No Sub Stop-Work Right for Non-Payment
Payment and suspension terms omit a sub stop-work right for non-payment.
What MillworkShield looks for
This is the business risk behind the clause.
Risk
Sub must keep working without a contractual suspension lever and invoke statute separately.
Cleaner ask
Add suspension right after unpaid undisputed amounts plus demob/remob recovery.
Reference context
AIA A401 §4.7 grants stop-work rights; TX Property Code §28.009 supplies a statutory path.
