Definitional Notes:

According to NEC Article 100, an “outlet” is any point on the wiring system where current is taken to supply utilization equipment.

That definition is not limited to receptacles (wall plugs)—it also includes lighting fixtures, smoke detectors, and hard-wired appliances such as dishwashers or built-in microwaves.

Whenever the NEC requires AFCI or GFCI protection for “outlets,” all electrical devices drawing power in that area must be protected—not just plug-in points.

Any alteration or deviation from the described scope—including Client-requested extras—must be documented in a written, priced, mutually signed change order before work begins.

Verbal agreements are not enforceable and do not modify this contract.

3. Warranty (Express Limited)

(Nothing herein limits non-waivable consumer rights, including the implied warranty of habitability, where applicable.)

This express limited warranty is non-transferable unless Odinson agrees otherwise in writing.

4. Cosmetic Damage Disclaimer

Odinson Electric uses reasonable care, but incidental cosmetic damage that is a normal and unavoidable consequence of electrical work is excluded unless caused by Odinson’s negligence.

“Incidental cosmetic damage” includes, but is not limited to:

• Walls, ceilings, floors, trim, paint, wallpaper, cabinetry, built-ins, baseboards

• Acoustic/drop-ceiling tiles, grid, and suspension materials

will be repaired or compensated in accordance with Section 3.

5. Furniture, Valuables & Client-Supplied Items

Client agrees to remove or secure fragile items, valuables, furniture, and vehicles from work areas before the scheduled start date.

Odinson may move items as a courtesy, but exact placement or condition cannot be guaranteed.

Client indemnifies Odinson against damage to items left in the work zone.

5.1 Client Access & Work Area Restrictions

Active work areas may contain tools, materials, open panels, cords, ladders, and temporary hazards typical of electrical construction.

Client agrees to keep themselves, household members, guests, children, and pets out of marked or active work areas unless escorted by Odinson personnel.

To the extent permitted by SC law, Client assumes risk of injury from entering a work area against instruction or ignoring reasonable barriers or warnings.

6. Utility Usage

Client grants Odinson reasonable use of onsite water and power for tool power and construction uses.

7. Cleaning

Odinson will sweep, vacuum, and wipe down work areas; however, we are not a professional cleaning service.

Deep cleaning, if desired, must be arranged separately, and is not covered under this contract.

8. Safety, Access & Hazard Indemnity

Client must provide clear, safe access to all areas required (attic, crawlspace, panels, etc.).

Odinson is not responsible for delays or added costs due to hazards such as water, mold, pests, structural instability, or excessive debris.

Client agrees to indemnify Odinson, to the extent permitted by SC law, from injury or damage arising from pre-existing hazards beyond Odinson’s control.

Third-Party Presence & Injury Risk:

Client is responsible for supervising occupants, visitors, invitees, and pets.

Odinson does not supervise children or third parties.

Client agrees to keep all non-essential persons away from ladders, tools, open panels, trenches, and other work zones.

To the fullest extent allowed by SC law, Client indemnifies Odinson from claims or injury to such individuals who enter or interfere contrary to instructions.

9. Payment Terms, Enforcement & Permit Control

All payments are due immediately upon completion of the applicable inspection milestone or phase, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

9.1 Deposits

For jobs totaling over $2,000, Odinson Electric may require a deposit between 35% and 60% of the contract price, or the full cost of materials (whichever is greater), at Odinson’s discretion.

If special-order materials or other circumstances exceed the standard deposit range, the deposit shall equal the cost of such materials.
 

Deposits are applied to the final invoice and are held in Odinson’s dedicated business account.

9.2 Progress Payments (Phased Jobs)

Progress payments are tied strictly to inspection milestones and are not contingent upon utility energization, service restoration, or third-party scheduling.

• Rough-In Inspection Passed → Progress Payment Due
• Permanent Power Inspection Passed → Progress Payment Due
• Separate Change Order Completion → Progress Payment Due
• Final Inspection Passed → Final Payment Due

For permitted projects, an official inspection approval by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) constitutes completion of the applicable milestone for payment purposes, including final and full payment. Additionally, the Client shall not withhold payment disproportionate to the value of any minor incomplete item.

Minor punch-list items, incidental adjustments, or small corrective details (such as cover plates, labeling refinements, trim adjustments, or similar non-life-safety items) shall not delay or withhold payment once the applicable inspection has officially passed.

Such minor items shall be completed:

• Under the workmanship warranty provided in Section 3, where applicable; or
• As a separately documented change order, if outside the original contract scope.

For non-permitted projects, payment shall be due upon substantial completion of the contracted work. Any minor remaining items shall be addressed either under Section 3 (Warranty) or through written change order, as applicable, and shall not delay payment of the agreed contract amount.
 

Definition: “Substantial Completion”
“Substantial Completion” means the stage at which the work is sufficiently complete in accordance with the contract so that it can be used for its intended purpose, notwithstanding minor punch-list items.

9.3 Right to Suspend Work for Nonpayment

Odinson Electric reserves the right to suspend work immediately if any invoice becomes past due.

Suspension due to nonpayment shall not constitute breach of contract. Any resulting delays, remobilization costs, inspection rescheduling fees, administrative expenses, or schedule extensions shall be the responsibility of the Client.

Work will resume only after the account is brought current.
 

9.3.1 Odinson’s Right of Termination for Convenience

Odinson Electric reserves the right to terminate this agreement for convenience upon written notice. In such event, Client shall pay for all labor performed, materials purchased, restocking fees, permit fees, and administrative costs incurred up to the date of termination.

9.4 Mechanic’s Lien & Enforcement Timeline

Pursuant to SC Code §29-5-10 et seq., Odinson Electric may file a mechanic’s lien for unpaid labor or materials.

A lien may be filed within ninety (90) days of the last furnishing of labor or materials.

“Last Furnishing” is defined as the final date Odinson Electric provides legitimate labor or materials required under the contract scope — not the invoice submission date.

Odinson Electric maintains the following standard enforcement timeline. This schedule is provided for transparency and does not waive Odinson’s right to enforce payment earlier as permitted by law:

• Day 0 – Invoice Due
• Day 5 – Late fee assessed (at Odinson’s discretion)
• Day 10 – Additional late fee assessed (at Odinson’s discretion) and written reminder of lien rights
• Day 28 – Demand letter and formal Notice of Intent to File Mechanic’s Lien
• Day 45 (or earlier if warranted) – Filing of Mechanic’s Lien

Odinson Electric reserves the right to accelerate enforcement steps where material breach, repeated delinquency, or substantial financial exposure exists.

9.5 Permit Authority & Contractor-of-Record Rights

Where Odinson Electric pulls or manages electrical permits for a project, Odinson retains control over such permits as contractor of record.

Client acknowledges that electrical permits remain the property of the issuing Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and are maintained by Odinson solely in its capacity as licensed contractor of record.

In the event of contractual breach, including but not limited to nonpayment, Odinson Electric reserves the right to:

• Suspend permitted work
• Withdraw as contractor of record
• Request cancellation or closure of permits in accordance with applicable law
• Notify the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) of contract termination
• Cease coordination with utility providers

Such actions shall not constitute breach where Client is in material default.

Odinson Electric shall not be responsible for delays, re-inspections, loss of occupancy approval, utility restoration delays, or additional costs arising from Client nonpayment or contract termination.

9.6 Late Fees & Interest

Odinson Electric may assess the following late charges at its discretion:

• Five (5) calendar days past due → One-time late fee of five percent (5%) of the past-due invoice amount
• Ten (10) calendar days past due → Additional one-time late fee of five percent (5%) of the past-due invoice amount
• Twenty-eight (28) calendar days past due → Interest accruing at 1.5% per month (18% APR), compounded monthly, until paid in full

Late fees and accrued interest may be included in any lien filing or legal action.

Client agrees to pay all reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, and collection expenses incurred in enforcement of payment.

9.7 Processing Fees

Client acknowledges that payments made by credit or debit card may incur a processing fee equal to 2.9% of the total transaction amount plus $0.35 per transaction, representing the actual merchant service cost charged to Odinson Electric.

This fee is a direct pass-through and is not retained as additional profit.

Clients may remit payment by cash or check, when available, to avoid processing charges.

9.8 Pricing Structure & Profit Allocation

Odinson Electric utilizes a flat-rate pricing model.

Line item pricing includes labor, materials, overhead, warranty reserves, administrative costs, licensing compliance, insurance, operational expenses, and reasonable business profit.

Pricing is not based solely on raw material cost and may not reflect supplier invoice amounts.

Client acknowledges that the agreed contract price represents the total value of the services provided and is not a cost-plus agreement unless expressly stated in writing.

Comparison to supplier invoices, labor hours, or perceived material costs shall not constitute grounds for price adjustment after contract acceptance.

9.9 Material Storage & Delays

If project scheduling is delayed more than fourteen (14) days due to Client or third-party causes, Odinson reserves the right to bill for material storage, remobilization, and price adjustments due to market fluctuation.
Any such charges will be communicated in writing prior to billing when practicable.

10. Quote Validity

Quote valid for thirty (30) calendar days from issue date.

After expiration, pricing may change due to material costs, labor rates, or site conditions; or be re-issued at Odinson's discretion.

11. Force Majeure & Supply Chain Delays

Odinson Electric shall not be liable for delays, increased costs, or schedule adjustments caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God; extreme weather; labor strikes; pandemics; governmental actions; changes in law or regulation; manufacturer shortages; sudden supply chain disruptions or tariff adjustments; delays caused by other contractors; utility company delays; or Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) delays.

In the event of such circumstances, project schedules shall be equitably adjusted. Any material cost increases or unforeseeable supplier pricing changes may be passed through to the Client via written change order.

When acting as a subcontractor under a general contractor, construction manager, or managing agency, Odinson Electric shall not be responsible for project-wide deadlines, liquidated damages, or schedule penalties resulting from delays outside of its direct control as described above.

12. Insurance & Licensing

Odinson maintains general liability and workers’ compensation insurance and will provide certificates upon request.

Client agrees to maintain property insurance covering the premises.

Odinson Electric, LLC holds SC Electrical License(s): #CLM.118301 and RBE2975.

13. Legal / Dispute Resolution

This agreement is governed by South Carolina law.

Parties will first attempt mediation.

If unresolved, jurisdiction and venue lie exclusively in Greenville County, SC.

14. Limitation of Liability & Risk Allocation

14.1 Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by South Carolina law, Odinson Electric’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this agreement, whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount paid to Odinson Electric under the specific contract giving rise to the claim.

This limitation shall apply regardless of the cause of action and shall survive completion of the work.

14.2 Waiver of Consequential Damages

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Odinson Electric shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of use, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunity, delay damages, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

14.3 Severability

If any provision of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed so as to best effectuate the original intent of the parties.

15. Counterparts & Electronic Signature

This agreement may be executed in counterparts and by electronic signature (including Jobber acceptance).

All are deemed originals under the federal E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §§7001–7006).

16. Jobsite Conduct & Safety Compliance

Client acknowledges electrical work involves inherent risk.

Odinson may establish temporary safety rules, including restricting room access, turning off power, or requesting that pets/children be confined.

Client agrees to comply.

If Client or invitees repeatedly ignore instructions or enter restricted zones, Odinson may suspend work until safe conditions exist.

Any delay or added cost may be billed to Client.

To the extent permitted by SC law, Client assumes risk of injury arising from ignoring instructions or entering restricted work zones.

17. Final Closing Agreement
