Cardinal Detailing, LLC
AUTO DETAILING SERVICE AGREEMENT
INTRODUCTION
In this Service Agreement “Agreement,” “you” and “your” refer to each
“customer,” including each person (agent) you designate to act on your
behalf. “Cardinal Detailing,” and “we,” “us,” and “our” refer
collectively to Cardinal Detailing, LLC. This Agreement explains our
obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to the service(s)
you purchase. If you designate a person to act on your behalf “Designated
Agent,” you agree that this person is your agent with full authority to act on
your behalf with respect to such services and your vehicle. Please refer
to the accompanying Service Order for specific information regarding the day
and time of your requested detailing services (job) specific to your
vehicle. By using our service you agree to the terms of this agreement,
without modification by you.
FEES, TERMS OF SERVICE, AND PAYMENT TERMS
The fee for our service is the agreed dollar amount, indicated as “Total Cost”
on the service package order. The term of service is for the amount of time
reserved by us to complete the “job” you requested and not for any specific
outcome. The amount of time reserved is an estimate since the condition of each
vehicle varies. It is possible that the job could be less or more than the time
reserved. In the event that your job is completed in less time, the fee will
remain the same and will not be adjusted. For the Full Interior Detail, Full
Exterior Detail, Full Detail and the Ultimate Full Detail Package, if the job
takes longer than the time reserved, we will stay as long as needed to complete
the job at no additional cost, up to a maximum of two (2) hours. Additional
time beyond two (2) hours is charged at the rate of $60 per hour (rounded to
the nearest quarter hour). If a job will take longer than estimated, we
will let you know once we know and about how much additional time it will take.
If you choose not to have additional time then we will do the best job possible
during the remaining time available. All hourly services are billed at
the rate of $60 per hour, rounded to the nearest quarter hour.
If you have extra/special requests please let us know at the time the service package order is written. Any alterations or changes after the initial service package order has been issued may result in an extra charge. Any alterations or charges to the initial service package order must be approved in writing between you and Cardinal Detailing before any extra work begins. Any changes to fees and/or time, be it verbal or in writing, will not affect the substance of this agreement and all the terms herein will still apply with the new rate and/or time.
Payment is due on the date of service. We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express). Please do not leave any payments in the vehicle.
For new corporate clients, payment for the first service is due on the date of the initial service. Thereafter, invoices are issued and due 15 days from date sent to the client. All invoices are issued electronically by email to a contact nominated by the client.
LATE PAYMENTS AND FEES
All fees are due and payable on the date the services are rendered (this is
your due date). Accounts not paid within 30 days of the due date of the invoice
are subject to a 1.5% monthly finance charge. This fee will be
retroactive to the payment due date and reflected on the next invoice. It
will be applied each month until the overdue amount is paid. A fee of $30.00
will be charged for a non-sufficient fund check returned by the bank to us. In
the event an account requires legal or collection action, you agree to pay all
cost of collection without limitations for reasonable attorney fees, interest
on past due amount, court costs, and all collection costs.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUND
You or Cardinal Detailing may cancel a job at any time for any reason. Please
provide at least 24-hours’ notice. You will receive a full refund (100%) of the
amount prepaid if applicable (including any deposit). If Cardinal Detailing
cancels your job you will receive a 100% refund of any prepaid fees if
applicable. Cardinal Detailing is a mobile service and performs its
service out-of-doors. If weather conditions prevent us from doing the job, your
appointment will be cancelled, and neither you nor Cardinal Detailing will not
be held liable in anyway. If and when this occurs, we will reschedule or you
may request a 100% refund of any prepaid fees if applicable. All refunds are
issued in the manner in which the original amount was paid (e.g., if paid by
credit card, the credit card will be credited). If we arrive during the
scheduled day and time and are turned away for ANY reason, OR cannot gain
entrance to your vehicle for ANY reason, then you are still liable to pay the
full amount of the agreed upon fee. In addition, we will wait for not more than
15 minutes from the beginning of a scheduled job, at which time the job becomes
a cancellation by you and you are liable to pay the full amount of the agreed
upon fee.
DETERMINING THE COST OF YOUR AUTO DETAILING
Cardinal Detailing must conduct a consultation with you and see the vehicle
before we can provide you the total cost and estimate the time before we will
accept a job. We reserve the right to adjust any over-the-phone cost or time
estimate after we have visually inspected your vehicle. A written estimate is
good for 10 days. An estimate is not binding beyond 10 days of the date of the
estimate OR if the vehicle condition changes between the time the vehicle was
inspected and the scheduled appointment.
QUALITY OF SERVICE
We want you to be satisfied with our service. For your convenience, and our
quality control, we may provide you with a checklist indicating the various
services we provided while cleaning and/or detailing your vehicle. Cardinal
Detailing services help to recondition and restore your vehicle. No services
offered are guaranteed to completely restore the vehicle to any previous or new
condition. We will try our absolute best to restore the vehicle to the best
condition possible and within the constraints of our resources, time, and
expertise. We will conduct a final inspection together, with you, at the end of
the job. If, after the final inspection, you find our service unsatisfactory,
please contact us within 24 hours so we can address your concern. Cardinal
Detailing will not be held liable for any concerns after 24 hours of job
completion or if you did not complete the final inspection with us.
INSURANCE, ACCIDENTS, PREEXISTING CONDITION AND DAMAGE
Cardinal Detailing is fully insured. We are fully insured to operate wherever
you may need service. Our insurance covers every customer and vehicle.
Notwithstanding negligence, Cardinal Detailing cannot be held responsible for
damage to the vehicle while in our care. We are as careful as possible and if
something does get damaged while detailing your vehicle, we will advise you of
the incident. We will check the condition of your vehicle for any existing
damage during the pre-inspection at the time we prepare for the estimate.
Additional pre-existing damage may be noted as the vehicle is cleaned or
detailed. We will take pictures of your vehicle immediately before we begin the
job. You agree not to hold Cardinal Detailing liable for pre-existing damage.
PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE
Prior to our arrival, please remove all items from the vehicle. Please
empty out the glove compartment and any storage compartments. Please
remove all cash, jewelry, and other valuables. If for any reason you do
not want a particular area of your vehicle to be cleaned or detailed, please
let us know before we begin a job. We will package any personal items we
find while servicing your vehicle into plastic bags and remove them from the
vehicle. We will return the items to your vehicle once we’re
finished. You agree to not hold us responsible for damage or
loss to any item left inside or outside the vehicle.
WHAT WE WILL NOT DO

Reinstall any child safety seat.
