Scope of Work
Describe precise locations, number of panels, window identifiers, surface preparation, removal of old film, and any exclusion items to avoid scope creep and unexpected change orders.
A signed agreement reduces ambiguity about scope, price, and warranty, and creates a record enforceable under federal e‑signature laws (ESIGN) and state UETA statutes where applicable. It sets expectations for site readiness, power access, and post‑installation inspection so both parties can measure completion against defined acceptance criteria.
Contractors, dealers, property owners, and facility managers use this agreement to document commercial and residential window film projects.
The agreement serves as the primary accountability instrument throughout quoting, installation, and warranty periods to reduce disputes and support compliance.
Describe precise locations, number of panels, window identifiers, surface preparation, removal of old film, and any exclusion items to avoid scope creep and unexpected change orders.
Specify manufacturer, product code, thickness, optical properties, installation adhesives, edge treatments, and manufacturer warranty periods to support warranty claims and inspections.
State total price, deposit percentage, progress payments, final payment on completion, accepted payment methods, and late payment interest to align cash flow expectations.
Clarify installer warranty, manufacturer warranty assignments, exclusions for misuse or damage, and procedure for repair or replacement to limit disagreement on acceptable remedies.
Limit liability to agreed caps, require commercial general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and request certificates naming the owner as additional insured where required.
Define termination rights, notice periods, and written change order procedures, including pricing and schedule impacts, to manage scope changes effectively.
| Document Routing and Field Setup | Sequential signing order | Ensure installer signs last after customer acceptance |
|---|---|
| Signing Order (sequential or parallel) | Use sequential for role‑based approvals; parallel for simultaneous execution |
| Authentication Method - use email/SMS/KBA | Email link plus SMS code is a practical balance of security and signer convenience |
| Reminder Schedule and Deadlines | Send automatic reminders at 3 and 7 days; expire link after 30 days |
| Field Validation and Required Fields | Make signature, date, price, and site address required to prevent incomplete submissions |
Choose a signing platform that supports secure audit trails, flexible authentication, and the integrations you rely on.
Ensure the chosen platform can attach exhibits (spec sheets, COIs), produce tamper‑evident PDFs, and retain audit logs to support warranty and claims processes.
