2.2 The Client represents and warrants that all information provided during the Booking process—including property size, number of rooms, condition of the Premises, and any special requirements—is accurate, complete, and not misleading. The Company reserves the right to adjust pricing or decline to perform Services if the actual conditions of the Premises materially differ from those represented at the time of Booking.
2.3 Estimated pricing communicated at the time of Booking is based on information provided by the Client and is subject to adjustment upon inspection of the Premises. The Company shall notify the Client of any material pricing adjustment prior to commencing Services where reasonably practicable.
2.4 All prices are quoted in Canadian Dollars (CAD) and are inclusive of applicable Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) at the rate prescribed by the Government of Ontario, currently thirteen percent (13%). The Company is a registrant for HST purposes as required by the Excise Tax Act (Canada).
3.Payment Terms and Deposit Policy
3.1 The Company requires a non-refundable deposit equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total quoted price ("Deposit") to secure a Booking. The Deposit shall be due and payable prior to commencement of Services. No Booking shall be considered confirmed until the Deposit has been received in cleared funds.
3.2 The remaining balance of fifty percent (50%) of the total quoted price shall be due and payable upon completion of Services and prior to the departure of Company personnel from the Premises ("Final Payment").
3.3 Payment shall be processed via Stripe, Inc., a third-party payment processor. The Client acknowledges and agrees that payment processing is subject to Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy, which are separate from and independent of this Agreement. The Company does not store credit card or financial account information on its own servers.
3.4 In the event a payment is declined, reversed, or subject to a chargeback, the Client shall remain liable for the full outstanding amount plus any associated processing fees incurred by the Company. The Company reserves the right to withhold future Services pending resolution of any outstanding balance.
3.5 All promotional discounts, coupon codes, and gift card redemptions are subject to the specific terms of the applicable promotion and must be presented at the time of Booking. Discounts cannot be applied retroactively.
4.Cancellation, Rescheduling, and No-Show Policy
4.1 Cancellations by Client. The Client may cancel a confirmed Booking by providing written notice to the Company no less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled commencement of Services. Cancellations received within the required notice period will result in a full forfeiture of the Deposit. The Company shall not be obligated to refund any amounts paid in respect of a late cancellation.
4.2 Rescheduling by Client. The Client may reschedule a confirmed Booking without penalty provided that written notice is received by the Company no less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled commencement of Services. Rescheduling requests received within twenty-four (24) hours of the scheduled appointment shall be treated as a cancellation pursuant to Section 4.1, and a new Deposit shall be required to secure a replacement appointment.
4.3 No-Show / Lockout. In the event that Company personnel attend the Premises at the scheduled time and are unable to gain access, or the Client or an authorized representative is not present where access requires supervision, such event shall constitute a "Lockout." A Lockout shall be treated as a same-day cancellation, and the Client shall forfeit the Deposit in its entirety. A call-out fee may also be assessed at the Company's discretion to cover travel and labour costs incurred.
4.4 Cancellations by Company. The Company reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any Booking due to unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to staff illness, extreme weather conditions, equipment failure, or safety concerns. In such circumstances, the Company shall provide the Client with as much advance notice as reasonably practicable and shall offer a rescheduled appointment at no additional charge, or a full refund of the Deposit at the Client's election.
5.Access to Premises and Client Obligations
5.1 The Client shall ensure that Company personnel have safe, unobstructed, and timely access to the Premises at the scheduled appointment time. Where applicable, the Client shall provide all necessary access codes, keys, or security credentials in advance of the appointment.
5.2 The Client shall disclose, prior to commencement of Services, any known hazards present at the Premises, including but not limited to mould, biohazardous materials, pest infestations, structural hazards, or the presence of controlled substances. The Company reserves the right to decline or discontinue Services without refund if undisclosed hazardous conditions are discovered upon attendance.
5.3 The Client shall secure or remove any fragile, irreplaceable, or high-value items from the areas to be cleaned prior to the arrival of Company personnel. The Company shall not be responsible for damage to items that were not disclosed or secured.
5.4 The Client shall ensure that all pets are securely confined or removed from the Premises during the Service. The Company may decline to proceed with Services if an unsecured animal poses a risk to the safety of Company personnel.
5.5 The Client is responsible for ensuring that the Premises has functional utilities, including hot and cold running water and electricity, as required to perform the Services. Failure to provide functional utilities may result in incomplete Services without any adjustment to the quoted price.
6.Scope of Services and Exclusions
6.1 The Company shall perform Services in accordance with the scope agreed upon at the time of Booking. Any services not expressly included in the confirmed Booking constitute additional services and are subject to additional charges.
6.2 The following items and areas are expressly excluded from the standard scope of Services unless specifically agreed upon in writing: exterior windows above ground floor level; remediation of mould, biohazardous matter, or hazardous waste; cleaning of items infested with insects or pests; removal of construction debris in quantities exceeding normal post-construction residue; and laundering or ironing of personal garments.
6.3 The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to clean all areas within the agreed scope; however, certain stains, discolouration, or damage that is permanent in nature or pre-existing may not be fully remediated through standard cleaning procedures, and the Company makes no warranty as to the complete removal of pre-existing damage.
7.Damage Claims and Liability
7.1 The Company carries general liability insurance for property damage caused directly by the negligent acts of its personnel during the performance of Services.
7.2 Any claim for property damage must be submitted to the Company in writing within forty-eight (48) hours of the completion of Services. Claims submitted after this period will not be accepted. The Company shall not be liable for pre-existing damage or damage arising from items that were fragile, improperly secured, or of unusual susceptibility to breakage.
7.3 The Company's aggregate liability to the Client for any single claim or series of related claims shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client for the Services giving rise to the claim.
7.4 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF INCOME, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR LOSS OF DATA.
7.5 Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.
8.Satisfaction Guarantee and Re-Clean Policy
8.1 Client satisfaction is a priority of the Company. If the Client is not satisfied with the quality of Services rendered, the Client must notify the Company within twenty-four (24) hours of completion of Services, providing reasonable particulars of the areas of concern.
8.2 Upon receipt of a valid and timely complaint, the Company shall, at its election, either dispatch personnel to re-clean the identified areas at no additional charge, or offer a partial credit toward a future service. A re-clean shall constitute the Company's sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the Services.
8.3 The satisfaction guarantee does not apply in circumstances where: (i) the Client has not permitted access for a re-clean within a reasonable time; (ii) the issue is attributable to the Client's failure to fulfill obligations under Section 5; or (iii) the complaint concerns services or areas outside the agreed scope.
9.Intellectual Property

A breach of this clause shall entitle the Company to seek injunctive relief and liquidated damages in an amount equal to three thousand dollars ($3,000.00 CAD) per individual solicited, which the parties agree represents a reasonable estimate of the harm caused and not a penalty.
