4. DIY AND PROTeam ASSEMBLY SERVICES

There are two ways to order Outdoor Office products. Do-It-Yourself (“DIY”) or with ProTeam Assembly Service.

(A) Do-It-Yourself. As the name implies, DIY requires Client to assemble the Product (or hire a third-party contractor directly). If Client orders a DIY building kit, Client is solely responsible for all necessary permits and any applicable architectural or engineering work (unless Client has purchased Outdoor Office’s full Permit Plan Set including engineer-stamped drawings), foundation work, utilities, other site work, and assembly of the Product. Outdoor Office accepts no responsibility or liability related to a DIY assembly, including but not limited to inaccurate estimates from Client’s chosen contractor or poor workmanship by Client’s chosen contractor. Client is solely responsible for complying with all applicable building and safety codes while assembling the Product. Client, and Client’s contractor when applicable, shall contact Outdoor Office directly for a pre-construction phone call to discuss best practices. If Client fails to contact Studio Shed prior to assembly, Client releases Outdoor Office from any liability related to assembly errors.

Client shall also be responsible for minor repairs on site, if necessary. Minor repairs can include, but are not limited to, replacing fixed glass, door adjustment or repair, paint touch-up, cutting of siding or metal, etc.

(B) Outdoor Office Pro Team Assembly Service. If Client purchases Outdoor Office ProTeam Assembly Service (“ProTeam Assembly”), Client authorizes Outdoor Office to do the following on Client’s behalf:

(a) Issue a work order for ProTeam Assembly to be performed by a third-party independent contractor (licensed when legally required) certified by Outdoor Office (“Certified Contractor”), at Outdoor Office’s sole discretion.

(b) Inspect the Certified Contractor’s work should Outdoor Office, in its sole discretion, choose to do so. Client agrees that Outdoor Office has no obligation to perform on-site inspection.

(c) Pay the Certified Contractor after the completion of ProTeam Assembly and after receipt of a completion certificate, signed by Client or on Client’s behalf, stating that the ProTeam Assembly has been satisfactorily completed (the “Certificate of Completion”). When part of a larger project, ProTeam Assembly may be deemed complete prior to the Client receiving a final Certificate of Occupancy.

(d) If ProTeam Assembly Services are canceled after permit approval, Client is subject to additional fees in the amount up to $5,000.00 for Contractor preconstruction time.

(i) When assembly of the Product is complete, the Client and Certified Contractor shall perform a final walk-through inspection and execute a Certificate of Completion. If Client is not available when the assembly is complete, the Certified Contractor shall perform a final walk-through inspection without Client and execute a Certificate of Completion on Client’s behalf. Outdoor Office will rely on the Certificate of Completion (whether signed by Client or the Certified Contractor on Client’s behalf) in paying the Certified Contractor for assembly services.

(ii) The Certified Contractor is an Independent Contractor. CLIENT AGREES THAT THE CERTIFIED CONTRACTOR SHALL PERFORM THE ASSEMBLY ACTING AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, THAT OUTDOOR OFFICE IS ONLY SELLING THE ORDERED PRODUCT AND IS NOT A CONTRACTOR, AND THAT OUTDOOR OFFICE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT OF THE CERTIFIED CONTRACTOR. CLIENT FURTHER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES OUTDOOR OFFICE DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY TIME FRAMES ASSOCIATED WITH ASSEMBLY AND DEFERS TO CONTRACTOR’S SCHEDULE WHEN PLANNING PROASSEMBLY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL OUTDOOR OFFICE GRANT A REFUND OR OTHER COMPENSATION RELATED TO THE PROJECT SCHEDULE. The Outdoor Office Warranty does not cover errors in workmanship by Certified Contractor.

(iii) Services Not Included. Unless otherwise agreed to by Outdoor Office in writing, Client agrees that the Price for ProTeam Assembly does not include architectural/engineering services, permit submittal fees (permit running), permit fees, plan review fees, impact fees, coordinating with Client’s ancillary contractors, foundation work including site preparation or structural changes to the land upon which the Product will be assembled (the “Premises”), or any other services beyond the ordinary and routine assembly of the Product. Certified Contractors may bill Client directly for build sites that are more than 100 feet from the site at which the Product is offloaded (carry distance), or if the access from offload location to the Premises contains steps, hills, or other obstructions.

(d) Travel Distance. Outdoor Office’s network of third-party contractors is limited. Client agrees that additional fees and trip charges may apply for ProTeam Assembly, including lodging, mileage, meals, fuel, or other costs, if the location of the Premises requires a one-way commute of further than 40 miles (“travel distance”) or forty-five (45) minutes (“travel time”). All such additional fees or charges are the sole responsibility of the Client, and shall be paid directly to the Certified Contractor, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Outdoor Office.

(C) Client’s Responsibilities

(i) Client represents and warrants that Client’s Premises is free and clear of debris and vermin, and that any pre-existing physical or environmental hazards or building/zoning code violations are remediated prior to assembly. Clients shall research easements associated with the Premises and shall complete the Site Visit Checklist to the best of their knowledge to notify Outdoor Office in writing of any such restrictions. Failure to identify or communicate these circumstances may result in a delay in project fulfillment or completion. Similarly, can result in additional costs due to storage, permitting, and or design services.

(ii) Client represents and warrants that, if the Product will be assembled on an existing concrete slab, the concrete slab is the correct size, square and level, with variations no greater than one quarter of one inch (1/4″) per every 10 feet. If the slab is not the correct size, square, or is out of level by more than 1/4″, Client shall be billed by the Certified Contractor for any additional labor resulting from such conditions. Otherwise, Outdoor Office may, at its sole discretion, elect to delay assembly of the Product until the concrete foundation is square and level. Outdoor Office or its Certified Contractor are not responsible for defects in existing foundations, for verifying the existing foundation is suitable to support the weight of the Product, or for settling after assembly because the site was not properly compacted or otherwise prepared. Client is responsible for any design, engineering, labor, or material costs associated with connections to existing foundations. Client is also responsible for ensuring that any concrete flatwork, pavers, landscaping material, or dirt outside of the existing foundation is at least eight inches (8”) below top of foundation.

(iii) If assembly will be on a wood-framed floor system, Client represents and warrants that the site/pad is level within six inches. If the area where the Product will be assembled is out of level more than six inches, Client shall be billed by the Certified Contractor to level the site/pad. Outdoor Office or the Certified Contractor may, at their sole discretion, elect to delay assembly of the Product until the site/pad square and level. If a wood-framed floor system is existing prior to assembly of the Product, Client certifies that the wood-framed floor system is the correct size, square and level to no greater than 1/4” deviation per 10 feet of travel. Outdoor Office or its Certified Contractor are not responsible for defects in existing foundations, or for verifying the existing foundation is suitable to support the weight of the Product.

Client may incur additional costs if there are any obstructions or debris within three (3) feet of the shed/foundation or roof location. Additional charges may apply for elevated work, or any other site conditions that impede the Certified Contractor from assembling the Product.

(xii) Client agrees to obtain any permits required by local, state, or federal codes or regulations at its sole cost and expense, and shall keep any permits on display at all times. In the event that the Certified Contractor determines that a building permit is necessary and Client has not obtained a building permit, or Client has obtained a building permit but the building permit is deficient, the Certified Contractor and Outdoor Office may suspend Assembly until the appropriate building permit is issued. Neither Outdoor Office nor the Certified Contractor shall have any obligation to confirm that Client has an appropriate building permit. Client shall bear any costs associated with suspension of work including, but not limited to, de-mobilization and re-mobilization of tools, equipment, or labor, moving or demolishing the Product, or contractor claims for extended general or site conditions.

(xiii) Client agrees that if Client or any of its agents/dependents interferes with, or delays, performance of the ProTeam Assembly, Client may be subject to additional transportation or storage charges, or other resulting charges.

(xiv) Any condition of the Premises that is not in the condition represented or promised by Client, or any other condition that is not as represented, agreed to or promised by Client above, shall be deemed an “Unfit Condition” (as further defined in Section 4(D) below).

(xv) Client is responsible for obtaining any necessary HOA approvals, and is fully liable for any property constraints or restrictions (such as easements, setbacks, building separation, etc.) that may impact the Product location.

Otherwise, Outdoor Office may increase the Price by the cost and reasonable profit to Outdoor Office of having to provide additional products, services, and/or assembly services as a result of the Unfit Conditions. If Outdoor Office elects to increase its Price, Client shall be required to execute a change order reflecting the Price change and shall pay the additional Price upon execution of the change order. In the event that Client does not execute a change order and pay the additional price upon execution of the change order, or if the Client does not correct all Unfit Conditions, then Outdoor Office shall suspend assembly and shall be entitled to retain all monies previously paid by Client and shall have no obligation to restore the Premises to its original condition.

(i) Claims. Client agrees that any claim against Outdoor Office or the Certified Contractor relating to Client’s purchase or the ProTeam Assembly must be made to Outdoor Office or the Certified Contractor within thirty (30) calendar days of the date Client first becomes aware of the issue and not later than twelve months after completion, or such claim will be deemed waived.
