TERMS OF SERVICE

Introduction

Welcome to Peak Cleaners, LLC (“Peak Cleaners”). We’re delighted that you’ve chosen to use our services, which include but are not limited to our booking form on our website, all related sites, applications, our customer service team, our cleaners, and third-party vendors. Hereafter, we will refer to all of these collectively as our “Services.”

These Terms of Service are intended to help you understand our mutual rights and obligations. As these Terms form a legally binding contract between you and Peak Cleaners, we encourage you to read them carefully.

1. Authority

By using the Services, you state that:

you will comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations; and
you can form a binding contract with Peak Cleaners;
you understand that Peak Cleaners is protected by all relevant trademark and copyright laws. If you are using the Services on behalf of a business or some other entity, you also state that you are authorized to grant all licenses set forth in these Terms and to agree to these Terms on behalf of the business or entity.

2. Services

A. General

Peak Cleaners agrees to provide you with the Services and you agree to pay the quoted price for the Services, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

B. Cancellation Policy

We reserve the right to assess a $25 cancellation fee to any scheduled service not cancelled by 5PM EST, 1 BUSINESS day before the scheduled service. This applies regardless of whether or not your scheduled service is an initial or recurring cleaning.

Finally, please note that if our Services are provided under a separate written agreement with you, if any part of that agreement conflicts with these Terms, including a separate cancellation policy, that cancellation policy (and not this Section 2(B)) will apply to you.

C. Cleaning Supplies and Equipment

We use and provide predominantly environmentally friendly supplies and all equipment required for cleaning your home/apartment/commercial space. If desired, and expressed in writing, we can use your cleaning supplies or equipment instead of ours.

In addition, Peak Cleaners requires that you have running water and electricity in order to properly perform our Services.

D. Safety

Our top priority is ensuring the safety of everyone inside your home during your cleaning service, including yourself and our staff. We reserve the right to remove our cleaning crews from your home should the environment be/become unsafe.

By using our Services, you agree to assist in fostering a safe environment by:

Accounting for and securing all valuables prior to the start of your cleaning appointment;
notifying us of pets and, if necessary, placing them in designated enclosures that would not threaten our staff or impede our Services;
identifying and informing us of any fragile, or easily damaged items by communicating this to either our cleaning crews or our customer service representatives before your scheduled cleaning service.
removing any biohazards, including, but not limited to, human bodily fluids, animal waste, rodent feces, live/dead insects, and sharp bio-products (needles, IV tubing, etc.);
not requiring or requesting the lifting or moving of furniture or heavy items; and
ensuring construction or renovation work (including touch-ups) has been completed, all contractors have left, and all equipment has been removed – prior to our arrival.

By agreeing to our services, you grant Peak Cleaners, and its authorized personnel, access to your premises. Please ensure that our staff can safely access all areas necessary to complete the cleaning services. If specific areas are inaccessible, resulting in incomplete service, we may need to reschedule or adjust the service scope accordingly.

In the event that you don’t comply with this Section 2(D), our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee will be voided, we may direct our staff to leave your location (at the discretion of management), and our Cancellation Policy (explained below) will apply.

E. Damages

Our cleaning staff will conduct themselves with utmost professionalism while in your home. In the unlikely event accidental damage occurs, you’ll need to notify our office within 48 hours of when the appointment is completed either by email (office@peakcleanersnc.com) or by phone (843-252-0605), provide us with a photo of the damages, and be available to be contacted. We cannot guarantee reimbursement for damages that do not comply with this paragraph. Further, for potential caulking and grout damages, Peak Cleaners does not assume responsibility for the restoration of severely worn, stained or mildewed caulking and grout.

Except in emergencies (e.g., a leaking toilet), you must not undertake the repair or replacement of the damage for which you may seek reimbursement.

Peak Cleaners reserves the right to contract suitable professionals to repair damages, and will make payment arrangements directly with its contractors to settle any damage repair.

F. Pricing, Discounts, and Recurring Services

Peak Cleaners may change the pricing and discounts of its Services (“Pricing or Discount Change”) in its sole discretion and at any time. Any Pricing or Discount Change will become effective immediately, unless stated otherwise.

Most of the time, Services booked before the time of the Pricing or Discount Change (“Existing Services”) will retain the original pricing as long as no modifications are made to the Existing Services. Any modifications to the Existing Services will void the original pricing of the Existing Services and the price of the Existing Services will be subjected to the Pricing or Discount Change.

In the case that Existing Services are not modified but are nonetheless subject to a Pricing or Discount Change, Peak Cleaners will send an email advising the client of the Pricing or Discount Change. Failure to receive or save an email announcing the Pricing or Discount Change will not invalidate that Pricing or Discount Change.

Your continued use of the Services after the Pricing or Discount Change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the price modified by the Pricing or Discount Change.

Peak Cleaners provides special, discounted rates for all services scheduled on a regular rotation either every week, every two weeks, or every four weeks. If you skip a service, or reschedule for a later date, a higher rate may apply. If your regular recurring cleaning service exceeds the one month mark (every 4 weeks), then the cleaning service rate will revert back to the initial cleaning service amount, minus any premium add-ons. Afterwards, if you continue receiving regular, recurring services, the price will revert back to your respective rate.

G. Adjustments to Service Charges

Peak Cleaners reserves the right to adjust the price of services as necessary based on the conditions encountered during the service appointment. Price adjustments may be made for reasons including, but not limited to, homes requiring a deeper level of cleaning than initially expected, excessive clutter, the need for premium add-ons not previously selected to ensure proper cleanliness, and additional time spent accommodating extra requests.

Clients will be notified of any price adjustments prior to service continuation or at the time of service, as applicable. It is our commitment to provide transparency and communication regarding any changes to the initially quoted service price. Clients will have the opportunity to accept the adjusted price or to decline further services at that time.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PEAK CLEANERS AND OUR MANAGING MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (A) OUR PROVISION OF, FAILURE TO, OR INABILITY TO RENDER, AND YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICES OR (B) THE UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR CONTENT, EVEN IF PEAK CLEANERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

14. Dispute Resolution

A. Small Claims Court

You may bring claims within a competent small claims court jurisdiction, after notice to Peak Cleaners of your claim has been provided and thirty (30) days has passed to allow Peak Cleaners to investigate and cure any issues or potential liability.

B. Arbitration Generally

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE CERTAIN DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

All claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Services that cannot be resolved in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and Peak Cleaners are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.

i. Arbitration Rules

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at the AAA website (www.adr.org), or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount sought is less than $25,000 USD may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount sought is $25,000 USD or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

ii. Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration

If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.

iii. Arbitration Fees

If you choose to arbitrate, arbitration fees and arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules. If you bring a claim subject to arbitration, are unable to pay all or a portion of your fees, and wish to have all or part of your fees covered by Peak Cleaners, you must present to Peak Cleaners a written statement detailing the amount you would have had to pay as filing fees and initial court costs if you had filed your claim in a court of competent jurisdiction, and subject to Peak Cleaners’ review and approval of the accuracy of such statement, you will only be liable to pay arbitration fees up to the amount set forth in the statement. Peak Cleaners will pay the remainder of the fees and deposits of arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party will pay the fees for his/her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law.

iv. Authority of the Arbitrator

The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Peak Cleaners. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Peak Cleaners.

v. Opt Out

You may opt out of this Section 14(B) agreement to arbitration within 60 days of the first day on which you receive Services from Peak Cleaners (“Opt Out Period”). If you do so, neither you nor Peak Cleaners can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify Peak Cleaners in writing within the Opt Out Period. Your notice must include your name and address, and the email address you used to set up services with Peak Cleaners and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Section 14(B) agreement to arbitration. You must send your opt-out notice via certified mail to this address: Peak Cleaners, ATTN: Arbitration Opt-out, 32 N. Main Street, Suite 309 Belmont, North Carolina 28012.

vi. Waiver of Jury Trial in Favor of Arbitration

YOU AND PEAK CLEANERS WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Peak Cleaners are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Peak Cleaners over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND PEAK CLEANERS WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

vii. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 14(J).

viii. Right to Waive

Any rights and limitations set forth in this Section 14(B) may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this Section 14(B).

C. Exclusive Venue

To the extent that these Terms allow you or Peak Cleaners to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Peak Cleaners agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Services will be litigated exclusively in the State of North Carolina, County of Gaston.

15. Choice of Law

The laws of North Carolina, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and any claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise) arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

17. Additional Terms for Specific Services

We sometimes need to craft additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”) for your specific needs (“Specific Services”). The Additional Terms, in addition to these Terms, will also become part of your agreement with us if you use Specific Services. If any part of the Additional Terms conflicts with these Terms, the Additional Terms will prevail.

Real estate professionals who are using or referring clients to Peak Cleaners in their professional capacity should contact Peak Cleaners by email (office@peakcleanersnc.com) or by phone (843-252-0605) prior to booking for additional terms.

18. Changes to Terms of Service

Peak Cleaners reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms of Service on our website. Your continued use of our services after such changes will constitute acknowledgment and agreement of the modified Terms of Service.

19. Final Terms; No Third Party Beneficiary, No Waiver; No Assignment; Reservation of Rights

These Terms (together with any Additional Terms) make up the entire agreement between you and Peak Cleaners, and supersede any prior agreements.

These Terms do not create or confer any third-party beneficiary rights.

If we do not enforce a provision in these Terms, it will not be considered a waiver.

You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

20. SMS Communications, Consents and Disclosures
