The same right is not automatically afforded to a contractor,however. The contractor would have to resolve any dispute he/she has with a homeowner in court unless both parties agree to the optional clause provided below. This clause would give the contractor the same right to arbitration as is afforded to the homeowner by the Home Improvement Contractor Law. The contractor and the homeowner hereby mutually agree in advance that in the event the contractor has a dispute concerning this contract,the contractor may submit the dispute to a private arbitration firm which has been approved by the Secretary of the Executive Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation and the(consumer shall be required to submit to such arbitra on as provided In Massachusetts General Laws,chapter 142A.

Homeowners may be entitled to other specific legal rights if the contractor guarantees or provides an express warranty for workmanship or materials. In addition to guarantees or warranties provided by the contractor,all goods sold in Massachusetts carry an implied warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
