Last updated: May 5, 2026

The following standard terms and conditions govern all proposals, quotations, agreements, and work performed by Alpha Rigging & Fabrication (the “Contractor”) for its customers (the “Customer”), unless otherwise expressly stated in writing in the Contractor’s Proposal.

I. Standard Terms and Conditions Applicable to All Agreements

  1. The Contractor’s quotation is open for acceptance for thirty (30) days from the date issued and is conditional upon satisfactory arrangements regarding payment and security.
  2. Payment terms are Net 30 days from invoice date. Interest of 1.5% per month will be assessed on past-due balances. All quotes are stated in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated. A 3% surcharge applies to credit card payments.
  3. Each quotation is strictly limited to the scope of work expressly described in the Contractor’s Proposal. Any additional work, materials, or services will be invoiced separately.
  4. The Contractor shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages caused by delays, including but not limited to delays caused by fires, strikes, adverse weather, accidents, acts of God, supply chain disruptions, or any other cause beyond the Contractor’s reasonable control.
  5. The Customer is responsible for providing safe, suitable, and timely access to the work site, including ground conditions adequate to support the Contractor’s equipment. Any delays, damages, or additional costs arising from inadequate site conditions are the Customer’s responsibility.
  6. The Customer shall obtain and pay for all permits, licenses, easements, and approvals required for the work, unless expressly included in the Contractor’s Proposal.
  7. The Contractor shall maintain commercial general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance in commercially reasonable amounts. Certificates of insurance will be provided upon request.
  8. Risk of loss for materials supplied by the Customer remains with the Customer at all times. The Contractor shall exercise reasonable care while handling Customer property but is not an insurer of such property.
  9. The Customer warrants that any weights, dimensions, center-of-gravity information, and structural data provided to the Contractor are accurate. The Contractor is entitled to rely on this information without independent verification.
  10. The Contractor’s total aggregate liability under any agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Customer for the specific work giving rise to the claim.
  11. Any disputes arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions, and venue shall lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in that state.
  12. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

II. Standard Terms and Conditions Applicable to Rigging, Hoisting, and Transportation Services

  1. The Customer is responsible for proper identification, marking, and documentation of all loads, including hazardous materials, prior to the Contractor commencing work.
  2. The Contractor reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or modify any rigging, lifting, or transport activity if, in its sole judgment, conditions are unsafe or the load cannot be handled within the scope or equipment specified in the Proposal.
  3. Standby time, waiting time, and demobilization caused by the Customer or by conditions outside the Contractor’s control will be billed at the Contractor’s then-current hourly rates.
  4. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, route surveys, escort services, pilot cars, traffic control, and special permits are not included in the base quotation and will be billed separately.
  5. The Contractor is not responsible for damage to underground utilities, overhead obstructions, asphalt, concrete, landscaping, or other property along the route or at the work site that has not been clearly marked or disclosed in advance by the Customer.

III. Standard Terms and Conditions Applicable to Storage and Fabrication Services

  1. Customer property accepted for storage is held at the Customer’s sole risk. The Contractor is not a warehouseman and is not liable for loss or damage except to the extent caused by the Contractor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
  2. Storage charges accrue from the date the property arrives at the Contractor’s facility and continue until the property is removed and all balances paid in full.
  3. The Contractor shall have a lien on all Customer property in its possession for unpaid charges, including storage, fabrication, handling, and related costs. The Contractor may exercise this lien in accordance with applicable law if charges remain unpaid for more than thirty (30) days after written notice.
  4. Fabrication work is performed in accordance with the drawings, specifications, and tolerances supplied or approved in writing by the Customer. The Contractor is not responsible for errors arising from incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Customer.
  5. Title to fabricated goods passes to the Customer upon final payment in full. Until that time, the Contractor retains a security interest in the goods to secure payment.
