Pet Waste Pros

Terms of Service

Please review the following terms and policies that apply to Pet Waste Pros services, billing, property access, scheduling, and customer communication.

Payment Terms

Monthly billing is determined by several factors including location, the number of pets, yard size, and visit frequency.

  • Prepayment Requirement: Services for each month must be prepaid.
  • Invoicing: Invoices are issued five days before the month ends (for example, April 26 for May services).
  • Payment Due: Payments are due on the first day of each service month.
  • Late Payment Policy: Services will be suspended if payment has not been received by the fifth of the month.
  • Monthly Rate Calculation: Your monthly rate is your weekly rate multiplied by 50, then divided by 12 months. With this model, you receive two weeks of service free annually.
  • Pro-rated Invoices For New Clients: New clients receive a pro-rated invoice for their first month based on the remaining days in the month.
  • Preferred Payment Methods: Credit and debit card payments are accepted, with automatic charges applied on the first day of each month.

Credit Card Policy

Credit card details are securely stored within the Stripe system and are inaccessible to the Pet Waste Pros team.

By enrolling in our services, you consent to having your credit card charged monthly.

We will not come to your location until your credit card is set up in your customer portal.

Late Fee

A $10.00 late fee applies to payments that are overdue by 10 days. Services will remain suspended until payment is received.

Accounts more than 45 days in arrears will incur a $35 collection fee and may be forwarded to a collections agency.

Text Messages

US regulations require organizations to obtain informed consent from recipients before sending text (SMS) messages.

With your consent, Pet Waste Pros may send text (SMS) messages to the mobile number you have provided to us. By providing your informed consent where indicated, you acknowledge that you agree to participate in our text messaging service.

You may withdraw from text messages at any time by replying with STOP.

Text messages may be used to provide helpful information, reminders, and notifications, including announcements, upcoming visit reminders, and communication regarding your requested service.

Rain & Inclement Weather Policy

In the event of hazardous weather conditions that make yard cleaning unsafe or impossible, we will inform you promptly and reschedule your appointment.

The regular weekly fee will still apply due to the anticipated increased workload during the subsequent week.

If cancellation occurs due to staff illness or another unforeseen circumstance, you will be exempt from payment for that week.

Yard Access

Clients are responsible for ensuring Pet Waste Pros can access the yard. Obstructions or locked gates may still incur the regular fee due to the increased workload on the next visit, although the fee for the first such occurrence will be waived.

Access through homes is not permitted. A garage or gate must be available.

Pet Safety

To ensure everyone's safety, pets should be confined away from the service area during visits to prevent incidents.

Waste Removal Policy

We remove solid waste only. Diarrhea or waste indicating health concerns will not be handled.

Clients will be notified if such waste is encountered and may be advised to seek veterinary care when appropriate.

Service Area Conditions

Visibility is important for effective cleaning. Areas obscured by overgrowth or debris may not be fully serviced, and clients will be notified of such conditions.

Exclusions

Areas beneath trampolines, within dense underbrush, or behind obstacles that pose safety risks are excluded from service.

Service Suspension

A 24-hour notice is required to pause service for credit toward the next month.

Liability

Pet Waste Pros is not liable for property damage or loss related to our services. We take thorough precautions to secure property after each visit.

Service Termination

Services can be terminated with 48-hour written notice. Refunds for partial months are not issued.

Agreement to Terms

Initiating service constitutes agreement to these terms, including property access and billing practices.

Holiday Schedule

Services may be adjusted around major holidays. We are closed from Christmas Day to New Year's Day, with the same fee applying for the subsequent service.

Privacy Policy
