Before you rely on it
Original Centilio wording, not legal advice. Home improvement contracts often need set wording, such as a notice of the owner's right to cancel within a few days, lien notices, deposit limits and licence details, and these rules differ by state, province and country. Have a lawyer where the site is add the required notices before you approve it.
