Specialty Service Terms – Advanced IPM
Specialty – Description & Terms
The Service
Advanced IPM’s exclusion services are designed as more of a long-term approach to controlling pests. Exclusions will consist of a skilled technician addressing findings detailed and agreed to from your survey results. A maintenance program is recommended for protection of your property.
Customer agrees to provide access to all areas of the home and surrounding area as necessary to complete the services as listed above. Except as noted otherwise, the roof, plumbing and HVAC systems were not inspected and are not covered under the terms of this agreement: Homeowner is advised to consult the appropriate specialist(s) these systems are of concern. Although it is our goal to prevent pest damage, Customer agrees not to hold Advanced IPM responsible should such damage occur. Advanced IPM offers a 1-year warranty on actual repairs performed only. Unless noted otherwise, repairs and materials used for repairs will be left unpainted and therefore may not match the rest of the structure. Damage to repairs resulting from non-target pests or other unrelated acts is not covered and may void our warranty as will be determined by Advanced IPM on a case by case basis. No coverage is offered, nor opinion rendered on areas that were considered inaccessible for inspection when the job cost on this agreement was determined (including but not limited to attached structures, wall voids, areas obscured by stored items, foliage, insulation or other materials). Inaccessible areas may be addressed and priced separately after said areas have been made accessible by a method mutually agreeable to both the Customer and Advanced IPM. Because there are many issues that can lead to re-infestation which are not controllable by Advanced IPM (such as doors left open, sanitation issues, structural changes, landscaping issues, etc.), there is no guarantee that re-infestation or new infestation will not occur. AIPM shall not be held liable for damage caused by other trades and individuals. AIPM shall hold no liability or responsibility for damaged caused by defects in the building design or structural flaws of any part of the structure, including adjacent buildings. AIPM bears no responsibility to verify slope and ponding issues or problems of any kind with the roof substrates. AIPM shall make every attempt to execute work in an effective manner to address proposed pest issues but makes no claims as to the impact it may have on the structure including the roof. AIPM cannot be liable for leaks and mold issues and makes no claims regarding water tight integrity. Extra work or inefficiencies caused by or resulting from having limited or no access to the worksite, dumpster locations or loading locations. By signing below, Customer hereby acknowledges their understanding and acceptance of this agreement and the terms as stated herein.
Lawn Care, Weed Control Agreement Terms and Conditions:
AIPM will fertilize the listed lawn areas with a seasonally appropriate material. While the goal of our lawn care service is a healthier, greener lawn, AIPM is not solely responsible for the outcome of the service. You, the customer, play a large part in this service. Good cultural practices, including proper watering and mowing, is integral to the outcome of any lawn care service. AIPM makes no guarantees. Our technicians are happy to provide written watering, mowing, and aeration tips. AIPM assumes no responsibility for irrigation, mowing, overall age and condition of the turf, or weather. All these factors play a significant role in the appearance and health of the turf. The service does not include treatment for the grassy weeds in your lawn, such as bermudagrass, dallisgrass, bentgrass, and annual bluegrass (Poa annua). This agreement also does not include mechanical weed control – such as mowing, discing, or hand pulling of weeds. Even after a thorough service, some plant material may remain. There are no materials registered that will prevent every type of weed. However, through our maintenance service, we can manage the regrowth with post-emergent applications of registered materials. Damage to the landscape by fungus, insects, diseases, natural events, etc., will not be covered. AIPM assumes no responsibility or liability for damage caused by burrowing rodent activity.
Mosquito Service:
Our Mosquito Service is designed to reduce localized population, provide some relief, and target overall activity. AIPM is not responsible for conducive conditions, including standing water, harborage areas, or similar issues at neighboring properties that may impact the overall efficacy of the Mosquito Service. AIPM makes no guarantee of control for mosquitos or any flying insect.
General Disclaimers Applying to All Services:
Pets and Gates for general use:
Our service team loves pets, but all pets do not love us! Please have your pets indoors or kenneled while we are servicing your yard. We can service your property with pets around, but we take no responsibility for any injury to your pets. If we think that a pet is aggressive, we will not service the property accessible by that pet. If we cannot service your property due to the gate being locked or closed, we will service the front and other accessible areas. You may contact us for service when the area can be accessed. This can be prevented by providing us with a key or code to access the backyard.
