Normal wear and tear, rust, or corrosion (unless a protective coating was included in the scope of work)
Failure of pre-existing materials or structures that we welded to or repaired

Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount paid for the specific work in question. Monaco Metalworks is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Safety & Access

Welding and metal fabrication involve inherent hazards including heat, sparks, fumes, and heavy materials. For everyone's safety:

The client is responsible for providing safe and reasonable access to the work area
The work area must be cleared of flammable materials, debris, and obstructions before we arrive
Children, pets, and unauthorized individuals must be kept away from the work zone during active welding
For mobile welding jobs, the client must ensure adequate space and ventilation at the work site
If site conditions are deemed unsafe, Monaco Metalworks reserves the right to pause or decline work until conditions are corrected

Monaco Metalworks carries appropriate insurance for our operations. The client is responsible for any permits required for the project unless otherwise agreed in writing.

We understand that plans change. If you need to cancel or reschedule:

Please provide at least 24 hours' notice for scheduled appointments
Cancellations made after materials have been purchased may be subject to a restocking fee or material cost
Custom fabrication projects that are already in progress cannot be fully refunded, but we will work with you to find a fair resolution
Deposits for custom work may be non-refundable once materials have been ordered or fabrication has begun

Intellectual Property

Any custom designs, drawings, or fabrication plans created by Monaco Metalworks remain our intellectual property unless a written agreement states otherwise.

We may photograph completed projects for use in our portfolio, website, and marketing materials unless you request otherwise in writing. No personally identifying information will be shared without your permission.
