Upon execution of this Agreement by CLIENT, COMPANY will provide services for the CLIENT under the Terms and Conditions set forth below in this Agreement:
1. SERVICES: COMPANY shall comply with all local, state and federal laws in connection with all services rendered by the Company.
COMPANY will utilize skills and reasonable business practices, within the trade, in conjunction with the necessary procedures in order to perform all services in compliance with the law. Services shall commence upon receipt of the executed copy of this Agreement to COMPANY. COMPANY may subcontract, sub-let or assign such portion of the services under this Agreement as it may believe advisable. Any contractor or subcontractor utilized by COMPANY shall be herein referred to as “CONTRACTOR”. COMPANY reserves the right, at any time, to stop performance of the services hereunder until such time as any past due payment, according to the payment terms of this Agreement, are brought up to date.
1.1. SERVICES & LIABILITIES: COMPANY will provide CLIENT with the information necessary for CLIENT to render construction services to third parties (“Consumers”) who solicit COMPANY for such services. However, COMPANY will not render any construction services to Consumers. Providing construction services to Consumers is the sole responsibility of CLIENT. In addition to other provisions in this agreement, COMPANY is not liable for any damages or liabilities incurred by Consumers or CLIENT resulting from the services rendered by CLIENT to Consumers.
If COMPANY incurs any liabilities resulting from or related to services rendered by CLIENT to Consumers, then CLIENT will fully indemnify and hold the COMPANY harmless for such damages.
2. DUTIES IMPOSED ON CLIENT: In addition to the above services rendered by COMPANY, during the term of this Agreement, the CLIENT shall provide COMPANY with any and all information or documents which may be necessary for COMPANY to fulfill its obligations under the terms herein. Moreover, CLIENT agrees to cooperate with COMPANY in any manner necessary, so long as it is in compliance with the laws, in order to allow COMPANY to fulfill its obligations under the term herein.
3. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES: In consideration for the services to be performed by COMPANY under this Agreement, the CLIENT will pay compensation to COMPANY in the total agreed upon amount.

If CLIENT and COMPANY agree to a payment schedule, then it must be in writing and attached to this Agreement and Incorporated by reference herein as “Exhibit A.” Failure of CLIENT to pay any fees after the due date is a material breach of this Agreement, justifying suspension of the COMPANY’S performance and it shall be sufficient cause for immediate termination of this Agreement by COMPANY. Any such suspension will in no way relieve CLIENT from payment of compensation. CLIENT shall be liable for any costs associated with collection, including, but not limited to, legal costs, attorneys’ fees, courts costs, and collection agency fees.
5. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR: Nothing herein shall be construed to create an employer-employee relationship between CLIENT and COMPANY.

6. TERM: This Agreement shall commence immediately upon the reservation of services by CLIENT from COMPANY and shall continue for a year after the date of this Agreement unless extended by mutual written agreement of the parties to this Agreement. COMPANY has the right to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion if CLIENT violates or proposes to violate any applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation. COMPANY may also terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion.
7. PERSONAL GUARANTEE: The undersigned individual signing on behalf of CLIENT(s) personally guarantees payment of any future obligations which may be owing to COMPANY upon demand, whether or not a lawsuit is filed.

COMPANY SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE, EVEN IF COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
CLIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT COMPANY IS ACTING AS A BROKER OF SERVICES BETWEEN AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AND CLIENT. COMPANY MAKES NO GUARANTEE AS TO THE QUALITY OF SERVICES RENDERED BY THE CONTRACTOR.
ANY DAMAGES OR INSTANCES OF NEGLIGENCE CAUSED BY THE CONTRACTOR ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR, AND NOT COMPANY.
IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO CLIENT FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY CLIENT, IF ANY, FOR THE VALUE OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER.
