DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the motion is granted and the appeal by the defendant Keyspan Corporation is dismissed as withdrawn, without costs or disbursements; and it is further,
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from by the plaintiff, with costs to the respondent.
The parties to a contract may agree to limit the period of time within which an action must be commenced to a period shorter than that provided by the applicable statute of limitations ( see CPLR 201; Kassner Co. v. City of New York, 46 N.Y.2d 544, 550-551; Incorporated Vil. of Saltaire v. Zagata, 280 A.D.2d 547; Certified Fence Corp. v. Felix Indus., 260 A.D.2d 338, 339; Krohn v. Felix Indus., 226 A.D.2d 506). "Absent proof that the contract is one of adhesion or the product of overreaching, or that [the] altered period is unreasonably short, the abbreviated period of limitation will be enforced" ( Timberline Elec. Supply Corp. v. Insurance Co. of North Amer., 72 A.D.2d 905, 906, affd 52 N.Y.2d 793; see Wayne Drilling Blasting v. Felix Indus., 129 A.D.2d 633, 634).
Here, in response to the respondent's prima facie showing that the instant action was not commenced within the applicable limitations period as set forth in the parties' agreements, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact. Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted that branch of the respondent's motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against it.
