Retractable awnings are intended to be used as shading devices and are designed for sun protection only. Motion/wind sensors do not, in any way, guarantee against damage from winds in excess of 20-25 mph.

It is incumbent on the customer to pay attention to the weather and retract the awning if the wind picks up, or if it starts to rain, snow, or hail.

Every home’s construction is different depending on the age of the home. Because of this fact and because awnings require brackets to be placed near the arms, there are times that we need to move the awning to the right or left of the intended installation locations to ensure a secure physical connection to the home. If during installation, Massachusetts Awning is unable to find any studs or rafters near enough to the awning to be usable, we will inform you before proceeding and discuss the options that are available to move forward.

It is the obligation of the customer to consider how the sun moves in the sky and casts the shadow at their location. Short projection awnings or sun that travels to the side of the awning or is at a steep angle will have the largest negative impact on the shading. Massachusetts Awning will not relieve the customer from their responsibility to make payment if it turns out they are unhappy with the shading situation after the awning is installed. Angled sun can affect the shade cast by the awning at your location.

PAYMENT

Massachusetts Awnings requires fifty (50%) of the total order due at the time of order placement with the remaining fifty (50%) balance due at the time of installation. Massachusetts Awning shall retain title to all goods pending receipt of the entire purchase price. NO Warranty will be in force when the agreed-upon balance of the contract has not been paid.

c. Enforce and foreclose a lien against the said property without further notice to the Customer; and/or,

d. Void any warranties and pursue any other remedy available to said the company in law or in equity.

The estimated delivery date of this order is subject to contingencies beyond the control of Massachusetts Awning, including but not limited to fires, strikes, lockout, inability to secure material, labor or transportation, inclement weather, accidents, Acts of God, and unavailability of Customer. In the event of the occurrence of such contingency, the estimated delivery date shall be extended by equal duration to the extent of the duration of such contingency.
