RULES PERTAINING TO ORCHID HOUSE SERVICES
When using, accessing, or purchasing particular services or features of the Sites and Services, you will be subject to any posted agreements, guidelines, or rules applicable to such services or features that may be posted from time to time. All such agreements, guidelines, or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms of Use. In addition, you agree to the following when requesting and purchasing services via the Sites and Services:
- If for any reason you are not satisfied, please inform us within 24 hours of your cleaning and we will re-clean the area. Orchid House Cleaning takes all of its customer’s concerns very seriously and we will make every effort to address those concerns at the customer’s earliest convenience. Orchid does not offer refunds but will re-clean the premises as provided herein or credit your account with Orchid House to be used for future services.
- Orchid House Cleaning is committed to our customer’s satisfaction and we strive to resolve all concerns before they become problems. If any issues should arise during a service, please call our office immediately at (347)260-4723 so that we can rectify the situation. This includes communication issues, major changes to cleaning instructions, and requests to significantly extend a cleaning service beyond the estimated number of hours. We are happy to accommodate our customers’ needs whenever possible.
- Orchid House Cleaning may elect to accept electronic debit, ACH and/or all major credit cards for payment. For payments made by electronic debit, ACH, or credit card, an authorization may be made prior to service. Please refer to your bank or card issuer for their terms of service regarding such authorizations. You authorize Orchid House Cleaning to retain banking and credit card information to charge recurring and/or mutually agreed upon fees. Orchid may ask for bank account and/or credit card information over the phone as opposed to through the Site and Services. Orchid may use a third-party service provider to consummate such transactions which are transmitted via an encrypted system. You authorize Orchid House and third-party service providers to deduct $1.00 (or such other nominal amount as necessary) from your account or credit card to verify the authenticity of the account which will be credited to or refunded upon final payment for services.
- To allow us enough time to adjust route schedules, Orchid House requires 24-hours notice of a non-emergency cancellation. Cancellations made with less than 24-hours notice but at least 2 hours prior to the scheduled service are subject to a cancellation fee equivalent to Fifty dollars ($50.00 USD). Cancellations made with 2 or fewer hours’ notice are subject to a cancellation fee equal to the full booking cost of the scheduled services. If we’re unable to gain access to your service location at the appointed time, a lock-out fee equal to the full booking cost of the scheduled services will be charged. Please note that appointments have a one (1) hour window for arrival meaning Orchid House service providers will arrive within one (1) hour of the scheduled time of arrival.
- Orchid House Cleaning relies on our customer’s honest descriptions of their needs and circumstances in order to quote estimates over the phone. If the service order was not appropriate, Orchid House reserves the right to decline the job at the door and charge a lost time & travel fee equivalent to one (1) hour of service.
- You hereby grant Orchid House Cleaning the right to retain and use property information of the premises being cleaned including, without limitation, its address, lockbox codes, alarm codes, and parking information. You also grant Orchid House the right to photograph the premises such as before and after cleaning photos of the premises.
- Payment is due at the time of the service. A credit card or other chargeback will result in an additional fee equivalent to one (1) hour of service (at the rate quoted at the time of purchase) plus any legal, collection, financing and recovery fees we incur as a result.
- In addition to the other limitations on remedies set forth herein, you expressly agree to waive any right to contest any charge for services made by Orchid House Cleaning to your credit card or bank account. In the event you breach this term by submitting a dispute to your credit card provider or bank, you expressly agree that you will be liable for all costs and fees incurred by Orchid House Cleaning in connection with such dispute including, without limitation, attorneys’ costs and fees.
