Document Description

This Service Agreement - Lawn Maintenance is a legally binding document that outlines the terms and conditions between the servicer and the customer for the provision of lawn maintenance services. The agreement highlights the importance of prompt and timely performance of the servicer's obligations and emphasizes the customer's right to terminate the agreement if the servicer fails to proceed diligently with the services or suspends the carrying out of the services before completion.

 

The agreement begins with an interpretation section that defines key terms and provides general provisions. It then outlines the servicer's obligations, including the use of professional knowledge and skills to provide the services, compliance with laws and regulations, and engagement in best and commercially reasonable efforts to provide the services. The agreement also specifies that any services outside the scope defined in the agreement will require a new agreement.

 

The completion of the work section emphasizes the importance of timely completion of the services by the completion date. It allows for extensions of the completion date if there are valid reasons for delay, but also provides for liquidated damages if the services are not completed by the completion date.

 

The agreement includes provisions regarding the workers assigned to perform the services, including requirements that they not report to perform the services under the influence of alcohol or drugs and not consume alcohol or drugs while performing the services. It also requires the servicer to obtain all necessary licenses, permits, and certifications for providing the services, including appropriate permits for the application of chemicals.

 

Background checks on all employees are required, and the servicer must affirm that no employee has any criminal history or is listed on any sex-offender registry.

 

The servicer is responsible for obtaining the necessary licenses and approvals for doing business in the relevant jurisdiction.

 

The agreement specifies the service fees to be paid by the customer for the services rendered. It outlines the invoicing and payment process, including the submission of invoices and itemized expenses. The servicer is responsible for furnishing their own supplies and equipment unless otherwise agreed upon.

 

Warranties and indemnities are provided by the servicer, including prompt notification of any delays or problems, provision of further services to rectify any defects, and maintenance of necessary insurances to cover liability for injury or damage.

 

The agreement has a term and termination section that allows for termination by either party upon written notice. It also includes provisions regarding ownership of materials, intellectual property, confidential information, announcements/publicity, amendment, assignment, severability, further assurance, warranty of capacity and power, force majeure, and no rights under contracts for third parties.
