Default and deduction review
Backcharge / default and cure ask language for the GC.
Backcharge clauses let the GC deduct costs from your payment. The fair version requires notice, proof, and time to fix.
Backcharge / default and cure
Can we add written notice, a reasonable cure period, and backup documentation before any backcharge is deducted from our payment?
Contractor may supplement Subcontractor's work and deduct all related costs from amounts owed to Subcontractor.
Contractor may backcharge only after written notice, a reasonable opportunity to cure, and documentation of reasonable direct costs caused by Subcontractor.
Ask counsel to review if backcharges can hit unrelated payments, include markup or attorneys' fees, or skip notice and cure.
