Common use of One-Year Warranty Clause in Contracts

One-Year Warranty. If, after the approval of Final Payment or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special warranty or guarantee required by the Contract Documents, any Work fails to perform its intended purpose, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to County and in accordance with County’s written instructions, either correct such defect, or, if it has been rejected by County, remove it from the site and replace it. If Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, County may have the defective Work corrected or the rejected Work removed and replaced, and all direct and indirect costs of such removal and replacement, including compensation for additional professional services shall be paid by Contractor. Notwithstanding the above, this provision shall not modify, restrict or impair the County’s rights against the Contractor either during or subsequent to the expiration of said period, it being understood that said period establishes an additional remedy to the County in the event any portion of the Work fails after Final Payment. This contractual warranty period shall have no limiting effect on the County’s right to make a claim against Contractor for the discovery of any latent defect(s) in the Work discovered before or after the expiration of the warranty period.
