Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions of Service (these “Terms”) are made and entered into by and between Rad Roofs Inc, (Rad Roofs), and the Customer, as identified in the accompanying customer agreement (Agreement). These Terms become binding on the parties as of the date the Customer Agreement is signed by the Customer or on the date that Rad Roofs commences the Services, whichever is earlier (the “Effective Date”). In consideration of the mutual covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledges, the parties agree as follows:
1. Applicability.
(a) Rad Roofs’ quotation, Customer Agreement, invoice, pre-construction checklist, scope of work, and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) are the only terms that govern the provision of residential roofing, siding, repair, gutter, light remodeling and interior construction services by Rad Roofs and comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of the Customer’s general terms and condition regardless of whether or when Customer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Customer’s order for services does not constitute acceptance of any of Customer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Rad Roofs may, from time to time, change the Services (as defined below and more particularly described in the Agreement) without the consent of Customer provided such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Agreement.
2. Services.
Rad Roofs shall provide to Customer the services (the “Services”) set out in one or more Agreements to be issued by Customer and accepted by Rad Roofs (each, a “Agreement”). Additional Agreements shall be deemed issued and accepted only if signed by a Rad Roofs’ representative. Rad Roofs may engage sub-agents, independent contractors or other persons (“Sub-Agents”) to act on Rad Roofs’ behalf or to otherwise perform any of Rad Roofs’ obligations under the Agreement; provided that any compensation to Sub-Agents shall be solely Rad Roofs’ responsibility.
3. Performance Dates.
Rad Roofs shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates, if any, specified in the Agreement. Customer understands and agrees that any performance dates will be estimates only and that Rad Roofs shall not be liable and shall not be in breach of the Agreement for any failure to meet any estimated performance dates.
4. Customer’s Obligations.
Customer agrees (a) to cooperate with Rad Roofs in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Customer’s premises and other facilities, including access and use of restrooms, as may reasonably be requested by Rad Roofs for the purposes of performing the Services; (b) to respond promptly to any Rad Roofs request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, decisions, records or other documents that are reasonably necessary for Rad Roofs to perform the Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; (c) to provide such materials or information as Rad Roofs may request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; (d) secure all pets during commencement of the work; and (e) Follow all instructions and recommendations provided by Rad Roofs that are necessary for the satisfactory provision and completion of Services.
5. Customer’s Acts or Omissions.
If Rad Roofs’ performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Customer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, Rad Roofs shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by Customer, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
6. Change Orders.
Customers may request Rad Roofs to perform services or provide materials which are not set forth in the Agreement. Rad Roofs agrees to perform such additional work so long as prior to the performance of such additional work, Customer shall authorize in writing the scope of such additional work and compensation payable to Rad Roofs for the full performance of said additional work. Unless otherwise set forth in such a Change Order signed by Rad Roofs, Customer understands and agrees that the fee for any additional work shall include the costs of the additional work plus an additional thirty percent (30%). Rad Roofs may charge for the time it spends assessing and documenting a change request from Customer on a time and materials basis in accordance with the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, Rad Roofs may also, from time to time, change the Services without the consent of Customer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, the fees, or any performance dates set forth in the Agreement. Any additional services or work, including additional services or work not specifically set forth in a written Change Order or in any additional Agreements, shall be at Customer’s additional expense. Customer agrees that if, prior to or during Rad Roofs’ provision of the Services, Rad Roofs discovers any defects in previous construction performed by a third party, then the parties shall execute a Change Order describing the additional work to be performed and the costs of any such additional work.
7. Payment Terms.
(a) Fee. In consideration of the provision of the Services by Rad Roofs and the rights granted to Customer under this Agreement, Customer shall pay the fees set forth in the Agreement. Additional amounts or fees will be required for any additional work, tasks or services requested outside of the scope of work described in the Agreement, or for any additional damage found or discovered during the provision of the Services or following the execution of the Agreement.
(b) Down Payment. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement, Customer shall pay 40% of the total fee as a down payment for the Services prior to the commencement of the work. Upon completion, Customer shall pay the remaining 60% of the total fee upon completion of the work, in accordance with the invoice procedures in this Section 7.

Likewise, if Rad Roofs purchases any specific items at the request of Customer, Customer agrees to promptly reimburse Rad Roofs for the cost of such items.

For emergency services provided to Customer (i.e. services necessary to prevent damage), the fees payable by Customer shall be due upon receipt of the Rad Roofs’ invoice.
(e) Unpaid Fees and Expenses. In the event that any one of Rad Roofs’ invoices remain unpaid for fifteen (15) days or more after becoming due, then Rad Roofs may (i) charge interest on such unpaid amounts at a rate of one and half percent (1.5%) per month or, if lower, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, from the date such payment was due until the date paid; and (ii) suspend performance for all Services until payment has been made in full. Furthermore, Customer agrees to pay all collection costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, for collection of any unpaid fees or expenses. Customer further agrees to notify Rad Roofs in writing or by email within five (5) days of receiving an invoice if Customer disputes any expense or fee entry on that invoice. In the absence of any such written objections within five (5) days, Customer will be deemed to have accepted and acknowledged the invoice as correct.
