Electrical Services Terms

Lake Effect Electric LLC

These terms apply to the electrical work described in the attached estimate, proposal, or invoice.

1. Scope of Work

Lake Effect Electric LLC will provide the labor and materials described in the attached document. Work not specifically included will be considered additional work and may result in additional charges.

2. Payment Terms

For quoted projects, payments will be made according to the following schedule:

  • 20% deposit before work begins.
  • 50% upon substantial completion of the electrical rough-in.
  • 30% upon final completion of the electrical work.

If Lake Effect Electric LLC performs work but is unable to fully complete a project phase because of construction delays, site conditions, scheduling issues, delayed customer decisions, or unavailable customer-supplied materials, a progress draw will be issued for the labor performed and materials provided up to that date. Payment may not be withheld because of delays or incomplete work caused by the customer, another contractor, or circumstances outside Lake Effect Electric LLC’s control.

Time-and-material work will be billed at $125 per man-hour, plus materials and applicable charges. Payment terms will be shown on the invoice.

Additional work or changes requested by the customer must be approved and will be billed separately. Past-due balances may be subject to a 5% late fee for each 30-day period they remain unpaid.

3. Property Authorization

The customer confirms that they own the property where the work is performed or are authorized by the property owner to approve the work.

4. Permits and Inspections

Permit and inspection costs are included only when specifically stated. Lake Effect Electric LLC will perform its work in accordance with applicable electrical codes and approved plans.

5. Existing Conditions

Lake Effect Electric LLC is not responsible for concealed, unsafe, damaged, or non-code-compliant conditions that could not reasonably be identified before work began. Correcting these conditions will be treated as additional work.

6. Scheduling and Delays

Project schedules may be affected by inspections, material availability, weather, site access, customer decisions, customer-supplied materials, other contractors, or conditions outside Lake Effect Electric LLC’s control.

7. Construction Lien

Lake Effect Electric LLC reserves all rights available under Michigan law, including the right to file a construction lien against the property for unpaid labor, materials, or services.

8. Insurance

Lake Effect Electric LLC will maintain appropriate general liability insurance. The customer is responsible for maintaining insurance covering the property and its contents.

9. Legal Fees and Court Costs

If any dispute, claim, lawsuit, or other legal proceeding arises from or relates to this agreement, the electrical work, the project, or either party’s performance or failure to perform, the customer agrees to pay Lake Effect Electric LLC’s reasonable attorney fees, court costs, filing fees, collection expenses, expert-witness fees, and other related legal expenses, to the extent permitted by Michigan law. This provision applies to payment disputes and all other claims or proceedings related to the agreement or project.

10. Photographs and Advertising

The customer grants Lake Effect Electric LLC permission to photograph or record the electrical work and project areas before, during, and after construction. Lake Effect Electric LLC may use these photographs or recordings for advertising, its website, social media, portfolios, and other business-promotional purposes without additional compensation. Lake Effect Electric LLC will not intentionally publish the customer’s name, address, personal information, or identifiable images of individuals without separate permission.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Michigan law. Any legal proceeding related to the work shall take place in Grand Traverse County, Michigan.

12. Acceptance

Approval of the estimate, authorization to begin work, or payment of a deposit constitutes acceptance of these terms.
