• Material costs change significantly between the estimate and project start date

Any changes to pricing will be communicated and approved by the customer before additional work is performed.

4. Scheduling & Access

Project timelines are estimates and may be affected by weather conditions, material availability, permit approvals, subcontractor schedules, or unforeseen circumstances. We will communicate any significant delays promptly.

The customer agrees to provide reasonable access to the work site during agreed-upon hours. If access is restricted or delayed by the customer, the project timeline may be adjusted accordingly.

5. Payment Terms

Payment terms are outlined in the individual project agreement or estimate provided to the customer. Standard terms include:

• Deposit: A deposit may be required before work begins, as specified in your project agreement
• Progress Payments: For larger projects, payments may be scheduled at agreed-upon milestones
• Final Payment: The remaining balance is due upon completion and final walkthrough of the project
• Accepted Methods: We accept checks, credit/debit cards, ACH transfers, and other methods as agreed upon

Late payments may be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance past 30 days.

6. Warranty & Workmanship

AJ Legacy stands behind our work. We provide a one-year workmanship warranty on all labor performed, beginning from the date of project completion. This warranty covers defects in workmanship under normal use and conditions.

This warranty does not cover:

• Damage caused by the homeowner, tenants, or third parties
• Normal wear and tear
• Damage resulting from natural disasters, flooding, or acts of God
• Issues arising from modifications made by others after project completion
• Manufacturer defects in materials (covered by the manufacturer's warranty)

7. Changes to Scope of Work

Any changes to the agreed-upon scope of work must be discussed and approved in writing (email or formal change order). Additional work requested during the project may result in adjusted pricing and timeline. AJ Legacy will provide updated cost estimates before proceeding with any changes.

8. Cancellation & Refunds

Customers may cancel a project prior to the start of work. Cancellation policies are as follows:

• Before work begins: Full refund of any deposit, minus costs already incurred for materials ordered or permits obtained
• After work has begun: Customer is responsible for payment of all work completed to date, plus any non-returnable materials purchased for the project

AJ Legacy reserves the right to cancel or suspend a project if payment terms are not met or if site conditions present safety hazards.

9. Limitation of Liability

AJ Legacy LLC is fully licensed and insured. However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the total amount paid by the customer for the specific project in question.

AJ Legacy shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of use, loss of profits, or damage to personal property not directly related to our work.

• Presence of asbestos, lead paint, or other hazardous materials
• Known structural issues or previous unpermitted work

AJ Legacy will take reasonable precautions to protect your property during construction. Some disruption, dust, and noise are inherent to construction work.

13. Dispute Resolution

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri. Any legal action shall be brought in the courts of Jackson County, Missouri.
