Service Provider will not be held responsible for any damage to property due to acts outside its reasonable control, such as acts of nature, fire, vandalism, misuse, abuse, or negligence on the part of the Customer to perform necessary maintenance, or design and/or construction flaws in the pool or spa. Service Provider is not responsible for the performance of any chemicals it does not sell. Customer and/or property manager are responsible for maintaining the correct water chemistry levels (when Service Provider is not there) and keeping trees and plants trimmed away from the pool/spa and equipment. Service Provider is not responsible for any damage or deterioration caused by failure of Customer and/or property manager to properly maintain pool and equipment between service visits. In the event of an emergency, Service Provider will make every effort to return calls and answer emails. Emergency services are provided at a separate rate quoted on a case-by-case basis. Any issue that arises outside of the normal weekly service visit is NOT the responsibility of the Service Provider, and any consulting, repairs, or extra visits requested by the customer and/or property manager will be billed as an additional expense quoted on a case by case basis. Customer acknowledges that the Property is the sole responsibility of the Customer. This shall include, but not be limited to, the actions or inactions of Customer’s family/ personnel/pets/animals. As such, Customer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Service Provider and its personnel from and against any liabilities, including but not limited to those related to injuries that may occur due to the action or inaction of Customer’s children/personnel/pets/animals; moreover, Customer understands and agrees that while Service Provider shall use reasonable efforts to follow Customer’s instructions with respect to pets, animals, children and the like, Service Provider cannot be responsible therefor. If pets escape, persons enter the area and are injured, or anything occurs of like kind, unless due to Service Provider’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Customer hereby forfeits all rights to bring suit against Service Provider and its personnel related thereto. If Service Provider’s personnel are injured while working on the Property, unless due to Customer’s or its family/guests/ pets’ action or inaction (such as negligence, intentional acts, or a dog/child running underfoot) or hazards on the Property (such as an undisclosed covered well or uneven sidewalk), Service Provider will be responsible for the injuries, and Customer will be held harmless therefrom. The fees, and other specifics can be found on the Estimate attached hereto. The parties agree that circumstances can arise that affect or prevent Service Provider from performing pool and/or spa/hot tub maintenance such as the weather, an illness such as a Covid-19 outbreak, or a holiday. In such event, Service Provider may elect to postpone pool and spa/hot tub service until a later date. In the event of inclement weather on the scheduled date of service, the pool and spa will be serviced to the extent weather permits. Customer must ensure Service Provider has access to the service area on the scheduled service day, including gate entry codes, lock combinations, security guard verification, and pets relocated from pool/spa area.
