At the completion of the project, Contractor will remove all waste materials and rubbish from the site, together with tools, construction equipment, machinery, and surplus materials. Contractor shall supervise and direct the work at Customer’s property, using reasonable skill and attention.

  19. Contractor’s Responsibility: Contractor shall not be responsible for (a) any damages arising in whole or in part from strikes, fires, accidents, floods, governmental actions, or any other causes beyond control of Contractor; (b) any incidental or consequential damages including, without limitation, lost profits or reduction in value of Customer’s property arising from Contractor’s delay in performing under this Agreement or due to Contractor’s breach of this Agreement; and (c) unintentional damage to flooring, window treatments, landscaping, driveways, sidewalks, telephone installations, collateral or incidental damage to interior walls and personal property, it being understood that Customer(s) is responsible at Customer’s cost for all preparations, protection, and/or moving of

such items prior to the Contractor’s commencement of work.

  1. Condensation, Mold, and Related Matters: Customer(s) agrees to indemnify and hold Contractor and its employees, agents, and subcontractors harmless from any claims as to the identification, detection, abatement, encapsulation, or removal of mold, asbestos, lead- based products, or other hazardous substances inside or outside of the property at which work is performed. The contractor does not provide mold testing or remediation services.
  2. Miscellaneous: No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach hereof. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. In construing this Agreement, the gender and number of words used may be changed to meet the context. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which it is performed, except as may be preempted by federal law. Any part of this Agreement contrary to the law of this state shall not invalidate other parts of this Agreement. If a provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted.
  3. Third-Party Lenders: If applicable, Customer(s) acknowledges receipt of the third-party lender loan agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with the lender specified on the Loan Agreement (“Lender”) and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. Customer(s) authorizes and instructs Customer’s third-party lender to disburse the proceeds of the third-party loan to Contractor in the amount specified in this Agreement upon request for payment by Contractor.
  4. Arbitration of Disputes: Contractor and Customer(s) agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies (hereafter referred to as a “Claim”) arising under or relating to this Agreement and any related documents, loans, security instruments, accounts, or notes, including by way of example and not as a limitation: (i) the relationships resulting from this Agreement and the transactions arising as a result thereof; (ii) the terms of this Agreement; or (iii) the validity of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this arbitration provision may, at the election of either party, be subject to binding arbitration to be determined by one arbitrator, in accordance with and pursuant to the then prevailing Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), to be held and arbitrated in the county where the work under this Agreement occurred. Customer(s) agrees that Customer(s) will not assert a Claim on behalf of, or as a member of, any group or class. The findings of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties to this Agreement. Each party shall be responsible for its own fees and costs, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator. This agreement to arbitrate, and any award, finding, or verdict of or from the arbitration, will be specifically enforceable under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction. The party asserting a Claim shall file a notice of the demand for arbitration with the other party to this Agreement and with AAA. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the Claim in question has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such Claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Any arbitration proceeding brought under this Agreement, and any award, finding, or verdict of or from such proceeding shall remain confidential between the parties and shall not be made public. Both Contractor and Customer(s) are hereby potentially agreeing to choose arbitration, rather than litigation or some other means of dispute resolution, to address any grievances or alleged grievances. The parties believe this may allow for a faster and more cost-effective method of addressing a Claim. By entering into this Agreement and this arbitration provision, both parties may be potentially giving up their constitutional right to have any dispute decided in a court of law before a jury, and instead are potentially accepting the use of arbitration.
