How do I set my claim day?

1. Open the job, then the Contract tab. The six terms are under the list of contract versions.
2. They are: your claim day, how many days the builder has to pay after you serve, how many days you have to give notice of a variation, the share of each claim held as retention, the limit on the total held, and the length of the defects liability period.
3. Each term is in one of three states.
4. Read from a clause: it shows the clause number and the words it was read from.
5. Recorded by somebody on your account: it shows who, and on what day.
6. Blank: it shows the question that would fill it, and what a guessed figure would cost you.
7. Type a term in. YourCA holds it against the job immediately.
8. You do not need a contract review for any of this. A term you record is enough for YourCA to work out the dates that depend on it.
9. An in depth review may read a term from a clause that the job does not already use. Then the term shows you the clause and the words, and Use clause and its number puts it on the job.
10. Nothing takes it for you. After it is on the job, it stops moving. So a later version of the contract cannot quietly change a figure your claims were built on.
11. If the term on the job already came from that same clause and reads the same, YourCA offers nothing, because there is nothing to take.
12. A term that shows its clause and the words underneath is already yours.
13. If a newer contract reads the same clause differently, the offer shows and gives both figures. You pick the version you work to.
14. The retention share and the limit are financial, so a foreman or a field worker does not see those two.
15. They still see the other four, because a claim day and a notice period are dates, not financial figures.
16. Download the commercial terms, on the band at the top of The contract, writes the six terms on one page as a PDF or a Word document, on your letterhead. It is for your bookkeeper, your bank or your own site lead. It appears once at least one term is filled in, and not while you are looking at Archived.
17. Each term shows the clause it was read from and the words of that clause. A term the contract was not read for prints as not stated, never a figure. A term recorded by hand says no clause is cited.
18. The section stays open on a job you wrapped up. Retention, unpaid claims and the defects liability period all continue after the last day on site.
