I still don't get how you can get away with changing your warranty or actually not offering a warranty on your work and being able to charge it as a service call just because you are doing a job incompassing the entire condo development vs a single resident.
I don't know if this helps or not
If I do work for a commercial entity that rents out apartments I will offer a "less" of a warranty then if the private person renting the unit hires me
The reason being is that generally renters are notorious for trashing places, and if the landlord pays to fix it they will just trash it again
It's really to keep me from fixing the same thing over and over @ no charge just to have someone trash it again
So far this has not been an issue, as it's usually rather obvious if it's not my work that has failed, but rather abuse or misuse, and that assesment has not been questioned yet
If it is my work that has failed I do actually extend the warranty on a case by case basis
I just need the "commercial, or income generating" wording in place to CYA (or CMA, as it were)
However if the renter pays to have it fixed, they are much less likely to abuse or misuse
It's the same with certain commerical projects
Some employees are ruthless with the boss' property
Again this has not been an issue, as my commercial accounts seem OK with the fact that some stuff gets trashed and it's not my fault
I still want the wording in there in case some client doesn't see it that way
