STEPS TO RESCIND AN AOB CONTRACT

Written notice to rescind the contract may be submitted to the third party:

1. Within 14 Days after executing the AOB contract
2. At least 30 days after the date the third-party vendor is scheduled to start work, if that vendor has not already completed a substantial amount of the work
3. At least 30 days after executing the AOB, if the AOB does not have a start date for the work and the third-party vendor has not begun substantial work on the property
