Using a Repair Agreement clarifies payment and scope, reduces disputes, and documents warranty and post-repair responsibilities. It protects both parties by establishing clear timelines, acceptance criteria, liability limits, and procedures for change orders and claim handling.
This Repair Agreement is suitable for businesses and individuals who contract or perform repair work and need a written record.
It also benefits insurers, lenders, and legal counsel who review repair obligations, fees, and proof of completion.
A licensed contractor or shop owner signs to accept work terms, supply insurance proof, and affirm compliance with trade licensing. They are responsible for timely performance, supplying parts, and documenting change orders and warranties for client and insurer records.
The customer verifies site access, approves estimates, authorizes payments, and documents acceptance on completion. They must provide accurate ownership details, allow necessary inspections or permits, and retain copies for warranty, insurance, and potential lien or dispute proceedings.
Describe tasks, excluded items, parts to be used, measurements, performance standards, and acceptance criteria. Be specific to avoid disputes over incomplete or out-of-scope repairs. Include model numbers and serial numbers where applicable.
List labor, parts, taxes, and any flat or hourly rates. Specify deposit, progress payments, final payment due date, accepted payment methods, and consequences of late payment or nonpayment.
Set start and estimated completion dates, milestone checkpoints, and procedures for delays. Address weekday, holiday, and weather-related adjustments and required notice for schedule changes, including acceptable notification methods.
Describe warranty scope and duration for parts and labor, exclusions, and remedies such as repair, replacement, or prorated credit. State who bears shipping or diagnostic costs after warranty period.
Allocate risk with liability limits, indemnification clauses, and insurance requirements. Require contractor to carry general liability and workers' compensation where applicable and provide certificates of insurance on request.
Specify how deviations from scope are authorized, priced, and documented. Require written approval for extra work, estimate adjustments, revised completion dates, and any holdbacks linked to disputed items.
