It’s very important that you read this document carefully – it’s a legally binding Agreement, and we firmly believe that you should know exactly what you’re agreeing to when you use our Website, Mobile App, and Yard Services (defined below).

1. Terms of Use

This terms of use form the agreement (“Agreement”) between you and Yard Services on Demand Inc., (collectively, “YSOD”) to use and/or access the mobile application (the “App”), website, and lawn/yard care goods and services (the “Yard Services,”) made available by YSOD.

By downloading the App or using the Yard Services, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you may not use the App or access or use the Yard Services. YSOD also may, at its sole discretion, and at any time, discontinue providing the App or Yard Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You acknowledge and agree that YSOD may prevent your access to the Yard Services, including its native content and any user-provided content. Further, you agree that YSOD shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of access to the Yard Services.

YSOD’s collection and use of personal information in connection with the Yard Services is described in YSOD’s Privacy Statements. By signing this Agreement you indicate that you have read, understood and agree to the Privacy Statement.

2. Arbitration Agreement

By agreeing to the Agreement, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against YSOD on an individual basis in arbitration, as outlined in this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against YSOD, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against YSOD by someone else. You may opt-out of this provision only as indicated below.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

For all claims, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first allow YSOD an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You must commence this process by emailing or mailing written notification to policy@yardservicesondemand.com, Yard Services on Demand Inc. c/o CSC, 251 Little Falls Drive Wilmington, Delaware 19808-1674 USA. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If YSOD does not resolve the claim within 30 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your claim in arbitration.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and YSOD.

You and YSOD agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) this Agreement or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Yard Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Agreement, that is not resolved with Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and YSOD, and not in a court of law.

You acknowledge and agree that you and YSOD are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and YSOD otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

Rules and Governing Law.

The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org.

Process.

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. See Notice provisions of this Agreement for what constitutes proper notice. Unless you and YSOD otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the State of Arizona. Parties may appear remotely or by telephone if the Arbitrator permits it.

Arbitrator’s Decision.

The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. The party that prevails in the Arbitration may be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.

Arbitration Opt-Out.

You may choose to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision but only by following the process set forth below. If you do not wish to be subject to this Arbitration Provision, then you (both or all of you if, if more than one) must send YSOD an Opt-Out Notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of this Agreement at the following address: Yard Services On Demand, Inc. c/o CSC, 251 Little Falls Drive Wilmington, Delaware 19808-1674 USA. or electronic mail at policy@yardservicesondemand.com. Your Opt-Out Notice must include (1) your name, (2) address, (3) date of birth, (4) account user name, (5) the date of this Agreement, and (6) a statement that you wish to opt-out of the Arbitration Provision. Indicating your desire to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision in any manner other than as provided above is insufficient notice. The effective date of this Agreement shall be the date you first use our App or the Yard Services, or create an account, whichever comes earlier. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under this Agreement and applies only to this Arbitration Provision and not to any prior or subsequent Arbitration Provision between you and YSOD.

3. The Yard Services

YSOD’s mobile App allows you to arrange and schedule yard work, landscaping, minor repairs (those not requiring a contractor’s license to perform), and similar services, with yard care providers of such services and goods under agreement with YSOD (“Yard Care Providers”). The Yard Services include an option to enter your lawn care or yard care needs into the YSOD mobile App and after answering a few questions posed on the App, receive a fixed price for the Yard Services, subject to acceptance by a Yard Care Provider. The Yard Services are made available solely for personal, noncommercial use.

6. Payment

You understand that use of the Yard Services may result in Fees to you for the services or goods you receive (“Fees”). YSOD will receive and/or enable your payment of the applicable Fees for the Yard Services.

All Fees and payments will be processed by YSOD using the payment method designated in your account. Fees paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by YSOD.

Further, you acknowledge and agree that Fees may increase or decrease depending on factors such as user demand, job site location, date, time, and availability of Yard Care Providers. You also acknowledge and agree that the Fees will be based, in part, on information provided by you such as square footage, yard vegetation, and services desired. If the information you provide is in any way inaccurate or incomplete, you acknowledge and agree that upon notification from the Yard Care Provider of an updated estimate, YSOD will revise the Fees or charge you a cancellation fee if you do not accept the revised charge. YSOD will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Fees that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Fees incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Fees or the amounts thereof.

You may cancel your request for Yard Services at any time at no cost before the Yard Services are accepted by a Yard Care Provider. You may also cancel your request for Yard Services after the Yard Services are accepted by a Yard Care Provider but before the commencement of Yard Services, however, you may be charged a cancellation fee on a Yard Care Provider’s behalf.
YSOD will collect payment of the Fees from you, on the Yard Care Provider’s behalf, and payment of the Fees shall be considered the same as a payment made directly by you to the Yard Care Provider. Do not pay Yard Care Providers directly. If the Yard Care Provider has additional unexpected fees, they will revise the estimate through the App. Any request for payment outside the App should be reported to YSOD at info@yardservicesondemand.com YSOD will not credit, refund, or return any payments to you if they were made outside the App.

If you feel your Fees were unfair or the Yard Services performed were substandard, you retain the right to request a refund or lower Fees by directing the request to YSOD. YSOD will respond and process a full or partial refund if it determines in its sole discretion that a refund or credit is appropriate.

YSOD does not designate any portion of your Fee as a tip or gratuity to a Yard Care Provider. Gratuities are voluntary and cannot be refunded.
