2. Service: Company will provide pest control service for twelve months or longer as specified under the terms and conditions of this agreement.

Customer agrees to pay the normal charge for this outside service. Company will service the inside of the house at no additional charge if requested by Customer prior to the appointment. In some cases a trip charge may be incurred. In the first 30 days, Customer is not guaranteed a free re-service. Typically, Customer needs to allow the first service time to take affect and treating  before the 30 day return is not necessary to get a quick result.
   
3.

7. MANDATORY ARBITRATION: Company and Customer agree that any claim, dispute or controversy (“Claim”) between them or against the other or the employees, agents or assigns of the other, and any Claim arising from or relating to this agreement or the relationships which result from this agreement, including but not limited to any tort or statutory Claim, shall be resolved by neutral binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), under the rules of AAA in effect at the time the Claim is filed (“AAA rules”).

Each party shall be responsible for paying its own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses; the arbitration fees and arbitrator compensation shall be payable as provided in the AAA Rules. However, for a Claim of $15,000 or less brought by Customer in his/her/its individual capacity, if Customer so requests in writing, Company will pay Customer’s arbitration fees and arbitrator compensation due to the AAA for such Claim to the extent they exceed any filing fees that the Customer would pay to a court with jurisdiction over the Claim. The arbitrator’s power to conduct any arbitration proceeding under this arbitration agreement shall be limited as follows; any arbitration proceeding under this agreement will not be consolidated or joined with any arbitration proceeding under any other agreement, or involving any other property or premises, and will not proceed as a class action or private attorney general action. The foregoing prohibition on consolidated, class action and private attorney general arbitrations is an essential and integral part of this arbitration clause and is not severable from the remainder of the clause. The decision of the arbitrator shall be a final and binding resolution of the Claim. This arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Neither party shall sue the other party with respect to any matter in dispute between the parties other than for enforcement of this arbitration agreement or of the arbitrator’s award. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO LITIGATE DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT AND TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE, BUT THEY CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY DISPUTES DECIDED THROUGH ARBITRATION.

At your request, Company will provide information about the chemicals to be used in treating the premises.
   
9. Automatic Payments: With Company’s Automatic Check and Automatic Card Options, following Customer’s Initial Service or Regular Services the Customer’s credit card, checking account, or bank check card (displaying the Visa or MasterCard logo) will be automatically charged. If Customer has selected a monthly automatic option, after the Customer has paid for the first 2 services, the Regular Service Charge will be divided into monthly amounts and the prorated amount will be billed on the first day of each month, starting the month after the second treatment. In the Payment section of this Agreement, if either the Automatic Check Option or the Automatic Card Option has been selected, Customer authorizes Company to initiate debit entries against Customer’s credit card, checking account or bank check card account listed herein for the regularly scheduled services performed as listed in this Agreement and according to the terms and conditions of this agreement. Customer authorizes the credit card, the checking account or the bank check card company to accept any debit entries initiated by Company to be debited from the Customer’s account. Further, Customer authorizes the credit card, the checking account or the bank check card company listed in this Agreement to tender payment to COMPANY for services rendered, when it is charged, and to post the payment to Customer’s account. Customer has the right to cancel this automatic payment authorization by submitting to Company written notice 30 days in advance of the intended termination of this authorization. This authorization will remain in effect until Company has received that written notification of termination. It is the Customer’s responsibility to copy or notify the credit card, the checking account or bank check card company if this authorization is cancelled. Cancellation of the automatic payment authorization does not cancel this Pest Control Service Agreement or the Customer’s responsibilities their under.
   
10. Assignment: This Agreement may not be assigned in whole or in part by Customer. Customer agrees that Company may assign or subcontract all or any portion of this Agreement, as well as the Automatic Payment Agreement in Section 9 of this Agreement, without notice to Customer and any such assignee or subcontractor shall be entitled to the rights, benefits, privileges and protection afforded to Company under the terms of this Agreement.
11. Trip Charges: Customer will be charged a fee of $25 to reschedule if gate is locked on day of service or backyard is not made available, or if preset appointment is missed, or if a request is made to come back after we attempted to service the home. This fee is to cover our cost associated with returning and treating when the Customer was not ready upon arrival of the original scheduled time. This fee will be added to the rescheduled appointment.
12. Skipping Service: Some Customers request to skip a service from time to time. While we do our best to accommodate this request, we try to stick to the agreed upon service schedule in order to guarantee our work and keep the home from re-infestation. If you request to skip a service, we will allow one service to be pushed forward by up to 60 days. In that period of time, you will not have an active warranty but you may request us sooner if needed. If you deny service to resume after the 60 day grace period, we will close the account and all cancellation fee's, if applicable, will apply. In order to start service again, you will be required to sign a new contract.
