Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 17, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern use of this website and services offered by JT’s Lawn & Landscaping, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By using this website or requesting services, you agree to these Terms.

1. Website Use and No Contract

Use of this website, submission of a form, or communication through the website does not by itself create a contract for services. Except for emergency work as described below, services are generally governed by a written proposal, maintenance agreement, seasonal agreement, invoice, or other written contract accepted by the customer.

2. Written Agreements Control

If there is any conflict between these Terms and a written proposal, contract, maintenance agreement, snow agreement, invoice, or other signed or accepted writing, the written agreement controls. Services may differ by job, season, property, or customer, and not every service offering is available for every project.

3. New Jersey Home Improvement Compliance

All home improvement work is intended to be performed pursuant to written agreements that comply with applicable New Jersey law. Customers should review all written proposals and agreements carefully before accepting work.

4. Estimates, Proposals, and Scope

All estimates and pricing are based on the scope, timing, access, and visible conditions known at the time of pricing. Pricing, scope, scheduling, and materials may change if site conditions change, hidden conditions are discovered, access is limited, the customer requests added work, or unforeseen conditions arise. Only the work specifically described in the applicable written proposal or agreement is included.

5. Emergency Work

In limited emergency situations, work may be performed without a signed agreement when immediate action is reasonably necessary. In those situations, the customer agrees to pay for labor, materials, equipment, mobilization, and related work performed at reasonable and customary rates.

6. Payment Terms

Payment is due within 7 days unless a different deadline is stated in writing. Deposits may be required before certain work begins. We may accept payment by check, cash, credit card, or other approved method.

Credit card payments may be subject to a processing fee, typically 3.5%, or 1.75% for authorized recurring payments where a completed credit card authorization form is on file, unless otherwise disclosed in writing.

7. Late Fees and Suspension

Any unpaid balance outstanding more than 7 days may accrue a late charge of 2% per month, or the maximum amount permitted by law, until paid in full. Customer agrees that any such late charge is intended as a reasonable estimate of administrative and collection-related costs and is not a penalty. We reserve the right to suspend or decline future services for overdue accounts.

8. Cancellations

Estimate appointments may be canceled before acceptance. Once a proposal or applicable agreement is accepted, a 10% cancellation fee may apply if stated in the proposal or agreement. Recurring maintenance, lawn care, snow, or seasonal services may have different cancellation terms stated in the applicable agreement.

9. Scheduling and Weather

Scheduling, start dates, completion timelines, route timing, and service frequency may change due to weather, safety concerns, access issues, site conditions, equipment availability, labor availability, material availability, growth conditions, or other operational needs. We may skip, delay, reschedule, or adjust services when conditions reasonably warrant.

10. Snow and Ice Services

Snow and ice management services are intended to reduce winter hazards, not eliminate them. We do not guarantee bare pavement, completely snow-free surfaces, completely ice-free surfaces, or hazard-free conditions. Conditions may remain or become hazardous after service because of continued precipitation, drifting, refreezing, runoff, traffic, shade, temperature changes, or other environmental conditions. Snow and ice services may be billed per visit, per event, per application, or under seasonal pricing, as stated in the applicable agreement.

11. Property Conditions and Customer Responsibilities

Customer is responsible for providing safe and reasonable site access and for identifying known hazards, boundaries, improvements, and sensitive items. We are not responsible for damage, delay, or added cost caused by underground utilities not properly marked, hidden or unknown site conditions, improperly located private lines, invisible fences, irrigation components, unmarked wiring, pre-existing structural or drainage issues, buried debris, or conditions beyond our reasonable control. Customer is responsible for obtaining any required permits unless otherwise agreed in writing.

12. Contractor Discretion and Right to Stop Work

Certain work methods, sequencing, material placement, drainage measures, repairs, and related field decisions may be handled in our reasonable discretion based on site conditions, safety, practicality, and accepted industry practice. We reserve the right to refuse, delay, or stop work if conditions are unsafe, access is restricted, site hazards are undisclosed, weather makes work impractical, or payment obligations are not met.

13. Subcontractor Work

When we act as a subcontractor, or when another contractor, property manager, association, or commercial customer is involved, separate agreements may govern pricing, scheduling, scope, access, insurance requirements, billing, and claim procedures.

14. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless JT’s Lawn & Landscaping, Inc., its owners, employees, and representatives from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to site conditions, customer-provided information, customer instructions, undisclosed hazards, the acts or omissions of third parties, or the customer’s breach of these Terms or any applicable agreement.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to the website, any estimate, any proposal, or any services shall not exceed the amount actually paid to us for the specific services giving rise to the claim. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory asserted, including contract, negligence, or otherwise. In no event shall we be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or business interruption damages, loss of use, loss of profits, diminution in value, or similar damages.

16. Website Content Disclaimer

Descriptions of services, photos, examples, and statements on this website are general in nature, may not apply to every job, and do not constitute a guarantee of pricing, method, timing, or availability. Actual services are governed only by the applicable written agreement and conditions at the property.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute relating to the website or services are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any legal action shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction located in New Jersey.
