1. SCOPE OF WORK (“SOW”) TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.1 Customer acknowledges that Customer is solely responsible for material selection for SOW, including but not limited to: material type, layout, size, dimensions, quantity, color, edge profile(s), sink dimensions, sink layout(s), and backsplash option(s) (collectively the “SOW Materials”). In addition, Customer is solely responsible for determining installation requirements, including but not limited to: plumbing connect and disconnects, tear-out, turn-around time, and other installation option(s) (collectively the “SOW Installation Requirements”).
1.2 Customer acknowledges that any estimates shown on Server Provider’s website, ads, or any other marketing or sales collateral are estimates only and not considered to be final SOW pricing. Final SOW pricing can vary based on SOW Materials and SOW Installation Requirements.
1.3 Customer acknowledges final SOW requirements must be confirmed with an on-site measurement and confirmation of SOW Materials (“Templating”) to finalize exact material requirements, including but not limited to: size, dimensions, quantity, installation requirements, etc. Customer, or an authorized agent, must be on-site at time of Templating to confirm SOW requirements in writing.
Customer acknowledges that Templating may result in changes to estimated SOW Materials and therefore may result in changes to the final SOW pricing.
Service Provider provides one (1) Templating session as part of SOW and cost for the session is included in the SOW pricing. If Customer cancels the Order and terminates Agreement after Templating, Customer shall be responsible for paying the session fee calculated as the greater of $500 or $10/square foot (“Change Order Fee”).
If additional sessions are required, Service Provider reserves the right to require Customer to pay an additional on-site fee (“Trip Fee”) calculated as the greater of $250 or $5/square foot for each additional on-site visit and each session must be scheduled on a day that best fits the Service Provider. Customer may reschedule the session with 3 business days advanced notice without penalty.
All items that could affect the SOW Materials or SOW Installation Requirements and are not purchased through Service Provider, including but not limited to sinks, free standing range, slide in range, down draft and/or cook tops must be on-site at Templating. Apron front/farm sinks must be installed prior to Templating, unless the manufacture suggests otherwise.
Any and all cabinets receiving SOW Materials must be permanently installed, set, leveled and properly secured to the wall and/or floor, and Customer acknowledges Service Provider will not level or adjust cabinets as part of Templating or SOW Installation Requirements. If cabinets are adjusted by Customer or another third-party after Templating, another Templating session will be required at the Customer’s expense (an additional Trip Fee and additional Templating session fee).
Customer acknowledges that Templating must be performed on Customer cabinetry without any existing countertops. If cabinetry has existing countertops, Customer must remove existing countertops prior to Templating.
If Customer cannot remove existing countertops prior to Templating, Customer acknowledges that Templating performed with existing Customer countertops in place will not produce accurate or exact measurements needed for fabrication or installation. As a result, Customer is solely responsible for any gaps or imperfections that may appear as a result of Templating with existing Customer countertops in place and Service Provider shall not be responsible for any repairs to fix such gaps or imperfections.
1.4 Service Provider shall not be responsible for tear-out, removal, and disposal of existing Customer countertops and related debris (“Tear Out”) unless Customer purchases such services as part of Order.
Service Provider shall not be responsible for any additional work or services that may be required after Tear Out, including but not limited to paint, wallpaper, tile, spackle, trim, mirrors, etc. As part of Tear Out, Service Provider shall not be responsible for any damages to Customer’s cabinet integrity, walls, or any surrounding Customer property, including but not limited to: furniture, appliances, fixtures, plumbing, electrical wiring, flooring, or any other surrounding property. Moreover, if after Tear Out, Service Provider uncovers issues with Customer cabinets, Customer must make the proper repairs or adjustments to Customer cabinets and schedule another Templating session, at the Customer’s expense, after such repairs or adjustments are complete.
1.5 Customer acknowledges fabrication of SOW Materials shall begin after Templating is complete.
Customer acknowledges it is their responsibility to select SOW Materials for color, shade, and veining. Customer acknowledges that if their selection does not result in enough material to meet SOW Material requirements, Customer authorizes Service Provider to select additional SOW Materials to meet requirements and consents to any price adjustments as a result. Customer may also elect to authorize Service Provider use Service Provider’s best judgement to select SOW Materials that meet SOW requirements.
Service Provider will make every effort to closely match any variations in the SOW Materials during Fabrication using the Customer selection of SOW Materials.
Service Provider shall make every effort to keep seams inconspicuous and at a minimum and in accordance to industry standards. Customer acknowledges that seams on countertops and backsplashes are unavoidable and cannot be invisible. If Customer has specific requests for seam placement, Customer must be present at the time of fabrication to relay these requests to the Service Provider fabricator. If lieu of being present, Customer accepts the Service Provider’s best judgment.
1.6 Customer acknowledges on-site installation (“Installation”) of fabricated SOW Materials will be scheduled after fabrication of SOW Materials. The customer must be on-site for Installation and available to complete the Certification of Completion.
Customer cabinets must be ready for the Installation. Customer plumbing must be disconnected prior to Installation and all faucets, fixtures, and other accessories requiring a hole to be drilled into the fabricated SOW Materials must be on-site prior to Installation.
Service Provider shall only install items purchased as part of Order, such as a sink. Service Provider shall not install Customer items, including but not limited to: Customer sinks, cook tops, appliances, etc., unless item is included in the Order. Service Provider shall not be responsible for moving Customer major appliances.
Service Provider shall not be responsible for reconnecting Customer plumbing unless Customer purchases such services as part of Order. Service Provider shall not be responsible for any electrical work.

After sealing, Customer must wait a minimum of 48 hours before preparing food on countertops to ensure the sealant is fully absorbed and cured. Customer is responsible for applying additional coats to countertops after Installation. For best results, Customer should apply an additional coat of sealant one month after Installation in accordance to industry standards recommended by Natural Stone Institute (NSI).
Service Provider provides one (1) Installation session as part of SOW. If additional Installation sessions are required, Service Provider reserves the right to require Customer to pay an additional Trip Fee for each additional on-site visit and each session must be scheduled on a day that best fits the Service Provider. Customer may reschedule the session with 3 business days advanced notice without penalty.
1.7 Customer authorizes and grants Service Provider permission to take videos, images, or other types of media, including but not limited to: images, likeness, photos, drawings, blueprints, video, voice, interviews, quotes, prices paid, sound effects, social media posts, etc. (collectively “Project Media”) of the Customer, the Service work area at the Customer property (before and after Service commences) and Service materials, and grants Service Provider the irrevocable, perpetual right to use Project Media for Service Provider marketing, advertising, or promotional material. Customer also authorizes Service Provider to make any edits, cuts, paraphrases, spelling corrections, grammatical changes, graphical additions, updates, or changes to Project Media as deemed necessary by Service Provider (collectively “Directorial Edits”) for marketing, advertising, or promotional purposes as long as any Directorial Edits preserves the original truth in Project Media.
