Seller will provide a receipt for each payment. No deposit is nonrefundable. No cancellation penalty is agreed.

Ordinary project taxes and charges already included in the total may not be charged again.

4. Performance, damage, and warranties

Seller will use the listed equipment or a mutually approved written substitute. Seller is responsible to Buyer for the promised installation even if another company performs it. Seller will protect the premises and repair physical damage caused by its work. Any property damage repair terms beyond the statutory roof warranty are: [COVERAGE, CLAIM CONTACT, TERM].

Any production guarantee must state its measurement method and remedy; otherwise write none.

5. Utility, outage, and savings terms

Seller makes no promise of a utility rate, tax benefit, interconnection approval date, or savings amount except an express written guarantee in Exhibit B. The disclosure records the calculation and assumptions behind any estimate Seller supplied. Buyer will make the site available for agreed work and provide utility bills needed for the project only with Buyer's consent. The system's outage capability is as stated in the separate disclosure and Exhibit A; ordinary grid-tied solar without the listed storage and backup equipment does not supply household backup power during a grid outage. Renewable energy credit ownership, if any: [BUYER / SELLER / OTHER, DETAILS].

6. Changes, cancellation, and dispute process

Change orders. Any material equipment, scope, price or schedule change requires a written change order signed by both parties. Undisputed completed work remains payable under Section 3. If a party alleges breach, it will give the other a written description and a reasonable opportunity to discuss a solution; urgent safety work may proceed without waiting for that discussion.

Buyer's cancellation right. Buyer may cancel without financial penalty for at least three business days after receiving the initial signed agreement. The three business day clock does not start until the welcome call occurs. Seller will tell Buyer the specific cancellation deadline at signing and, if the welcome call occurs later, give an updated deadline and duplicate notices. The deadline printed on the notices cannot shorten the statutory period. Buyer may cancel by delivering or mailing a signed notice or other written statement to Seller's cancellation address; Seller will confirm receipt and return all payments. Seller will not commence roof penetrations before the cancellation period expires unless Buyer later gives a separate written request and applicable law permits the work.

Welcome call. Seller or its representative will call on or after the transaction date in the presentation language, verify Buyer's identity, confirm the price, solar DC and AC size, any battery capacity, and state that solar alone will not provide backup power without a paired storage system. The call will also address the cancellation right, disclosure and agreement, and any financing terms (none under this cash contract). Seller will address questions about the disclosure and record the call date: [__/__/____], time [____], representative [____]. Actual cancellation deadline after the call: [__/__/____] at midnight; issue corrected notice copies if later than the initial date below.

Disputes. Send a written complaint to the contact in Section 1. Within [____] days, the parties will confer by phone or in writing. If unresolved after [____] days, either may pursue an available court or agency remedy under applicable law. Colorado law governs this agreement. This process does not waive the cancellation right or require arbitration.

7. Entire agreement and signatures

The signed agreement, completed pre-contract disclosure, Exhibit A design and equipment schedule, Exhibit B warranties and guarantees, Exhibit C maintenance plan or written explanation, and the two completed cancellation notice copies identify the parties' transaction. If terms conflict, a mandatory consumer right controls. Amendments require both parties' signatures. Seller will give Buyer a copy of the signed agreement and each attachment.
