This Agreement, along with our estimate(s), invoice(s), and cleaning schedule(s), constitute the entire agreement between the parties and no other representation or statement, whether written or oral, shall be binding upon the parties.

 

1.                  Services.

 

(a)               All Clear shall provide to Customer certain cleaning services as set out in its estimate (the “Estimate”) to Customer (the “Services”), at the location(s) set out in the Estimate. In the event Customer desires All Clear to regularly perform additional Services beyond those listed in the Estimate, the parties may enter into an additional agreement, setting out the (i) scope of the additional Services, (ii) the schedule of the additional Services, and (iii) the payment terms for the additional Services.

 

(b)               Customer may request All Clear perform one-off, as-needed cleaning services, the terms of which will be set out in an additional invoice between Customer and All Clear, or as otherwise agreed between Customer and All Clear.

All Clear’s cleaning staff shall perform the Services on the dates and times as set out in the Invoice, observing all standard major U.S. holidays.

 

3.                  Payment.  All Clear shall invoice Customer for Services performed for Customer. Invoices will include a description of the cleaning services performed under this Agreement as well as any pre-approved expenses incurred in the performance of the Services.  Payment will be due within thirty (30) days of invoicing. A late charge of 1% per month of the total invoice amount or the highest rate permissible under applicable law will be added to any invoice not timely paid.  In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement or otherwise, in the event Customer fails to pay an invoice in full and the failure to pay continues for thirty (30) days, All Clear may suspend the provision of any Services under this Agreement. Customer shall be responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder.

(c)               In the event Customer does not want All Clear to perform cleaning services on any particular day or at a particular time, Customer shall give All Clear prior notice at least 24 hours prior to the regularly scheduled cleaning time.

(d)               Customer will reasonably cooperate with All Clear to answer questions, provide instructions, or otherwise aid All Clear in providing the Services and will not unreasonably interfere with All Clear’s performance of the Services. If All Clear’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented by any act or omission of Customer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants, or employees, All Clear shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained or incurred by Customer, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
