Penalties for using an illegal construction contract in Nebraska:
- Failure to include a notice about arbitration on the signature page can result in loss of the right to compel arbitration.
- Nebraska voids any clause in a construction contract which would indemnify someone for their sole negligence.
- Failure to make federal truth in lending disclosures requires restitution of the overcharge and makes the creditor liable for the debtor's attorney fees.
- Failure to include the disclosures required by 12 Code of Federal Regulations Section 226.15 extends the right of rescission to three years (rather than three days).
