Change your spam controls and whitelist ken@kirschenbaumesq.com ********************** New Jersey updated Cancellation Form / Does subcontractor’s license cover you June 30, 2023 ********************** New Jersey updated Cancellation Form ********************* New Jersey residential customers need a Cancellation Form [the 3 day cancellation] that must contain specific provisions to be compliant. We previously did not believe the law applied because it's for Retail Installment Contracts and we did not consider the on-going service agreement to be in that category. Cases in NJ now convince us that we need to change the Cancellation Form. The Cancellation Form will be a little more difficult to fill out for each sale because the seller will have to insert a description of the goods or services and will also have to insert any amount paid when the contract was signed; this in addition to the other information customarily required on the Cancellation Notice. The new Cancellation Form will be provided with the Residential All in One. Anyone who has purchased a Residential All in One for New Jersey within a year can get the updated Cancellation Form without charge by contacting K&K’s Contract Administrator Eileen Wagda at 516 747 6700 x 312 or EWadga@Kirschenbaumesq.com ******************** Does subcontractor’s license cover you ********************** Ken Is there a way to include terms that explain that we use subcontractors to provide products and services we are not licensed to provide such as, fire sprinkler, fire extinguisher, electrical, etc? Matt ************************ Response ************************ Sure, and while you're at it you can add that if you decide to do customer's legal work or become their medical doctor you will be sure to find a licensed person to do the work....... You are not a general contractor and should not be contracting to perform work you aren't licensed for like fire protection, electrical, plumbing. You contract can certainly say that your work is going to require other trades and that its customer's responsibility to engage those contractors directly. If you present yourself as a GC then you can engage other trades but you'd need to comply with whatever laws apply to a GC. The general rule is that if you are contracting for the service then you need to be one who is licensed. If you subcontract licensed work then the subcontractor needs to be licensed too. The key is making sure you know what activities require a license; then all you need to do is comply. *************************** STANDARD FORM AGREEMENTS: To order up to date Standard Form Alarm / Security / Fire and related Agreements click here: www.alarmcontracts.com *************************** CONCIERGE LAWYER SERVICE PROGRAM FOR THE ALARM INDUSTRY - You can check out the program and sign up here: https://www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/concierge or contact our Program Coordinator Stacy Spector, Esq at 516 747 6700 x 304. *********************** ALARM ARTICLES: You can always read our Articles on our website at www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/alarm-articles updated daily ************************* THE ALARM EXCHANGE - the alarm industries leading classified and business exchange - updated daily. https://www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/alarm-exchange ************************* Wondering how much your alarm company is worth?
