Service Requests

Submitting a website form, email, text message, telephone message, or voicemail does not create a contract and does not guarantee that an appointment or project has been accepted.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing:

  • Material prices and availability may change.
  • Work not specifically included in the written scope is excluded.
  • Permit fees, inspection fees, utility charges, engineering fees, and third-party costs are excluded unless expressly included.
  • Estimates may be revised if concealed conditions, inaccurate information, additional requirements, or changes to the project are discovered.
  • An estimate is not a guaranteed final price unless it is expressly identified as a fixed-price agreement.

A proposal becomes binding only when it is accepted in the manner stated in the proposal and any required deposit has been received.

If these Terms conflict with a signed proposal, work order, or project contract, the signed project document will control.

6.

A customer may authorize IB Electric Inc. to perform work by:

  • Signing a written or electronic proposal

The person authorizing the work represents that they own the property or are legally authorized by the property owner to approve the work.

The customer is responsible for obtaining any required permission from a landlord, property owner, property manager, condominium association, homeowners association, municipality, or other controlling party.

13.

Materials and Product Availability

If a specified product becomes unavailable, IB Electric Inc. may recommend a reasonably comparable replacement.

Customer approval will be obtained when a substitution materially affects:

  • Price
  • Appearance
  • Performance
  • Specifications
  • Project scope

Special-order, customized, or nonreturnable materials may require advance payment and may not be refundable after they are ordered.

Nothing in these Terms waives any payment, collection, or construction-lien rights available under applicable law.

15.

Electronic Payments and Chargebacks

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers.

The customer represents that they are authorized to use the selected payment method.

The customer agrees to contact IB Electric Inc. and make a reasonable effort to resolve a billing concern before submitting a chargeback or payment dispute concerning properly authorized and completed work.

17.

Completion of Work

A project is substantially complete when the electrical work, or the completed portion of the work, can be used for its intended purpose, even if minor corrective, inspection, administrative, or punch-list items remain.

The customer must notify IB Electric Inc. promptly of any alleged incomplete or defective work.

IB Electric Inc. must be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect and correct qualifying workmanship issues.

Except in a genuine emergency, the customer should not allow another contractor to alter or repair disputed work before IB Electric Inc. has been given a reasonable opportunity to inspect it.
