Scope of Work
Describe exact tasks, excluded items, model and serial numbers, and any acceptance testing to verify repairs are complete and effective.
A clear, signed agreement reduces disputes by documenting expectations, costs, and schedules, and it protects both owner and technician by allocating risk, defining warranties, and specifying remedies for defects.
Use the agreement whenever a repair, overhaul, preventive maintenance, or emergency service may affect equipment performance, safety, or regulatory compliance.
Service provider (company owner or authorized technician) signs to accept the scope, warranty terms, labor rates, and to confirm insurance coverage. The signer should be an officer, manager, or designated technician with authority to bind the provider to indemnity and warranty obligations.
Owner or authorized representative (facility manager or owner-operator) signs to accept pricing, site access terms, and to confirm authorizations for parts replacement or emergency repairs. The signer should be able to authorize payments and approve final acceptance testing.
Describe exact tasks, excluded items, model and serial numbers, and any acceptance testing to verify repairs are complete and effective.
State labor rates, parts markup, fixed fees or estimates, invoice timing, late fees, and whether travel or mobilization charges apply.
Specify response times for emergency repairs, estimated completion dates, site access windows, and obligations for delays due to weather or permits.
Define warranty scope and duration for parts and labor, remedies for defects, and any limitations excluding consequential damages.
Allocate risk, require proof of insurance (general liability, workers' comp), and set caps on damages or indemnity obligations.
State grounds for termination, notice periods, final accounting for work completed, and handling of partially installed parts.
