I have concerns about a contract's language regarding my lien rights. The job is located in Mississippi. We are a business located in Wisconsin. We would be a sub to the General Contractor (who is also the owner). We have never seen language like this in any contract and I am uncertain as to what the language actually means. Is this language particular to the State of Mississippi? Is the notice the contract speaks of actually the notice of intent to lien? The language in the contract reads as follows: part (D) - For any lien right Subcontractor may claim or desire to assert against Contractor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcontract or otherwise, Subcontractor must first provide Contractor with written notice of a claimed legitimate dispute between the parties hereto by giving Contractor 45 days prior written notice of such claimed dispute, , which note shall set forth in particular detail the nature of the claim, the proposed amount of the claim and demonstrates that Subcontractor is not in default of any of the terms and conditions of this Subcontract. During said 45 day notice period, Subcontractor and Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any such claimed dispute, failing in which, Subcontractor shall provide 15 days prior written notice to Owner of the property and Contractor that satisfactory resolution of the claimed dispute has not occurred and that Subcontractor intends to file a lien against Owner's property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Subcontract or otherwise. Failure to provide the notices required herein shall constitute a waiver of Subcontractor's rights to file any lien against the Owner's property. The provisions of this section are not intended to grant to Subcontractor any additional line rights other than those provided by statute. All such notices required by this Section 13 (d) shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.
