Billing and Renewals
Our annual programs not only provide a major source of convenience for our clients, but also are time sensitive in nature being that there is a certain time each season specific services from each package should be applied. For these two reasons, the services booked you will continue year over year for the same package the client purchased in the previous year. While the start date will vary due to the weather and scheduling but your services will continue one a pay as you go model.
You can cancel, change their services, or prepay earlier based on current promotions at any time. Promotions cannot be combined.
Every year, we send a letter to your address on file notifying you of any next season discounts and informing them that their service renews year over year. We will communicate with you before the season starts to notify you which services are upcoming. If we don't hear from you before a service is done, your credit card will be charged for the amount of the service after the completion of the job. If you call us and inform us after the work was completed that this service was unwanted within 10 days of completing the work, we will provide you a refund for the charge. If you inform us that the work was unwanted past these 10 days, we have the right to keep the payment.
If you change your email or move to a new address, you must notify us of this change as we must assume each season that your property fields have stayed current unless otherwise stated and that the services are being expected.
