Vista West Homeowners

What Vista West Homeowners's governing documents say

This is a set of individual Restrictive Covenant and Agreements (not a community-wide rulebook) recorded against specific lots in the West Hightower Place subdivision in North Richland Hills, TX. They bind the landowner (buyer) and the builder (American Life Homes) and cover dispute resolution, warranty waivers, and mold maintenance obligations. They are ancillary documents that run with the land, not typical HOA or condo rules.

• Dispute resolution: Any dispute between buyer and builder (including construction defects, property damage, personal injury) must first go to mediation, then binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. The buyer is not required to pay unreasonable arbitration costs. The agreement survives closing.
• Warranty waiver: The builder disclaims all implied warranties (good and workmanlike construction, merchantability, fitness) and provides only a written third-party limited warranty. The buyer accepts this substitution in lieu of all other express or implied warranties.
• Mold and maintenance: The buyer acknowledges that mold can occur and must take positive steps to inspect, clean, and maintain the home (e.g., check for leaks, keep humidity low, clean with bleach). The builder disclaims all liability for mold-related damages, personal injury, or health effects.
• Equipment and consumer products: The builder makes no warranties on equipment such as air conditioners, water heaters, refrigerators, etc. Any manufacturer warranties are assigned to the buyer.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is not a full set of community rules. It does not cover pet restrictions, leasing limits, architectural review, common areas, assessments, or any other typical HOA or condo regulations. It only binds the individual lot owner and the builder regarding warranties, dispute resolution, and mold maintenance.
