Terms and Conditions

1. Terminology: “You” includes each owner of the property or the person or organization for whom we agree to carry out work. “We/Us/Our” refers to Pando Plumbing Inc. “Services” refers to anything offered by Pando.

2. BID: A bid is Pando Plumbing Inc’s agreement to perform all work specified for a fixed price. If the actual cost of the work performed is more or less than the bid, the owner remains obligated only to pay the amount of the bid. Extra work which you may request, or which may be required by public authorities, will be invoiced in accordance with written change orders or, if no change order is prepared, then on a time and materials basis.

3. ESTIMATE: An estimate is Pando Plumbing’s estimation of the eventual cost of a project. It is not a fixed price. Estimates are given when the nature or scope of work may be uncertain due to concealed conditions, difficulty in assessing problems to be encountered or resolved, or difficulty in determining the means or methods of best accomplishing the work. The actual cost of the work may differ greatly from the estimate. If/when this happens, the owner shall be obligated to pay the actual cost of the work. Pando will make every effort to notify the owner if the actual cost of the work exceeds the estimate. This notification will be verbal but it may or may not be possible to quote a firm cost of completion at this time. We may propose a change order, a revised estimate, or a bid. Regardless of whether our contract is based upon a bid or an estimate, if you request that we cease work at any time, you shall nonetheless remain obligated to pay for all labor and materials supplied by us and the price will be fixed as an amount as specified in the contract, or an amount based upon a time and materials basis, whichever is higher. 

4. CONTRACT: No agreement, whether it is designated as a bid, an estimate, a proposal, or otherwise, shall become a contract binding upon Pando Plumbing, Inc. until it is both signed by you and accepted in writing by an employee of Pando Plumbing, Inc., who has the authority of a general manager.

5. CHANGE ORDERS OR EXTRA WORK: We are obligated only to perform the specified scope of work. You may request changes or modifications in the scope of the work. These requests may be agreed upon orally or in writing. If agreed upon in writing, the terms of the written change order shall be binding on the parties. However, unless otherwise agreed in writing, all extra labor and materials shall be billed on a time and materials basis.

6. Invoices & Payment: The Price shall be as indicated on invoices provided by the Contractor to the Client in respect of Goods/services supplied. Unless otherwise agreed in writing payment for products and services shall be made in full on the day the contract/invoice is signed. We reserve the right to request full payment in advance at our discretion. Payment is not made until funds clear the bank.

Payments not received in full on the day of service are subject to a late fee and or Interest. Unpaid invoices after 30 days are subject to collections. Pando Plumbing, Inc. may charge interest on any amount owing after the due date at the rate of 2.5% per month or part month.
Payment will be made by cash on delivery, or by check, or by credit card (subject to a processing fee of the transaction value), or by any other method as agreed to between the Client and the Contractor.

11. Scheduling: You are responsible for keeping a mutually-agreed upon schedule for the work. If Pando Plumbing, Inc. arrives at the job site to find it not ready or by the owner not being present at the site, we reserve the right to charge a cancelation fee up to $100.00 to cover administration and handling fees. 

12. Cancellation: If you need to cancel (or rearrange) your booking, you must notify us (preferably by telephone) by the end of the working day before the scheduled booking. If you cancel your instructions more immediately prior to work being carried out, or materials being supplied, you will be liable for the cost of any time and materials incurred by us, together with the profit that would have been made by us, in accordance with the original instructions.

13. WARRANTY: Pando Plumbing, Inc. warrants that all labor, materials and taxes will be paid for, and there will be no potential lien claimants upon the completion of the work and final payment by the owner. Pando Plumbing, Inc. further warrants that all work will be performed in a commercially reasonable manner and that there are no defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty shall be void if a person or firm other than Pando Plumbing, Inc. performs or reperforms any work identified within the original scope of the work of this contract with Pando Plumbing, Inc.

14. Satisfaction: Pando Plumbing, Inc. is committed to providing professional, top quality service to every customer. If, after we have carried out the work, you are not wholly satisfied with our service(s) you must provide us with written notice within 3 months. You must allow us, and our insurers, the opportunity to both inspect and carry out remedial work where appropriate. If you fail to notify us, as outlined above, then we will not be liable in respect of any defects in the work carried out.
The guarantee will become null & void if the work completed by us is:

  •  Subject to misuse or negligence.
  • Repaired, modified or tampered with by anyone other than a Pando Plumbing, Inc. employee. We will accept no liability for, or guarantee suitability of materials supplied by you & will accept no liability for any consequential damage or fault.

Any non-related faults arising from recommended work which has not been undertaken by us will not be guaranteed.

15. CORRECTION OR COMPLETION OF WORK: We shall have the irrevocable right to perform all corrective or pick-up work identified by you unless we decline to do so following receipt from you of a specific list of corrective or pick-up work and a reasonable period of time within which to perform the work. You shall not contract with any alternative contractor for the performance or completion of work within the scope of this agreement, nor shall you occupy or use our work until and unless we shall have been provided the notice and opportunity stated above. If you do contract with an alternative contractor to perform the pick-up work or otherwise correct or complete the project, without first affording us the above-described opportunity to do so, or if you commence to use or occupy the space in which we performed the work, you then agree to accept all work and materials “as is” and thereby waive any and all claims, of whatever nature, against Pando Plumbing, Inc. for any defects in performance, including labor, material, and warranty claims of any kind. 

16. Default and Remedies: Payment is due as required by your contract, and not later than the date of service or completion.

In the event of default payment Pando reserves the right to exercise any rights it has under the Utah Mechanics Lien statute. Interest on overdue invoices shall accrue from the date when payment becomes due daily until the date of payment at a rate of 2.5% compounding per calendar month and shall accrue at such a rate after as well as before any judgment. In addition, a $50.00 returned check fee may be assessed for any dishonored checks. Reasonable attorney fees and costs of collection shall be added to the balance due and shall be included in any award or judgment for non-payment.
