Failure to register a lien in the 60-day timeline may result in the Lien Claimant losing their right to register a lien. A Lien Claimant should not leave the preservation of a lien to the “last hour” as this may result in the lien failing to be preserved in time.

No, you cannot “contract out” of the Act. The provisions apply to you no matter what, so you can- not have provisions in a contract that prevent a person from liening, or that holdbacks are not required.
