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.
In this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings set out below. Defined terms are capitalized throughout this Agreement.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Cost | Required Deposit | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Up to $5,000 | 30% | $1,500 on a $5,000 project |
| $5,001 – $15,000 | 35% | $3,500 on a $10,000 project |
| $15,001 – $30,000 | 40% | $8,000 on a $20,000 project |
| $30,001 – $60,000 | 45% | $18,000 on a $40,000 project |
| Over $60,000 | 50% | $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.
The following financing fees apply based on the payment plan selected by the Client at the time of signing the Payment Plan Agreement:
| Plan Term | Financing Fee | Total on $10,000 Base |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Months | None — $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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
The Client represents and warrants to FlexiReno, as of the date of signing and on each date a payment is due, that:
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
By signing any Service Agreement or Payment Plan Agreement with FlexiReno, the Client irrevocably confirms that:
