(B) Under Minnesota law, you have the right to pay persons who supplied labor or materials for this improvement directly and deduct this amount from our contract price or withhold the amounts due to them from us until 120 days after completion of the improvement unless we give you a lien waiver signed by persons who supplied any labor or material for the improvement and who gave you timely notice.
Warranties are valid Only if Paid in Full within 10 calendar days from the Date on the Invoice. It is the client's responsibility to be aware of the project status daily, and make sure they are completely satisfied with the work before the crew leaves the site. Any changes after this may result in a new contract and the work being scheduled at a later date.
