Understanding Contract Termination in Home Improvement Projects
When a home improvement project goes wrong it goes wrong fast. It isn’t fold up a blanket and move some furniture. It is tearing down drywall, extricating bubbling concrete, ripping up shingles and in the case of pool and patio projects, pulling up cement and sand.
Homeowners face between 5 and 15 contracts every year in the course of DIY home improvement projects. Some of these contracts such as insurance and banking are for financial services while others are for physical products such as roofing, flooring and swimming pools.
In a recent article “Understanding the Basics of a Termination for Cause”, the author explains the concept behind sometimes concise and even legalistic contract language that arises when there is breaking of a contract.
Relying on the legalese, sometimes customers of Sunflower Pool and Patio could face contract termination without any warning.
The phrase, comprehensive approach to contract termination for cause means that one side of representative is telling the other side of representative that the contract is over. It is a formal document used in the legal world to put one side of representative on notice that the contract is voided.
If you are building or have recently built a pool, you may be wondering what the situation may arise for a customer to get a notice that the contract is terminated.
Some reasons might include:
- No payment made for more than 30 days
- Missing inspections
- Weather preventing construction of any kind for more than 30 days
But as this article states, there are more reasons for a contract termination that might be an improvement project, such as sidewalk, driveway, fencing, patio or room addition that you could face otherwise.
