1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you (“Client,” “you,” or “your”) and Maple Grove Garden Care Ltd., located at 4280 Midway Road, Mississauga, ON L5T 1Z5, Canada (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms govern your access to and use of our garden care services, including any related quotations, work orders, service schedules, communications, and invoices.

By requesting, scheduling, paying for, or accepting any service from Maple Grove Garden Care Ltd., you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use our services.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a business, organization, property manager, landlord, or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. Scope of Services

Maple Grove Garden Care Ltd. provides garden and outdoor property maintenance services, which may include:

  • Lawn mowing and edging
  • Garden bed maintenance
  • Seasonal planting and flower installation
  • Shrub and hedge trimming
  • Mulching and soil enhancement
  • Spring and fall yard cleanups
  • Irrigation system inspection and basic adjustment

The exact scope, frequency, and timing of services will be set out in a quotation, proposal, estimate, service agreement, invoice, or written confirmation issued by Maple Grove Garden Care Ltd. Any services not expressly included are excluded unless agreed to in writing.

We may decline or limit services where conditions are unsafe, inaccessible, impractical, or beyond our standard service capabilities. Services involving electrical, plumbing, structural, pesticide application, or specialized irrigation repair are excluded unless explicitly agreed to in writing and permitted by law.

3. User Obligations and Responsibilities

To help us deliver services safely and effectively, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate property information, contact details, and access instructions;
  • Ensure we have safe and lawful access to the property during scheduled service times;
  • Secure pets, children, vehicles, valuables, and fragile items before service begins;
  • Mark or disclose hidden hazards, including sprinkler heads, wiring, pet waste, debris, underground obstructions, and soft ground;
  • Obtain any necessary permissions from landlords, condominium boards, property managers, tenants, or other stakeholders;
  • Maintain adequate insurance for the property and any personal belongings kept on site;
  • Notify us promptly of concerns, cancellations, changes, or damage claims;
  • Pay all amounts due in accordance with these Terms and any agreed invoice terms.

You acknowledge that outdoor work may involve exposure to uneven terrain, weather conditions, tools, equipment, and plant materials. You are responsible for informing us of any site-specific risks known to you.

If the property is not ready for service, contains undisclosed hazards, or lacks required access, we may reschedule the visit or charge a reasonable service call or cancellation fee where permitted by law.

4. Payment Terms and Conditions

Fees will be set out in our quotation, estimate, invoice, or service agreement. Unless otherwise stated in writing, prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD) and exclude applicable taxes, which will be added as required by law.

  • Invoices: Invoices are due upon receipt unless another payment deadline is stated.
  • Recurring Services: For scheduled maintenance, we may invoice per visit, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or by seasonal package.
  • Late Payments: Overdue amounts may incur interest at the maximum lawful rate, or if no rate is specified, 1.5% per month (18% per year), whichever is lower and lawful.
  • Collections Costs: You are responsible for reasonable costs of collection, chargebacks, and returned payment fees where permitted by law.
  • Payment Methods: We may accept e-transfer, credit card, debit, cheque, or other approved methods. Payment method availability may vary.

Estimates are based on information available at the time of quoting and may change if actual site conditions differ from what was disclosed or reasonably observable. Additional charges may apply for extra labour, materials, disposal, travel outside our standard service area, emergency calls, or customer-requested changes.

We reserve the right to suspend or withhold services for unpaid accounts, subject to applicable law and any prior written agreement.

5. Cancellation and Refund Policy

You may cancel a scheduled service by providing reasonable notice. Unless a different cancellation policy is stated in writing, cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled time may be subject to a cancellation fee or minimum service charge, where permitted by law.

If weather conditions, unsafe site conditions, equipment failure, or circumstances beyond our control prevent us from performing the service, we may reschedule the appointment. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by such conditions.

Refunds, if any, are granted at our reasonable discretion and in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws in Canada and Ontario. Completed services are generally non-refundable unless required by law or unless we determine that a material portion of the agreed service was not delivered due to our fault.

If you believe an invoice or service charge is incorrect, you must notify us in writing within 7 days of the invoice date or service date, whichever is later. Failure to do so may be treated as acceptance of the charge, to the extent permitted by law.

6. Liability Limitations

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Maple Grove Garden Care Ltd. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of use, loss of data, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to the services.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to our services shall be limited to the lesser of: (a) the amount paid by you to Maple Grove Garden Care Ltd. for the specific service giving rise to the claim; or (b) CAD $500, except where a higher limit is required by law.

We are not responsible for:

  • Pre-existing damage, wear and tear, structural defects, hidden conditions, or underground utilities;
  • Damage caused by unsafe, defective, or improperly installed property features;
  • Plant failure due to drought, pests, disease, soil conditions, weather, neglect, or pre-existing root damage;
  • Damage resulting from customer instructions, misinformation, or failure to disclose hazards;
  • Losses arising from third-party actions, vandalism, theft, animals, storms, flooding, or force majeure events.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury where such limitation would be unlawful.

9. Force Majeure

In such circumstances, we may suspend, cancel, or reschedule services without liability, except for any payment obligations accrued for services already performed.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update or modify these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our operations, legal requirements, or service offerings. The updated Terms will be effective when posted, sent to you, or otherwise communicated, unless a later effective date is stated.

Your continued use of our services after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using our services and notify us of any concerns before the next scheduled service.

11. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to them shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law rules.

If any unenforceable provision can be modified to make it enforceable, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Maple Grove Garden Care Ltd. regarding the subject matter herein and supersede prior discussions or understandings, whether oral or written, unless expressly incorporated into a separate written agreement signed by both parties.
