• Terms of Use

    UPDATED: 5/15/2022

     

    1. Applicability.

     

    (a) These terms and conditions for use of service (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the services (“Services”) provided by Four Analytics, Inc (‘Four Analytics”) and Cleanable, LLC (“Cleanable” and collectively, “We”, “Ours”, “Us”, “Our”) to you, the client (“You,” “Your,” or “Client”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the Services described herein, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.

     

    (b) These Terms, together with any Quote or Invoice issued by Us in connection with the Services (collectively, the “Agreement”), comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Your general terms and conditions regardless of whether or when You have submitted Your purchase order or such terms. Performance of the Services does not constitute acceptance of any of Your terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms. Indeed, to the extent Client’s terms conflict with these Terms, Client’s terms are specifically rejected.

     

    (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cleanable may, from time to time change the Services without Your consent provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Invoice.

     

    (d) Cleanable may modify the Terms at any time. A current version of the Terms shall be posted to our website at https://www.fouranalytics.com/client-terms and shall be effective upon posting and shall automatically be incorporated into any applicable Quote or Invoice. Please review the terms each time You request Services, as Your solicitation of Services will constitute acceptance of, and agreement to, the then-existing Terms. You waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes.

     

    2. Performance of Services.

     

    (a) You understand that Cleanable will use third parties to perform the Services (the “Service Providers”). Any reference to “Cleanable” in these Terms includes Cleanable’s, parent company, affiliates, and any Service Providers, as applicable.

     

    (b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Cleanable will provide the Services requested (the “Project”) for the location specified in a Quote (the “Project Site”). The Project may contain one or more requests for Services and each individual request is considered a separate assignment (“Assignment”). Assignments may consist of one or more definitive tasks, goals, or milestones (“Work”). The Work may require the Service Provider to visit the Project Site one or more times (“Trips”), as determined by Cleanable and based on the scope provided in Your request for Services.

     

    (c) Cleanable shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates and times to render the Services specified in the Quote, and any such dates and times shall be estimates only.

     

    (d) With respect to the Services, You shall (i) cooperate with Cleanable in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to the Project Site, and such office accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by Cleanable, for the purposes of performing the Services; (ii) respond promptly to any Cleanable request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Cleanable to perform the Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; and (iii) provide such customer materials or information required to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects. Failure to strictly comply with the terms of this Section may result in a change in Price for the Services or Work.

     

    (e) Service Providers may be required to conduct a preliminary inspection prior to performing the Services. If necessary, more than one Service Provider will perform a preliminary inspection. You agree that during the preliminary inspection, You will not solicit, engage, recruit, refer, or otherwise attempt to hire, the Service Provider. You will not attempt to discover the Service Provider’s quote or anything related to the Services.

     

    (f) Client agrees to allow Cleanable to take before-and-after photographs of the site and that Client may use such photographs in its marketing and advertising. All media, photos, video, and documents created during the course of Service Provider’s work are exclusive the property of Cleanable.

     

    (g) Client agrees that Cleanable may publish Client’s name and the location of the Services.

     

    (h) Client agrees that it will never pay or attempt to pay the Service Provider for the Services.

     

    (i) Client will provide sufficient notice if conditions unique to the Project Site require specialized safety equipment, PPE, or clothing required for the Service Provider to perform the Services.

     

    3. Client’s Acts or Omissions.

     

    (a) If Cleanable’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Client or its agents, subcontractors, consultants, or employees, Cleanable 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 Client, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.

     

    (b) Client is not permitted to solicit, engage, recruit, refer, or otherwise attempt to hire the Service Providers. All communications with the Service Providers must be made through or include Cleanable unless such communication relates directly to the safety of the Service Provider or the Service Provider’s completion of the Work. If You have concerns or questions about the Service Provider’s Work, You must immediately communicate such concerns or questions to Cleanable. Concerns or questions reported after the completion of the Work will not be acknowledged by Cleanable.

     

    (c) Each Assignment will have its own Quote, which will outline the respective Work, including but not limited to the Price, Project Site, and other information pertinent to the scope of the Services. After You approve the Quote in writing and schedule a time for the Work to commence (either orally or in writing), You agree to communicate all possible events or circumstances that may hinder or prevent the Service Provider from completing the Work. If You need to cancel the Work, You will provide at least three days advance notice. All cancellations within three days of the commencement of the Work are subject to a reasonable cancelation fee, at Cleanable’s sole discretion. Work scheduled with less than three business days advance notice will be subject to a Cancelation Fee equal to the Full Contract Price. Rescheduled Services within the three-day window will be treated the same as a cancelation. You will be permitted to reschedule the Work a maximum of three (3) times. Additional changes to the schedule are at the sole discretion of Cleanable, must be agreed to in writing, and may be deemed a cancellation.

     

    (d) You must provide accurate information about the scope of Services requested. If You provide inaccurate information in connection with Your request for Services, any pricing in Cleanable’s Quote or Invoices are subject to change.

     

    (e) Any changes to the Work must be in writing and must be approved by Your authorized representative. By requesting such changes, You agree that such change to the Work is authorized. Cleanable will not perform any changes to the Services unless such changes are in writing.

     

    4. Inspection and Rejection of Services.

     

    (a) You shall conduct a walkthrough with the Service Provider to inspect the Services as soon as the Work is complete. You will be deemed to have accepted the Services unless You notify Cleanable in writing of any unsatisfactory Services within 48 hours and furnish such written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required by Cleanable. “Unsatisfactory Services” means Services or Work that is incomplete.

     

    (b) If Client timely notifies Cleanable of any Unsatisfactory Services, Cleanable shall, in its sole discretion, (i) correct at its cost the Unsatisfactory Services by reperforming the Services, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such Unsatisfactory Services. Any Services performed to correct the Unsatisfactory Services shall be subject to these Terms.

     

    (c) Client acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 4(b) are Client’s exclusive remedies for Unsatisfactory Services.

     

    (d) If You fail to conduct the walkthrough with the Service Provider, You will be deemed to have waived and entitlement to the remedies set forth in this Section.

    by Client. Client shall be responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes; provided, that, Client shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Cleanable’s income, revenues, gross receipts, personal or real property, or other assets.

    (d) It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be concluded within ninety (90) days from the date the arbitrator is appointed.
