1. Term of Agreement
The Client agrees to engage the Service Provider for a cleaning service contract with an initial term of one (1) year (the “Initial Term”). The Agreement shall commence on the date signed and continue for the Initial Term unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement.
Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive six (6) month periods (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless the Client provides written notice of cancellation to the Service Provider at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term. Notice may be provided by email to Info@octomaids.com or by other written means acceptable to the Service Provider. If the Client cancels in accordance with this provision, no early termination fee under Section 2 shall apply.
2. Termination
Either Party may terminate this Agreement with thirty (30) days’ written notice. However, if the Client cancels prior to the end of the agreed-upon term, the Client shall be responsible for an early termination fee equal to three (3) months of cleaning service. This early termination fee is due within ten (10) business days.
3. Scope of Services
Services shall be performed in accordance with the Service Description provided by the Service Provider and agreed to by the Client.
4. Reassignment of Cleaning Crew
The Service Provider reserves the right to reassign a different cleaning crew to the Client’s property if the Client is not satisfied with the current one. This reassignment does not affect the validity of this Agreement.
5. Renewal and Pricing
Upon renewal of this Agreement, the Service Provider reserves the right to adjust pricing. The Client will be notified of any changes in advance of renewal.
6. Payment
The Client agrees to pay for services rendered in accordance with the invoicing and payment schedule provided by the Service Provider. Specific monetary amounts are excluded from this Agreement and will be provided separately in invoices. Failure to pay an invoice by its due date will result in interest accruing at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per year. The Client shall remain liable for all costs of collection, including court costs and reasonable attorney fees.
7. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the States of Washington and Oregon, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles.
8. Liability
The Service Provider shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. The Service Provider’s liability for any claim arising under this Agreement shall be limited to the amount paid by the Client for services in the month the claim arose.
You, the Client, are responsible for informing the Service Provider of any special cleaning requirements, preferred cleaning products, delicate or valuable items, pets, or specific areas requiring attention.
The Service Provider shall exercise reasonable care while performing services but shall not be liable for:
- Pre-existing damage to property or items.
- Items of extraordinary value (for example, cash, jewelry, or collectibles) unless specifically insured or declared in writing.
- Damage caused by factors beyond the Service Provider’s control, including faulty equipment, structural issues, or unsafe conditions.
The Client agrees to secure or remove fragile, valuable, or irreplaceable items prior to service.
Hazardous or unsafe conditions
- The Service Provider reserves the right to refuse service or adjust procedures if the premises present unsafe conditions, including chemical hazards, structural issues, or aggressive pets.
- The Client may be responsible for additional costs incurred to address these conditions.
Notification of issues
- Any damage or service issue identified by the Client must be reported within twenty-four (24) hours of service. The Service Provider will investigate and take reasonable steps to address verified issues.
Any requests outside the standard service scope may incur additional fees, which will be communicated prior to performing the service.
The Client acknowledges the risk of damage to property and will hold the Service Provider harmless against all damages except those arising from gross negligence or willful conduct.
