If the Customer elects to suspend work under this agreement, the Customer shall, in writing, notify 1st Choice Electrical Service at least one (1) week before the suspension date; this notification shall indicate the anticipated suspension period. 1st Choice Electrical Service shall advise the Customer of any price adjustment resulting from the planned suspension of the work. The price adjustment will be based on 1st Choice Electrical Service’s ability to reasonably relocate manpower, materials and equipment during the suspension period.

4. Warranty:
1st Choice Electrical Service warrants the labor and material that it supplies for one (1) year from the completion of its work. This warranty is separate from any manufacturer’s equipment warranty.

The liability of 1st Choice Electrical Service to the Customer, whether under its warranty, this agreement, or negligence, shall not exceed the cost of repair or replacement, and upon expiration of said one (1) year, all such liability shall terminate.
Unless expressly stated within the scope of 1st Choice Electrical Service’s work, 1st Choice Electrical Service does not warrant the fitness or suitability of the equipment on which the services are performed or any modification thereof for any specific application or use. The foregoing shall constitute the exclusive remedy of the Customer and the sole liability of 1st Choice Electrical Service. In no event shall 1st Choice Electrical Service be liable for any loss or damage from its failure to discover or repair latent defects or defects inherent in the design of the equipment.
The said warranty does not affect any separate express warranty of the manufacturer of equipment furnished by 1st Choice Electrical Service, nor the equipment on which work was performed.
5. Limits of Liability:
In the unlikely event of failure to perform its obligations, 1st Choice Electrical Service’s liability is limited to the cost of repair or replacement of the equipment, at 1st Choice Electrical Service’s option, and such shall be Customer’s sole remedy. Under no circumstances, whether based on contract, indemnity, tort (including negligence), warranty or otherwise, will 1st Choice Electrical Service be responsible for any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary or consequential damages, loss of use, loss of profits, increased operating or maintenance expense, or claims of Customers.
