| MBA
Restoration Service Contract |
| |
In the aftermath of the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons,
MBA helped property owners recover more than 25 million dollars in excessive
and fraudulent charges. This amount would have doubled if property owners
had not been willing to sign the contract presented by the restoration
contractor. Many of these documents are notorious for the inherent excesses
and abuse that they perpetrate. MBA encourages you to look after your
own interests and do not become a victim of the recovery as well as a
victim of the disaster. |
| |
We are most vulnerable in the aftermath of disaster.
The stress and sense of urgency make us susceptible to any offer of assistance.
We are inclined to accept any assistance offered without understanding
the terms and conditions of the offer, and, this is where, this is when,
it happens. We sign a contract that is a one sided manifestation of evil
designed to extract the maximum amount of money in the shortest period
of time. And, by the time we realize it we have squandered away our resources
and we still have not recovered. |

The MBA Contract is an unbiased third party contract
that establishes a standard of good faith and fair dealing for the property
owner and the contractor alike. This contract was designed by the most
experienced and knowledge professionals in the disaster recovery industry
and it establishes a balanced agreement that protects all parties. This
contract is available on line simply by accessing the application, entering
