Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Khronos Group 305 LLC — Florida Certified Building Contractor, License #CBC1262672

By accessing this website, submitting information through it, or engaging Khronos Group 305 LLC ("Khronos," "we," "us," or "our"), you acknowledge and agree to the following.

Part I — Licensing & scope of services

1. Licensing status

Khronos Group 305 LLC holds Florida certified building contractor license #CBC1262672, issued by the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board under Chapter 489, Florida Statutes. We are not a licensed architecture or engineering firm. No team member holds an active architect or professional engineer license unless expressly identified as such, with license number, on this website. All services are provided within the scope permitted under Chapter 489 and do not constitute architectural services under Chapter 481 or engineering services under Chapter 471.

2. Design & drafting services

Design concepts, space planning, renderings, and drafting provided by Khronos are performed under the following frameworks:

(a) Drafting under licensed professional supervision. For any project requiring architectural or engineering design, Khronos performs drafting and production services under the direct supervision, instruction, and control of a Florida-licensed architect or professional engineer, consistent with Florida Statute 481.221(2) and the exemption recognized under Florida Statute 489.103(11). The supervising licensed professional exercises responsible supervisory control over the design, retains sole professional responsibility for all design decisions and the sealed work product, and is the architect or engineer of record. Khronos does not exercise independent professional design judgment on such projects and does not hold itself out as the design professional of record.

(b) Contractor-prepared documents. For limited categories of work, and only where permitted by applicable law and accepted by the local building official, Khronos may prepare construction documents incidental to contracting services within the scope of license #CBC1262672. Acceptance of such documents is at the discretion of the applicable code enforcement agency, and Khronos makes no representation that any jurisdiction will accept them. Where a jurisdiction requires sealed documents, they are prepared or sealed by a licensed design professional as described in subsection (a).

Khronos's materials do not constitute architectural plans or engineering design and are not represented as such in any marketing, proposal, or deliverable.

3. Subcontracted & specialty trades

Work outside the scope of license #CBC1262672 — including electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roofing, and other specialty trades — is performed by appropriately licensed subcontractors. Consistent with Florida Statute 489.113(9)(a), Khronos acts as prime contractor only where the majority of contracted work falls within its license scope. Each licensed subcontractor is responsible for its own work, licensure, and insurance.

4. Permitting & legalization services (including after-the-fact permits)

Khronos assists clients with permit applications, permit coordination, and legalization of existing unpermitted or non-conforming work, including after-the-fact ("AFP") permitting. Clients acknowledge:

  • After-the-fact permitting may involve additional fees, fines, or penalties imposed by the applicable jurisdiction, which are the client's sole responsibility.
  • Legalization outcomes depend on pre-existing property conditions, current code requirements, and the discretion of the permitting authority.
  • Khronos does not guarantee that any structure, alteration, or improvement can be legalized. Some conditions may require demolition, remediation, or modification beyond Khronos's control or original scope.
  • Khronos is not responsible for original installation, construction, design, or code violations created by other parties — including prior owners, unlicensed workers, or other contractors — before our engagement.
  • Existing conditions may require upgrade to current Florida Building Code standards, materially increasing project cost and scope.

5. Inspection services

General inspections performed or coordinated by Khronos reflect only the visible and accessible condition of the property at the time of inspection and are not exhaustive. They exclude destructive testing, concealed conditions, and areas not safely accessible. Specialized inspections used for insurance purposes (wind mitigation, 4-point) are performed only by personnel meeting the qualifications required under Florida Statute 627.711. General inspections are not a substitute for structural, roofing, pool/spa, mold, radon, or engineering assessments requiring a separately licensed or certified professional. Any inspection report is informational only, valid as of the date and time of inspection, and does not constitute a warranty or guarantee of present or future condition.

6. Owner's representative services

When acting as owner's representative, Khronos represents the client's interests in coordinating design professionals, contractors, permitting agencies, and inspectors. This role does not make Khronos the architect, engineer, general contractor of record (unless separately contracted as such under license #CBC1262672), or guarantor of any third party's work, materials, or professional judgment. Final decisions and approvals remain the client's responsibility unless expressly delegated in writing.

7. No guarantee of outcomes

Khronos does not guarantee permit approval, inspection approval, zoning approval, legalization approval, financing, insurability, appraisal value, or any other outcome from any municipal, county, state, federal, or private authority.

Part II — Warranties

8. Express warranty

Khronos warrants that construction work performed under a signed contract will be completed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with the approved plans and applicable building code, for the period stated in that contract. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment pass through to the client and are the sole warranties applicable to those items.

9. Disclaimer of other warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, and except for the express warranty above and any warranty that cannot lawfully be disclaimed, Khronos disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing in this section limits any implied warranty that Florida law does not permit to be disclaimed. Design and drafting deliverables are provided without warranty as to permit approval or acceptance by any authority. Inspection reports are provided without warranty of any kind.

10. Warranty exclusions

No warranty applies to: pre-existing conditions; work performed by others; damage from misuse, neglect, deferred maintenance, or failure to follow maintenance recommendations; damage from weather events, flooding, storm surge, or acts of God; normal wear, settlement, or cosmetic variation; or client-directed deviations from recommended methods or materials.

Part III — Hazardous materials & pre-existing conditions

11. Lead-based paint

For target housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978, renovation work is subject to the federal EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule, 40 C.F.R. Part 745. Khronos performs such work in accordance with applicable RRP requirements and provides the required lead hazard information pamphlet before work begins. Clients are responsible for disclosing known lead-based paint or hazards on the property.

12. Asbestos, mold, and other hazardous materials

Khronos is not a licensed asbestos consultant or contractor, mold assessor, or mold remediator under Chapters 469 or 468, Florida Statutes, unless separately licensed and identified as such. Khronos does not perform hazardous materials testing, assessment, abatement, or remediation. If asbestos-containing materials, mold, radon, or other hazardous conditions are encountered or suspected, work in the affected area stops and the client is responsible for engaging an appropriately licensed specialist. Costs and delays arising from such conditions are the client's responsibility and are addressed by written change order.

13. Concealed and pre-existing conditions

Khronos is not responsible for conditions concealed within walls, floors, ceilings, or below grade that were not reasonably discoverable before work commenced. Discovery of such conditions may require change orders adjusting scope, cost, and schedule.

Part IV — Statutory notices

The notices in this Part are summaries for informational purposes. The statutorily prescribed notice language is provided in writing within each applicable contract, and that contractual notice — not this summary — satisfies the statutory requirement.

14. Florida Homeowners' Construction Recovery Fund

Florida homeowners may be eligible for restitution from the Florida Homeowners' Construction Recovery Fund if they suffer specified financial loss as a result of misconduct by a licensed contractor. For information about eligibility and claim procedures, contact the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board at 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, FL 32399-1039, or (850) 487-1395. The notice required by Florida Statute 489.1425 is provided within each applicable residential construction contract.

15. Construction defect pre-suit procedures (Chapter 558)

Florida law contains requirements that must be followed before filing a lawsuit or other action for an alleged construction defect. Written notice of the alleged defect must be served, and Khronos must be given the opportunity to inspect and respond with an offer to repair, remedy, or settle. You are not obligated to accept any offer. Strict deadlines and procedures apply under Chapter 558, Florida Statutes, and the statutory notice is provided within each applicable contract.

16. Construction lien law

Under Chapter 713, Florida Statutes, persons who work on your property or provide materials and are not paid in full have a right to enforce a claim against your property known as a construction lien. Your property may be subject to a lien even if you have paid your contractor in full. Protect yourself by requesting a written release of lien from each person or company that sends you a Notice to Owner. The statutory lien law warning is provided within each applicable contract.

17. Statutes of limitation and repose

Claims for construction defects in Florida are subject to the limitation and repose periods in Florida Statute 95.11. Clients are responsible for asserting any claim within the applicable statutory period.

18. Insurance

Khronos maintains general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage as required by Chapters 440 and 489, Florida Statutes. Certificates of insurance are available on request. Policy limits do not constitute a guarantee of recovery on any claim.

Part V — Client obligations & liability

19. Client responsibilities

Clients are solely responsible for: (a) verifying that final construction documents have been sealed by a licensed architect or engineer where required; (b) fully and accurately disclosing known code violations, unpermitted work, structural concerns, hazardous materials, or property history relevant to our services; (c) compliance with applicable codes, zoning ordinances, HOA covenants, and deed restrictions; (d) obtaining independent professional or legal review where desired; and (e) providing lawful access to the property.

20. Estimates, pricing, and change orders

Pricing, timeline, or scope information on this website is illustrative only and is not a binding offer or estimate. Binding terms exist only in a written, signed contract. Costs and schedules may change due to concealed conditions, code requirements, permitting delays, material availability, or client-requested modifications, addressed through written change orders.

21. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, Khronos and its officers, members, employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from this website or our services, except as expressly agreed in a signed contract. Nothing in this section limits or waives liability for gross negligence, willful or wanton misconduct, personal injury or death caused by our negligence, violations of Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (Chapter 501), or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

22. Indemnification

Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Khronos and its officers, members, employees, and contractors from claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from the client's misuse of deliverables, failure to disclose relevant property conditions, failure to obtain required licensed review, or violation of applicable law. This indemnification does not extend to claims arising from Khronos's own negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, and is capped at the total fees paid by the client for the applicable service, a limitation intended to satisfy Florida Statute 725.06.

23. Force majeure

Khronos is not liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including hurricanes, tropical storms, flooding, fire, labor disputes, supply chain disruption, governmental or permitting agency delay, or public health emergency.

24. No legal, architectural, or engineering advice

Content on this website is general information only and does not constitute legal, architectural, engineering, real estate, insurance, or other professional advice.

Part VI — Dispute resolution

25. Notice and opportunity to cure

Before initiating any claim, the client shall provide written notice describing the issue and allow Khronos a reasonable opportunity to inspect and cure, in addition to any requirements under Chapter 558.

26. Mediation

Any dispute not resolved under Section 25 shall first be submitted to mediation in the county where the project is located, with costs shared equally. Mediation is a condition precedent to litigation or arbitration, except for lien enforcement, injunctive relief, or claims within small claims jurisdiction.

27. Attorney's fees

In any action arising from this disclaimer or our services, the prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs, to the extent permitted by law.

28. Governing law and venue

Florida law governs, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Venue lies in the county where the project is located or where Khronos maintains its principal place of business.
