In the case of a conditional exemption, the exemption is only binding if proof of payment to the applicant is available. Proof of payment may be provided by: An unconditional waiver and compensation for progressive payment is a formal document prepared by one party and presented to the other party with the promise not to take legal action if compensation is provided for products and services already delivered. If you negotiate a progress payment, it means that the other party will receive instalment payments when different phases of the project are completed or after the services have been fully provided. It is up to the applicant to accept the advance payment instead of suing the other party. Caution: Paying your contractor (and/or obtaining an exemption from your contractor) does not guarantee that other applicants, such as subcontractors and suppliers, will be paid. An applicant is a person who, if not paid, can deposit a lien on your property. Download an unconditional waiver and approval template for the progressive payment from the link below.
