[quote=Anonymous]I’m preparing to get new windows, and in the contract for an installer I’m considering, it says that “contractor shall not be responsible for pre-existing conditions of the home, nor liable for claims of incidental or consequential damage.” I get the part about the pre-existing conditions, but how am I supposed to interpret the part about damage? Would you take this to mean that if a worker breaks one of the windows on the way out, or accidentally burns down my house, or does some other damage to my home whether intentional or not, that the contractor bears no responsibility for the damage? That’s how I’m reading it, but it’s hard to imagine how anyone would agree to a clause like this. What do you think? Is this a typical clause for a contractor to put in a contract? Would appreciate anyone’s insight or interpretation. Other than this I like this contractor very much, but am reluctant to sign the contract given this clause. [/quote]
