The Customer represents that:

Easements
Rights-of-way
Conservation areas
HOA-restricted areas
Utility corridors
Access limitations
Areas not authorized for work

Where work occurs near a property boundary, the Customer may be required to provide adequate boundary markers, survey information, or other documentation.

The Customer is responsible for obtaining permission before work occurs on or requires access through property owned by another party.

8. COLORADO 811 & UNDERGROUND UTILITIES

Yeti Defensible Landworks will comply with applicable Colorado underground utility notification requirements.

For excavation or other ground-disturbing work, Yeti Defensible Landworks may submit the required Colorado 811 locate request in accordance with applicable law.

Colorado 811 requirements apply to excavation even when work occurs on private property and even when excavation is relatively shallow. Colorado 811 also states that the company performing the excavation must submit the locate request in its own name.

Yeti Defensible Landworks will not rely solely on an old utility locate, information supplied by a previous contractor, or verbal assurances that underground utilities do not exist.

The Customer understands that Colorado 811 does not locate all private utilities.

Private utilities may include:

Private water lines
Irrigation systems
Sprinkler lines
Septic systems
Private sewer lines
Private electrical lines
Propane lines
Gas lines serving private facilities
Invisible or electric fences
Buried tanks
Other privately owned underground facilities

Private utilities generally must be located separately by an appropriate private locating service.

The Customer is responsible for identifying known private utilities and, when required, arranging for private utility locating at the Customer's expense unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Yeti Defensible Landworks may delay or refuse to begin excavation until required utility locates have been completed, markings are reasonably visible, and the work area is considered safe to enter.

Yeti Defensible Landworks will exercise reasonable care around marked utilities and will comply with applicable excavation requirements, including applicable requirements concerning the utility tolerance zone. Colorado 811 currently identifies an 18-inch tolerance zone around marked utilities.

If utility markings are missing, damaged, inconsistent with site conditions, or otherwise questionable, Yeti Defensible Landworks may stop work until the issue is resolved.

9. HIDDEN & UNFORESEEN CONDITIONS

Yeti Defensible Landworks is not responsible for conditions that could not reasonably be identified before work began, except to the extent liability is imposed by applicable law.

Examples include:

Abandoned structures
Septic components
Underground tanks
Irrigation systems
Unstable soil
Hidden rocks or boulders
Sinkholes
Unstable trees or limbs

If unforeseen conditions materially affect the safety, cost, or feasibility of the project, Yeti Defensible Landworks may stop work and discuss revised scope, pricing, or scheduling with the Customer before continuing.

Yeti Defensible Landworks may operate heavy equipment including:

Compact track loaders

Rocks and other projectiles

The Customer agrees to keep unauthorized persons, children, pets, livestock, and vehicles away from active work areas.

11. FENCES, GATES, LIVESTOCK, PETS & AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY

The Customer must identify fencing, gates, livestock areas, electric fencing, invisible fences, corrals, agricultural equipment, animal enclosures, and other features that may interfere with equipment operations.

The Customer is responsible for securing pets and livestock away from active work areas.

The Customer must provide reasonable access through gates and other access points.

Yeti Defensible Landworks is not responsible for animals or property that enter an active work area despite reasonable precautions, except to the extent caused by Yeti Defensible Landworks' negligence or other liability imposed by applicable law.

12. PROPERTY & GROUND DISTURBANCE

The Customer understands that heavy equipment operations may result in:

Track or tire impressions
Soil compaction
Rutting
Ground disturbance
Dust
Changes to vegetation
Movement of rocks
Exposure of rocks or roots
Changes in surface conditions
Changes in drainage or runoff
Vibration
Noise
Other ordinary effects associated with heavy equipment

Yeti Defensible Landworks will use reasonable care in performing the agreed services.

However, some degree of ground disturbance is an inherent and foreseeable consequence of land clearing, grading, forestry mulching, and other equipment-based services.

The Customer accepts ordinary ground disturbance associated with the agreed scope of work.

13. FORESTRY MULCHING, TREES & VEGETATION

The Customer understands that forestry mulching and vegetation management involve inherent risks associated with trees, brush, rocks, slopes, terrain, falling limbs, hidden objects, and changing site conditions.

Unless specifically included in the written scope:

Forestry mulching does not constitute complete root removal.
Stump grinding or excavation is not included unless specifically stated.
Large logs may remain on site unless removal is specifically included.
Mulched material may remain on or near the ground.
Certain vegetation may remain where removal would be unsafe, impractical, outside the agreed scope, or require additional work.
Vegetation may naturally regrow after treatment.

Any requested hauling, disposal, stacking, chipping, or relocation of material may constitute additional work.

15. WILDFIRE MITIGATION & FIRE CONDITIONS

Yeti Defensible Landworks provides wildfire mitigation and vegetation-management services intended to reduce certain vegetation and fuel hazards.

The Customer understands that wildfire mitigation:

does not guarantee that a property will be protected from wildfire.

Wildfire behavior is affected by numerous factors outside the control of Yeti Defensible Landworks, including:

Wind
Weather
Terrain
Fuel conditions
Ember exposure
Neighboring properties
Fire behavior
Fire suppression resources

Red Flag Warnings
High winds
Extreme fire danger
Local fire restrictions
Fire bans
Dry or unsafe conditions
Equipment-generated ignition risk
Smoke conditions
Other conditions creating an unreasonable fire hazard

No wildfire mitigation service should be interpreted as a guarantee of compliance with a specific governmental, insurance, fire-district, or defensible-space standard unless that specific standard is expressly identified in writing as part of the scope.

16. WEATHER, NATURAL CONDITIONS & SCHEDULING

Work may be postponed, delayed, or rescheduled because of:

Rain
Snow
Ice
Frozen ground

Lightning
Extreme temperatures
Fire restrictions

Equipment availability
Equipment failure
Other circumstances outside Yeti Defensible Landworks' reasonable control

Land clearing, grading, vegetation removal, and other ground-disturbing activities may change surface conditions, drainage, runoff, soil exposure, and erosion characteristics.

Unless specifically included in the written scope, Yeti Defensible Landworks does not provide engineering, hydrological, surveying, environmental, or erosion-control services.

The Customer is responsible for obtaining professional engineering or other specialized services when required.

Yeti Defensible Landworks is not responsible for erosion, runoff, settling, drainage changes, flooding, or other natural changes occurring after completion due to weather, natural processes, subsequent property use, or conditions outside the company's reasonable control, except to the extent caused by Yeti Defensible Landworks' negligence or other liability imposed by applicable law.

Conservation easements
Environmental restrictions
Wetlands
Protected areas
HOA restrictions
Government restrictions
Protected vegetation
Watercourse restrictions
Access restrictions
Historic or archaeological restrictions
Other legal restrictions affecting the property

Unless expressly included in writing, Yeti Defensible Landworks does not represent that it has independently determined all governmental, environmental, conservation, zoning, HOA, or property restrictions applicable to the project.
