Order Acceptance/Confirmation for Customers

After you place an order through the BHC Platform, we will check the information you gave us for validity. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order.

If you made a payment to us using any of the methods set forth herein, you will not be charged if we reject an order, and we will process a refund if a charge has been made against you in error.

Billing and Payments

We accept the payment methods set forth on the BHC Platform from time to time including prepayment in full. If we accept your order, before we perform any Cleaning Services and if you provided a credit/debit card at the time of checkout, subject to the Customer Agreement, we may charge your credit/debit card at the time of checkout the estimated total amount or pre-authorize the estimated total amount prior to your appointment time. If we are unable to charge your credit/debit card before your scheduled cleaning appointment or do not receive payment, we will attempt to notify you by phone or email. If we are unable to reach you or you are unable to provide a valid payment method for payment, we, in our absolute and sole discretion, reserve the right to withhold Cleaning Services and you will be charged in accordance with the cancellation policy provided herein. Unless you have agreed to prepay for the Cleaning Services at the time of submitting your order, your credit/debit card will be charged the final total, including tip, overage, and any additional fees after Cleaning Services have been rendered. Any past due balances owed to us will also be assessed interest at an annual rate of 10%.

We may also offer the opportunity for you to purchase a package of multiple or recurring Cleaning Services appointments (each a “Minimum Services Commitment”) to be used within a specified term set forth on the order form at the time of purchase (“Minimum Commitment Period”). If you elect to purchase a Minimum Services Commitment, all Minimum Services Commitment appointments must be scheduled and redeemed within the applicable Minimum Commitment Period. If you fail to schedule and redeem the requisite Minimum Services Commitment within the applicable Minimum Commitment Period or elect to terminate the Minimum Services Commitment prior to the expiration of the Minimum Commitment Period, you will be charged a $99 missed commitment fee. No monetary refunds will be issued for missed commitment fees nor any prepaid Minimum Services Commitment appointments that are not scheduled and redeemed within the Minimum Commitment Period.

“Cleaning Services” means those cleaning services and related quantities (i.e., rooms) that you chose while purchasing BHC services on the BHC Platform including, but not limited to, Minimum Services Commitment, standard housing cleaning services for bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, add-on services and/or deep house cleaning services for all areas, bathrooms, kitchen, bedroom and related add-ons, and move-in/move-out cleaning services for all areas, bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms and the other services you selected at the time of your purchase.

“Excluded Cleaning Services” means all other services other than the Cleaning Services including, but not limited to, those set forth on the BHC Platform or Customer Agreement as excluded services, including, but not limited to, unfinished basements, garages, and other exclusions set forth on the BHC Platform.

Appointments for Cleaning Services

All appointment durations given are based on a single cleaner completing your Cleaning Services. If multiple cleaners are assigned by BHC, in its sole discretion, to perform your Cleaning Services, the quoted duration of your booking may change to reflect that. If, upon inspection of the property in question, the Cleaning Services required exceed those ordered under the Customer Agreement or the quoted duration, BHC will notify you and may in its sole discretion offer additional Cleaning Services to you at its then current hourly rates, subject to your approval. If you or BHC elect not to order or provide, as applicable, such additional Cleaning Services, Cleaning Services appointment will end at the end of the originally quoted duration regardless of whether the property in question is fully cleaned.

You may be provided with a two-hour window within which your Cleaning Services will commence. This allows BHC to account for traffic, parking, and other delays outside BHC’s control. If you select a flexible scheduling option on your Customer Agreement, you may not be provided with a two-hour window.

Safety

Our technicians and staff members are very important to us, and we are very serious about keeping them safe. If, in the performance of Cleaning Services, we uncover any condition or task that is unsafe as determined in our sole discretion, we reserve the right to immediately suspend, cancel, and/or terminate the provision of Cleaning Services until the unsafe conditions are remediated. By purchasing the Cleaning Services, you hereby represent and warrant that the area to be cleaned is free of all unsafe conditions including infestations. Prior to the commencement of Cleaning Services, you agree to notify us in writing of any unsafe condition including any infestation. If an unsafe condition is not remediated or unable to be remediated in a timely manner (in BHC’s sole and absolute discretion), BHC shall terminate the provision of Cleaning Services and you shall be responsible for the full cost of such Cleaning Services as reflected in the applicable Customer Agreement.

Keys/Door Codes/Alarm Codes/Client’s Keys: Alarm codes are transmitted and stored through SSL encryption. In the event you provide a physical key to BHC, you hereby release BHC from any and all claims resulting from the loss or misuse of such key. BHC will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable upon discovery of such loss or misuse.

Heavy Lifting and Elevated Surfaces: Our technicians and staff will not move anything heavier than thirty-five (35) pounds. If you would like us to clean behind appliances like a refrigerator, oven, or sofa, you must move the item prior to the cleaning to allow access to the desired area. Additionally, our technicians and staff will not ascend higher than a two-step ladder to clean high areas.

Infestations: We will not clean a home or office with any pest infestation, including, but not limited to, fleas, bedbugs, rodents and lice.

Climate Control: Cleaning is a very physical job. During the hot summer months, please have your air conditioning turned on for our crew. If it is not on or the temperature in the applicable space is otherwise uncomfortable, as determined in our sole discretion, you hereby permit our team to adjust the climate control (as needed) while on-site.

Cleaning with Client Cleaning Products: We bring all of our own cleaning supplies and you agree to accept same in all cases. If you would like us to use your cleaning products, we may do so, in our sole and absolute discretion and ONLY if the product(s) you are requesting we use are expressly labeled NON-TOXIC. There may be additional fees depending upon the request.

If you would like our staff to use your personal cleaning supplies, you must notify us in writing in advance prior to the commencement of Cleaning Services. You further agree that, in the event we do elect to use your cleaning supplies, BHC will in no way be held liable for any damage to these supplies or caused by these supplies. You further agree to indemnify us for any and all damages or claims resulting from the use of said supplies.

Pets: Many of our clients have pets. If your animal has a history of loud barking, growling, or biting, you must place the animal in a secured area that our staff will not enter. You further agree to indemnify us for any and all damages or claims resulting from your pets.

Urine and Feces: We will not clean litter boxes, pee pads or any other urinated/fecal area. We do not vacuum up litter with our vacuums around litter boxes or otherwise. If you have a handheld vacuum hung or placed near the litter box area, we may use that to clean around a litter box for you. We will not clean up your pet’s urine or feces or other various pet “accidents.”
