Wis. Admin. Code Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection § ATCP 110.027 - Delay in contract performance

give the buyer timely notice of any impending delay in the home improvement
contract performance if performance will be delayed beyond a deadline specified
in the home improvement contract. The notice shall specify any reasons for the
delay and shall specify new proposed deadlines by which the seller will begin
and complete the work. If a written home improvement contract is required under
s.
ATCP
110.05(1) or the buyer signs a
written contract, no change in performance deadlines is effective unless the
buyer agrees in writing to the change.
Note: According to s. 137.15(3), Stats., "If a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies that requirement in that law."
(2) Notwithstanding sub. (1), a seller shall
not be responsible for delays in contract performance if the seller can
demonstrate any of the following:
(a) The
delay was caused by actions or inactions of the buyer.
(b) The delay was caused by a destructive act
of nature such as tornado, flood, or fire.
