Terms of service.

Colorado Electrical Contract Agreement By accepting a quote, paying a deposit, authorizing work, or permitting Contractor to begin work, the Client agrees to the following Terms and Conditions. These Terms apply to all work performed by Enlightenment Electric LLC.

1. Scope of Work Work is limited to the services and materials listed in the attached quote or invoice (“Scope”). Any item not listed is additional unless required to complete the Scope as described in Section 3.

2. Payment, Deposits, and Final Balance - A 50% deposit is required before work begins unless otherwise agreed. - Client may lock pricing by paying 80% upfront (Price Lock Option). - Remaining balance is due per the payment schedule listed on the quote or invoice. - Late payments accrue 1.5% interest per month (18% APR). - Contractor may suspend work for nonpayment after 7 days’ written notice.

3. Additional Work, Change Orders, and Necessary Adjustments - Client-requested changes outside the Scope require written approval. - Necessary changes required to complete the original Scope safely, correctly, or to code are implied consent. Contractor will notify Client but may proceed without waiting for written approval to maintain project momentum. - All adjustments will be documented and billed at Contractor’s standard rates.

4. Warranty Contractor warrants workmanship and installed materials for two (2) years from completion. Warranty excludes misuse, third-party damage, alterations by others, normal wear, power surges, and conditions outside Contractor’s control. Warranty is valid only if Client has paid in full.

5. Licensing and Insurance Contractor maintains all required Colorado electrical licenses and liability insurance. Proof is available upon request.

6. Completion, Inspection, and Punch List Upon notice of completion, Client must inspect the work within 5 business days and provide any punch list items in writing. Contractor will address verified punch list items within a reasonable time at no additional charge.

7. Timeline, Delays, and Price Escalation - Timeline estimates are included in the Scope and may be adjusted by mutual agreement. - If start or progress is delayed due to causes outside Contractor control (Client delays, other trades, permitting delays not caused by Contractor), Contractor may adjust the schedule and invoice accordingly. - If material or labor costs increase after the quote date, Contractor may proportionately adjust the price. Contractor will provide notice and supplier documentation. - Price adjustments take effect 14 days after written notice unless otherwise agreed. - Price Lock applies only to materials already purchased under the 80% deposit.

8. Termination Either party may terminate this Agreement for material breach after 7 days’ written notice. Upon termination, Client must pay for all work performed to date, including reasonable demobilization and collection costs.

9. Collections, Discounts, and Lien Rights - Any discount offered is void if Client fails to pay according to Agreement. - Upon initiation of collection or lien actions, Client must reimburse: lien filing fees, Notice of Intent service fees, certified or overnight mail fees, process server fees, Contractor or staff time at $200 per hour (premium for off-hours). - Default service fees: $100 personal service; $35 certified/overnight mail plus postage. - Contractor retains full rights under Colorado Mechanics’ Lien laws (C.R.S. Title 38, Article 22). Contractor will serve a 10-day Notice of Intent before filing a lien.

10. Dispute Resolution Parties shall attempt good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes proceed to mediation. If still unresolved, Contractor may elect arbitration or court action. Mechanics’ lien rights are not waived by participation in mediation or arbitration.

11. Amendment / Right to Amend Contractor may amend these Terms. Amendments take effect 30 days after written notice unless required immediately for safety, legal compliance, or material procurement. Retroactive price changes apply only when necessary to complete the original Scope and will include documentation. Client may dispute amendments; unresolved matters follow Section 10.

12. Acceptance by Conduct Client agrees to these Terms when they: authorize Contractor to begin work, pay any deposit, approve or accept a quote, or allow Contractor site access. Lack of a signature does not limit enforceability. Electronic or verbal authorizations are binding.

13. Authority If Contractor reasonably relies on instructions from any person appearing authorized to act for Client, Client remains responsible for all resulting labor, costs, and materials.

14. Governing Law and Venue This Agreement is governed by Colorado law. Venue for disputes is Denver, Colorado.

15. Severability If any clause of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement remains in effect.

16. Entire Agreement These Terms, together with the Scope and the quote/invoice, constitute the entire Agreement between Client and Contractor. No additional terms apply unless in writing and approved by Contractor.
