Home Improvement Act is for benefit of consumer and compliance with its terms may be waived by the consumer, either explicitly or by nonassertion. 247 C. 242. Violation of act by home improvement contractor does not preclude contractor from reducing the damages it owes for breach of contract to a nonbreaching homeowner by an amount equal to the unpaid balance remaining on the contract. 290 C. 1.
Contract between contractor and subcontractor not within purview of the act. 13 CA 194. Cited. 18 CA 463; Id., 581; 20 CA 625; 24 CA 223; 27 CA 162; 33 CA 294; 35 CA 253; 38 CA 420; 40 CA 351; 41 CA 476; 42 CA 124; 45 CA 586; Id., 743. Individual does not have to be a general contractor to fall within the purview of the act since the act only requires him to be a contractor, as opposed to a subcontractor, and review of record showed defendant acted as a contractor. 121 CA 105.
