- "Paid if Paid" is not enforceable in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- V.I. CODE ANN. tit. 28, §§ 251 -270: Courts in the Virgin Islands have interpreted the construction lien law in that district to preclude any contractual defense in actions to recover payment for completed work.
- When a subcontract includes a clause that makes payment to the subcontractor contingent upon payment by the owner to the contractor, that clause is void and against the public policy enumerated in Construction Lien Law. Shearman & Assocs. v. Continental Cas. Co., 901 F.Supp. 199.
