When signing a decoration contract with a decoration company, the owner must carefully and carefully look at the terms of the contract and guard against the eight traps of the home improvement contract. Xiaobian is listed one by one to prevent the owner from being deceived.
Trap 1: General Quotes for Confusing Materials
At the time of signing, a quotation for a certain material is calculated in a general way, and individual materials are replaced during construction.
Case: Mr. Lin renovates a dwelling. When signing an agreement with the home improvement company, he states that the wall paint consists of 520 yuan per barrel of paint and 420 yuan per barrel of primer. However, the home improvement company does not explain it to the owner when signing the agreement. Quoting together, but in the actual construction but with a unit price of about 120 yuan for the primer paint. With this kind of lacquer as primer, neither alkali nor moisture, the quality of the wall is not guaranteed, and the homeowner must pay more than 300 yuan per barrel.
Trap II: Unrealistic Explanation of Terms
Concoct some articles that are not specific or can be interpreted in multiple ways, waiting for the owner to be slaughtered.
Case: When Ms. Liu signed the renovation contract agreement with the home improvement company, Article 6 paragraph 5 reads: “After the contract is signed, before the project is started, if Party A requests to reduce the contracted item, it is a partial breach of contract. Party B shall pay the penalty of 20% of the amount of the reduction.†In the actual renovation, Ms. Liu felt that the originally designed wardrobe of the master bedroom and the bookshelf of the study had an unreasonable position and required movement. For this reason, the home improvement company stated that it would charge a fee for the reduction. change.
There are also home improvement companies that have left a pen in the design, such as a wider cabinet design and more cabinets. When the construction was found to be wide, and more, the demand was reduced, it fell into the contract of the home improvement company, and he only reluctantly paid for the breach of contract.
Trap 3: Insufficient engineering volume makes you happy
There are two kinds of underreporting projects, one of which is to understate the budget, and deliberately report or underreport the amount of the project when designing the plan, so that you feel that it is cheap and easy to sign the contract. When the settlement was settled, it was discovered that there was a large amount of money for the decoration.
Case: Mr. Huang complained that he had commissioned a decoration company to renovate a house. The initial offer price of the decoration company was RMB 38,989.33. However, in the middle period of the project, the company also asked him to add about RMB 10,000 to the original construction cost, otherwise it would Stop construction. The reason is that the contract stipulates that “the project price will be settled according to the actual project volume according to the company’s budgetâ€, and the actual amount of the floor, cabinets, etc. currently being constructed exceeds the budget.
The second is to deliberately calculate the number of individual projects. People feel that the project is quite large, but the unit price is cheap. In fact, if the budget drawings of the decoration company are used, it is impossible to complete the project.
Case: Miss Zhang, who invited the home improvement company to decorate her home in May this year, encountered such a worries. For such an “error,†she paid a total of more than 5,700 yuan.
Trap 4: Stealing materials to earn the difference
The contract is made up of high-value decorative materials. The actual materials used are low-priced and ordinary materials. They are also disguised and difficult to find.
Case: Ms. He's home decoration contract is a wood core board with a unit price of about 100 yuan. The construction company used 50 yuan per piece of Chinese fir or poplar wood instead. To hide their eyes and ears, in the exposed part of the wood core board specified in the contract, and deliberately find the labeled part, even if the owner of the complaint can not find evidence. In turn, the Sun brand electric wire was replaced with a poor quality line with a large difference in unit price.
Pitfall 5: Disparities in the same material quality
Some home improvement companies are eager to use consumer decoration, when signing the agreement, deliberately buried undercover.
Case: There is a clause on the agreement of a loading company: If the original brand material is out of stock in the decoration, Party B can temporarily replace the same type of material. This "same" is of the same quality as the same kind of material and is not stated. In this way, the home improvement company can confidently make money from poor quality materials.
Trap 6: Stealing and defrauding the homeowner
Homeowners usually have tight schedules, and it is impossible to inspect the entire site. Some home improvement companies, when they are not present on the premises, violate the contract in places that are not easy to find and cut corners.
Case: Mr. Chen recently complained to 12315. He found that after the renovation company did not evenly level the wall, it directly nailed the bottom plate of the cabinet to the wall, and the terms of the contract clearly stated that the wall after the pounding had to be mud leveled and then the cabinet was made. When law enforcement officers of the 12315 arrived at the scene, they found that the good cabinets were very bright and couldn't see what was behind them. It was not until Mr. Chen opened the cabinets that the pitted walls appeared.
Pitfall 7: The concept of confusion costs more
There are many professional terms for home improvement projects, and some home improvement companies use homeowners who are mostly laymen and steal concepts.
Case: Article 13 Clause 5 of the "Home Living Room Decoration Project Contract" signed by a packaging company and consumer Mr. Wang is: All kinds of furniture, such as cabinets, low cabinets, and hanging cabinets, are less than 1 meter in height. Calculated, the amount of engineering less than 1 meter is calculated as 1 meter, and more than 1 meter is calculated according to the actual meter. Consumers will understand this way: If less than 1 meter is calculated as 1 meter, more than one meter will be calculated according to the actual length. However, this is not the case. The so-called "Yanmi" calculation of the home improvement company is based on 1 meter count regardless of the length. For example, when Mr. Wang’s home renovation was settled, the home improvement company calculated it like this: the master bedroom closet is 24.7 meters to 25 meters, the TV cabinet is 4.24 meters to 5 meters... only this “Yimi†algorithm fits in. More than 1,000 yuan.
Trap 8: Earn money ahead of time to save money
Home decoration contracts generally have such a clause: the payment method is that the project will start paying 30%-70%, the project will pay 95% of the total price, and the remaining 5% will be paid after all the projects have been checked and accepted.
Case: Some consumers think that the decoration money stipulated by both parties is similar to early payment and late payment, but it is not. The homeowners often find out that the renovations that are cutting corners and materials can be found when the project is half or more than half of the time. In that case, the decoration company has withdrawn from their theory, because they have already made enough money to leave a half-lay project for you. You can't speak hard, but nominally you still owe him money.
