MSC TERMS & CONDITIONS

(Industrial Painting & Coatings Work)

I. Materials, Application and Market Cost Increase

(i) Material requirements and coating application shall be performed in accordance with manufacturer specifications and accepted industry standards.

(ii) MSC is not responsible for market cost increases due to supply chain disruptions, material shortages, manufacturer rate increases, tariffs, or regulatory impacts. Customer will have the option to approve a Change Order reflecting adjusted pricing or accept alternate coating systems that may reduce costs.

II. Site Conditions & Requirements

(i) MSC will maintain responsible supervision to control proper execution and completion of all work. Customer shall provide secure storage space for materials, adequate electrical service, water (if required), finish lighting, safe access to all work areas, dumpster for debris disposal, and uninterrupted access to the project site.

(ii) Customer shall maintain environmental conditions suitable for coating installation including temperature, humidity, ventilation, and protection from weather or contamination throughout application and curing.

(iii) Customer shall ensure work areas are clean, accessible, and free of obstructions including equipment, inventory, and stored materials unless otherwise disclosed in writing. Additional charges may apply for working around obstructions.

(iv) No other trades shall perform work within the active coating area during project execution unless coordinated with MSC. Customer shall protect completed work from damage caused by its personnel or subsequent contractors.

(v) Certain coating systems, solvents, preparation methods, or blasting activities may generate dust, debris, overspray, fumes, and odor. Customer is responsible for protecting sensitive equipment, products, or materials from contamination. MSC assumes no responsibility for damage to unprotected items.

III. Access, Scaffolding & Work Sequencing

(i) Unless specifically included in the proposal, Customer shall provide safe and adequate access to all work areas including scaffolding, lifts, swing stages, fall protection systems, and structural tie-off engineering.

(ii) Pricing and schedule are based upon reasonable work continuity. If production operations, restricted work hours, traffic, or phased access reduce efficiency or require resequencing of work, MSC reserves the right to adjust pricing and schedule through a Change Order.

(iii) Standby time resulting from Customer delays, access limitations, coordination issues with other trades, or operational constraints shall be billable.

IV. Surface Conditions & Corrosion Assumptions

(i) Surface preparation scope and pricing are based upon visible and reasonably anticipated conditions at the time of bid.

(ii) MSC is not responsible for hidden corrosion, coating delamination, structural deterioration, substrate contamination, or defects not reasonably identifiable during inspection.

(iii) Discovery of additional corrosion, pitting, scale, coating failure, or substrate degradation requiring increased preparation, repair, or coating system modification shall be treated as extra work subject to Change Order approval.

(iv) Variations in coating appearance including gloss level, texture, color shading, or overspray boundaries are inherent to industrial coating processes and shall not be considered defects unless otherwise specified.

(v) Where color selection, coating appearance, or finish quality is material to the scope, Customer shall review and approve physical or digital color samples and, where applicable, mock-up panels prior to full-scale application. Written or signed approval of samples releases MSC from claims related to color, sheen, or appearance consistent with the approved sample.

V. Hazardous Materials & Environmental Conditions

(i) MSC will collect and dispose of non-hazardous job-related debris into Customer-provided containers. Hazardous waste generated from industrial processes or pre-existing site conditions remains the responsibility of the Owner unless otherwise specified.

(iii) If hazardous materials or unsafe conditions are encountered, MSC reserves the right to suspend work until such conditions are corrected. MSC shall receive schedule extensions and compensation for costs associated with resulting delays.

(iv) Where abrasive blasting or specialized containment is required, disposal of resulting waste shall be the responsibility of the Owner unless otherwise included in the proposal.

VI. Change Order Process

(i) Any deviation from the original scope of work, materials, schedule, site conditions, or access requirements shall be documented through a written Change Order prior to commencement of additional work.

(ii) Change Orders must be submitted in writing by MSC and approved in writing by Customer prior to execution. MSC reserves the right to pause work on affected scope pending Customer approval.

(iii) Customer shall provide a written response to any submitted Change Order within five (5) business days. Absent written approval within this period, MSC shall not be authorized to proceed on the changed scope.

(iv) All approved Change Orders are subject to the same payment and cancellation terms as the original agreement. Verbal authorizations are not binding on MSC.

This indemnification shall not be construed to expand either party’s liability beyond what is expressly permitted under this agreement.

(vi) Photo & Portfolio Rights: MSC reserves the right to photograph and document completed work for internal records, marketing, and portfolio use. Images depicting Customer’s facility will not include identifying information without prior written consent from Customer.

VIII. Debris Removal

(vi) Final Acceptance: Upon substantial completion of work, MSC shall provide written notice to Customer.

(vii) Mechanic’s Lien Reservation: MSC expressly reserves all rights to file a mechanic’s lien, materialman’s lien, or other statutory lien against the subject property in the event of non-payment.
