Create a collateral warrantyA collateral warranty is a separate agreement between the contractor and the employer that sets out additional terms and conditions relating to the works. The collateral warranty will often contain provisions relating to the quality of the works, the performance of the contractor, the liability of the contractor, and the indemnity of the employer. The collateral warranty will also contain a clause specifying that the agreement is collateral to the main contract and that it will remain in force even if the main contract is terminated.
In construction and property projects, the works contractor collateral warranty serves as an additional layer of protection for the purchaser or tenant, ensuring that they have direct contractual rights against the works contractor in case of any defects or issues with the works carried out. This warranty is typically used when a third party, such as a funder or an employer, requires additional assurances regarding the performance of a works contractor.
The template includes essential clauses that cover various aspects of the agreement, such as the scope of works, quality standards, fitness for purpose, compliance with regulations, and insurance requirements. It also sets out the specific obligations and responsibilities of the works contractor, such as rectifying defects or deficiencies, providing maintenance and aftercare services, and indemnifying the purchaser or tenant against any losses or damages incurred due to the contractor's negligence or breach of contract.
By using this legal template, both parties can clearly define their rights and obligations, providing peace of mind and legal recourse if any disputes arise throughout the project or during the occupation of the property. It adheres to UK law, taking into account relevant legislation, regulations, and common legal practices within the construction and property sectors in the United Kingdom.
