PREAMBLE

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms" or "Agreement") constitute a legally binding contract between FlexiReno Inc. ("FlexiReno", "Contractor", "we", "us", or "our"), a corporation registered and operating in British Columbia, Canada, with its principal place of business in Unit 208 – 2550 Shaughnessy St, Port Coquitlam, BC V3C 3G2, Canada, and the individual, couple, corporation, strata corporation, society, or other legal entity ("Client", "you", or "your") who engages FlexiReno for renovation or construction services and/or enters into a payment plan arrangement.

These Terms govern all services provided by FlexiReno, are incorporated by reference into every Service Agreement and Payment Plan Agreement signed by the parties, and form part of the entire agreement between the parties. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a signed written agreement, the signed written agreement shall prevail only with respect to the specific conflicting provision; all other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.

These Terms have been drafted to comply with and take full advantage of the rights and remedies available to contractors under British Columbia law, including the Builders Lien Act, RSBC 1996, c. 45, the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, SBC 2004, c. 2, the Limitation Act, SBC 2012, c. 13, the Law and Equity Act, RSBC 1996, c. 253, and the Court Order Enforcement Act, RSBC 1996, c. 78.

2. Formation, Binding Effect, and Joint Liability

2.1 When This Agreement Becomes Binding

This Agreement becomes legally binding upon the earliest of: (a) the Client's signature on a Service Agreement or Payment Plan Agreement that incorporates these Terms; (b) the Client's payment of a Deposit to FlexiReno; or (c) FlexiReno commencing work at the Property at the Client's request or with the Client's knowledge and acquiescence. The Client acknowledges that they have had a reasonable opportunity to read these Terms and to seek independent legal advice prior to entering into this Agreement.

2.2 Corporate and Entity Clients

If the Client is a corporation, strata corporation, limited partnership, general partnership, society, or other legal entity, the individual signing on behalf of that entity represents and warrants that they have full authority to bind the entity to this Agreement. The entity and the individual signing shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations under this Agreement. FlexiReno may pursue the entity, the individual, or both, for the full Outstanding Balance without first exhausting remedies against either.

2.3 Multiple Clients — Joint and Several Liability

If two or more individuals or entities sign as Clients (including co-owners, spouses, partners, or co-tenants), each Client is jointly and severally liable for the full Outstanding Balance. FlexiReno may pursue any one or all Clients for the full amount without first pursuing or exhausting remedies against the others. Payment by one Client does not reduce the liability of any other Client except to the extent of the actual payment received.

2.4 Guarantors

Where a guarantor has signed a guarantee in connection with this Agreement, the guarantee is a primary obligation and FlexiReno may pursue the guarantor for the full Outstanding Balance without first pursuing the Client or exhausting any other remedy.

3. Services, Scope of Work, and Work Suspension

3.1 Performance of Services

FlexiReno agrees to perform renovation and construction services as described in the signed Service Agreement using its own skilled tradespeople and, where necessary, vetted subcontractors. No work will commence until the required Deposit has been received and cleared in FlexiReno's bank account. FlexiReno is a licensed contractor operating in compliance with applicable BC building codes and municipal bylaws.

3.2 Right to Suspend Work

FlexiReno reserves the right, without liability to the Client, to immediately suspend or permanently cease all work if: (a) any payment becomes overdue by more than five (5) calendar days; (b) the work site becomes unsafe or inaccessible; (c) the Client is in Default; or (d) FlexiReno determines, in its reasonable judgment, that continuing the work would expose FlexiReno to unacceptable financial, legal, or safety risk. Work will not resume until all outstanding amounts are paid in full and FlexiReno has confirmed in writing that work will recommence. Suspension of work does not suspend the Client's payment obligations.

3.3 Change Orders

Any changes to the scope of work require a signed Change Order before the additional work is performed. Verbal instructions, text messages, emails, or other informal communications requesting scope changes do not bind FlexiReno and do not modify the Project Cost or timeline unless confirmed in a signed Change Order. If FlexiReno performs additional work at the Client's verbal or written request without a signed Change Order, the Client remains liable for the reasonable value of that work on a quantum meruit basis, and FlexiReno retains all lien and enforcement rights in respect of that work.

3.4 Client-Caused Delays

FlexiReno is not responsible for delays caused by the Client, including failure to provide site access, failure to obtain required permits, failure to make timely decisions regarding materials or finishes, or failure to vacate the work area. Client-caused delays do not affect the Client's payment obligations, and FlexiReno may charge additional costs incurred as a result of such delays.

4. Payment Obligations

The Client's obligation to pay all amounts set out in the Service Agreement and Payment Plan Agreement is absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable. Payment obligations are not subject to any right of set-off, counterclaim, abatement, deduction, or withholding, except as expressly required by applicable law. Dissatisfaction with any aspect of the work does not entitle the Client to withhold or reduce any payment; the Client's sole remedy for any deficiency in workmanship is set out in Section 9 of these Terms.

4.1 Deposit — Strictly Non-Refundable

A non-refundable Deposit is required before any work begins or materials are ordered. The Deposit percentage is determined by project size as follows:

Base Project CostRequired DepositExample
Up to $5,00030%$1,500 on a $5,000 project
$5,001 – $15,00035%$3,500 on a $10,000 project
$15,001 – $30,00040%$8,000 on a $20,000 project
$30,001 – $60,00045%$18,000 on a $40,000 project
Over $60,00050%$40,000 on an $80,000 project

The Deposit is strictly non-refundable once paid, regardless of the reason for cancellation, including but not limited to: change of mind, financial hardship, sale of the Property, relationship breakdown, death, or any other circumstance. If the Client cancels after the Deposit is paid but before materials are ordered or work commences, a cancellation and administrative fee of $150.00 plus 15% of the Base Cost will be charged and deducted from any refundable portion of the Deposit. If materials have been ordered or work has commenced, the entire Deposit is forfeited and no refund will be issued under any circumstances. The non-refundable nature of the Deposit is consistent with the BC Court of Appeal's recognition that pre-estimate liquidated damages clauses in construction contracts are enforceable where they represent a genuine pre-estimate of loss: see Shatilla v. Feinstein and related BC authorities.

4.2 Financing Fees

The following financing fees apply based on the payment plan selected by the Client at the time of signing the Payment Plan Agreement:

Plan TermFinancing FeeTotal on $10,000 Base
3 MonthsNone — $0 added$10,000 total
6 Months+15% of Base Cost$11,500 total
12 Months+25% of Base Cost$12,500 total

The Financing Fee is a service charge for deferred payment and is not interest within the meaning of the Interest Act, RSC 1985, c. I-15. It is calculated on the Base Cost, added to the total amount owing, and is non-negotiable and non-refundable once the Payment Plan Agreement is signed. The Client cannot switch to a shorter plan after signing in order to avoid or reduce the Financing Fee. The total Project Cost including the Financing Fee will be clearly stated in the Payment Plan Agreement before signing.

4.3 Monthly Instalments

Following payment of the Deposit, the remaining balance (Project Cost including any Financing Fee, less the Deposit) is divided into equal monthly Instalments as specified in the Payment Plan Agreement. Each Instalment is due on the same calendar day each month as specified in the Agreement. The Client bears sole responsibility for ensuring each payment is received and cleared by FlexiReno on or before the Due Date. Processing delays, bank errors, or technical issues with the Client's payment method do not excuse late payment. If a Due Date falls on a weekend or BC statutory holiday, payment must be received by the preceding business day.

4.4 Accepted Payment Methods

FlexiReno accepts payment by: Interac e-Transfer, certified cheque, bank draft, or cash. Personal cheques are accepted at FlexiReno's discretion. Following any returned or dishonoured payment, FlexiReno may require all future payments to be made by certified cheque, bank draft, or Interac e-Transfer only. FlexiReno does not accept post-dated cheques unless expressly agreed in writing in the Payment Plan Agreement.

5. Late Payment, Non-Payment, Default & Legal Enforcement

STRICT ENFORCEMENT WARNING: The provisions in this Section are strictly and automatically enforced. FlexiReno does not issue informal warnings, extend grace periods beyond those expressly stated below, or agree to payment deferrals. Any Client who fails to pay on time will be subject to the fees, interest charges, lien filings, and legal proceedings described herein without exception or negotiation.

5.1 Late Payment Fee and Contractual Interest

If any payment is not received and cleared by its Due Date, a late payment fee of 5% of the overdue amount is automatically and immediately applied to the Outstanding Balance without further notice. This fee is charged per occurrence (i.e., per missed Due Date) and is not a one-time charge.

In addition to the late payment fee, contractual interest accrues on the entire Outstanding Balance (including all previously applied late fees, NSF fees, and administrative fees) at a rate of 2% per month (24% per annum), compounding monthly, from the Due Date until the date full payment is received and cleared. This rate is authorized under s. 2 of the Law and Equity Act, RSBC 1996, c. 253, which permits parties to contract for interest at any agreed rate. The Client acknowledges that 24% per annum is a commercially reasonable rate for a construction payment plan, represents a genuine pre-estimate of FlexiReno's cost of carrying the outstanding debt, and is not a penalty or usurious rate within the meaning of the Criminal Code, RSC 1985, c. C-46, s. 347 (which applies only to rates exceeding 60% per annum).

Interest awarded by a court on an unpaid judgment will accrue at the rate prescribed by the Court Order Interest Act, RSBC 1996, c. 79, in addition to any pre-judgment contractual interest accrued under this Agreement.

5.2 NSF and Returned Payment Fee

If any cheque, Interac e-Transfer, or other payment instrument is returned, reversed, or dishonoured for any reason (including but not limited to insufficient funds, account closed, payment stopped, or chargeback), the Client will be charged a returned payment fee of $95.00 per occurrence, in addition to any applicable late payment fees and interest. A returned payment does not constitute payment and the original Due Date obligation remains outstanding. FlexiReno may, at its sole discretion, treat a returned payment as a Default under Section 5.5.

5.3 Administrative Fee for Default Processing

Upon the occurrence of any Default, an administrative fee of $150.00 will be charged to the Client's account to cover FlexiReno's internal costs of processing the Default, preparing demand correspondence, and initiating enforcement procedures. This fee is charged per Default event and is added to the Outstanding Balance. It is a genuine pre-estimate of administrative costs and is not a penalty.

5.4 Demand Notice — Not Required

FlexiReno may, but is not required to, issue a written demand notice to the Client upon Default. Issuance of a demand notice is expressly not a condition precedent to FlexiReno exercising any of its rights under this Agreement, including Acceleration, filing a Builders Lien, or commencing legal proceedings. FlexiReno may proceed directly to any enforcement remedy without prior notice, demand, or warning of any kind. The Client waives any right to receive a demand notice before FlexiReno exercises its enforcement rights.

5.5 Default and Acceleration

Upon the occurrence of any Default, FlexiReno may, at its sole and absolute discretion and without prior notice, immediately declare the entire Outstanding Balance due and payable in full (Acceleration). Upon Acceleration: (a) all remaining Instalments become immediately due; (b) all accrued late fees, interest, NSF fees, and administrative fees become immediately due; (c) the Financing Fee (if applicable) is not reduced or refunded; and (d) FlexiReno may immediately pursue all enforcement remedies set out in this Section without further notice or delay. The Client expressly waives any right to notice of Acceleration beyond what is expressly provided in this Agreement.

5.6 Collection Costs and Full Solicitor-Client Legal Fees

In the event of Default, the Client agrees to pay, as a debt owing to FlexiReno, all costs incurred by FlexiReno in collecting the Outstanding Balance, including without limitation:

  • A collection agency fee of up to 30% of the Outstanding Balance if the account is referred to a licensed collection agency;
  • All legal fees and disbursements on a full solicitor-client (full indemnity) basis — meaning the Client pays 100% of FlexiReno's actual legal costs as billed by FlexiReno's lawyers, not merely the partial contribution that would be awarded on a party-and-party basis under Appendix B of the BC Supreme Court Civil Rules. The Client acknowledges that a full indemnity costs clause in a commercial contract is enforceable in BC: see Gichuru v. Pallai, 2013 BCCA 60, and related authorities;
  • Court filing fees, process server fees, sheriff's fees, and all other costs of litigation in any court or tribunal;
  • Costs of filing, registering, maintaining, and discharging any Builders Lien, including BC Land Title Office fees and any legal fees associated with lien enforcement proceedings;
  • Costs of enforcing any court judgment, including garnishment fees, examination in aid of execution fees, bailiff fees, and any other post-judgment enforcement costs under the Court Order Enforcement Act, RSBC 1996, c. 78;
  • Skip tracing and asset search fees if the Client becomes unreachable or attempts to evade enforcement;
  • Any other reasonable costs incurred in connection with the collection of the Outstanding Balance.

The Client expressly acknowledges that these collection costs are a genuine pre-estimate of FlexiReno's costs, are not a penalty, and are reasonable in the context of a construction payment plan agreement.

5.7 Builders Lien — Automatic Filing Under the Builders Lien Act

The Client acknowledges and agrees that FlexiReno has the right, and expressly intends to exercise that right without further notice or demand, to file a Builders Lien against the title of the Property pursuant to the Builders Lien Act, RSBC 1996, c. 45, for the full value of all work performed, materials supplied, and all amounts owing under this Agreement, immediately upon the occurrence of any Default or at any time within the Lien Period.

Statutory basis: Under s. 20 of the Builders Lien Act, a contractor who has performed work or supplied materials for an Improvement has a lien on the interest of the owner in the land on which the Improvement is situated, to the extent of the amount owing for that work or materials. The lien attaches to the land from the date the first work is performed or materials are supplied, regardless of when it is registered. FlexiReno's lien rights arise by operation of statute and cannot be waived or contracted out of by the Client.

The Client understands that a Builders Lien:

  • Is registered on the title of the Property at the BC Land Title Office and is a public record visible to any person conducting a title search;
  • Prevents the Client from selling, refinancing, transferring, mortgaging, or otherwise dealing with the Property until the lien is discharged, because no title insurer or mortgage lender will complete a transaction with an outstanding lien on title;
  • May trigger default provisions in the Client's existing mortgage, home equity line of credit, or other financing secured against the Property;
  • Can only be discharged by: (a) full payment of the Outstanding Balance and all lien-related costs; (b) the Client paying the disputed amount into court under s. 24 of the Builders Lien Act; or (c) a court order under s. 25 of the Builders Lien Act;
  • Entitles FlexiReno to commence a lien enforcement action in BC Supreme Court under s. 33 of the Builders Lien Act, which may result in a court order for the sale of the Property to satisfy the lien.

The cost of filing and maintaining the lien, including all Land Title Office fees and legal costs, will be added to the Outstanding Balance. The Client waives any right to object to the filing of a Builders Lien on the basis that FlexiReno failed to provide advance notice.

Tenant Clients: If the Client is a tenant, licensee, or does not hold a fee simple interest in the Property, the Client represents and warrants that they have obtained the registered owner's written consent to the renovation work prior to FlexiReno commencing work. If the Client has not obtained such consent, the Client remains personally liable for the full Outstanding Balance and FlexiReno may pursue all remedies against the Client personally, including against any real property owned by the Client anywhere in British Columbia.

Strata Clients: If the Property is a strata lot, the Client acknowledges that a Builders Lien may be filed against the strata lot title and that the strata corporation may have independent rights and obligations under the Strata Property Act, SBC 1998, c. 43, in connection with the lien.

5.8 Legal Proceedings — BC Courts and Tribunals

FlexiReno will commence legal proceedings against any Client who fails to pay the Outstanding Balance in full. FlexiReno will pursue claims through all available legal forums, including:

  • BC Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT): For claims up to $5,000 under the small claims jurisdiction, or up to $35,000 under the general civil jurisdiction, pursuant to the Civil Resolution Tribunal Act, SBC 2012, c. 25;
  • BC Provincial Court — Small Claims Division: For claims up to $35,000 under the Small Claims Act, RSBC 1996, c. 430;
  • BC Supreme Court: For claims of any amount, including claims exceeding $35,000, pursuant to the Supreme Court Act, RSBC 1996, c. 443, and the BC Supreme Court Civil Rules, BC Reg 168/2009. FlexiReno may elect to proceed in BC Supreme Court for any amount where it determines that Supreme Court proceedings are appropriate, including for enforcement of Builders Liens, recovery of full solicitor-client costs, or examination of the Client's assets;
  • Builders Lien enforcement proceedings in BC Supreme Court under s. 33 of the Builders Lien Act, which may result in a court-ordered sale of the Property;
  • Bankruptcy proceedings under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, RSC 1985, c. B-3, if the Client owes more than $1,000 and is unable to pay their debts as they become due, including filing a petition for a receiving order against the Client.

The Client irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia, sitting in the City of Vancouver, and waives any right to object to jurisdiction, venue, or forum on any basis, including under the Court Jurisdiction and Proceedings Transfer Act, SBC 2003, c. 28.

5.9 Post-Judgment Enforcement Under the Court Order Enforcement Act

Upon obtaining a court judgment against the Client, FlexiReno will enforce that judgment using all available mechanisms under BC law, including without limitation those available under the Court Order Enforcement Act, RSBC 1996, c. 78:

  • Wage garnishment (s. 3 COEA): Seizure of a portion of the Client's employment income directly from their employer. Under s. 3 of the COEA, up to 30% of the Client's net wages may be garnished;
  • Bank account garnishment: Seizure of funds held in the Client's bank accounts, including chequing, savings, and investment accounts, by serving a garnishing order on the Client's financial institution;
  • Seizure and sale of personal property: A court bailiff may seize and sell the Client's personal property, including vehicles, equipment, and other assets, to satisfy the judgment;
  • Charging order on real property (s. 86 LTA): Registering the judgment as a charge against any real property owned by the Client in British Columbia under s. 86 of the Land Title Act, RSBC 1996, c. 250, which prevents the Client from dealing with that property until the judgment is satisfied;
  • Examination in aid of execution (Rule 13-4 BCSCR): Compelling the Client to attend court and disclose their assets, income, liabilities, and financial affairs under oath, pursuant to Rule 13-4 of the BC Supreme Court Civil Rules;
  • Contempt of court proceedings: If the Client fails to comply with a court order, including an order to attend an examination in aid of execution, FlexiReno may apply for a contempt order, which may result in fines or imprisonment.

A court judgment against the Client is enforceable for ten (10) years in British Columbia under s. 3 of the Limitation Act, SBC 2012, c. 13, and may be renewed for a further ten (10) years by commencing a new action on the judgment before the limitation period expires. FlexiReno will pursue enforcement for the full duration of the enforcement period if necessary.

5.10 Credit Reporting

FlexiReno reserves the right to report any unpaid debt to one or more Canadian credit reporting agencies, including Equifax Canada Co. and TransUnion of Canada Inc., as permitted by the Personal Information Protection Act, SBC 2003, c. 63, and applicable credit reporting legislation. A negative credit report may significantly and adversely affect the Client's credit score and their ability to obtain mortgages, home equity lines of credit, car loans, credit cards, or other financing in the future. A collection account may remain on the Client's credit report for up to six (6) years from the date of the first delinquency. FlexiReno will not request removal of a negative credit report until the Outstanding Balance is paid in full, including all fees, interest, and costs.

5.11 Evasion of Debt — No Disappearance Clause

The Client expressly acknowledges and agrees that ceasing communication with FlexiReno, changing their phone number, email address, or mailing address, relocating within or outside of British Columbia or Canada, or otherwise attempting to evade or ignore their payment obligations does not extinguish, reduce, suspend, or otherwise affect the debt owed to FlexiReno in any way.

In the event the Client becomes unreachable or attempts to evade enforcement, FlexiReno will, without limitation:

  • Engage a licensed skip tracing service to locate the Client's current address, employer, and assets;
  • Conduct searches of the BC Land Title Office, BC Corporate Registry, BC Assessment Authority, and other public registries to identify real and personal property owned by the Client;
  • Serve legal documents by substituted service as permitted by Rule 4-4 of the BC Supreme Court Civil Rules, BC Reg 168/2009, including service by email, social media, or posting at the Client's last known address;
  • Obtain a default judgment against the Client in their absence under Rule 10-6 of the BC Supreme Court Civil Rules if the Client fails to respond to legal proceedings within the prescribed time;
  • Enforce any BC judgment in any other Canadian province or territory under applicable reciprocal enforcement of judgments legislation, including the Enforcement of Canadian Judgments and Decrees Act, SBC 2003, c. 29;
  • Enforce any BC judgment in foreign jurisdictions where the Client has assets, pursuant to applicable international enforcement mechanisms.

Limitation Period: The basic limitation period under the Limitation Act, SBC 2012, c. 13, s. 6, is two (2) years from the date FlexiReno discovers, or reasonably ought to have discovered, the claim. In the case of a Client who has evaded contact or concealed their whereabouts, the discovery date — and therefore the start of the limitation period — may be significantly delayed. The ultimate limitation period under s. 21 of the Limitation Act is fifteen (15) years from the date the claim arose. FlexiReno will pursue the Outstanding Balance for the full duration of the applicable limitation period.

There is no amount too small for FlexiReno to pursue. Every outstanding balance will be collected in full.

5.12 No Waiver of Rights

FlexiReno's failure to immediately exercise any right or remedy upon Default does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy, whether under this Agreement or at law. FlexiReno may exercise any right or remedy at any time after Default, regardless of any prior delay or forbearance. Acceptance of a partial payment does not waive FlexiReno's right to the full Outstanding Balance, does not create a new payment schedule, and does not waive FlexiReno's right to pursue any enforcement remedy. Any waiver by FlexiReno must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of FlexiReno to be effective.

6. Client Representations and Warranties

The Client represents and warrants to FlexiReno, as of the date of signing and on each date a payment is due, that:

  • They are the registered owner of the Property in fee simple, or have the legal authority and prior written consent of the registered owner to authorize the renovation work and to grant FlexiReno access to the Property;
  • The Property is not subject to any strata bylaw, covenant, easement, right-of-way, heritage designation, or other restriction that would prohibit the renovation work, or if it is, the Client has obtained all required approvals in writing prior to signing the Service Agreement;
  • All information provided to FlexiReno regarding the Property, the scope of work, and the Client's financial circumstances is accurate, complete, and not misleading;
  • The Client has the financial capacity to meet all payment obligations under the Payment Plan Agreement as they fall due;
  • The Client is not aware of any pending insolvency, bankruptcy, creditor proceedings, or financial circumstances that would affect their ability to pay;
  • No other contractor, subcontractor, or supplier has an outstanding lien or claim against the Property that would affect FlexiReno's lien priority;
  • The Client has read and understood these Terms and Conditions in their entirety and has had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice.

If any representation or warranty is false, misleading, or materially incomplete, FlexiReno may immediately terminate the Service Agreement, retain the Deposit in full, and pursue all remedies available under this Agreement and applicable law, including a claim for fraudulent misrepresentation.

7. Client Responsibilities

  • Provide accurate and complete information regarding the Property and scope of work prior to signing the Service Agreement, including disclosure of any known structural issues, hazardous materials (asbestos, lead paint), or pre-existing defects;
  • Obtain all required building permits, electrical permits, plumbing permits, gas permits, strata approvals, landlord consents, heritage approvals, and other authorizations before work commences, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing in the Service Agreement;
  • Ensure the work site is safe, accessible, and free of hazards during agreed working hours, including compliance with WorkSafeBC requirements applicable to the work site;
  • Ensure that all utilities (water, electricity, gas) required for the work are available and operational at the work site;
  • Remove or protect personal property, furniture, valuables, and fragile items from the work area before work commences. FlexiReno is not responsible for damage to items not removed from the work area;
  • Notify FlexiReno immediately and in writing of any concerns regarding workmanship, materials, or safety. Failure to provide timely written notice of a concern may prejudice the Client's warranty rights under Section 9;
  • Make all payments on time as specified in the Payment Plan Agreement;
  • Maintain current and accurate contact information (phone, email, and mailing address) with FlexiReno at all times while any amount is outstanding under this Agreement.

8. Hazardous Materials and Pre-Existing Conditions

The Client is responsible for disclosing any known or suspected hazardous materials at the Property, including asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paint, mould, or other environmental hazards, prior to commencement of work. If hazardous materials are discovered during the course of the work, FlexiReno may suspend work immediately and the Client will be responsible for all costs of remediation, abatement, and testing by a qualified environmental contractor before work can resume. The discovery of hazardous materials does not affect the Client's payment obligations and may result in additional costs under a Change Order.

FlexiReno is not responsible for pre-existing structural defects, code violations, or deficiencies in the Property that are not caused by FlexiReno's work. If pre-existing conditions are discovered that affect the scope or cost of the work, FlexiReno will notify the Client and the parties will execute a Change Order to address the additional work required.

9. Workmanship Warranty and Deficiencies

FlexiReno warrants that all work will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, consistent with the standard of care of a reasonably competent contractor in British Columbia, using materials of reasonable quality as specified in the Service Agreement. Any deficiency in workmanship (not materials selected by the Client) reported in writing within one (1) year of the date of Substantial Completion of the project will be remedied by FlexiReno at no additional cost to the Client, subject to the following conditions:

  • All payments under the Payment Plan Agreement have been made in full and on time — no warranty work will be performed while any amount remains outstanding under this Agreement, including any late fees, interest, or costs;
  • The deficiency is reported in writing (email to [email protected]) within the one-year warranty period, with a description of the deficiency and photographs where possible;
  • The deficiency is caused by FlexiReno's workmanship and not by: Client misuse or abuse; unauthorized modifications by the Client or third parties; normal wear and tear; natural settling or movement of the structure; water ingress caused by the Client's failure to maintain the property; acts of God; or any cause external to FlexiReno's work;
  • The Client provides FlexiReno with reasonable access to inspect and remedy the deficiency within 30 days of the written report.

This warranty is the Client's sole and exclusive remedy for deficiencies in workmanship and is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. The warranty does not cover manufacturer defects in materials, which are subject to the applicable manufacturer's warranty only. FlexiReno will assist the Client in making a manufacturer warranty claim where applicable.

Nothing in this Section affects FlexiReno's obligations under the Homeowner Protection Act, SBC 1998, c. 31, and the Homeowner Protection Act Regulation, BC Reg 29/99, where applicable to the work performed.

10. Permits, Inspections, and Regulatory Compliance

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Service Agreement, the Client is responsible for obtaining all required building permits, electrical permits, plumbing permits, gas permits, and other regulatory approvals from the City of Vancouver, the relevant municipality, Metro Vancouver, or other applicable authority having jurisdiction. FlexiReno may assist the Client in identifying required permits but is not responsible for obtaining them unless expressly agreed in writing and included in the Project Cost.

If FlexiReno is required to stop work due to the Client's failure to obtain required permits or approvals, the Client remains liable for all payment obligations under the Payment Plan Agreement and for any additional costs incurred by FlexiReno as a result of the work stoppage, including demobilization and remobilization costs.

All work performed by FlexiReno will comply with the applicable edition of the BC Building Code and the National Building Code of Canada, as adopted by the relevant municipality. The Client is responsible for ensuring that any work they perform or direct others to perform in connection with the project also complies with applicable codes and bylaws.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, FlexiReno's total aggregate liability to the Client for any and all claims arising out of or related to the services provided under this Agreement shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by the Client to FlexiReno under the applicable Service Agreement as of the date the claim arises.

FlexiReno shall not be liable for any: (a) indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages; (b) loss of use, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of rental income, or loss of enjoyment of property; (c) damage to the Client's personal property not caused by FlexiReno's gross negligence or wilful misconduct; (d) delays caused by the Client, third parties, permit authorities, material suppliers, or circumstances beyond FlexiReno's reasonable control.

Nothing in this Section limits FlexiReno's right to collect the full Outstanding Balance from the Client, including all fees, interest, and costs.

12. Force Majeure

FlexiReno shall not be in breach of this Agreement for any delay or failure to perform renovation services caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God; earthquake; fire; flood; extreme weather events; supply chain disruptions; material shortages; labour disputes or strikes not involving FlexiReno's own employees; government orders, regulations, or public health directives; utility failures; or any other event of force majeure. FlexiReno will notify the Client as soon as practicable of any force majeure event and its expected duration. Force majeure does not affect or suspend the Client's payment obligations in any way. The Client remains obligated to make all payments on their Due Dates regardless of any force majeure event affecting FlexiReno.

13. Termination by FlexiReno

FlexiReno may terminate the Service Agreement immediately and without liability to the Client upon written notice if: (a) the Client is in Default; (b) the Client provides false or misleading information; (c) the work site is unsafe and the Client fails to remedy the unsafe condition within 48 hours of written notice; (d) the Client interferes with, obstructs, or threatens FlexiReno's crew; (e) the Client fails to obtain required permits within a reasonable time; or (f) FlexiReno determines, in its reasonable judgment, that continuing the work would expose FlexiReno to unacceptable financial, legal, or safety risk.

Upon termination by FlexiReno: (i) the Deposit is forfeited in full; (ii) the Client is immediately liable for the value of all work performed and materials supplied up to the date of termination, calculated on a quantum meruit basis (the reasonable value of the work), which may exceed the pro-rated Project Cost; (iii) all amounts owing under the Payment Plan Agreement are immediately due and payable; and (iv) FlexiReno may file a Builders Lien without further notice within the Lien Period.

14. Dispute Resolution

The parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute arising from this Agreement through good-faith written negotiation for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days from the date one party provides written notice of the dispute to the other. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may pursue formal legal proceedings without further obligation to negotiate.

Nothing in this Section prevents FlexiReno from: (a) filing a Builders Lien at any time within the Lien Period; (b) seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court without prior notice where FlexiReno determines that immediate relief is necessary to protect its interests; or (c) commencing legal proceedings to collect the Outstanding Balance at any time after Default.

The Client waives any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding against FlexiReno. All disputes must be brought on an individual basis.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement is governed exclusively by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. The parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia, sitting in the City of Vancouver, for the resolution of all disputes arising from or related to this Agreement. The Client irrevocably waives any objection to the jurisdiction, venue, or convenience of BC courts under the Court Jurisdiction and Proceedings Transfer Act, SBC 2003, c. 28, or otherwise.

If the Client is located outside of British Columbia, this Agreement remains fully enforceable. FlexiReno may enforce any BC court judgment in any other Canadian province or territory under the Enforcement of Canadian Judgments and Decrees Act, SBC 2003, c. 29, or in any foreign jurisdiction pursuant to applicable international enforcement mechanisms.

16. General Provisions

  • Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
  • Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the signed Service Agreement and Payment Plan Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede all prior negotiations, representations, warranties, and understandings, whether oral or written.
  • No Oral Modifications: No amendment to this Agreement is binding unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of FlexiReno. Verbal promises, text messages, or emails from FlexiReno employees or representatives do not modify these Terms unless confirmed in a signed written amendment.
  • Assignment: FlexiReno may assign this Agreement, including the right to collect the Outstanding Balance, to any third party (including a collection agency, debt purchaser, or successor business) without the Client's consent. The Client may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without FlexiReno's prior written consent.
  • Notices: Notices under this Agreement may be delivered by email to the address provided by the Client, by registered mail to the Client's last known address, or by personal delivery. Notices are deemed received on the date of email transmission (with read receipt or delivery confirmation), two (2) business days after mailing by registered mail, or on the date of personal delivery.
  • Waiver: No failure or delay by FlexiReno in exercising any right under this Agreement constitutes a waiver of that right. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of FlexiReno.
  • Headings: Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
  • Language: This Agreement is written in English. If translated into any other language, the English version prevails in the event of any inconsistency or dispute.
  • Counterparts and Electronic Signatures: This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which constitutes an original. Electronic signatures are binding and enforceable under the Electronic Transactions Act, SBC 2001, c. 10.
  • Time of the Essence: Time is of the essence with respect to all payment obligations and all deadlines set out in this Agreement.

  • They agree to be legally bound by all terms herein without reservation or qualification;
  • They are entering into this Agreement voluntarily, without duress, and with full understanding of its legal effect;

Fine Print — Mandatory Disclosure & Plain-Language Summary of Key Terms

(a) Non-Refundable Deposit: The Deposit is non-refundable under all circumstances once materials have been ordered or work has commenced, regardless of the reason for cancellation — including change of mind, financial hardship, relationship breakdown, sale of property, or death. If you are not certain you wish to proceed, do not pay the Deposit.
(b) Financing Fee is Locked In: Once you sign the Payment Plan Agreement, the Financing Fee (15% for 6 months, 25% for 12 months) is fixed and cannot be waived, reduced, or avoided by switching to a shorter plan. You are committing to the total Project Cost as stated in the Agreement.
(c) Late Fees Compound Automatically: A 5% late fee is applied immediately on any missed payment. Interest then accrues at 2% per month (24% per annum) on the entire Outstanding Balance, compounding monthly, under the Law and Equity Act (BC). There is no cap on the total amount of late fees and interest that can accrue. The longer you delay, the more you owe.
(d) Builders Lien Will Be Filed Without Warning: If you miss a payment, FlexiReno will file a Builders Lien on your property title at the BC Land Title Office under the Builders Lien Act (RSBC 1996, c. 45) without any further warning. This lien will prevent you from selling or refinancing your home until it is discharged. Discharging the lien requires paying the full Outstanding Balance plus all lien filing and legal costs. A lien enforcement action in BC Supreme Court can result in a court-ordered sale of your home.
(e) You Pay Our Legal Fees in Full: If FlexiReno retains a lawyer to collect what you owe, you are responsible for 100% of those legal fees on a solicitor-client (full indemnity) basis — not a partial contribution. This is enforceable in BC: see Gichuru v. Pallai, 2013 BCCA 60. Legal fees in BC can be substantial. Pay on time and avoid this cost entirely.
(f) Ignoring Us Makes It Worse: If you stop responding to FlexiReno's communications, we will engage skip tracers, conduct BC Land Title and Corporate Registry searches, and obtain a default court judgment against you in your absence under Rule 10-6 of the BC Supreme Court Civil Rules. A default judgment is just as enforceable as a contested judgment. We will then garnish your wages (up to 30% of net pay under the Court Order Enforcement Act), seize your bank accounts, and register the judgment against any property you own. Ignoring the debt does not make it go away — it makes it significantly more expensive.
(g) Credit Bureaus Will Be Notified: Unpaid debts will be reported to Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada. A collection account can remain on your credit report for up to six (6) years and will significantly affect your ability to obtain a mortgage, car loan, or credit card.
(h) Joint and Several Liability: If two or more people signed the Agreement, each person is individually responsible for the full amount owing. FlexiReno can pursue any one of you for the entire Outstanding Balance without first pursuing the others.
(i) No Verbal Deals: No FlexiReno employee, contractor, or representative has authority to modify these Terms verbally. If someone tells you that a fee will be waived or a payment can be deferred, get it in writing signed by an authorized FlexiReno representative — otherwise it is not binding on FlexiReno.
(j) Judgment Lasts 10 Years and Can Be Renewed: A court judgment against you in BC is enforceable for 10 years under the Limitation Act (SBC 2012, c. 13) and can be renewed for a further 10 years. FlexiReno will pursue enforcement for as long as legally permitted.
(k) Bankruptcy Does Not Automatically Discharge This Debt: While a discharge in bankruptcy may release you from certain debts, FlexiReno's claim may survive bankruptcy in certain circumstances, including if the debt arose from fraud or misrepresentation. FlexiReno will file a proof of claim in any bankruptcy proceedings involving the Client.
(l) Independent Legal Advice: FlexiReno strongly recommends that you obtain independent legal advice from a BC-licensed lawyer before signing any agreement. By signing without obtaining legal advice, you confirm that you have voluntarily waived that opportunity and that you understand and accept all terms herein.
