TERMS & SPECIFICATIONS
DEFINITIONS:
“CONTRACTOR” refers to V.I.P. Landscaping And Lawn Care, LLC, its employees, supervisors, managers, crew members, laborers, foreman, and subcontractors. “OWNER” which includes property owner, person deemed responsible such as tenant, occupant, neighbor, principle, family member, caretaker, house sitter, property manager, agent for owner, security, concierge, or builder.
ACCESS:
OWNER agrees to provide necessary access for CONTRACTOR to provide this service as scheduled and detailed, if access is denied or if CONTRACTOR cannot reasonably gain access, this task will be delayed. CONTRACTOR is not responsible for conditions or effects related to the missed or delayed visit. Constraints imposed by the OWNER or tenant, other contractors, suppliers, weather, access, pets or disputes may delay or prevent this service from being performed and if work is delayed, additional charges may apply for the repeat or return visits.
DAMAGE:
Incidental, unintentional, and accidental damage, to the property, or items on or near the property and work areas, as a result of the performance of this service is the OWNER’s responsibility to replace or repair.
DISCLAIMER:
Damages caused by CONTRACTOR during normal operations, that are not from intentional acts or negligent behavior are not the obligation of the CONTRACTOR to correct or compensate for. Reparations for any damages arising from the performance of this service are limited to the contracted amount of the service. CONTRACTOR will perform landscape service, repair and maintenance duties, however, ultimately the CONTRACTOR is not responsible for the health or condition of the landscape or property. It is the CONTRACTOR’s intent to work with the OWNER of the landscape, to perform tasks as detailed and completing described duties; not to be responsible for the landscape. Because we are working with nature and perishable material, and because many factors affect our duties including but not limited to budget, age of landscaping, previous maintenance practices, and weather, we cannot guarantee that we achieve and maintain results with this service. All irrigation reports provided are meant to document the irrigation & controller programming performed by CONTRACTOR and to alleviate and doubt or false accusations and assumptions, directed towards CONTRACTOR, for improper or incorrect programming in the event there is expense, damage, or waste involved with the amount of watering determined by the controller settings. The OWNER of the property understands that they are totally responsible for the water use and water damage regardless of who they use to assist them with the task of programming the controller. CONTRACTOR holds no responsibility for any homeowner’s association violations on property.
NOTES & RECOMMENDATIONS:
OWNER is responsible for daily observations of the landscape conditions (wet or dry) and to notify CONTRACTOR of conditions in which help is needed. Irrigation controller programming may or may not be included in service, and may or may not use local water authority programming guide, direction from the OWNER, programmer discretion, current weather conditions (no matter how brief), how the irrigation emitters and sprinklers effect surrounding properties, landscape, buildings, vehicles, or personal items and the type and age of plant material being irrigated. During the months with more extreme weather conditions, irrigation repairs, adjustments, and temporary changes may be made without prior owner approval. If this is unacceptable, OWNER must notify CONTRACTOR to adjust the agreement to reflect the policy for these situations. Programming the controller does not guarantee results. Other conditions effect the proper operation of the irrigation system as well as affecting plant material. OWNER understands that controllers fail without warning, valves stick open and closed, emitters clog, sprinklers get misaligned and out of adjustment, pipes and fittings fail, leaks occur out of sight, etcetera. CONTRACTOR is not responsible for any issues arising other those regarding workmanship performed by CONTRACTOR.
WARRANTY:
