Each member
of NARI is pledged to observe the highest standards of honesty,
integrity, and responsibility in the conduct of business:
- By promoting only those products and services which
are functionally and economically sound, and which are
consistent with objective standards of health and safety;
- By making all advertising and sales promotion factually
accurate with respect to product description, performance
specification, and cost/benefit analysis, and by avoiding
practices that tend to mislead or deceive the customer
with respect to competitive pricing, savings claims, or
the nature and significance of contracts, warranties, finance
agreements, completion certifications, lien wavers, or
liability and workers' compensation insurance;
- By writing all contracts and warranties such that they
are fair and mutually beneficial to all parties concerned,
such that they are free of ambiguities or omissions which
tend to obscure contractual obligations, and such that
warranty terms and provisions are free of the capacity
to mislead or deceive the customer as to quality or longevity
of the product of service;
- By honoring all contractual obligations until and unless
they are altered or dissolved by the mutual consent of
all contractual parties concerned, and by fulfilling those
obligations in a reasonably prompt manner that is fair
to all parties concerned;
- By promptly acknowledging and acting on all customer
complaints, and, in situations where complaints appear
unreasonable and persistent, by encouraging the customer
to initiate an approved third party dispute settlement
mechanism; and
- By refraining from any act intended to restrain
or suppress competition, and to thereby promote the private
enterprise system and its guarantee of equal rights for
all.
