Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) governs any service work performed by Solar Topps, LLC (“ST”). ST and the Customer, party responsible for accepting the Agreement and/or making payments as owed hereunder, will be known individually as “Party” or collectively as “Parties.” The Parties therefore agree to the following: 1. WORK a) SCOPE OF WORK ST will ensure all Work is performed in a professional and workmanlike manner, and in full compliance with all applicable codes and laws, and in strict accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement. ST carries commercial general liability insurance with coverage amounts that meet or exceed those required by law and workers’ compensation insurance for all employees in compliance with the law. ST shall at its own expense obtain and possess all necessary inspections, licenses, permits, and any other necessary requirements to complete its Work. ST may terminate this Agreement if there is a failure to obtain all permits and governmental approvals required for performance of its Work. ST reserves the right to cancel this Agreement or postpone the Service Work if Property conditions are found insufficient for fulfilling its obligations or if other unknown issues arise that were not considered in the initial estimate once work has commenced. ST is not responsible for any known or unknown Property conditions, including those that may be exasperated by ST’s installation practices. The Customer will be responsible for any structural integrity and electrical modifications necessary for ST to complete its Work. If the Customer has an HOA, ST will provide the Customer with a complete set of plans and drawings that are to be submitted to the HOA if necessary. The submission of these documents along with all other forms or associated fees are the responsibility of the Customer. ST will provide whatever documentation necessary in instances where the HOA imposes on Customer’s ability to have ST fulfill its obligations. The Customer acknowledges that ST’s completion of its Work is not contingent on HOA approval. Accordingly, Customer shall not delay ST’s performance of its obligations nor Customer’s fulfillment of their obligations to ST. Additionally, when electrical equipment, including, but not limited to, inverters or batteries, are placed on the exterior of the property, the Customer shall ensure, at its sole expense, that it has any shade, protective covering or ventilation necessary per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Lastly, if ST is installing a system monitoring device, the Customer must, at their sole expense, maintain an internet connection that is compatible with the measuring or monitoring equipment or service to perform at 100%. ST does not monitor the system nor provide any warranties or guarantees regarding performance. For more details, please see the Limited Warranty section of this Agreement. b) EXCLUSIONS The obligations and restrictions of this Agreement do not apply to changes to the Work desired or required by the Customer or required by the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction), Utility, HOA or any other entity, or if a concern arises, as determined in ST’s sole discretion, that was not considered in the initial estimate ST provided once its Work has commenced. If any changes to this Agreement are needed, the Customer will bear the full cost(s) of said changes, including, but not limited to, upgrade of existing main service panels, subpanels or switchboards; replacement, repair or upgrade of existing roof or support roof structures; and, additional permitting requirements by local building authorities. Moreover, where trenching, excavating, or backfilling is required to be performed under ST’s scope of work, ST will work to restore the property to as close to its original condition, however, due to the nature of its work, ST, it’s agents, contractors or subcontractors will not be responsible for any issues or adjustments including, but not limited to, settlement of the earth, cracking, patching, repairing, painting, marking, or replacement of ground, concrete, asphalt, parking lot, sidewalks, driveways, building structures or fixtures, and any landscaping including grass, shrubbery, trees, sprinklers, lights, or fixtures. 2. PROPERTY a) CONSENT AND RIGHT TO ACCESS Customer authorizes and warrants they are the legal owner of the Property and give ST approval to access the Property during the entire term of this Agreement in order to perform its Work. Customer agrees to provide a safe and secure work environment at the Property during the term of this Agreement. Customer agrees that no other contractors or agents will be on-site working in a manner that may impede ST’s ability to get its Work done in a timely manner. ST may immediately cease any and all Work if any hazardous materials are found on site until such materials are removed from the Property, which is the sole responsibility of the Customer. Any work stoppage due to Property unavailability does not relieve ST or the Customer of their responsibilities under this Agreement. 3. PAYMENT a) PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATE Prior to commencing Service Work, ST will provide the Customer with a Preliminary Cost Estimate that may detail ST’s findings at the Property, the diagnosis ST recommends to overcome any issues, the estimated cost of performing such services and procuring any necessary equipment, and the anticipated amount of time it should take to complete the services necessary. ST will commence the Service Work once the Customer has made Payment per the terms agreed with ST, and the Customer or ST have procured any and all necessary parts, material or components to perform the Service Work. When performing its work, if ST notices that further repair or replacement of materials, components or parts, will be needed, beyond which were originally considered in the Preliminary Cost, ST may cease its Service Work and issue a Revised Cost Estimate, which the Customer will have to agree to prior to ST commencing its Service Work. If customer refuses to the revised estimate, ST will do its best to leave the property and system in the original condition it was found but makes not warranties or guarantees, nor will the Customer hold ST or its agents liable, for any site or system issues. Once ST’s Service Work is completed, ST will issue a Final Payment Invoice for all costs that have been incurred in performance of the Service Work. ST shall maintain title to all of the Work and materials delivered to the Property until final payment has been made by the Customer. b) FINANCING For any amount owed that the Customer is financing, the financing institution will make payments to ST per the financing institution’s payment policies and guidelines. However, if the financing institution fails to provide payment to ST for any reason whatsoever, then the Customer will be responsible for paying ST all amounts owed. Please refer to the financing institution’s disclosures regarding your total number of payments, the payment frequency, the amount of the payments, and the payment due dates as applicable. c) PAYMENT FORM All payments must be made in U.S. Dollars and in the form of a check, cashier’s check, money order, wire transfer, or credit card made payable to the Company. There will be 3% additional processing fees associated with credit card payments. The Customer will be charged a fee of twenty-five ($25) dollars, or such lower amount as required by law, for each check or withdrawal right that is returned or refused by the Customer’s bank. d) LATE FEES AND PENALTIES If the Customer does not pay any amount owed under this Agreement when due, as a late fee, the Customer will be charged interest at a rate equal to fifteen percent (15%) annually, calculated daily and compounded monthly. The Customer will also reimburse the Company for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments including attorneys' fees. e) NO SETOFFS OR WITHHOLDINGS The Customer has no right to setoff, make deductions or withhold any payment due to the Company for any malfunction, damage or blemishes to the System, its included components or materials, or to the Property, or for any defects in workmanship or other issues once the Company has completed its work as determined in its sole discretion. f) ARIZONA MECHANICS LIEN LAW Under Arizona Mechanics Lien Law, any person or entity that helps to improve a property and is not paid for their work or supplies has a right to place a lien on said property and sue for payment in court.
