c. Company equipment is powered by Company’s systems, so Company will not connect to Client’s home’s electrical supply. Company’s crew members will inspect Client’s spigot to ensure that there is no damage in it and the area surrounding. Client’s crew members will take before and after photographs documenting the condition of the spigot. Client agrees that Company shall not be held liable for either previously damaged spigot issues or issues outside Client’s home unrelated to cleaning services.
d. Company cannot proceed with any washing or cleaning service if Client has ongoing construction and/or home improvement projects going on. Client is hereby advised to schedule Company’s services to be performed on dates when no construction and/or home improvement projects are being completed. A cancellation fee of $150.00 shall be charged to Client if Company arrives at Client’s property for washing and/or cleanings and construction and/or home improvement projects are ongoing.
e. During unavoidable circumstances, such as emergency or inclement weather conditions, Company shall perform the requested cleaning services on the next available business day. Client acknowledges that as much as Company wants to accommodate a quick reschedule, Company has other considerations to take into account such as working with other scheduled clients and weather situations.
4. Payment Terms.
a. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, payment is due upon the completion of work. Company accepts all forms of payment including cash, check, or credit. If paying with credit, Company accepts paythrough through a credit card processor link or the office for the privacy and security of Company’s information. Any invoice or scheduled payment over 10 days past due will be subject to a 7% late fee. If any invoice or scheduled payment goes 30 days past due, Company shall have the right to file a civil suit to collect the outstanding debt. Company further reserves the right to refuse to continue to do business with a client who is currently past due or who has been 30+ days past due more than once.
b. If Client and Company have a net 30 days’ payment schedule, Client must have payment submitted to Company within a 30-day grace period. Time is of the essence. Any invoice or scheduled payment that is 30 days past due after the date of the Contract will be subject to a 7% late fee. If payment is not received within 60 days of the due date, Company reserves the right to file a civil suit to collect the outstanding debt. Company further reserves the right to refuse to continue to do business with a client under a payment schedule who is currently past due or who has been 60+ days past due more than once.
5. Risks and Releases of Liability.
a. Company has expert technicians who operate the equipment used in any cleaning service. Company always takes extra precautions not only to keep Company’s technicians safe but also to avoid causing any damage to Client’s property. Company understands the type of pressure that a surface needs when cleaning, like the use of low pressure on delicate surfaces. However, damage can be inevitable due to various reasons like poor maintenance, neglect, or low-grade building materials. Client is advised to implement routine maintenance on the home’s surface and also ensure a watertight seal to the home before the date of cleaning to avoid damage. Company shall not be held liable for any damages that occur due to improper maintenance, neglect, or low-grade building materials.
b. On the date of the cleaning service, Company will note any pre-existing damage to the area to be serviced using a checklist sheet that will be signed by Client. In cases when Client cannot sign, Company will note the absence and take photos of the noted damages. Client or the homeowner should also sign the checklist sheet as proof that they have been informed of any damage. If Client is not present, Company’s employee in charge of the service will notify Client of the noted damages with supporting documents. If Company found any new damage, the services will stop until Client can see the damage and acknowledge its existence.
c. Company has a set of procedures to protect plant life in the area. Client understands that cleaning or washing is scheduled during midday sun, and there is a possibility of leaf burn, as water can get around the plant during the cleaning procedures. Any issues with plant life within the area of washing will be evaluated by Company to determine the plan of action. It is Client’s responsibility to know what plants on the property are suffering from leaf burn or are wilted upon arrival. Company is not liable for any damages to plants or landscape that were burned prior to Company showing up, as Company takes high precaution in treating landscape with proper care.
