Alabama rules that this document follows

Prompt payment to subcontractorsThe contractor must pay the subcontractor within 7 days after the contractor receives payment from the owner for the subcontractor's work. Late payment carries 1% per month on the unpaid balance.Source: Ala. Code §§ 8-29-3, 8-29-4
Retainage cap on private workNo statutory cap was confirmed — retainage is whatever the subcontract says, and should never exceed what the owner holds from the general contractor
Pay-if-paid clausesAlabama courts enforce a clear contingent-payment clause; ambiguous language is read as pay-when-paid, which fixes only the time of payment.Source: Lemoine Co. of Ala. v. HLH Constructors, Inc., 62 So. 3d 1020 (Ala. 2010)
Anti-indemnity statuteNo construction anti-indemnity statute was confirmed — a broad indemnity may be enforceable, so read the clause closely before signing
Subcontractor lien rightsAn unpaid subcontractor may record a mechanics lien against the project; the chapter below sets the preliminary-notice and filing deadlines, which run from the subcontractor's last work, not from the general contractor's.Source: Ala. Code §§ 35-11-210 et seq. (liens of mechanics and materialmen)
