Terms & Conditions

THIS AGREEMENT is made on the date of this invoice BETWEEN the Client (“Buyer or Property

Owner/Manager”) and . or its Independent Contractor, Service

Provider ("Service Provider"), collectively referred to as the "Parties".

RECITALS: Buyer wishes to be provided with the Services (defined below) by Service Provider and Service

Provider agrees to provide the services to Buyer on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

DISCLAIMER: Mold occurs naturally everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Any presence of moisture will almost certainly result in mold or mildew growth. Service Provider is not responsible or liable in any fashion for the past, present, or future mold or mildew growth. The presence of moisture will stop and/or void any work, warranty of Service Provider until resolved by Property Owner/Manager. Buyer acknowledges that moisture damage occurring before, after, or during mitigation and/or when Service Provider attempts to mitigate contents which were affected, moisture, damaged, permanently discolored, faded, and/or bleached areas might remain even though Service Provider covenants to use every diligent effort and means available to rectify. Buyer understands that there is no warranty in circumstances where property or items could have been restored to a dried condition prior to the service but Buyer refused to do so. In the case of post-treatments where moisture is found, and when demolition, dry-outs, or uncovering mold-infested areas are not performed by either party for any reason, and/or the treatment was unsuccessful, Service Provider is not liable for any damages and is

limited only to the applicable warranty terms offered by Service Provider or maximum amount paid by Buyer to Service Provider. “.” claims by Service Provider are not

applicable in all cases. While Service Provider provides diligent efforts to penetrate covered cavities in the home or business, certain cases will require demolition or removal of materials to uncover unseen issues. Each situation may be obvious while most are not. The Property Owner/Manager is responsible and advised by Service Provider that demolition or removal of certain materials may be REQUIRED to fully resolve serious incidents of mold or mildew growth. Description of work to be performed may be incomplete or insufficient to resolve all situations and Service Provider shall work to resolve any suc circumstances diligently. However, Service Provider shall be held harmless and not liable for any deficiencies.

INSPECTION & TESTING DISCLAIMER: Buyer has been advised to obtain their own 3rd party inspection and/or testing for both before, and after any treatment, from a neutral certified provider that is not affiliated with Service Provider or Buyer as this may be considered a conflict of interest. Any inspection by Service Provider, whether free or paid for is not comprehensive and only limited to the information and visual aspects provided by Buyer. Hidden or subsequent issues may exist which are not likely to be discovered within the scope of our investigation and should not be relied upon as exhaustive or inclusive in any circumstance. Buyer fully understands this and therefore does not rely on Service Provider’s assessment or test results for validation or certification. Buyer further agrees to hold Service Provider harmless from any claims or liability resulting from any type of inspection or testing. For internal unofficial testing, Service Provider shall collect samples with devices and supplies certified for use and

testing by the certified testing third party laboratory (“Lab”). Service Provider does not make any claims, certifications, or warranties of any testing outside of collecting a usable sample to be delivered to and results provided by the 3rd party Lab. Service Provider and the Lab are not affiliated nor connected in any fashion. The results provided are direct from the Lab which we forward to Buyer. If Buyer, any authority, or entity requesting or requiring an entirely separate and independent certified test(s), that is at the sole discretion and responsibility of Buyer at Buyer’s own expense. Any dispute arising from tests

provided by Service Provider are resolved and limited only to the amount paid for the testing itself. A refund of the testing fee is the only remedy accepted for resolution by Buyer.

a. Service Provider represents and warrants Mold Services (no new mold contamination will occur in the living/working spaces) for a period of one-year ONLY when, moisture levels are normal, the living/working spaces in the entire home or business are treated, both steps of the two-step process are used, and the invoice is paid in full within 30 days of the dated invoice. Payments received after 30 days are considered a forfeiture of the Warranty offered and are at the discretion of Service Provider. The Warranty is fully transferrable. Crawl Spaces, Attics, and Garages are not covered by this warranty because of possible large amounts of outside air in these areas affecting test results. Spot treatments or treatments which do not involve the entire home or business including HVAC system and ductwork (if present) are not warranted unless otherwise noted. Warranty term is one-year from the date listed on the invoice. Warranty is void if additional water is introduced to premises, i.e., groundwater, broken pipe, appliance leak, roof leak, etc. or if any past, present, or future water issues have not been or are not repaired. Warranty is void if kitchens and bathrooms are not properly vented and if sink, tub, and

shower tile grout and caulking are not repaired and maintained resulting in water penetrating behind them into the wall or floor creating mold growth. Warranty is also void if a current leak or water issue is not completely repaired and dried out below 30% humidity content before Service Provider completes mold remediation treatment. Service Provider is a Certified Mold Inspector and a Certified Mold Remediation Contractor.

b. After mold remediation service is completed and before the Service Provider leaves, mold samples

will be collected and sent in to a third-party lab for detailed analysis. Test results failing to show hidden mold in the living/working space is always a possibility. Once Service Provider receives the email of the detailed reports from the third-party lab, Service Provider will forward them by email to Client. If the lab report shows no growth of mold collected, or mold levels are lower inside the living/working space compared to outside levels, a One-Year Warranty will be emailed to Client. If, in the rare event, the lab test report yields a result of mold growth on a ViaCell lab report or yields a result of mold levels that are higher inside the living/working space than outside on Spore Trap lab report, Service Provider will re-inspect for moisture and if moisture above 30% is not found the Service Provider will re-treat and re-test the living/working space at no charge. If after the re-treatment and re-testing, the lab test results still show results listed above, 100% of the original cost of the treatment will be refunded to Client by Service Provider.

c. If this Warranty is executed within one-year from the date listed on the Warranty because visible

mold has returned or if the Warranty Holder suspects mold has returned, Service Provider reserves the

right to re-inspect the property for moisture and if moisture above 30% is not found then mold samples

will be taken in the living or working space. The Warranty holder is liable for covering the cost for the

mold testing associated with executing this document. If, in the rare event, the lab test report yields a

result of mold growth on a ViaCell lab report or yields a result of mold levels that are higher inside

the living/working space than outside on Spore Trap lab report, Service Provider will re-inspect for

moisture and if moisture above 30% is not found the Service Provider will refund the cost of the

mold testing and re-treat and re-test the same living/working space area that was previously treated

and tested at no charge. If after this re-treatment and re-testing, the lab test report yields a result of

mold growth on a ViaCell lab report or yields a result of mold levels that are higher inside the

living/working space than outside on Spore Trap lab report, Service Provider will refund 100% of the

cost of the original treatment to Warranty Holder.
