services (which shall occur promptly upon Contractor’s request). Any objections to the construction services shall be given in writing to Contractor within 3 days of the inspection. Contractor shall then have a reasonable period of time to address such objections. If there are no objections, or such objections have otherwise been resolved, then Customer shall sign a certificate of completion (or any other documents required by Insurer to secure the release of insurance proceeds).

Independent; Supervision Customer and Contractor have entered into the GCA after an arm’s length negotiation. The GCA is a bona fide written agreement between the Parties. Contractor, at all times relevant to this transaction, shall be deemed an independent contractor and not an agent or representative of Customer. Contractor shall perform or manage the emergency construction services, general contractor services, its employees, subcontractors and suppliers using its best skill and attention. Contractor shall be solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the construction services.

Security; Marketing Customer consents to having Contractor conduct photography and photographic surveillance. Customer authorizes Contractor to use such images in its marketing and on social media.

Exclusions The GCA does not include any mold, asbestos, or crystalline silica abatement, removal, or encapsulation, or any removal of lead paint. If mold, asbestos, crystalline silica, or lead paint is found existing on the Property, any cost to abate, remove, or encapsulate shall be paid by Customer as Additional Work. The GCA does not include, unless expressly specified, any decking or substrate replacement or repair. Customer agrees that Contractor shall not be responsible for preexisting construction deficiencies, defects, damages, building envelope deficiencies (i.e., design, construction, existing building materials, etc.) and conditions of the Property that reveal themselves during Contractor’s performance under the GCA, including, but not limited to, nail pops, wood rot, rust, decking deflection, substrate deterioration, termites, etc. Customer acknowledges and accepts that Contractor expressly disclaims any and all liability whatsoever arising from or pertaining to any preexisting construction deficiencies whatsoever. Customer agrees that Contractor shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages under any circumstances whatsoever.

Agreement The GCA and the Terms and Conditions set forth herein constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the matters herein, supersedes any and all prior written and/or oral agreements, and may not be amended except by a written instrument executed by the Parties. The subsequent signing of any Addendums shall be incorporated herein and made a material part of the GCA.
