MANUFACTURER WARRANTY FOR GOODS / LOWE'S WARRANTY FOR INSTALLATION SERVICES /LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.Customer is entitled to any warranty provided by a manufacturer of the Goods sold under this Contract. The Installer will provide Customer with any manufacturer consumer warranty information accompanying the Goods, and Customer may also obtain such information by contacting Lowe's. Lowe's does not warrant the Goods AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Lowe's does warrant that the Installtion Services will be performed by the installer in a good and workmanlike manner. Lowe's warranty for Installation services shall extend for a period of one year from the earlier of (1) the date the Certificate of Completion is signed by Customer or (2) the date that Lowe's determines that the Installation Services have been completed, or for such greater period as may be re- quired by applicable law governing consumer warranties for workmanship (the "Warranty Period "). LOWE'S WARRANTY THAT THE INSTALLATION SERVICES WILL BE PERFORMED BY THE INSTALLER IN A GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE MANNER DOES NOT COVER, AND LOWE'S WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, ANY DEFECT IN SUCH INSTALLATION SERVICES DUE TO (1) ANY DEFECT, WEAKNESS OR DANGEROUS CONDITION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MOLD, ROT, ASBESTOS OR INFESTATION IN THE PREMISES' STRUCTURE, SUBSTRUCTURE, SUPERSTRUCTURE OR POINTS OF ATTACHMENT, OR OTHER PRE - EXISTING PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD, OR (2) ABUSE, MISUSE, NEGLECT, OR IMPROPER CLEANING. LOWE'S WARRANTY FOR IN- STALLATION SERVICES SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer shall be limited to seeking recourse or remedy exclusively from Lowe's or the Installer (as applicable) and that no affiliate of Lowe's shall have any liability under this Contract. Customer must give Lowe's written notice within the Warranty Period of any warranty claim relating to Installation Services. Customer agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy against Lowe's for a warranty claim is reinstallation in a good an workmanlike manner, including the repair or replacement of any Goods if and to the extent resonably necessary to correct the defective Installation Ser- vices. CUSTOMER SHALL HAVE NO OTHER REMEDY FOR A WARRANTY CLAIM, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION REMEDY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, LOSS OR DAMAGE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN REASONABLY MITIGATED, OR LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY ACTS OF GOD. IN NO EVENT SHALL LOWE'S BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES (SUCH AS, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, AND INJURIES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY), EVEN WHERE LOWE'S HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WHERE, DUE TO OPERATION OF LAW, SUCH DAMAGES CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, THEY ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED IN AMOUNT TO THE PURCHASE PRICE. In connection with any warranty claim, Customer agrees, at no cost to Lowe's or the Installer, to prepare the Premises and the reinstallation area in the manner described in Section 10 of these Terms and Conditions. 12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR CLAIMS COVERED BY M.G.L. c.142A. Most questions or complaints are resolved informally. If Customer has a question or complaint, Customer agrees to contact the Lowe's salesperson whose name appears on this Contract and the manager of the Lowe's store where Customer entered into this Contract. If Customer has a complaint which cannot be resolved informally, The Home Impovement Contractor Law (M.G.L. c.142A) may provide Customer with the right to request arbitration through a private arbitration program approved by the Director of the Office of Consumer Af- fairs and Business Regulation, as an alternative to court action. The same right is not afforded to Lowe's unless the "Notice Regarding Arbitration Agreement for Claims Covered by M.G.L. c.142A" above is signed and dated by Lowe's and the owner. If allowed by statute or applicable law, the arbitrator may award statutory damages and /or reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. If Customer fails to pay Lowe's in accordance with this Contract, Lowe's shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees as provided by N.C. Gen. Stat. Section 6 -21.2 or other applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lowe's and Customer agree that no class action arbitration of any type may be ordered by a Court or arbitrator(s) under this Contract and, in addition, that there shall be no joinder of parties, except for joinder of parties to the transaction covered by this Contract. If a court or arbitrator determines the waiver of the right to class action arbitration or the prohibition of joinder of parties (other than parties to the transac- tion covered by this Contract) to be unenforceable, then the party bringing such action will be required to bring such action in a court of law. 13. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL FOR CLAIMS NOT COVERED BY M.G.L. c.142A. All claims by Customer or Lowe's concerning this Contract which cannot be resolved in- formally, and which are not covered by M.G.L. c.142A or subject to the jurisdiction of a small claims court, shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator under the current applicable rules, procedures and protocols of the American Arbitration Association (as amended). If the dispute falls within the jurisdiction of a small claims court the claimant may, at its option, choose to arbitrate or file a small claims action. Any appeal of a judgment from a small claims court shall be resolved by arbitration as provided herein. Claims to be resolved by binding arbitration include, but are not limited to (1) all claims directly or indirectly related to the signing of this arbitration agreement, the validity or scope of this arbitration agreement, or any attempt to set aside this arbitration agreement, (2) all federal or state law claims relating directly or indirectly to this Contract (including this arbitration agreement), the information Customer gave Lowe's before entering into this Contract and /or any past agreement or agreements between Customer and Lowe's. (3) all counterclaims, cross - claims and third -party claims, (4) all common law claims of any kind including common law claims based upon contract, tort, fraud, or other intention- al torts, (5) all claims based upon a violation of any state or federal constitution, statute or regulation. (6) all claims asserted by Lowe's against Customer, including claims for money damages to collect any sum Lowe's claims Customer owes Lowe's, (7) all claims asserted by Customer individually against Lowe's and /or any of Lowe's employees, agents, directors, officers, shareholders, managers, members, par- ent company or affiliated entities (herein collectively referred to as "related third parties ") or the Installer, including claims for money damages and /or equitable or injunctive relief, (8) all claims asserted on Cus- tomer's behalf by another person, (9) all claims asserted by Customer as a private attorney general against Lowe's, related third parties and /or the Installer, (10) all claims arising from or relating directly or in- directly to the disclosure by Lowe's, related third parties or the Installer of any non - public personal information about Customer, and /or (11) all other claims arising under or related to this Contract whether or not set forth above. Binding arbitration means that Customer waives: (1) any right to a jury trial; (2) any right to bring a lawsuit in a court (other than a small claims court as described above); and (3) any right to seek relief in any other forum or from any other agency. Any claim not decided by a small claims court will be decided by an arbitrator selected by the American Arbitration Association. Lowe's , and Customer agree that binding arbitration provides a simple, cost efficient method to resolve disputes quickly. Lowe's and Customer therefore agree that no class action arbitration of any type may be ordered by a Court or arbitrator(s) under this Contract and, in addition, that there shall be no joinder of parties, except for joinder of parties to the transaction covered by this Contract. If a court or arbitrator de- termines the waiver of the right to class action arbitration or the prohibition of joinder of parties (other than parties to the transaction covered by this Contract) to be unenforceable then this entire arbitration agreement shall be rendered null and void, and the party bringing such action will be required to bring such action in a court of law. _ By agreeing to binding arbitration Customer and Lowe's waive any right to bring or participate in a Class Action lawsuit regarding any claim. How Arbitration Works: Lowe's may demand arbitration by sending written notice to Customer at the address listed in this Contract. Customer may demand arbitration by sending written notice to Lowe's at the following address: Mail code 2ELG, P.O. Box 1000, Mooresville, NC 28115. The arbitration shall be held in the city or county where the Premises are located or in such other convenient location as the Customer and Lowe's may mu- tually agree. Lowe's shall pay the filing, administrative, hearing and arbitrator's fees associated with the arbitration. Customer shall not be required to reimburse Lowe's for these expenses even if Lowe's wins the arbitra- tion. Unless the arbitrator's award specifically provides otherwise, Lowe's and Customer will each be responsible for its own attorneys' fees and other expenses, such as witness and expert witness fees. At the timely request of Customer or Lowe's, the arbitrator will provide a written explanation of the award so long as such requirement is consisent with the rules, procedures and protocols of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The arbitrator's award may be filed with and enforced by any court having jurisdiction. If allowed by statute or applicable law, the arbitrator may award statutory damages and /or resonable attorneys' fees and expenses. If Customer fails to pay Lowe's in accordance with this Contract, Lowe's shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees as provided by N.C. Gen. Stat. Section 6 -21.2 or other applicable law. The parties agree that this arbitration agreement is made in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, but if for any reason the Federal Arbitration Act does not apply, then this arbitration agreement shall be goverened by the laws of the State of North Carolina. 14.

The state defines "Homeowner" as, " Person(s) who owns a parcel on which he/she resides or intends to be, a one or two family dwelling, attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures. A person who constructs more than one home in a two -year period shall not be considered a home owner." The building department for the City of Northampton wants person(s) who seek to use the home owner exemption, to act as their own construction supervisor, to be aware that by doing so you become responsible for compliance with state building codes and • • • lb - • r • - '. , • • - that the building department be called to inspect work at various stages, which include foundation /footings (before backfill), sonotube holes (before pour), a rough building inspection (before work is concealed), insulation inspection (if required) and a final building inspection. The building department requires these inspections before the work is concealed, failure to secure these inspections can result in failure to obtain a certificate of occupancy until the work can be inspected. If the homeowner hires other trades to perform work (electrical, plumbing & gas) the homeowner will be responsible to make sure that the trades hired secure their proper - - -- -- permits- in-conjunction...to_the building_permit_issued,.. that they get their required inspections. Failure of the individual trades to secure the permits and inspections as required can DELAY the project until such time as the proper permits and inspections are made I, understand the above.
