Policies/Terms of Service
Please set aside some time to review this Agreement. Utilization of our services constitutes your acknowledgement and acceptance of this Agreement and of its terms and conditions. By requesting Maid EZ4u LLC (“Maid EZ”) benefits and services by telephone, e-mail, fax, or its website the Client consents to be bound by Maid EZ4u LLC terms and conditions.
1. DEFINITIONS Maid EZ is a New Jersey registered business offering residential and commercial cleaning services to consumer and business customers, hereinafter referred to as (“Client”), seeking to utilize its services on a work for hire basis. Quoted or proposed estimates, hereinafter referred to as (“Estimate”) for cleaning services, hereinafter referred to as (“Service”) given to the Client by Maid EZ (both Client and Maid EZ are referred to as the “Parties”), the Client acknowledges and accepts the Estimate and the accompanying terms and conditions hereinafter referred to as (“Contract”). Maid EZ consents to provide Client with such Service at a Client designated location hereinafter referred to as (“Premises”).
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE A) Maid EZ agrees to provide residential and/or commercial cleaning services to Client at a Location indicated by Client. B) Service will be for such cleaning obligations as concurred with Client at the time of booking. C) Service includes but is not constrained to standard cleaning (also known as Keep It Clean, and Easy Clean); more point by point cleaning (also known as Get It Clean); move in & move out cleaning, and detailed cleaning services (also known as Deep Clean), and post-construction/post-renovation cleaning (also known as Post-Renovation Clean). D) Other additional add-on services as requested by Client remain outside of the stipulated services. E) Maid EZ will always attempt to provide the same team members to Client, Client understands this may not always be possible; accordingly, Maid EZ reserves the right to change its Service Providers in its sole discretion. F) Maid EZ maintains whatever authority is needed to suspend or cancel Service if payments are not received on the due date. G) Maid EZ attempts to complete all tasks inside assessed times, however such approximations are calculated on typical times needed to clean homes of comparable size. Should a given task, beyond Maid EZ’s control, take longer than assessed, Maid EZ reserves the right to charge Client, and Client agrees to pay, an additional fair and reasonable amount. H) The operation of washing machines, dryers, or dish washers, by Maid EZ Service Providers is done at Client’s risk.
3. ALTERATIONS/ADDITIONS TO WORK A) Neither party may modify the Service outlined in the Estimate without the prior endorsement of the other party. B) Should additional services or variations of Service be required by Client while Service is in progress, then Client agrees to first contact Maid EZ, who may agree to supply the additional services in its absolute discretion. Client agrees not to request such changes directly with the Service Providers as they are not authorized to make such changes to the Service being provided.
4. ESTIMATE: A) The finite price payable by Client is determined by the amount of time each assignment is estimated to take. Maid EZ Estimate is an appraisal alone based on Maid EZ experience, sight unseen, and in view of data provided by Client. B) If at the beginning, or over the span of supplying Service, it is clear the real cost of Service will surpass Maid EZ Estimate due to: Client gives off base portrayal of property, or if in the perspective of Maid EZ Service Providers, state of property is in an outlandish state contrasted to requested services. C) Client agrees to inform Maid EZ in advance if Service required is for an ‘end of tenancy’, or is a Moving In or Moving Out Clean. All Moving Cleans require Deep Clean to be selected. D) Client agrees to inform Maid EZ in advance if Service required is a Post-Renovation Clean. All homes that have had recent construction or renovation work require Post-Renovation Clean to be selected. All Post-Renovation Cleans require Deep Clean to be selected.
The estimated time for each configuration is arrived upon utilizing Maid EZ’s broad experience of cleaning hundreds of different types of homes of every imaginable size and cleaning condition. For homes that are significantly soiled, or have been neglected for a long-time, then the amount of time needed to clean such homes may take longer than the figures displayed. In such instances Client will be given the choice of prioritizing areas of the home to clean to Maid EZ’s best ability within the allocated time, or the option of requesting additional time in order to continue cleaning beyond the allocated time. Amounts charged will be at the following rates corresponding to Maid EZ’s different cleaning types:
Deep Clean/Moving Cleans: $60 per labor-hour (i.e. $30 for each 30-minute increment, per cleaner)
Get It Clean: $50 per labor-hour (i.e. $25 for each 30-minute increment, per cleaner)
Keep It Clean: $40 per labor-hour (i.e. $20 for each 30-minute increment, per cleaner)
In Maid EZ’s experience the vast majority of homes can be well cleaned within the estimated time therefore this only happens occasionally, and on homes that haven’t been professionally cleaned in a long time or perhaps not at all. Homes that are old; have musty smelling odors; are in overall neglect, although they can be cleaned to a condition that is significantly improved upon in comparison to before cleaning, are not likely to be as clean as homes that are in better physical condition and those that have been more recently cleaned.
The pricing structure for Deep Clean, Get It Clean, Keep It Clean, is not based on a set number of hours but rather on providing a cleaning service using a selected cleaning type that calculates estimated time based on a home configuration. It’s possible if the home is small and not particularly dirty that the cleaning may be completed in less time than what’s estimated on our website. Client recognizes that it is purchasing a cleaning service estimated to take a certain number of labor-hours rather than purchasing a set number of labor-hours.
Homes that have had construction, or post-renovation, work; or have dust residue and/or paint on floors, are subject to Post-Renovation Clean cleaning type rates. Selecting Post-Renovation Clean auto-selects Deep Clean. There is an additional surcharge for Post-Renovation Clean, appearing on the check-out page, which is calculated on a per-room basis. Additional estimated time is added also to the Order Detail calculated also on a per room basis, regardless of size. Client agrees that in homes that fall into this category that Client will select Post-Renovation Clean on Maid EZ’s website, or inform Maid EZ in the event of manually generated invoices. Should Client fail to select/advise Post-Renovation Clean in such circumstances then Client authorizes Maid EZ to bill Client accordingly at Maid EZ’s stated website prices, and agrees to pay said invoice within 24 hours of presentation. Client may request Maid EZ to send its Service Providers back to Client’s premises to work the additional labor-hours once Maid EZ’s invoice is paid.
Although Client may select the number of Service Providers they should like to have to clean their home, Maid EZ will make best efforts to accommodate Client’s request however Maid EZ reserves the right to decide how many to actually send based on availability of Service Providers and the number of labor-hours the assignment is estimated to take based on Client’s submitted order reflecting Client’s home configuration.
Maid EZ requires Client, and Client agrees, to do a walk-through as each room is completed, or at the end of the cleaning assignment, and before the Service Provider(s) leave the Client’s residence, and, to complete and sign its provided “Confirmation of Provided Service” form (https://maide-z.com/confirmation-of-provided-service-form/), and to give it to the Service Provider(s) in attendance. This document contains legal language that affirms that Maid EZ’s Service Provider(s) did arrive at Client’s residence and that cleaning service was provided to Client’s satisfaction. If during the walk-through there is something that the Client wants cleaned again, or an area that was missed, then Client will request the Service Provider(s) to do it again before the Service Provider(s) leave so that the Client can be satisfied. Client understands that if a home is very dirty and has not been professionally cleaned before or not in a long time, then the desired cleaning results within the estimated time may not be achieved. Client may request additional time and to pay additionally as referred to above in a preceding clause. Should Client decline to request additional time then Client accepts that the Service Provider(s) will focus on areas of greatest importance within the estimated length of the assignment. The purpose of this procedure is to ensure the Client’s satisfaction. Should Client still feel there is an issue then Client agrees to reach out to Maid EZ during the cleaning service and before its Service Provider(s) leave the Client’s residence and Maid EZ will endeavor to resolve any issue. Should Client fail to contact Maid EZ during the cleaning service and before its Service Provider(s) leave then Client recognizes that it has no basis with which to file a dispute with PayPal or its financial institution. Should Client, or Client’s Representative, fail to be present during the cleaning service and/or fail to complete and sign Maid EZ’s provided “Confirmation of Provided Service” form while its Service Provider(s) are still there, or not at all, then all parties shall agree that service was provided and to the satisfaction of Client, without any recourse to Maid EZ. Client agrees to be bound by this stipulation.
5. SERVICE A) Client must notify Maid EZ when ordering Service of any hazards, tricky surfaces, dangers or threats, built-in dirt, oil or crud located at the Premises. B) Maid EZ reserves the right to decline Service for any reason. C) Only the designated areas consented to on the Estimate will be cleaned by Maid EZ Service Providers. D) Client agrees to select Moving Clean cleaning type on all move-in and move-out cleans. E) Client agrees to select Post-Renovation Clean cleaning type on homes that have had recent construction or renovation work whereby such work has generated dust and/or the amount of dirt that is not associated with homes that have not had such recent construction or renovation work. F) Selected Add-on’s add to both the duration of the assignment as well as to the overall cost. Each Add-on has its own perimeters with respect to what can be achieved within the allocated time based on the actual cleaning condition of the particular Add-on. In the case of cleaning inside of an oven, we offer 3 different options to select from based on their respective sizes and cleaning condition. The same thing applies to cleaning inside of a refrigerator, please be aware also that in older model refrigerators that have an ice-box or freezer that accumulates ice build up, the freezer compartment can only be cleaned if it has been defrosted or turned off the night before whereby allowing it to be cleaned. For cleaning inside of kitchen cabinets, our Service Providers can only clean inside when the contents have been removed the night before. In Instances when Client has not removed the contents then the Service Provider will do so however this may add to the time it takes to complete the overall assignment. Cleaning of Interior Windows includes the glass, and window sill. Older homes with wooden frames that are particularly dirty are not included in our rates but can be cleaned at an additional cost based on the type of cleaning service and the amount of estimated time the attending Service Provider estimates is needed.
6. PAYMENT A) Client agrees to pre-pay Maid EZ for Service in accordance to directions on its website. The invoice amount will match to the Estimate provided on Maid EZ website, plus any added services, if any, requested by Client. B) If payment is not made by the day of Service, with no alternative arrangements between the Parties in place, then Service will be considered as cancelled, and Client will be charged the full value of the Estimate. C) All payments must be made in US Dollar funds. D) Payments may be made via PayPal, debit or credit cards as noted. Maid EZ will email Client a receipt of their payment transaction.
7. NON-ACCESS FEE A) Should Maid EZ or its Service Providers be unable to gain entry to Premises and Client fails to return to Premises to let them in then Client agrees to forego entire payment for the scheduled Service. B) Should Client return to premises to let Service Providers in then Client will be charged a waiting fee of $60 per labor-hour that the Service Providers must wait until they are able to commence Service.
8. FEE ON NON-ACCESS TO PREMISES In the event that the Client does not accommodate unencumbered admission to the Premises for Maid EZ or its Service Providers to accommodate the Service, the Client agrees to cost absolute agreed aloft fee for the appointed services.
9. COMPLAINT NOTIFICATION Client agrees to notify Maid EZ before the Service Providers leave the Premises of any grievances relative to the services provided that Client has been unable to address with the Service Providers directly during the walk-through at the end of the provided service.
10. CANCELLATION Client recognizes that once their order and corresponding payment have been made on Maid EZ’s website that their transaction is non-refundable, and non-cancellable. In cases where Client purchased a promotion coupon for discounted service such as Groupon or Living Social but forgot or failed to apply it on Maid EZ’s website during the checkout process, Maid EZ agrees to refund to Client, using the same payment method that Client used during the ordering process, the promotional value (if unexpired), or the amount Client paid to purchase the voucher (if expired), of the Groupon or Living Social (please note that Maid EZ coupon codes, as displayed on its website, do not count as being refundable to Client if not selected at the time of placing the website order) but ONLY AFTER service has been completed and the Groupon code has been redeemed by Maid EZ and corresponding payment from Groupon has been received. Groupon generates its reports and remittances on the 1st and 15th of each month, if these days fall on a holiday or a weekend then this takes place on the first business day thereafter in which case Client can expect to receive such refund from Maid EZ by that next Wednesday. Should service not take place then there shall be no refund of the promotional value, or of the amount Client paid to purchase the voucher if expired, of unused coupon codes. Should Client cancel the Groupon or Living Social then no refund of the coupon’s promotional value will be made at all by Maid EZ. Client may reschedule Service with 2 business-days’ notice preceding the beginning of the Service; for example for an assignment scheduled for Friday then such notice needs to be made by the end of business (6.00 PM EST) on Tuesday. Should less than 2 full business-days’ notice occur then Client consents to pay a cancellation fee of 100% of Estimate. All rescheduled cleaning services must be completed within 3 months of the original date of order otherwise any payments received are forfeited. Should Client place an order on a date that is not available to Maid EZ Clean then Client agrees to select another future date that is within 3 months of the Client’s order. Should service not happen within this 3 month period then Client agrees that its payment is forfeited. Client accepts that it may only reschedule its cleaning service once. Any deviation to this clause, such as mitigating circumstances, is at Maid EZ’s sole discretion in allowing Client to reschedule its cleaning service, subject to paying a $100 rescheduling fee. Any consented refund, again at Maid EZ’s sole discretion, will be subject to a $100 cancellation fee charge.
11. USE OF COUPON CODES, including but not limited to Groupon/Living Social, require Client to select the corresponding configuration and cleaning type that matches to the promotion as advertised and in accordance to The Fine Print. For example, a Groupon promotion that is with Deep Clean service for 3+ bedrooms requires Client to select the number of bedrooms of 3 or more that matches to their home configuration, and Deep Clean service. If the said example coupon code is used, for example, for 2 bedrooms and Get It Clean service then this causes a mismatch that then requires Maid EZ to create a manual invoice, which is time-consuming. Another example would be when using a “bundle” promotion, that is to say the combination of a cleaning type with an Add-on service e.g. Deep Clean and Interior Window Clean whereby both Deep Clean, as the cleaning type, and Interior Window Clean add-on both need to be selected and correspond also to the number of bedrooms that match to the description of the purchased voucher or coupon code. In the event a manual invoice is created then Client agrees to be billed a $25 service charge, which at Maid EZ’s sole discretion may be waived except in cases of refunds whereby this amount is not refundable. As explained in paragraph #10 above it is not the policy of Maid EZ to issue refunds on orders that have utilized a coupon code on its website except in rare mitigating circumstances and at Maid EZ’s sole discretion.
12. FORCE MAJEURE Maid EZ bears no responsibility, nor liability, if unable to perform its obligations, or is otherwise delayed from doing so, as a result of any action beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, any of the following: A) Maid EZ’s Service Providers are no longer available; B) Sabotage, terrorism, civilian commotion, riot, political anarchism or disturbance, invasion, war, threat or alertness for war; C) Fire, blast, storm/inclement weather and its after effects, surge, plague or characteristic physical fiasco; D) Immobility of railroads, shipping, aircraft, motor carriage or other means of transport whether public or private; E) Strikes, lock outs or other industrial action; F) any City, County, State or Government decree, statute or law having jurisdiction over the Parties.
13.

B) Any fees or costs, whether legal or other, associated with the collection of unpaid sums owing to Maid EZ by Client, are the responsibility of the Client.

Under such circumstances the customer’s payment is forfeited in the same respect that the assignment is cancelled outside of the permissable reschedule notice period. Client agrees to be bound by this stipulation.

Each service provided but not part of Client’s order will come with a $100 penalty which will be waived if Client’s payment for Post-Renovation Cleaning, or Add-on services is received within 24 hours.
