How a Contractor Can Recover a Retention Payment Under a Contract for Work and Services
A guarantee retention is a portion of the payment under a contract for work and services that the client withholds from settlements with the contractor for the duration of the warranty period for the quality of the completed work. As a rule, a few percent of the contract price is withheld, and the amount and conditions for its return are specified in the contract. In practice, the contractor receives this money with a delay — after the agreed warranty period has expired or after other conditions have been met (for example, the commissioning of the facility), provided that the client has no claims regarding the quality of the work.
