IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS IMPORTANT PROVISIONS REGARDING THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMER IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND LAWN PRIDE. 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 Lawn Pride for lawn care services contracted through the Lawn Pride website, or by telephone, email, and / or any other method. Customer acknowledges that these terms and conditions are a material inducement for Lawn Pride to enter into a contract with Customer. Lawn care treatments must be applied in compliance with product label requirements. Accordingly, Customer agrees to follow instructions regarding product label requirements that are left with Customer following a lawn care treatment, including, but not necessarily limited to, watering in the treatment.

OUR GUARANTEE. For Customers purchasing 5 or more fertilization and weed control applications in a season, Lawn Pride will revisit Customer’s property as often as needed between scheduled visits to make any necessary fertilizing or weed control adjustments and to ensure Customer’s satisfaction.

CONTINUOUS SERVICE. To optimize the effectiveness of the services provided, Customer’s plan shall continue from 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 Lawn Pride at 877-963-3200 to cancel. Customer or Lawn Pride 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 NON-REFUNDABLE and any remaining account balance for pre-pay Customers who terminate their annual plan early (prior to completion of all scheduled plan applications) shall remain the property of Lawn Pride, Inc. Lawn Pride reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to implement annual price increases due to inflation, cost of goods and services, or other economic factors.

COST OF SERVICES/BILLING. Except as otherwise set forth herein, billing for each lawn application (and applicable fuel, handling, processing, or other economic surcharges) will occur after service is rendered with payment due upon receipt of invoice. All new Customers are required to enroll in Lawn Pride’s Auto-Pay program or prepay for their annual lawn care service plan. The cost of services in a Customer’s plan may vary. Current year discounts may not apply in subsequent years. Any credits or discounts offered by Lawn Pride shall only be applied to future Lawn Pride services and are not redeemable by Customer for cash.

AUTO-PAY AGREEMENT. Customer’s enrollment in the Lawn Pride Auto-Pay option constitutes Customer’s agreement to the following terms and provisions which shall be deemed a binding part of Customer’s agreement to receive and pay for services provided by Lawn Pride. Please read these provisions carefully and contact Lawn Pride immediately in the event that you wish to cancel your Auto-Pay Enrollment.

Customer agrees to pay for all services provided and authorizes Lawn Pride to initiate electronic payment transactions from the credit card account that Customer has provided to Lawn Pride. Customer’s consent applies to all invoices issued by Lawn Pride for all services provided at any time, including invoices for services that automatically renew each year. All payments will be automatically withdrawn from Customers specified credit card account on the date Lawn Pride issues an invoice for services unless Customer terminates the above authorization in the manner described herein.

Customer understands and agrees that Lawn Pride shall automatically charge Customer’s credit card account, as applicable, for the total amount due on Customer’s account. The charge or debit shall be initiated by Lawn Pride as required without further notice to Customer. LAWN PRIDE SHALL BEAR NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSSES OF ANY KIND THAT CUSTOMER MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF A PAYMENT MADE ON ITEMS INCORRECTLY BILLED OR FOR ANY DELAY IN THE ACTUAL DATE ON WHICH CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT IS DEBITED OR CUSTOMER’S CREDIT CARD IS CHARGED.

To cancel your Auto-Pay Enrollment, Customer must call Lawn Pride at 877-963-3200. Customer agrees that Lawn Pride may contact Customer via telephone, text, or email and further agrees to promptly notify Lawn Pride of any changes or updates to Customer’s credit card information.

Customer agrees to promptly notify Lawn Pride in the event of any billing errors so that Lawn Pride can correct any such errors. If Customer’s payment is rejected, refused, returned, disputed, or reversed by Customer’s financial institution or card issuer for any reason, Lawn Pride shall have the right to immediately terminate its contractual relationship with Customer.

Lawn Pride reserves the right to terminate Customer’s Auto-Pay enrollment at any time.

Customer is responsible to verify whether or not any additional charges will be applied by Customer’s credit card issuer and agrees to be bound by any rules that Customer’s financial institution requires for pre-authorized credit card transactions. Customer is responsible for all fees charged by your financial institution associated with this pre-authorized payment option.

Lawn Pride reserves the right to revise the terms of Auto-Pay Enrollment from time to time and will provide notice of any such changes by posting revisions on the Lawn Pride website which shall be deemed effective at the time of posting. If Customer does not agree with any such revisions, Customer must terminate the Auto-Pay Enrollment immediately. Customer’s continued use of the Auto-Pay Enrollment constitutes Customer’s agreement with these terms and conditions, as amended.

CHECK PROCESSING POLICY ACH. Payment by check constitutes Customer’s authorization to either use information from Customer’s check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from Customer’s account or to process the payment as a check transaction. If we use information from Customer’s check to make an electronic fund transfer, funds may be withdrawn from Customer’s account as soon as the same day we receive payment and Customer will not receive a copy of the check back from Customer’s financial institution. If any check, draft, credit card, or EFT transfer payable to Lawn Pride is not honored, Lawn Pride will assess a $25.00 fee for each such item (in addition to all other rights and remedies for the unpaid balance).

LATE FEES. A service charge of 0.66% per month shall be added to the unpaid balance of all accounts not paid within 30 days. If payment is not made, you agree to be responsible for and reimburse Lawn Pride for all costs of collection, including any court fees and attorney’s fees incurred for the collection of your account.

NOTICE OF CLAIM AND OPPORTUNITY TO CURE. Customer acknowledges that Lawn Pride is a lawn maintenance company that provides lawn maintenance services and that Lawn Pride is not a home improvement contractor and / or a real property improvement supplier. Lawn Pride applies all lawn care products per the manufacturer label. Before any claim can be asserted by Customer against Lawn Pride 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 Lawn Pride or its agents, employees, or representatives, Customer must provide timely written notice to Lawn Pride 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 Lawn Pride 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. Lawn Pride 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 Lawn Pride determines to have been its responsibility. Customer agrees to provide Lawn Pride 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 Lawn Pride’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 Lawn Pride 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 Lawn Pride are barred if such claims are not initiated within one year of the last date of service provided by Lawn Pride to Customer, or the date of the act or omission upon which such claim is based, whichever comes first. A claim is “initiated” when Lawn Pride 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 Lawn Pride receives service of a Summons and Complaint.

 

MANDATORY ARBITRATION. Customer and Lawn Pride agree that all claims by Customer against Lawn Pride which in any way relate to this contract, or to the lawn care services provided to Customer by Lawn Pride, will be resolved by mandatory binding arbitration.

The arbitration shall be conducted in Marion County Indiana under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In no event shall Lawn Pride 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 Lawn Pride 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, Lawn Pride’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 Lawn Pride, any litigation between Customer and Lawn Pride shall be governed by Indiana law and resolved exclusively in the State or Federal courts located in Marion County Indiana. Customer agrees to personal jurisdiction and venue in Marion County Indiana. Customer expressly waives any right to a trial by jury in any litigation against Lawn Pride.

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