2.3 Unified Legal Protection.

3. Services

3.1 Informational Purpose Only; No Online Contract Formation. The Website is provided solely to furnish general information regarding the Company's construction, renovation, accessibility, Murphy Wall Bed®, and tile installation services, as well as to facilitate initial inquiries and consultation requests. Nothing contained on the Website constitutes a binding offer to perform services, and no contract for construction, renovation, installation, or any other services is formed through your access to or use of the Website alone, nor through the submission or receipt of any online contact or inquiry form.

3.2 Requirement of Separate Written Agreement. All actual services performed by The Maynard Group or any of its subsidiary brands are strictly subject to, and governed exclusively by, separate written project agreements, formally executed construction or installation contracts, or counter-signed written quotes executed by both the Client and an authorized representative of the Company. In the event of any conflict between the general information on the Website and an executed project agreement, the terms of the executed written project agreement shall govern.

3.3 Availability, Scheduling, and Site-Assessment Approval. All services described on the Website are subject to geographic service area limitations within New Brunswick, seasonal weather conditions, trade and material availability, project scheduling capacity, municipal permitting requirements, and satisfactory on-site physical inspection and site-assessment approval by qualified personnel of the Company.

3.4 Right to Decline Projects. The Company expressly reserves the absolute right, in its sole and unfettered discretion, to decline, refuse, or discontinue any project inquiry, consultation request, estimate request, or proposed engagement at any time and for any lawful reason, without liability of any kind to the inquiring party.

4. Quotes, Estimates & Project Agreements

4.1 Non-Binding Nature of Preliminary Estimates. All preliminary quotes, ballpark figures, cost ranges, and estimates provided through the Website, or communicated verbally or electronically via telephone, email, or messaging prior to a formal contract, are strictly informational and non-binding until formally confirmed in writing and signed by an authorized representative of The Maynard Group following an appropriate review of project specifications.

4.2 Validity Period of Written Quotes. Unless a different duration is expressly stated on the face of a written quotation document, all formal written quotes issued by the Company are valid for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of issuance, after which they automatically expire and are subject to re-pricing.

4.3 Pricing Adjustments and Site Conditions. Final project pricing is subject to adjustment and may vary from initial estimates based upon actual physical site conditions discovered prior to or during work (including hidden structural defects, electrical or plumbing non-compliance, moisture, mold, or substrate irregularities), fluctuations in material or supply costs, engineering or code requirements, unforeseen circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control, or Client-requested changes to the project scope ("Change Orders").

4.4 Preconditions to Commencement of Work. Under no circumstances will The Maynard Group or any of its subsidiary brands schedule project mobilization, order custom materials, or commence physical construction, renovation, or installation work without: (a) a fully executed written agreement or formally signed quote accepted by both parties; and (b) where applicable under the terms of such agreement, receipt and clearance of the required initial project deposit.
