ESCALATION: PROTECTING OUR CUSTOMERS AND MANAGING COSTS EFFECTIVELY

At Legacy Barn Company (LBC), we prioritize transparency and fair practices when it comes to managing costs and ensuring customer satisfaction. To address potential increases in materials costs that may be beyond our control, we have implemented an escalation clause to protect both parties involved. We want to ensure that you have a clear understanding of how this clause works and its impact on your project. Please review the following details:

Relief for Additional Costs:

The customer acknowledges and agrees that LBC reserves the right to seek relief for any additional costs incurred due to an increase in materials. In the event of such an increase, the customer may be billed for the additional cost at the time of delivery or pickup of materials or through a separate invoice issued as a back charge after completion of delivery or pickup.

Absorption of Additional Costs:

Legacy Barn Company agrees to absorb any additional cost increase up to a maximum of $200 above the expected amount during the formulation of the estimate. This means that we will cover any cost increase within this threshold.

Overages:

Any amount exceeding the $200 threshold, which is the difference between the Supplier’s Sales Order Acknowledgment (received by LBC after placing the “Purchase Order”) and the Supplier’s Invoice total amount (received by LBC when materials have left the yard), will be considered an “overage.” Our representative will communicate the overage amount to the customer and seek relief accordingly. If the overage exceeds the $200 amount covered by LBC, it is the customer’s responsibility to pay the remaining balance of the overage.

Payment Terms:

The customer acknowledges and agrees to fully pay the overage amount as defined in this clause. It is important to emphasize that timely payments are crucial. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE The customer will have no more than 5 days to make the necessary payments to cover the overages.

Superseding Clauses:

When the escalation clause is in effect, it supersedes any related clause or condition of the Universal Terms of Service (UTS). In cases of conflict between this escalation clause and other clauses, terms, or conditions, the escalation clause shall prevail. It remains in effect until disclosed and no longer applicable on LBC’s documentation.

We want to assure you that implementing this escalation clause is necessary to manage unexpected cost increases effectively and maintain our commitment to delivering quality products and services. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these terms.

If you have any questions or require further clarification regarding the escalation clause or any other aspect of our services, please do not hesitate to contact us. We value your partnership and look forward to serving you with the utmost professionalism and transparency.

Thank you for choosing Legacy Barn Company as your trusted provider.

CODE AND PERMIT.

The customer acknowledges and agrees to the following regarding local building codes and permits:

Research and Compliance: It is the customer’s responsibility to thoroughly research and understand all local building codes and criteria applicable to their project. This includes material specifications, building specifications, limitations, licensures, and any other regulatory requirements.

Obtaining Approval: Before signing the agreement, the customer must obtain approval from the jurisdiction where the project is located. This involves submitting all required code criteria and obtaining the necessary permits. The customer should ensure that all relevant code and regulatory requirements are met.

Code Compliance Upgrades: If code compliance upgrades are necessary based on the review of the submitted code criteria, additional charges may apply. These charges may cover the costs of materials, delivery, and any associated expenses. Such charges will be invoiced separately or as a revision to any existing estimate or agreement.

Financial Responsibility: The customer is solely responsible for all costs and consequences related to non-compliance with building codes, failure to obtain permits, or any reinspection requirements. This includes delays, additional deliveries, additional materials, shutdowns, fines, fees, citations, or summons imposed by regulatory authorities.

Not Included in Prices: Unless otherwise stated clearly in the agreement, the prices provided do not include any charges related to material upgrade for code compliance, additional delivery of materials, fees, fines, or associated costs.

By acknowledging and agreeing to these provisions, the customer accepts the responsibility of complying with local building codes and obtaining the necessary permits, and understands that any non-compliance or failure to meet requirements may result in additional charges and other consequences.

RECOMMENDED BUILDERS

Occasionally, or at your request, LBC may provide you with a list of building crews, including their points of contact and relevant information we have. This list consists of individuals or companies whom we believe possess the necessary technical skills to undertake your building project, as we understand it. It’s important to note that the purpose of this list is limited in scope.

Whether there is one point of contact or multiple, please understand that LBC does not assume responsibility for the individuals, crews, or companies mentioned in the list. We have no association with them beyond sharing basic contact information or having some familiarity within our industry. We neither employ nor contract nor subcontract with them.

We want to emphasize that LBC cannot be held liable for any issues that may arise in your dealings with the suggested crews, including but not limited to their timeliness, suitability, professionalism, communication, rates, availability, or workmanship. We do not personally select the crew for you. It is your responsibility to contact them, discuss your requirements, and make arrangements directly. You have the freedom to choose whether to build the structure yourself or engage another individual, crew, or company for the job. You also reserve the right to refuse anyone on the list.

While LBC hopes that you will be satisfied with your crew selection, we want to be clear that we neither guarantee nor imply that your satisfaction will be met by any person, crew, or company mentioned on our list. We shall not be held liable for your satisfaction or dissatisfaction in any manner whatsoever. Our aim is to provide you with options, but the final decision and outcome lie in your hands.

PAD PREPARATION.

The building design assumes a level site for proper installation. According to our design specifications, the dirt pad should have a maximum variance of 6 inches in ground level from the highest to lowest points. It is recommended that the dirt pad extends an additional ten feet in all directions beyond the building footprint. Additionally, the dirt pad should be elevated higher than the surrounding terrain, and we advise consulting a professional excavation company for recommended elevation dimensions.

To ensure a smooth installation process, it is important that the site is free from vegetation, obstacles, vehicles, and debris. If the site is not level or contains obstructions, additional materials and labor may be required to accommodate the unevenness during the installation process by your selected building crew. Please note that any costs associated with site leveling or accommodating an unleveled site will be the customer’s responsibility.

We strongly recommend that all site preparation work, including pad construction, be completed prior to the scheduled material delivery date. LBC does not provide site preparation services, and therefore, we are not experts in the materials or methods used for site preparation. We advise customers to consult a professional excavation company with experience in preparing sites for post-frame buildings. They can assess the site conditions, recommend any necessary work or materials, and ensure that the site is properly prepared for the building.

It is important to acknowledge that LBC will not be held liable for any issues or complications arising from an ill-prepared site. By proceeding with the project, the customer releases LBC from any financial or other obligations related to site preparation.

MATERIAL STAGING

It is recommended that the site and pad be clear of equipment and debris prior to the material delivery date. The customer understands and agrees that at times it will be necessary for the delivery driver to stage and lay out materials that may exceed the boundaries of the leveled dirt pad site. To include yards, fields, driveways, fence rows, and all other areas of your property needed due to weather conditions, build site size limitation, property line limitations, access issues. It is our goal to stage the material as close to the dirt pad as possible and near a power source without placing everything on the dirt pad or stacking multiple bundles of materials on top of each other which will hinder the work of your selected building crew.

LBC highly recommends the following practices for the handling and storage of materials:

Stackers or Wood Products: It is advisable to use stackers or other wood products that are sturdy and of sufficient height and thickness to safely support the weight and size of the material bundles. These stackers should lift the bundles off the ground to ensure the materials remain in good condition.

Tarps or Wrap Material: To protect the materials from direct sunlight, rain, or snow, it is recommended to use tarps or other durable wrap materials. These should adequately cover the materials from the top and all sides, providing a barrier against weather elements and preventing premature weathering.

Avoid Low-Laying Areas: When selecting an area for staging the materials, it is important to avoid low-lying areas or areas prone to water retention, flowing water, or flooding. Such areas can pose a risk of water damage to the materials. Select a location that is elevated and has good drainage to ensure the materials stay dry and in good condition.

By following these recommendations, the customer can help ensure that the materials remain in optimal condition and are protected from weather-related damage. Proper handling and storage practices contribute to the longevity and quality of the materials, ultimately benefiting the construction project.

ROCK & HARD DIGGING.

LBC advises the customer to conduct a thorough evaluation and research of the soil and digging conditions at their build site prior to commencing construction. It is the customer’s responsibility to inform their selected building crew about the presence of rock or any other materials that could pose challenges during excavation. We recommend discussing the site and digging conditions with the building crew before finalizing your selection, including any necessary equipment or additional fees that may arise. Please note that LBC will not be held accountable for any issues or costs associated with rock and hard digging conditions.

Furthermore, LBC offers alternative design options that can help mitigate the need for extensive digging in rock or hard soil. We encourage customers to reach out to their sales representative for more information on these options. Unless otherwise stated, all prices provided do not include these alternative design options.

EQUIPMENT & RENTALS.

LBC advises the customer to carefully assess their project specifications and site conditions during the planning phase to determine if any specific equipment is required for the successful completion of the building project. It is the customer’s responsibility to communicate with their selected building crew regarding the need for equipment and any associated costs or fees. Prior to signing an agreement with LBC, we encourage the customer to have a thorough discussion with their building crew to ensure all equipment requirements are addressed. Please note that LBC will not be held responsible for any issues or expenses related to equipment or equipment rentals. It is the customer’s responsibility to make appropriate arrangements for equipment needed for their project.

SITE SECURITY.

The customer acknowledges and agrees that they are solely responsible for the security and protection of all materials delivered to the job site. LBC, its suppliers, vendors, and delivery personnel shall not be held responsible for any damage, theft, vandalism, or loss of materials on site before, during, or after the construction process. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure appropriate security measures are in place to safeguard the materials at all times. LBC recommends the customer to take necessary precautions, such as securing the site and implementing appropriate security measures, to protect the materials from any potential risks.

LBC highly recommends that the customer purchases a Builder’s Risk insurance policy from a reputable insurance provider, such as US Assure, prior to the delivery of materials or the arrival of their selected building crew. A Builder’s Risk policy provides coverage for potential risks and hazards that may occur during the construction process, including damage, theft, vandalism, and other unforeseen events. This insurance coverage offers additional protection and peace of mind to the customer in the event of any unfortunate incidents. LBC advises the customer to consult with their insurance provider to determine the appropriate coverage and ensure that their project is adequately protected.

WASTE.

LBC recommends that the customer carefully assess their project specifications and site conditions during the planning phase to determine if specific waste management equipment, such as dumpsters, will be required for the construction process. It is the customer’s responsibility to discuss with their selected building crew whether the use of waste management equipment is necessary and to inquire about any associated costs or fees. We advise the customer to have this discussion prior to signing an agreement with LBC. LBC will not be held liable for any issues or costs related to waste management equipment and rentals.

In the event that the customer intends to dispose of remaining waste through burning, we strongly advise against burning any treated lumber materials, as they can release toxic substances. LBC will not be held liable for any damages, injuries, sickness, or death that may arise from the handling, mishandling, or burning of waste materials, including treated materials. Furthermore, please exercise caution when handling metal and trim cutoffs, as they can be extremely sharp and pose a hazard.

Please note that waste management and disposal are the customer’s responsibility, and it is important to comply with all applicable regulations and safety guidelines.

DAMAGES AND DELIVERY.

The customer acknowledges and agrees to ensure that adequate access is available to LBC and its agents from the main road to the job site, without any obstacles or limitations that may hinder the transportation of materials. This includes ensuring that there are no locked gates, narrow passageways, low clearance obstacles, weight-limited bridges, or terrain features that would inhibit the delivery trucks from reaching the job site. It is the customer’s responsibility to provide suitable access for both 1-ton truck and trailer combinations and 18-wheeled semi delivery trucks with a 53′ trailer. In some cases, the use of onsite material handling equipment, such as a piggyback delivery system or forklift, may be necessary.

The customer understands and acknowledges that while LBC, its employees, and agents will take all necessary precautions to minimize damage to property, they assume no liability for any damage that may occur during the delivery process. LBC does not provide any guarantee or warranty, either expressed or implied, regarding the prevention of damage. The customer waives any claims for damages or loss and understands that the driver of the delivery company has no authority to enter into any agreement or provide remedies for damages or loss on behalf of LBC.

It is the customer’s responsibility to notify LBC of any existing conditions or potential obstacles within the project location that may affect the delivery of materials. This notification must be made prior to the delivery of materials, and any agreements or remedies related to such conditions must be in writing and signed by both the Manager of LBC and the customer to be valid and binding.

Please note that LBC will make every effort to ensure a safe and smooth delivery process, but the customer assumes all responsibility for any potential damages or issues related to the delivery.

TOWING.

The customer acknowledges and agrees to be responsible for any towing fees incurred from the main road to the job site. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the job site is accessible for delivery vehicles and to make necessary arrangements for towing services if required. Any towing fees incurred during the transportation of materials or equipment to the job site will be the sole responsibility of the customer. LBC its officer, employees, or agents, will not be liable for any towing fees or associated costs.

QUIKRETE.

To ensure the stability and structural integrity of the building, it is important to properly install the post holes. The customer is responsible for providing Quikrete or an equivalent bagged concrete for this purpose. Please follow the guidelines below to ensure a successful installation:

The recommended amount of Quikrete or equivalent bagged concrete is a minimum of two 80lb bags per post for a post depth of 3′ with a 12″ diameter, and a minimum of three 80lb bags per post for a post depth of 4′ with a 12″ diameter.

It is essential to consider factors such as wet or torn bags during the installation process and provide additional Quikrete accordingly.

To ensure a smooth workflow, it is recommended to have the Quikrete on the job site at least one day prior to the arrival of your selected building crew.

When storing the bags, it is important to keep them off the ground and positioned in the center of the dirt pad. Additionally, it is advisable to adequately wrap or tarp the bags upon delivery to protect them from the elements.

Please note the following important points:

Any changes to the weight of the bags or the dimensions of the post hole will more than likely require a different amount per hole, or in total, this list isn’t exhaustive.

Any excess Quikrete or bagged concrete materials after the completion of post installation will remain the customer’s property and responsibility.

LBC will not reimburse the customer for any costs associated with purchasing Quikrete or equivalent bagged concrete.

It is strongly recommended to follow the guidelines specified in the agreement as an extra precaution against wind uplift. Failure to do so may result in potential damages to the erected building caused by strong winds.

LBC will not be held liable for any damages that occur as a result of improper installation, including damages caused by wind uplift. It is crucial for the customer to carefully follow the provided guidelines and ensure the proper use of Quikrete or equivalent bagged concrete for the post holes.

If you have any questions or require further clarification regarding the Quikrete requirements, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to assist you and ensure a successful construction process.

PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEO.

At LBC, we value transparency and strive to provide exceptional customer service. To ensure accurate documentation, warranty fulfillment, and effective communication, we may request permission to photograph or video the construction site, structure, interior, and exterior of your project. These visual records play a vital role in our commitment to quality assurance, customer support, and marketing efforts.

By signing the agreement, the customer acknowledges and agrees to allow LBC the right to capture photographs and videos before, during, and after the completion of construction. This includes various stages of the project, such as site preparation, building progress, and the final outcome. The customer grants LBC unlimited permission to maintain and utilize these visual records for warranty purposes, customer service, and marketing materials.

We respect your privacy and understand that certain personal items or areas may require confidentiality. Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to remove or conceal any items they do not wish to be photographed or recorded.

Please be assured that the ownership and usage rights of these photographs and videos will reside with LBC. We prioritize the protection of your personal information and will handle these records with the utmost care and professionalism.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to delivering a successful construction project.

ELECTRIC SERVICE.

To ensure a smooth and efficient construction process, we recommend that the customer provides a 110v/20a electric service within 150 feet of the dirt pad. This electrical service will facilitate the operation of necessary equipment during the construction phase.

In the event that the specified electric service is not readily available at the designated location, it is the customer’s responsibility to discuss the potential need for a generator with their selected building crew. Any costs or fees associated with the provision of a generator should be addressed and agreed upon prior to signing the agreement with LBC.

We understand the importance of having proper electrical access for a successful project and want to ensure that all necessary arrangements are made in advance. By proactively discussing any electrical requirements or alternative solutions, we can help streamline the construction process and minimize any potential delays.

Should you have any questions or require further clarification regarding the electric service requirements, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We are committed to providing you with the necessary information and support to make your construction experience with LBC as smooth as possible.

Thank you for choosing LBC as your trusted partner in your construction project.

ENGINEERING CLAUSE.

At LBC, we prioritize the safety and compliance of our projects. Certain circumstances may require additional documents and certifications, such as sealed engineer blueprints, windstorm certifications, and FEMA Flood Plan Elevation Certificates. We want to ensure that our customers are aware of the associated costs and requirements for these specialized services.

Please note that any upgrades or changes in materials and delivery may also incur additional costs. It is important to discuss these requirements and associated fees with your LBC representative prior to signing the agreement. Should any of these documents be necessary for your project, they must be purchased prior to finalizing the agreement or a revision to the agreement may be required. Please be aware that any previous estimates or agreements will become invalid in such cases.

We understand that these additional requirements may impact your project budget and timeline. Our team is here to assist you in navigating these engineering considerations and providing the necessary support to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Should you have any questions or require further clarification regarding engineering requirements and associated costs, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are committed to providing transparent and comprehensive information to our valued customers.

SEVERE WEATHER CLAUSE.

At LBC, we prioritize the safety of our employees and agents as well as the well-being of our customers. We understand that severe weather conditions can impact the timely delivery of materials and construction schedules. While we make every effort to adhere to projected dates, we want to emphasize that schedules are tentative and subject to change based on weather conditions.

In the event of severe weather at the customer’s property or preceding sites, such as the manufacturer’s facility, that may pose risks to the safety of our team members, LBC retains the right to reschedule delivery and adjust the project timeline accordingly. These decisions will be made at the sole discretion of LBC, and we will promptly notify the customer of any delays or changes to the schedule.

We want to assure our customers that we are committed to keeping them informed throughout the process. Our team will make every effort to communicate any delays or schedule adjustments in a timely manner. We understand the importance of maintaining open lines of communication and working together to navigate unforeseen circumstances.

Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of everyone involved in the project. Should you have any questions or concerns about the impact of severe weather on your project, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you for choosing LBC as your partner in building your project.

DEMOBILIZATION POLICY

At LBC, we understand that certain circumstances may arise during a building project that require the crew to temporarily cease work and later resume construction. This process, known as demobilization, may be necessary due to various factors such as project specifications, site conditions, and jurisdictional requirements.

We strongly recommend that customers carefully evaluate and research their project’s specifications, site conditions, and timeline during the planning phase to determine if demobilization will be necessary. This is especially important when dealing with jurisdictional regulations or unexpected events that may require the selected building crew to temporarily halt work without prior scheduling. It is the customer’s responsibility to discuss the need for demobilization, the expected timeline, and any associated costs or fees with their chosen building crew before signing an agreement with LBC.

Please note that LBC cannot be held liable for any issues, delays, or costs related to demobilization. While we strive to provide guidance and support throughout the building process, the decision to demobilize and the associated consequences are ultimately the responsibility of the customer and their selected building crew.

We encourage open communication and collaboration between the customer, building crew, and LBC to ensure a smooth and efficient construction experience. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the demobilization process, we are here to provide assistance and guidance.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in adhering to our demobilization policy.

CHANGE ORDER POLICY.

Once the agreement is signed by LBC, it becomes a legally binding document. Any modifications to the agreement must be made in writing and signed by both the customer and the manager of LBC to be considered binding. All other changes to the contract require a written change order, which will outline the specific modifications, associated costs, and a payment schedule. In most cases, the change order must be signed and returned along with a payment of the additional costs before the ordering and shipment of additional materials can proceed.

It is important to note that any changes to the building specifications will require a change order. A change order fee of $500 per occurrence will be assessed for all customer-initiated change orders. However, modifications made to rectify clerical or typographical errors will not require a change order and will not be subject to a change order fee.

Our goal is to ensure clear communication and transparency throughout the construction process. By adhering to this change order policy, we can effectively manage modifications and provide accurate pricing and scheduling information.

Should you have any questions or require further clarification regarding the change order policy, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in upholding the terms of this policy.

PROPERTY AND BUILDING ACCESS.

Ensuring Property and Building Access

At Legacy Barn Company (LBC), we value the smooth and efficient execution of construction projects. To facilitate this process, it is essential for the customer to provide unfettered access to the project build site for LBC, its officers, managers, employees, suppliers, vendors, and inspectors. This access allows us to deliver materials, conduct inspections, and carry out necessary tasks to complete our portion of the project.

Additionally, the customer acknowledges and agrees that it is their responsibility to ensure not only access to and from the site but also the provision of adequate road access. This includes having an improved roadway such as a drive or gravel road in place. Having proper road access is particularly crucial during inclement weather conditions. Failure to provide an improved roadway can impede the delivery of materials and result in significant project delays.

The customer should be aware that any wrecker fees or damages caused to the property due to ruts or similar damage resulting from vehicles traversing or getting stuck in unimproved areas are the sole responsibility of the customer. It is important to create additional areas for the delivery vehicle to load, traverse, unload, place materials, and safely turn around to exit the site.

By ensuring unrestricted access and providing appropriate road access, you contribute to a smoother construction process and minimize potential delays or complications. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in fulfilling these requirements.

Thank you for your cooperation in upholding these guidelines. We value your commitment to the successful completion of the project, and we are here to support you throughout the process.

UTILITY CORRIDOR.

Respecting Utility Corridors during Construction

At Legacy Barn Company (LBC), we prioritize safety and responsible construction practices. It is crucial for the customer to understand and take responsibility for ensuring that construction activities do not occur within utility corridors, which include overhead powerlines (primary or secondary) and underground power, gas, petroleum pipelines, water, sewer, telecom utility lines, aperture devices, or high-risk/critical infrastructure facilities or their easements.

We strongly recommend that the customer refrains from requesting the building to be constructed within 35 feet of an overhead powerline or within 4 feet of any underground utility lines or critical infrastructure facilities. These guidelines are in place to protect the safety of all parties involved and prevent potential damages or accidents.

To ensure compliance and safety, we highly recommend that the customer contacts the appropriate utility locating service (811) during the planning and design phase, well before the arrival of their selected building crew. This step allows for the identification and marking of utility lines, minimizing the risk of unintended disturbances or damages.

It is important to note that any issues, damages, injuries, fatalities, legal cases, or associated costs, fees, or fines that arise due to construction within utility corridors are the sole responsibility of the customer. LBC cannot be held liable for any such instances.

We prioritize the well-being of our customers and encourage responsible construction practices. By adhering to these guidelines and involving utility locates during the planning phase, you can ensure a safe construction environment while minimizing potential risks and liabilities.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in upholding these safety measures. We value your commitment to responsible construction, and we are here to support you throughout the process.

EASEMENTS.

Respecting Property Boundaries and Easements during Material Delivery

At Legacy Barn Company (LBC), we prioritize the responsible handling and delivery of materials to our valued customers. While LBC does not engage in construction work, we understand the importance of delivering materials to the intended location while respecting property boundaries and easements.

It is crucial to note that LBC does not recommend or endorse construction activities within rights of way (ROW) or easements owned or maintained by a third party. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that construction activities are conducted within their property boundaries, adhering to any applicable regulations and obtaining necessary permissions.

During material delivery, LBC will make every effort to place the materials in a designated area on the customer’s property, as instructed by the customer. However, we kindly request that customers avoid instructing us to drop the materials on someone else’s property, particularly within an easement or the Right of Way (ROW). Also important for the customer or their selected building crew to take precautions and avoid construction within ROW or easement areas.

LBC strongly advises customers to communicate and coordinate with relevant parties, such as local authorities or property owners, to obtain the required approvals and ensure compliance with property boundaries and easements. Construction activities within ROW or easement areas without proper consent may lead to complications, disputes, legal cases, or associated costs, which are solely the responsibility of the customer.

We emphasize the importance of responsible construction practices and the adherence to property boundaries and easements. By following these guidelines, you can maintain positive relationships with neighbors, property owners, and authorities while avoiding any unintended legal or logistical issues.

Thank you for your cooperation in adhering to these recommendations. We appreciate your commitment to responsible construction and material delivery, and we are here to support you throughout the process.

HOSTILITY.

At Legacy Barn Company (LBC), we prioritize maintaining a respectful and positive environment for our officers, members, and employees. We want to ensure a safe and professional atmosphere for everyone involved in our business interactions.

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards disrespectful language, threats, acts of malice, violence, or any form of threats directed towards our team. It is crucial to treat each other with dignity and respect throughout our partnership.

In the event that such behavior occurs from the customer or any person acting on behalf of the customer, LBC reserves the right to terminate the agreement. We believe in fostering healthy and constructive relationships, and any hostile actions or threats compromise that goal.

DISPUTES.

Resolving Disputes Amicably

At Legacy Barn Company (LBC), we strive to maintain positive and respectful relationships with our customers. However, in the event that a dispute arises which cannot be resolved peacefully (without the threat or potential of violence), we want to ensure a fair and transparent process for all parties involved.

LBC reserves the right to terminate the agreement if a dispute cannot be de-escalated or remedied through peaceful means. We understand that disputes can be challenging, but we are committed to making every reasonable effort to find an amicable solution.

To address disputes, LBC will diligently explore various options, including but not limited to, arbitration and litigation through legal counsel. Our aim is to seek fair resolutions that uphold the best interests of all parties involved.

While we make every effort to meet your expectations, it’s important to note that satisfaction is not guaranteed. We want to set realistic expectations and ensure transparency in our relationship with you.

PROJECT TIMELINES.

LBC understands that project timelines are important to our customers, and we make every effort to provide estimated dates for project completion. However, it is important to note the following:

Tentative Nature: Timelines provided are tentative and subject to change or delay due to various factors beyond our control, including but not limited to weather conditions, availability of materials, unforeseen circumstances, and other project-specific variables.

No Guaranteed Dates: Dates given for project completion should not be construed as guaranteed commitments. While we strive to meet the estimated timelines, unforeseen circumstances may arise that can affect the schedule.

Unrealistic Timelines: LBC reserves the right to reject any agreement, contract, change orders, or addenda for projects with unrealistic timelines. We believe in setting realistic expectations and delivering quality workmanship, and we may decline projects with timelines that are impractical or unachievable.

Invalidation of Agreements: If an agreement or contract includes an unrealistic or rigid timeline, it will be deemed invalid by LBC. We value open communication and collaboration with our customers to ensure a successful project, and setting reasonable timelines is an integral part of that process.

We understand the importance of timely completion and will make every reasonable effort to meet project timelines. However, we appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our customers in recognizing the inherent uncertainties and potential delays that can occur during the construction process.

REMARKETING.

LBC values and protects its intellectual property, including photos, videos, and marketing materials related to our buildings and products. We would like to emphasize the following regarding remarketing:

Prohibition: The remarketing of LBC buildings or products for private or commercial use is strictly prohibited. This means that customers are not allowed to resell or distribute our buildings or products for any purpose without prior written consent from LBC.

Legal Consequences: Any attempt to remarket or use LBC’s marketing materials, videos, or photos without proper authorization will be considered a violation of our intellectual property rights. LBC will take this matter seriously and pursue appropriate legal action, including civil and criminal prosecution, to protect our rights and seek maximum damages allowable by law.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in respecting our intellectual property and the terms outlined in this remarketing policy. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

DESIGN DISCLOSURES

SLIDING DOORS

When it comes to sliding doors for your building, please note the following information:

Panel Size and Opening Size:

Sliding door sizes are based on the panel size and not the opening size. As a result, the opening will be one pole width narrower than the nomenclature or the panel size. The pole width is determined by the size and placement of both the building and the door, typically ranging between 4.5 feet to 7 inches. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify that the actual opening size is large enough for its intended purpose. LBC cannot be held liable for any oversight in this matter on the customer’s part.

Sealing and Weatherization:

Sliding doors, especially in agricultural applications, are preferred because they do not provide the same level of sealing as overhead doors. It is important to note that LBC makes no warranties or guarantees, express or implied, that a sliding door provides an adequate barrier to the environment, elements, or pests. LBC will not be held liable for any issues or damages arising from the weatherization or expectations of weatherization of a sliding door.

Split Sliding Doors and Concrete Installation:

Split sliding doors should not be installed on a project that requires concrete to be installed before or during construction. If this situation arises, it is considered a clerical issue, and the customer must inform the Customer Service Representative (CSR) to make the necessary modifications to the agreement. Failure to address this issue will render the agreement wholly and immediately invalid.

Metal Framed Doors:

All sliding doors provided by LBC are metal framed. LBC does not recommend wood-framed sliding doors.

Please take these factors into consideration when selecting sliding doors for your project.

OVERHEAD DOORS.

When it comes to overhead doors for your building, please consider the following information:

Door Size and Frame:

Overhead door sizes should not be narrower than the specified dimensions indicated by the name of the door. If the opening frame is narrower than the intended size, it will be repaired at no cost to the customer to meet the correct size. However, please note that the opening may be slightly larger than the named size. It is the customer’s responsibility to measure the finished opening before pricing, ordering, or installing the final overhead doors. LBC cannot be held liable for oversight in this matter on the customer’s part.

Water Key or Storm Lip:

Typically, overhead doors are designed to accommodate a ¾” water key or storm lip. It is important to ensure that your selected building crew is aware of this requirement or any modifications you have made regarding the specified overhead door height on the agreement or for your project’s needs.

Wall Height and Clearance:

LBC generally recommends upgrading the wall height of a building to accommodate a door of a certain size. The standard design requirement is that the wall height must be 2 feet 6 inches higher than the opening on commercial doors. For example, an 8-foot tall door requires a 10-foot 6-inch wall height. However, in some cases, customers may opt to go with the originally requested wall height. Please note that if the requested wall height does not provide sufficient clearance for the assembled door, LBC cannot be held liable for any resulting issues. It is essential to verify with your door installer that the requested height will yield enough clearance for the assembled door. LBC does not recommend any door assembly utilizing or requiring low clearance radial track.

Size and Wind Limitations:

LBC does not recommend overhead doors that exceed 16 feet in width or are greater than 14 feet in width in high wind areas. The maximum width of an overhead door frame provided by LBC is 20 feet on a gable wall and 16 feet on an eave wall. The use of a scissor or vaulted truss design does not override the size limitations of an overhead door.

Placement and Water Key:

Please consider potential conflicts with overhead doors, as it is not recommended to place overhead doors within 4 feet of the corner of a building that has an installed walk-in door. It is advisable to ensure that the overhead door opening is perpendicular to any existing door or track assembly to avoid potential conflicts when the doors are opened. LBC cannot be held liable for oversight in this matter on the customer’s part.

Water Key and Framing:

LBC highly recommends forming and pouring a water key at each door location. The water key should be at least 3.5 inches wide and run from the outside of the left door pole to the outside of the right door pole on the inside of the door opening and in between the door poles. The recommended depth of the water key is 3/4 inch, not exceeding 1 inch, but not shallower than 1/2 inch. It is the customer’s responsibility to notify LBC, their selected building crew, and their overhead door installer of the depth or design of the water key so that the door can be framed accurately.

Framing and Threshold:

Overhead doors will be framed to include the water key, if known or if present. The overhead door will be framed to be 1/2 inch smaller than the named door size to ensure that the actual door rests above and behind the inside door header. The framing height will be based on the top of the bottom plate (green board), minus the depth of the water key if known or if present. If a slab with or without a water key is present during framing, the height of the finished slab will be factored into the framing. If no slab is present or will not be poured in the future, it is recommended to frame the doors from the bottom of the “bottom plate” (green board). If no slab is present or will not be poured in the future, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide either a concrete beam for the actual overhead door or a wood box beam to ensure the overhead door has a dedicated threshold for adequate stopping resistance and a seal. Legacy Barn Company LLC does not provide this, and LBC cannot be held liable for oversight in this matter on the customer’s part.

Additional Considerations:

Please note that spring pads or appropriate back jambs may not be specified in the material package. The typical overhead doors designed by LBC are commercial grade doors without electric openers and are available in sizes incrementing by 2 feet in height and width. All dimensions regarding overhead doors are given in width x height format (e.g., 10ft x 8ft). It is important to note that LBC’s overhead door frames and trim may not be compatible with all types of doors and weather stripping by other manufacturers. Additional weather stripping or trimmings may be required by the customer or their door installer at the customer’s expense.

Consider these factors when planning for overhead doors and ensure effective communication with your selected building crew and door installer to meet your specific requirements.

#3 LUMBER CONDITIONS.

When it comes to #3 lumber grade, which is the standard for “barn” construction in LBC buildings, please consider the following information:

Characteristics of #3 Lumber:

#3 lumber, specifically southern yellow pine, is typically classified as construction grade lumber. It is often juvenile lumber with higher knots and a higher moisture content from the mill. This grade of lumber is considered the lowest and cheapest grade that still meets construction standards. It is widely accessible in the smaller range of dimensional lumber selection.

Availability and Sourcing:

#3 lumber is not commonly found when sourcing materials locally for a project build site. In such cases, it may be substituted with a Douglas Fir alternative, which is more readily available from local sources. This substitution helps ensure that the required lumber is accessible for construction purposes.

Moisture Content and Mold:

#3 lumber generally has a higher moisture content from the mill or supplier, which can contribute to a higher content of bundle mold. The presence of moisture in the lumber, combined with the bundling process, may result in further molding while bundled. It is important to be aware of these characteristics when working with #3 lumber.

Please be mindful of the characteristics and availability of #3 lumber grade when planning your project. Consult with LBC to determine the most suitable lumber grade based on your specific requirements and available options.

#2 OR BETTER AVAILABILITY.

When it comes to #2 southern yellow pine lumber, please note the following information:

Mid to Higher Grade:

#2 southern yellow pine is considered a mid to higher grade of lumber, known for its quality and characteristics. It generally has fewer knots, a tighter grain pattern, and a slightly higher fiber density compared to #3 lumber.

Limited Availability:

Not all sizes of dimensional lumber in #2 grade are available through LBC’s standard material suppliers or distributors. Availability of #2 lumber can vary and often changes due to market demand and fluctuations. As a result, LBC cannot guarantee the availability of #2 or better lumber for your project at the time of estimating, signing, or ordering.

Cost and Usage:

#2 lumber is typically drier and of higher quality than #3 lumber, which also comes at a higher cost. It is important to note that #2 lumber is not typically used as “barn” lumber, whereas #3 lumber is the more common choice in the industry.

It is important to be aware of the limited availability of #2 or better lumber and understand that its availability can fluctuate. Consider alternative options and consult with LBC to determine the most suitable lumber grade for your specific project needs.

CONCRETE SLAB POURED BEFORE CONSTRUCTION.

If the customer requests the building to be attached to an existing concrete slab or stem/retaining wall, known as “slab mount,” the following information should be considered:

Suitability and Cost-Effectiveness:

This option is best suited for buildings that do not exceed 12 feet 6 inches in height. It is primarily used to avoid potential conflicts with digging in rock or other challenging site conditions. However, it is important to note that pouring the concrete slab before construction is not very cost-effective unless it is specifically required due to the aforementioned site conditions.

Dependence on Existing Slab:

With the “slab mount” option, the structural integrity of the building becomes dependent on the existing slab. It is crucial to recognize that the building warranty will be heavily modified to reflect that the integrity of the building is only as strong as the existing slab.

Drill Set Brackets:

LBC can design and supply the drill set brackets needed to accomplish the slab mount. However, LBC does not provide installation services for the slab mount materials or labor.

Careful consideration should be given to the suitability and cost-effectiveness of the slab mount option. Understanding the dependency on the existing slab and the modification of the building warranty will help in making informed decisions about using this method for your construction project.

CONCRETE SLAB POURED DURING CONSTRUCTION.

In certain cases, customers may request the building posts to be direct buried, as per our standard practice. However, due to factors such as building size and opening locations, it may not be economically or practically feasible to pour the concrete after construction. In such situations, pouring the concrete slab during construction may be necessary. Please consider the following information:

Material Order and Temporary Bracing:

Pouring the concrete slab during construction may require a separate, specific material order to accommodate the process. Additionally, additional temporary bracing may be needed, which adds to the overall cost. It’s important to note that not all of LBC’s recommended building crews prefer or provide this option. The availability and pricing of this additional option are subject to change without notice.

Risks and Challenges:

When utilizing the “Poles & Plates Job” option, there are inherent risks and challenges involved. Poles and plates, even when properly braced and staked, can be damaged or knocked out of alignment. They may also weather or degrade if not properly stored or after installation by the selected building crew. These factors can make the completion of the building more difficult or even impossible in severe cases. In such situations, additional labor and expenses may be incurred. Please note that LBC cannot be held liable for the costs associated with the aforementioned damages or remedies.

Careful consideration and communication with your selected building crew are essential when opting for pouring the concrete slab during construction. By being aware of the potential challenges and associated costs, you can make informed decisions and ensure the successful completion of your building project.

CONCRETE SLAB POURED AFTER CONSTRUCTION.

In certain instances, customers may request the building posts to be direct buried after construction, which is the standard design approach for LBC. This method is efficient and cost-effective, reducing construction costs. However, it is important to note the following considerations:

Site Conditions and Digging Difficulty:

Depending on the site conditions and digging requirements, such as the size of the building and layout of the openings, the concrete crew may find it impractical or more challenging to pour the concrete after construction. In such cases, additional fees may be charged by the concrete contractor. It is the customer’s responsibility to assess the available options and determine the best course of action.

Risks and Potential Damage:

Pouring the concrete after construction poses certain risks, including the potential for damage to metal panels, trim, posts, windows, doors, and other components. Care must be taken to ensure that the concrete crew does not pour on, allow concrete to splash on, or come into contact with the back of the metal panels (the “substrate”). Failure to properly clean the substrate before hardening can invalidate the metal manufacturer’s warranty, either partially or entirely, at the discretion of the manufacturer.

It is essential for customers to be aware of these risks and potential warranty implications when opting for pouring the concrete slab after construction. Careful coordination with the concrete crew and adherence to proper cleaning procedures can help mitigate these risks.

POLES AND PLATES SCHEDULING.

The “Poles and Plates Jobe” option involves mobilizing a crew to the project site to install the poles and bottom plates, in preparation for the customer to pour a concrete slab. After this initial phase, the crew demobilizes from the site and returns at a later date. It is important to note the following considerations:

Limitations and Additional Charges:

The availability of this option is subject to crew availability and geographic location. It may require separate delivery charges, additional materials, and additional labor fees, which are determined by your selected building crew.

Project Timeline and Delays:

Selecting the Poles and Plates Jobe option inherently increases the project timeline. In some cases, it can significantly extend the required time for completion. This can lead to scheduling and logistical challenges for both the customer and the selected building crew, potentially resulting in delays to the project’s completion and exposure of materials already on site to weathering.

Material Storage and Guarantees:

If the customer chooses this option, which is not recommended by LBC, it is advisable to ensure proper storage of the materials. However, no guarantees, expressed or implied, can be provided by LBC regarding the timeline for the selected crew’s return to complete the project.

Scheduling Conflicts and Customer Responsibilities:

This option inherently increases the risk of potential scheduling conflicts, especially with regards to weather conditions. If the customer cannot complete their portion of the work within the specified time, it is the customer’s responsibility to mitigate material loss by covering or moving the materials to a covered area. The customer may also be solely responsible for any damages to the materials resulting from moving or failing to properly cover all perishable materials.

It is important to carefully consider the implications of selecting the Poles and Plates Jobe option, as it can impact the project timeline, introduce scheduling challenges, and require additional responsibilities from the customer.

SPRAY FOAM USE ON A LEGACY BUILDING

When considering the use of spray foam insulation on a legacy building, please be aware of the following important information:

Potential Risks:

Spray foam is a thermally induced, pressure-applied, chemically aggressive, binary compound adhesive foam insulation product. If not applied correctly, it can cause issues such as leaks in the seams of the metal panels. This can occur when the foam becomes trapped between the wood structure and the gaps in the metal panel reinforcement rib. The excess pressure from the foam can separate the seams, creating gaps that allow water intrusion.

Moisture Concerns:

Another concern with spray foam insulation is the potential for moisture to become trapped between the metal panels and the foam insulation. This trapped moisture can lead to pinhole leaks and rust, which can invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty for the metal panels.

Impact on Workmanship Warranty:

The application of spray foam to a legacy building installed after the construction of the building may partially or fully invalidate the workmanship warranty provided by your selected building crew. The extent of the warranty invalidation is solely at the discretion of the crew.

Communication with Building Crew:

It is crucial to discuss the use of spray foam, any required barriers needed before the application of spray foam, and any inclusion or exclusion of spray foam with your selected building crew. This conversation should include the impact on their workmanship warranty and any necessary measures to ensure proper application and prevent potential issues.

By understanding the risks and having open communication with your building crew, you can make informed decisions regarding the use of spray foam insulation on your legacy building while considering the warranty implications.

AGREEMENT ANNOTATIONS.

Handwritten Annotations:

Handwritten annotations made by the customer on the agreement will not be accepted unless specifically mentioned otherwise. With the exception of the customer’s signature or color choices (on provided blank lines), any changes to the agreement by the customer must be counter-signed and agreed to by an authorized representative of LBC.

Invalidation of Agreement:

Any other annotation by the customer, such as written notes or instructions, that are not typed or previously agreed upon and signed by an authorized representative of LBC may invalidate the agreement.

Please be aware of these guidelines regarding annotations to ensure the validity of the agreement.

AVAILABILITY AND SUBSTITUTION OF MATERIALS.

Material Substitution:

LBC reserves the right to substitute any material that is currently unavailable through their normal supplier. While LBC will make efforts to notify the customer of any material substitutions or unavailability that may impact the project, it is not guaranteed that the substitution will be of equal or higher value, nor will LBC always have prior knowledge of the substitution.

Color Availability and Gauge:

1. Please note that not all colors are available in 26 Gauge (hereafter “GA”). If a customer requests a color that is not available in 26 GA, LBC will send the same color in 29 GA or request the customer to submit an alternate color choice. If no alternate color choices are provided in writing prior to LBC ordering the material, the original color will be sent in 29 GA.
2. In the case where the customer requested a color that is not available in 26 GA, but the customer wishes to proceed with the requested color in 26 GA from another vendor, it can be provided at an additional cost. This upgrade charge will not be reflected in the Agreement and may be billed as a back charge. The customer may also be entitled to a refund of the difference in cost between 29 GA and 26 GA.

BREACH OF CONTRACT

Any breach of contract by the customer may result in an additional fee of $2,500.00, as well as any associated costs incurred for collection or litigation, including court costs and reasonable attorney fees.

By acknowledging these provisions, you understand the potential for material substitutions, the availability of colors in different gauges, and the consequences of breaching the contract.

LEAN-TO DESIGN STANDARDS.

Please review the following design standards and considerations for lean-to structures:

V-Braces:

1. V-Braces are not allowed on porches, lean-tos, eyebrows, or gable roof extensions where ceiling metal or other underpinning materials will be installed.
2. V-Braces are not permitted on the aforementioned add-on options if the post is covered by post trim.
3. Covered V-Braces can be installed on the aforementioned add-on options if the post is covered by post trim.
4. Covered V-Braces cannot exist on the aforementioned add-on options where ceiling metal or other underpinning materials will be installed.

Maximum Width:

The maximum width of an LBC lean-to is 19 feet, subject to applicable wall heights and required clearance. As a standard recommendation, the width of the lean-to should not exceed the height of the wall to which it is attached.

Pitch Requirements:

1. The minimum pitch for an LBC lean-to is 2/12 to ensure adequate wind uplift resistance.
2. The maximum pitch for an LBC lean-to is 5/12 when continued from a main building roof pitch of 5/12.
3. LBC lean-to roof pitches should be equal to or less than the main building roof pitch.

Clearances and Spacings:

1. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify that all clearances provided will be sufficient for the desired intended or future purposes.
2. The maximum post spacing for a lean-to is 12 feet, which should match the post spacing of the corresponding wall of the main building when applicable. The standard post spacing is 10 feet.
3. The maximum rafter spacing of a lean-to is 5 feet and should never exceed this distance under any foreseeable circumstance.
4. Unless otherwise specified, the rafter spacing of an LBC lean-to is 5 feet.
5. Customer understands that all clearances provided have a margin of error of +/- 2 inches and do not anticipate cutouts or material buildup, such as gravel or concrete slab, under the lean-to.
6. Clearances given apply to all sides of the lean-to or porch unless modifications are factored in and annotated on the agreement.

Underpinning and Ceiling Metal:

1. Unless otherwise specified, all prices exclude underpinning or ceiling metal for porches or lean-tos.
2. Customer responsibility includes determining the type and size of the guttering to be installed and notifying LBC accordingly for appropriate pricing and construction. Typical guttering sizes include 4 inches for residential and 6 inches for commercial applications.

Post Spacing and Clearances:

1. Similar to main building posts, the post spacing indicated for a lean-to represents the “on center” spacing and may not reflect the actual clearance between posts, except for overhead door openings. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the actual clearance between posts is adequate for the intended purposes. LBC shall not be held liable for modifications or repairs resulting from oversight on the customer’s part in this matter.

Opening Placement and Post Location:

If the placement of an opening, such as windows, walk doors, or overhead doors, on the main building wall conflicts with the standard on-center post location on the eave of a lean-to, it is the customer’s responsibility to relocate the opening on the design prior to construction. In most cases, the placement of a standard on-center post location for the lean-to cannot and should not be moved, as it can compromise structural integrity and aesthetic symmetry. LBC shall not be held liable for modifications or repairs resulting from oversight on the customer’s part in this matter.

By understanding and adhering to these lean-to design standards, you can ensure the successful construction and functionality of your lean-to structure.

GUTTER READY.

LBC does not provide installation services for guttering of any type. However, we offer a service to prepare the building for the installation of guttering. It is the customer’s responsibility to notify LBC if guttering preparation is required as part of the design and agreement. Please note that Gutter Ready is not a standard option, and unless otherwise specified and clearly annotated, all prices exclude this option.

To ensure accurate pricing and construction of the guttering preparation, it is important for the customer to determine and inform LBC about the type and size of guttering to be installed. Typically, residential guttering is 4 inches wide, while commercial guttering is 6 inches wide. The objective is to cut back the metal to create a metal drip edge that is approximately half the width of the selected guttering. In some cases, blocking between truss heels may be necessary to provide sufficient mounting space for the guttering. However, please note that the specific guttering requirements may vary among installers.

By communicating the guttering specifications and requirements to LBC, you can ensure that the building is appropriately prepared for the installation of the guttering.

CONCRETE READY.

Concrete Ready refers to the process of preparing the building to accommodate any concrete flat work on the exterior or adjacent to the building. This option is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the metal panel warranty by elevating the metal and trim above the proposed finished concrete elevation. Proper design and installation can also help mitigate the risk of moisture seepage or leaks into the main building. To achieve these benefits, it is recommended that any concrete flat work poured outside the building be at least 1.5 inches below the finished height of the interior slab.

It is the customer’s responsibility to assess if and where this option is required and inform LBC accordingly as a requirement in the design or agreement. Please note that Concrete Ready is not a standard option, and unless otherwise specified and clearly annotated, all prices exclude this option. If this option is installed, it is the customer’s responsibility to cover any exposed treated bottom plates to prevent deterioration until the concrete is poured.

LBC cannot be held liable for the loss of warranty entitlements or any modifications or repairs resulting from oversight on the customer’s part regarding this matter.

By understanding and acknowledging the importance of the Concrete Ready option, you can ensure the proper preparation of your building for concrete work and protect your warranty coverage.
