38-1-20. When contract price not payable in cash -- Notice.
As to all liens, except that of the contractor, the whole contract price shall be payable in
money, except as herein provided, and shall not be diminished by any prior or subsequent
indebtedness, offset or counterclaim in favor of the owner and against the contractor, except when
the owner has contracted to pay otherwise than in cash, in which case the owner shall post in a
conspicuous place on the premises a statement of the terms and conditions of the contract before
materials are furnished or labor is performed, which notice must be kept posted, and when so
posted shall give notice to all parties interested of the terms and conditions of the contract. Any
person willfully tearing down or defacing such notice is guilty of a misdemeanor.
