VERTEX and American Red Cross Blood Drive 2023 Vertex hosted a Blood Drive in support of the American Red Cross. Our volunteers were quick to help with whatever tasks were required to ensure the smooth running of the drive. We did something that was “bigger than ourselves,” and we thank both our volunteers and donors very much. Vertex employees donated in person and virtually. Given the nationwide shortage of blood, this aligns with the global Health and Safety Day’s theme of emergency preparedness. Our team's generosity and support have made a positive impact on our community. Thank you for helping to save lives!

Causes, Procedures, and Implications of Termination for Default Basics The ideal way for construction contracts to end is with both parties satisfactorily completing their obligations under the contract. So, what happens when this is not the case? Standard construction contract forms between an owner and a contractor define remedies to protect the performing party from the nonperforming party. Owner remedies often include, but are not limited to, the ability to suspend, supplement, reduce scope, trigger dispute resolution or terminate the contractor for default. Contractor remedies generally include the ability to issue change orders, time extensions, trigger dispute resolution, stop work under certain conditions, or terminate the owner for default. Termination for default is the most severe remedy that each party has against the other. In this post, we explore: -the causal factors that may meet the threshold for termination for default -procedural requirements and provisions to prevent termination for default -the costs and complexities behind pursuing termination for default -how to proceed if there is no other option.
