TERMS AND CONDITIONS

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS IMPORTANT PROVISIONS REGARDING THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMER IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND TAILOR MADE. PLEASE REFER TO THE SECTION ENTITLED “CLASS ACTION WAIVER.”

CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGMENT Customer hereby acknowledges that: 1) Customer is 18 years of age or older and has authority to enter into a contract for lawn care services; 2) that Customer has read and fully understands these terms and conditions; and 3) that these terms and conditions shall be deemed a binding part of Customer’s contract with Tailor Made for lawn care or pest control services contracted through the Tailor Made website, or by telephone, email, and/or any other method. Customer acknowledges that these terms and conditions are a material inducement for Tailor Made to enter into a contract with Customer.

CUSTOMER OBLIGATION Customer understands that results of service may vary and are relative to and dependent upon the cooperation of the Customer as to housekeeping, sanitation, maintenance, water and accessibility of areas to be serviced. Customer agrees to cooperate fully with Tailor Made to facilitate treatment and control.

OUR GUARANTEE For Customers purchasing a FULL lawn care or pest control program, Tailor Made will revisit Customer’s property, upon request, between scheduled visits to make fertilizing or weed control adjustments, or to re-evaluate any other pest concern deemed necessary by Tailor Made. (Partial programs and/or “Single Services” may not be included in guarantee.)  This agreement does not guarantee, and Tailor Made does not represent, that covered weeds, insects or other pests will not return to the property, nor does Tailor Made guarantee complete elimination of pests.

ACCESS TO PROPERTY   Customer authorizes Tailor Made to access Customer’s property on days and times of Tailor Made’s choosing to provide the services requested. During service, the Customer agrees to make the premises available for service. Tailor Made may further move personal property on the grounds as may be reasonably needed to perform its services. If the premises is not available for service and/or no one is home at the time of service, Tailor Made will service the accessible areas only. Customer agrees and acknowledges that the Customer will be responsible for and pay total cost of the service, and not a prorated amount based upon limited service due to areas being inaccessible. The customer agrees that additional fees may be charged to reschedule service(s) for the inaccessible areas. 

IMPORTANT: CONTINUOUS SERVICE, AUTO-RENEWAL AND BUDGET BILLING INFORMATION BELOW

CONTINUOUS SERVICE AND AUTO RENEWAL To optimize the effectiveness of the services provided, Customer’s plan shall continue from month to month AND year to year without any action on Customer’s part. This includes any services purchased initially or added at a later time. Remember, Customer’s plan will continue unless Customer contacts Tailor Made at 828-465-4070 to cancel. Customer or Tailor Made may cancel service at any time, subject to Customer’s obligation to pay for all contracted services as provided herein. All pre-paid amounts shall be refundable and any remaining account balance for pre-pay Customers that terminate their annual plan early (prior to completion of all scheduled plan applications) shall be refundable by Tailor Made, Inc. 

Price Increases :  Tailor Made reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to implement annual price increases due to inflation, cost of goods and services, or other economic factors.  A standard Customer cost increase of 3% per year shall occur each year in order to keep up with the rising costs of products and equipment.  This amount shall be automatically incorporated into the yearly renewal as stated above pursuant to these terms and conditions.  No notice of this annual cost increase will be provided in advance.  Any cost increase necessary above 5% shall require notice to the Customer in advance, by email.  Annual price increases will occur automatically at the end of the service year and will go into effect January 1 for the ensuing year.

COST OF SERVICES/BILLING

 Except as otherwise set forth herein, billing for each lawn care or pest control application (and applicable fuel surcharges) will occur after service is rendered with payment due upon receipt of service. All new Customers are required to have a Credit Card/Debit Card on file and must choose from one of three billing methods.  1 - enroll in Tailor Made’s Budget Billing monthly installment plan, 2- Enroll in our Auto-pay program or 3- Prepay for their service(s). The cost of individual services in a Customer’s plan may vary from year-to-year.  Current year discounts may not apply in subsequent years. Any credits or discounts offered by Tailor Made shall only be applied to future Tailor Made services and are not redeemable by Customer for cash. In the event all services are not completed, the customer understands that discounts and free service calls may be forfeited, and discounted amounts can be back charged. 

BUDGET BILLING AGREEMENT  Customer’s enrollment in the Tailor Made Budget Billing option constitutes Customer’s agreement to the following terms and conditions which shall be deemed a binding part of Customer’s agreement to receive and pay for services provided by Tailor Made. Please read these provisions carefully and contact Tailor Made immediately in the event that you wish to cancel your Budget Billing Enrollment.

Customer agrees to pay for all services scheduled and/or provided and authorizes Tailor Made to initiate electronic payment transactions from the debit card or credit card that Customer agrees to and has provided to Tailor Made.

Customer agrees payments will be automatically debited from debit card or charged to credit card that Customer has provided to Tailor Made. Customer may direct Tailor Made to initiate payment either on the first (1st) day of each month or the fifteenth (15th) day of each month for 12 months from January to December unless Customer terminates the above authorization in the manner described herein.

Payments will be divided into monthly amounts and calculated by totaling all service charges minus qualifying discounts and dividing by 12. Services will be calculated by 12 months from January to December. The following year’s monthly payments, and all years thereafter, will be calculated based upon a 12-month payment cycle. Moreover, monthly payment may be modified in the event Customer adds on a new service to existing plan or retains Tailor Made to perform additional services, and desires to have payments for services rendered added to Customer’s existing Budget Billing, instead of paying separately for additional or new services.

Customer agrees the first payment will be automatically withdrawn on the day customer agrees to service and the regular service payments will continue month-to-month as set forth herein until service is canceled by Customer or Tailor Made.

Services canceled by Customer or accounts placed on hold will not disrupt account charges and payment pursuant to the terms and conditions whether by Budget Billing or billed for services rendered.

NOTICE OF CLAIM AND OPPORTUNITY TO CURE Customer acknowledges that Tailor Made is a lawn maintenance company that provides lawn maintenance services and that Tailor Made is not a home improvement contractor and/or a real property improvement supplier. Tailor Made applies all lawn care products per the manufacturer label. Before any claim can be asserted by Customer against Tailor Made arising from any alleged breach of its service contract, or asserting damage or injury to person or property arising from any act or omission on the part of Tailor Made or its agents, employees, or representatives, Customer must provide timely written notice to Tailor Made identifying and documenting the damage or injury alleged and the acts or omissions that are the basis of Customer’s claim. The written Notice of Claim must be presented by Customer to Tailor Made within 60 days of the date of the alleged act or omission that caused damage, regardless of the date upon which the damage was first observed. Tailor Made will have 60 days following its receipt of Customer’s Notice of Claim to investigate Customer’s claim and to correct any deficiency or repair any damage that Tailor Made determines to have been its responsibility. Customer agrees to provide Tailor Made reasonable access and a reasonable opportunity to observe, test, document, and investigate Customer’s damage claims, and to effect remedial measures. The failure of Customer to submit a timely written Notice of Claim constitutes an irrevocable acceptance by Customer of the sufficiency of Tailor Made’s performance of its contractual obligations. Customer waives and releases all claims for damage or injury allegedly arising from any act or omission on the part of Tailor Made or its agents, employees, or representatives that are not asserted in a timely served Notice of Claim.

TIME LIMIT FOR FILING CUSTOMER CLAIMS   Notwithstanding the provisions of any other statutes of limitations, Customer agrees that all claims by Customer against Tailor Made are barred if such claims are not initiated within one year of the last date of service provided by Tailor Made to Customer, or the date of the act or omission upon which such claim is based, whichever comes first. A claim is “initiated” when Tailor Made receives a written demand for arbitration of such claim. If the arbitration provisions of this contract are determined inapplicable or unenforceable to such claim, the claim is not “initiated” until Tailor Made receives service of a Summons and Complaint.

ARBITRATION Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or under this agreement shall be settled by Arbitration in Hickory, North Carolina under the rules then in force of the North Carolina Revised Uniform Arbitration Act or any successor statute.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY   In no event shall Tailor Made be liable to Customer, and Customer expressly waives and agrees to make no claim for, intangible, consequential, incidental, or indirect damages, including, by way of example, loss of use of property, lost profits, loss of business, damage to reputation, business interruption, or emotional or mental injury. In no event shall Tailor Made be liable to Customer, and Customer expressly waives and agrees to make no claim for exemplary or punitive damages, or for statutory minimum damages or treble damages or costs or attorney fees. In any claim for damage to Customer’s lawn, plants or landscaping, Tailor Made’s liability is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amount Customer paid for the lawn care application alleged to have caused the damages claimed by Customer.

GOVERNING LAW / VENUE   If the arbitration provisions of this contract are determined to be inapplicable or unenforceable as to any claim of Customer against Tailor Made, any litigation between Customer and Tailor Made shall be governed by North Carolina law and resolved exclusively in the State courts located in Catawba County North Carolina. Customer agrees to personal jurisdiction and venue in Catawba County North Carolina. Customer expressly waives any right to a trial by jury in any litigation against Tailor Made.

ATTORNEYS FEES   If litigation or arbitration is initiated against Tailor Made by Customer in violation of the terms of this Agreement, or if Tailor Made initiates litigation or arbitration against Customer to enforce Tailor Made’s rights under the terms of this agreement, Customer agrees to pay Tailor Made’s litigation/arbitration costs, including attorney fees, incurred in successfully enforcing the terms of this Agreement.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER   TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO MAKE A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR AS PART OF A PLAINTIFF GROUP.  CUSTOMER AND TAILOR MADE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OR AS PART OF A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.  CUSTOMER WILL NOT CONSENT TO THE CONSOLIDATION OF HIS OR HER CLAIMS WITH THE CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR GROUP OF CUSTOMERS WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF TAILOR MADE, INC.
