SILVERLINEPROS TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective Date: August 19, 2026 Last Updated: August 19, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern cleaning and related services provided by Silverline Home Services LLC, doing business as SilverlinePros ("SilverlinePros," "Silverline," "we," "us," or "our").

By booking, purchasing, authorizing, or receiving services from SilverlinePros, you ("Client," "Customer," or "you") agree to these Terms.

Customer Service: (845) 208-5741 Website: SilverlinePros.com Primary Service Area: New York and New Jersey


1. ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS

A booking is not considered fully confirmed until:

  • the required booking information has been provided;
  • a valid payment card is placed on file;
  • the required scheduling deposit has been successfully processed; and
  • the person booking has accepted these Terms through SilverlinePros' booking process.

Customers booking through the SilverlinePros website must affirmatively check the box confirming that they have read and agree to these Terms before completing the booking.

If a booking is initiated by telephone, sales representative, or another method, Silverline may require the Client to complete the electronic booking and acceptance process before the appointment is considered confirmed.

By accepting these Terms, you represent that:

  • you are at least 18 years old;
  • you have authority to authorize cleaning at the property;
  • you have authority to use the payment method provided;
  • all information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge; and
  • if you are booking on behalf of a business, property owner, tenant, family member, guest, landlord, property manager, or other third party, you have authority to bind the responsible party to the booking.

Silverline is not responsible for disputes between property owners, tenants, landlords, occupants, guests, property managers, or other third parties regarding whether cleaning was authorized.


2. SERVICES WE PROVIDE

Silverline provides residential and commercial cleaning services, including:

  • Maintenance / standard cleaning
  • Deep cleaning
  • Move-in cleaning
  • Move-out cleaning
  • Post-construction cleaning when specifically booked
  • Recurring cleaning
  • Organizing and other approved add-ons
  • Other cleaning-related services specifically agreed to by Silverline

The exact work performed depends on the service selected, the condition of the property, accessibility, safety, and any approved add-ons.

Standard / Maintenance Cleaning

A typical maintenance cleaning may include:

  • Dusting accessible surfaces
  • Kitchen surface cleaning
  • Countertops and sinks
  • Exterior appliance surfaces
  • Bathroom toilets, sinks, mirrors, tubs and showers
  • Vacuuming
  • Mopping
  • General floor cleaning
  • Normal household trash removal
  • Bed making when reasonably accessible
  • General tidying
  • Accessible interior window glass
  • Other routine cleaning tasks normally included in the selected service

Maintenance cleaning is intended for properties receiving routine upkeep. It is not intended to correct months or years of heavy buildup, excessive grime, severe neglect, construction dust, hoarding, or hazardous conditions.

Deep Cleaning

Deep cleaning includes more detailed cleaning and buildup removal than routine maintenance cleaning.

Unless otherwise stated during booking, Silverline's deep-cleaning service includes cleaning the interior of the oven and refrigerator, provided they can be cleaned safely and without moving the appliance.

Deep cleaning does not constitute restoration, remediation, repair, refinishing, pest treatment, mold remediation, or construction cleanup.

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

Move-in and move-out services are intended for vacant or substantially empty properties unless Silverline is advised otherwise.

Furniture, belongings, construction materials, trash, or other obstacles may affect the scope and price.

Post-Construction Cleaning

Post-construction cleaning must be specifically disclosed and booked as such.

A standard or deep cleaning booking does not automatically include:

  • heavy drywall dust;
  • construction debris;
  • paint overspray;
  • adhesive removal;
  • cement or grout residue;
  • nails, screws, glass, metal fragments, or other construction hazards;
  • heavy scraping;
  • hazardous construction materials; or
  • specialized restoration.

Additional equipment, personnel, time, or visits may be required.

Construction dust may continue settling after cleaning. Silverline does not guarantee that a property will remain dust-free if construction, sanding, drilling, HVAC activity, contractor work, or other dust-producing activity continues.


3. WINDOWS

Accessible interior window cleaning is included with our cleaning services.

For purposes of these Terms, standard window cleaning means reasonably accessible interior-facing glass and accessible surrounding areas.

Unless specifically agreed otherwise, window cleaning does not include:

  • exterior window cleaning;
  • roof access;
  • windows requiring equipment beyond our approved ladder height;
  • disassembly of windows;
  • removal and reinstallation of difficult screens;
  • restoration of scratched, etched, stained, oxidized, or damaged glass;
  • hard-water restoration;
  • paint, cement, adhesive, silicone, or construction-material removal requiring specialized treatment.

Silverline does not guarantee removal of permanent mineral deposits, scratches, etching, failed window seals, fogging between panes, or other conditions that are not ordinary dirt.


4. ORGANIZING AND DECLUTTERING

Normal light tidying may be included as part of cleaning.

Heavy organizing, sorting, or decluttering is an additional service.

When organizing is requested or approved:

  • the first 30 minutes is $45;
  • each additional 30-minute increment is an additional $45; and
  • additional time is subject to staff availability.

Where reasonably possible, Silverline will obtain approval before substantially extending organizing time beyond what was originally requested.

Silverline employees will not make significant decisions about disposing of personal property without Client direction.

Clients should clearly identify anything intended for disposal.


5. CLEANING SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT

Silverline normally provides the cleaning supplies and equipment reasonably necessary to perform the booked service, including appropriate cleaning products, cloths, vacuum equipment, floor-cleaning equipment, gloves, and other standard supplies.

Clients are not normally required to provide cleaning products.

If you request that Silverline use a specific product, chemical, tool, or cleaning method:

  • you must tell us before or at the beginning of the service;
  • you are responsible for accurately identifying the surface or material involved;
  • Silverline may refuse to use a requested product or method that our team believes could be unsafe or damaging; and
  • to the extent permitted by law, Silverline is not responsible for damage caused by the inherent characteristics or incompatibility of a Client-supplied product when used as directed by the Client.

Clients must disclose known chemical sensitivities, allergies, respiratory sensitivities, special surface requirements, or product restrictions before service.

No cleaning product can be guaranteed to be completely allergen-free or reaction-free.


6. ACCURACY OF BOOKING INFORMATION

Our pricing, staffing, equipment, and scheduling decisions depend heavily on the information provided when the service is booked.

You must accurately disclose information including, when applicable:

  • approximate property size;
  • number of bedrooms and bathrooms;
  • property type;
  • current condition;
  • level of buildup;
  • recent construction or renovation;
  • excessive clutter;
  • heavy grease;
  • excessive pet hair;
  • pet odors or waste;
  • hoarding conditions;
  • unusual stains;
  • hazardous conditions;
  • pest infestations;
  • number and type of pets;
  • accessibility issues;
  • special surfaces;
  • and anything else that would reasonably affect the cleaning.

Photos may be requested before certain jobs.

Materially Different Property Condition

If our team arrives and determines that the property was materially understated, incorrectly described, or booked under the wrong service category, Silverline may stop before beginning work and reassess the job.

If we have the equipment, staffing, and time necessary to complete the actual job, we may:

  1. explain the difference in condition;
  2. provide an updated price or scope;
  3. obtain your approval; and
  4. begin cleaning immediately.

We will not intentionally begin materially expanded work without approval of the revised price.

Approval may be provided electronically, in writing, by recorded business communication where lawful, or verbally and documented by Silverline.

If we do not have the necessary equipment, personnel, or time available, we may reschedule the cleaning for another date using the updated scope and price.

If a Client materially misrepresented the condition of the property and then refuses the appropriately revised scope or price after our team has arrived, Silverline may treat the appointment as a Client-caused late cancellation and apply the applicable cancellation fee.


7. PRICING

Silverline generally uses flat-rate pricing rather than hourly billing.

You are purchasing completion of the agreed cleaning scope, not a guaranteed number of labor hours.

The following do not by themselves change the agreed flat-rate price:

  • the number of cleaners assigned;
  • how quickly an experienced team completes the work;
  • how Silverline divides the work among its team;
  • the order in which tasks are completed; or
  • whether a particular task requires more or less time than expected.

Silverline determines appropriate crew size, equipment, scheduling, and workflow.

Estimates and Quotes

Prices provided during an initial conversation may sometimes begin with the cleaning-service subtotal.

Before a booking is finalized, Silverline will disclose the required charges applicable to that booking in the manner required by law.

The online booking process displays the applicable booking breakdown before final confirmation.

If a quote is clearly identified as an estimate, preliminary quote, starting price, or service subtotal, it may be adjusted before acceptance when information affecting the job changes.

Silverline will not knowingly rely on an obvious typographical or mathematical pricing error. If a genuine pricing error is discovered before the service begins, Silverline may correct it and allow the Client to accept the corrected price or cancel without a late-cancellation penalty.


8. TAXES AND SERVICE FEES

Applicable sales tax is charged when required by law.

If you are legally exempt from applicable sales tax, you are responsible for providing a valid exemption certificate or other required documentation before the charge is processed.

If proper exemption documentation is not provided, Silverline may collect the applicable tax.

A booking may also include a disclosed service fee.

Any mandatory service fee will be identified before the booking is finalized as required by applicable law.

A service fee is not a gratuity or tip for the cleaner.

Applicable government taxes and other legally required charges may be shown separately.


9. $30 SCHEDULING DEPOSIT

A $30 scheduling deposit is required to reserve an appointment unless Silverline expressly waives it.

The deposit:

  • secures the appointment;
  • is credited toward the final amount due for the cleaning; and
  • is deducted from the final service charge.

Unless otherwise specifically disclosed at booking, if the Client cancels outside the applicable late-cancellation period, the scheduling deposit may be refunded to the original payment method or applied as a future service credit.

If a cancellation fee applies, the deposit may be applied toward that fee.

If Silverline cancels an appointment and the Client does not accept a reasonable rescheduling option, any unapplied deposit will be returned.


10. CARD-ON-FILE REQUIREMENT

A valid payment card is required for service.

By providing a payment card, you authorize Silverline and its payment processor to maintain the card information securely and charge it for amounts properly due under your booking and these Terms, including:

  • the $30 scheduling deposit;
  • the remaining cleaning balance;
  • approved add-ons;
  • approved scope or price adjustments;
  • applicable taxes;
  • disclosed mandatory service fees;
  • applicable late-cancellation fees;
  • recurring cleaning charges;
  • recurring-plan repricing adjustments described below; and
  • other amounts you expressly authorize.

Silverline may use a third-party payment processor and may not directly receive or retain the complete payment-card information.

Silverline may verify the validity of the payment method or use a temporary authorization where appropriate.


11. WHEN PAYMENT IS CHARGED

The remaining balance is generally charged on the day of the cleaning while the cleaning team is still at the property.

The $30 scheduling deposit is deducted from the amount owed.

The remaining charge may include:

  • cleaning price;
  • approved add-ons;
  • approved price adjustments;
  • applicable sales tax; and
  • disclosed service fees.

The Client does not need to be physically present for the payment to be processed.


12. FAILED OR DECLINED PAYMENTS

If the payment card is declined while the cleaning is in progress, Silverline may attempt to contact the Client and request an updated payment method.

If payment cannot be resolved promptly:

  • the cleaning team may be instructed to stop work;
  • Silverline is not required to continue providing service without a valid payment method;
  • the Client remains responsible for services already performed and other properly applicable charges; and
  • Silverline may terminate the appointment.

The Client is responsible for promptly providing a valid replacement payment method.

If a valid balance remains unpaid after notice, Silverline may:

  • retry an authorized payment method;
  • suspend future services;
  • cancel recurring service;
  • issue invoices or payment demands;
  • refer the balance to a lawful collection agency; and
  • pursue other lawful collection remedies.

If a balance remains unpaid for more than seven calendar days after notice, Silverline may assess a one-time late/administrative fee equal to the lesser of $25 or 5% of the unpaid service balance, but only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The Client may also be responsible for reasonable collection or legal costs where expressly permitted by law or awarded by a court or arbitrator.


13. PAYMENT DISPUTES AND CHARGEBACKS

If you believe a charge is incorrect, we strongly encourage you to contact Silverline at (845) 208-5741 before initiating a chargeback so we have an opportunity to investigate.

Nothing in these Terms removes any lawful rights you may have with your financial institution.

However, filing a chargeback does not automatically eliminate a valid debt.

If a charge is disputed, you authorize Silverline to provide relevant evidence to the payment processor, card network, financial institution, insurer, collection provider, arbitrator, court, or other appropriate party. Evidence may include:

  • booking records;
  • accepted Terms;
  • transaction records;
  • invoices;
  • messages;
  • call records where lawfully maintained;
  • appointment records;
  • access records;
  • photographs;
  • cleaning checklists;
  • service timestamps; and
  • other documentation relating to the transaction.

Knowingly making a false claim regarding a valid authorized charge does not release the Client from responsibility for amounts lawfully owed.


14. ONE-TIME CLEANING CANCELLATIONS

One-time cleaning appointments require at least 24 hours' notice to avoid a late-cancellation charge.

If you cancel fewer than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment, Silverline may charge 50% of the scheduled cleaning price.

This applies even when cancellation occurs on the same day as the appointment.

Silverline does not charge 100% of the scheduled cleaning price solely because a one-time appointment was canceled late.

The scheduling deposit will be credited against any cancellation amount owed.


15. ONE-TIME CLEANING RESCHEDULING

Requests to reschedule a one-time cleaning should be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment.

A rescheduling request received inside the 24-hour period may be treated as a late cancellation and may be subject to the 50% cancellation charge.

Silverline may waive or reduce a fee in exceptional circumstances at its discretion, but doing so once does not waive the policy for future appointments.


16. RECURRING SERVICE

Recurring cleaning may include weekly, biweekly, monthly, or another agreed frequency.

A recurring service continues until canceled by the Client or Silverline.

Recurring service is not a guarantee that a specific cleaner, team, day, time, or price will remain permanently unchanged.

Before recurring service begins, the Client will be provided the material recurring-service information required for the enrollment.

Where required by law, Silverline will provide an electronic confirmation that can be retained by the Client.

Canceling the Recurring Plan

A Client may cancel the recurring service.

To avoid charges related to the next scheduled visit, Silverline requires at least 7 days' notice before that visit.

If recurring service is canceled with less than 7 days' notice before the next appointment, Silverline may charge up to 50% of the affected scheduled visit.

Silverline will provide a reasonable method to cancel recurring service and will comply with any additional cancellation rights required by applicable law.

Rescheduling a Recurring Visit

Individual recurring appointments require at least 3 days' notice to reschedule without a late-rescheduling charge.

A rescheduling request made fewer than 3 days before the appointment may result in a charge of up to 50% of that scheduled visit.

Repeated Skips or Schedule Changes

Recurring pricing is based in part on the expected frequency of cleaning.

If a Client repeatedly:

  • skips visits;
  • substantially delays visits;
  • changes frequencies;
  • prevents scheduled visits from occurring; or
  • allows the condition of the property to become substantially heavier than a normal recurring maintenance cleaning,

Silverline may:

  • adjust the next cleaning price;
  • require a deep cleaning before maintenance service resumes;
  • change the recurring rate;
  • move the Client to a different service frequency; or
  • discontinue recurring service.

Any required price adjustment will be disclosed before the affected service as required by law.


17. RECURRING PLAN DISCOUNT AND FIRST-VISIT ADJUSTMENT

Recurring-service pricing may be lower than Silverline's normal one-time cleaning price because the price assumes an ongoing service relationship.

If a Client books a recurring plan, receives the discounted recurring price for the first visit, and then ends the recurring arrangement before a second qualifying recurring cleaning is completed, Silverline may reprice the first cleaning at the standard one-time cleaning price that applied to the property.

The Client authorizes the difference between:

the discounted recurring amount already paid

and

the applicable one-time cleaning price

to be charged to the payment method on file.

This adjustment may also apply when the second visit does not occur because the Client:

  • cancels the recurring plan;
  • refuses the second scheduled service;
  • repeatedly postpones the second service;
  • prevents access; or
  • otherwise prevents continuation of the recurring arrangement.

This adjustment does not apply when Silverline itself permanently discontinues the recurring service after the first cleaning for reasons unrelated to the Client's conduct.

After two qualifying consecutive recurring cleanings have been completed, the first-visit repricing provision no longer applies.


18. RECURRING PRICE CHANGES

Silverline reserves the right to change recurring-service pricing.

Examples of reasons include:

  • changes in labor costs;
  • supply costs;
  • fuel or operating expenses;
  • changes in property condition;
  • service-frequency changes;
  • changes in requested scope;
  • market pricing;
  • inflation;
  • taxes;
  • regulatory expenses; or
  • other reasonable business circumstances.

Silverline generally provides advance notice before a new recurring rate becomes effective.

Where applicable law requires a specific notice period, cancellation opportunity, or affirmative acceptance of a price increase, Silverline will follow those requirements.

If affirmative consent is legally required before charging a new recurring rate, Silverline may require the Client to accept the new rate before the next cleaning.

If the Client does not accept a required new rate, Silverline may discontinue recurring service rather than perform the service at the previous price.


19. ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY

The Client must provide safe, lawful, and timely access to the property.

Acceptable arrangements may include:

  • Client or authorized adult present;
  • door code;
  • smart-lock access;
  • lockbox;
  • concierge or front-desk access;
  • building management access; or
  • another pre-approved method.

Silverline generally avoids taking possession of physical house keys for ongoing storage.

Any exception involving physical keys must be specifically approved.

The Client is responsible for ensuring that:

  • codes are correct;
  • locks function;
  • alarm information is accurate;
  • gates are accessible;
  • management has approved entry;
  • required access permissions are in place; and
  • our team can enter at the scheduled time.

20. FAILURE TO PROVIDE ACCESS

If our team cannot enter the property within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival because of a Client-controlled access problem, Silverline may leave.

Examples include:

  • incorrect access code;
  • no answer at the property;
  • locked doors;
  • inaccessible lockbox;
  • building staff refusing entry;
  • missing authorization;
  • alarm restrictions; or
  • another Client-caused access failure.

Such a visit may be treated as a same-day Client-caused cancellation and may be subject to the 50% cancellation fee.

Waiting longer than 15 minutes on one occasion is a courtesy and does not create an obligation to do so in the future.


21. PARKING

The Client is responsible for ensuring that reasonably accessible and lawful parking is available for the cleaning team.

If the property requires:

  • visitor authorization;
  • parking permits;
  • gate access;
  • parking instructions;
  • reserved-space approval; or
  • building registration,

the Client must arrange it before the appointment.

Silverline is not required to park illegally or risk a citation, towing, unsafe loading conditions, or unreasonable equipment transport.

If reasonable access to parking is unavailable and prevents service, the appointment may be delayed, shortened where appropriate, or rescheduled.

Normal roadway tolls incurred by Silverline are not charged to the Client.


22. ARRIVAL TIMES

Silverline schedules appointments for a target start time.

Our crews may be internally scheduled to arrive approximately five minutes before the cleaning begins, but an exact arrival time cannot be guaranteed.

Reasonable delays may occur because of:

  • traffic;
  • road closures;
  • weather;
  • emergencies;
  • vehicle problems;
  • staffing issues;
  • unusually difficult prior jobs;
  • delays caused by another Client;
  • building access problems; or
  • other circumstances outside reasonable control.

A reasonable arrival delay does not automatically entitle the Client to a discount, cancellation fee waiver, or refund.

If a delay becomes substantial, Silverline will make reasonable efforts to communicate with the Client and may offer rescheduling when appropriate.


23. CLEANER AND TEAM ASSIGNMENTS

Silverline does not guarantee a specific cleaner or cleaning team.

We may substitute, add, remove, or reassign team members based on:

  • availability;
  • scheduling;
  • illness;
  • staffing;
  • transportation;
  • property needs;
  • performance;
  • safety;
  • workload; or
  • other operational needs.

Requests for a particular cleaner will be considered when possible but are not guaranteed.

A change in cleaner or crew is not, by itself, grounds for a refund or penalty-free last-minute cancellation.


24. PROPERTY UTILITIES

The property must have the utilities reasonably necessary to perform cleaning safely, including:

  • running water;
  • functioning plumbing;
  • electricity;
  • reasonable lighting;
  • safe indoor temperature; and
  • reasonable heating or cooling when conditions require it.

If necessary utilities are unavailable, Silverline may suspend or stop service.

If the condition was not disclosed before arrival and prevents cleaning, the visit may be treated as a Client-caused late cancellation.


25. PETS

All pets must be disclosed before the appointment.

If booking online, pets should be disclosed in the booking notes or other designated section.

Clients should identify the type and approximate number of animals at the property.

This information matters because some Silverline team members may have pet allergies, sensitivities, fears, or other legitimate limitations.

Failure to disclose a pet may result in:

  • reassignment of the cleaner;
  • service delay;
  • rescheduling; or
  • inability to complete the service.

Silverline may require pets to be securely contained during cleaning.

Animals that are aggressive, highly reactive, repeatedly interfere with the cleaning, or create a safety concern must be secured.

Silverline is not responsible for an escaped pet to the extent the escape results from the Client's failure to properly secure the animal, provide accurate instructions, or disclose the pet.

The Client should tell us about doors, gates, invisible fences, cages, or other pet-related access instructions.

Excessive pet hair, urine, feces, odor, or other animal-related conditions beyond normal household cleaning may require additional service, specialized treatment, or an updated quote.


26. CHILDREN AND PERSONS REQUIRING SUPERVISION

Silverline provides cleaning services.

Our team members are not babysitters, caregivers, nurses, home-health aides, security personnel, or supervision providers.

The Client is responsible for supervising:

  • children;
  • elderly individuals requiring care;
  • persons with disabilities requiring assistance;
  • pets; and
  • any other person who requires supervision.

Clients and occupants should stay clear of active cleaning areas, wet floors, cords, equipment, chemicals, and other temporary cleaning hazards.


27. UNSAFE, HAZARDOUS, OR UNSANITARY CONDITIONS

Silverline may refuse to begin or may immediately stop work when our team reasonably believes a condition presents a health, safety, legal, or property risk.

Examples include:

  • blood or significant bodily fluids;
  • feces outside ordinary toilet-cleaning conditions;
  • vomit;
  • excessive urine contamination;
  • medical waste;
  • needles or sharps;
  • drug paraphernalia;
  • suspected hazardous chemicals;
  • unknown chemical spills;
  • widespread or suspected hazardous mold;
  • asbestos or suspected asbestos disturbance;
  • lead-related construction dust;
  • exposed electrical hazards;
  • active gas leaks;
  • unstable flooring or structures;
  • broken glass hazards;
  • dangerous construction debris;
  • uncontrolled weapons;
  • illegal drugs or illegal activity;
  • active bedbugs;
  • severe roach infestation;
  • severe rodent infestation;
  • fleas or other serious pest infestation;
  • extreme hoarding;
  • blocked emergency exits;
  • unsafe temperatures;
  • threatening occupants;
  • violent or aggressive animals;
  • or any other condition our team reasonably considers unsafe.

Silverline is not a biohazard-remediation, hazardous-material-remediation, mold-remediation, pest-control, or crime-scene-cleaning company unless a specific service is separately offered and agreed to in writing.

Failure to disclose a known hazardous condition may result in cancellation of service and an applicable cancellation charge.


28. COMMUNICABLE ILLNESS AND INFESTATIONS

Clients should notify Silverline before service if a property contains:

  • a known significant contagious illness;
  • bedbugs;
  • fleas;
  • lice;
  • severe pest activity; or
  • another condition reasonably capable of exposing our staff or spreading to other Client properties.

Silverline may reschedule or refuse service until the condition has been appropriately addressed.


29. CUSTOMER CONDUCT AND ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY

Silverline is committed to a safe workplace for its employees and service personnel.

Harassment or abusive conduct toward our team is prohibited.

This includes:

  • threats;
  • intimidation;
  • aggressive confrontation;
  • unwanted touching;
  • sexual comments or conduct;
  • discriminatory harassment;
  • repeated shouting or abusive language;
  • threats involving weapons;
  • blocking a worker from leaving;
  • or other behavior that reasonably makes a worker feel unsafe.

A team member may leave the property immediately if they reasonably believe their safety is at risk.

Silverline may permanently terminate the Client relationship.

The Client remains responsible for work already performed and any other properly applicable charges.


30. CAMERAS AND RECORDING DEVICES

Clients may use lawful security systems in their homes or businesses.

However, the Client is solely responsible for complying with all applicable recording, privacy, wiretapping, and surveillance laws.

Recording devices must not be used unlawfully or in locations where a person would reasonably expect complete privacy.

Silverline may refuse service if it discovers a recording arrangement that appears illegal, invasive, or unsafe.

No camera or recording device may be placed in a bathroom or other area in a manner that unlawfully records team members in circumstances where privacy would reasonably be expected.


31. HEIGHT AND LADDER LIMITS

Silverline may use small step stools or, when appropriate and available, a step ladder up to approximately 6 feet.

Use of any ladder remains entirely subject to the cleaner's judgment regarding safety and working conditions.

Silverline does not require employees to clean areas that cannot be reached safely using our normal equipment.

We do not perform work requiring:

  • extension ladders;
  • roof access;
  • climbing on counters;
  • climbing on furniture;
  • unsafe balancing;
  • scaffolding; or
  • other unsafe access methods.

Areas above our safe working reach may be excluded without being considered a service failure.


32. MOVING FURNITURE AND APPLIANCES

Silverline does not move major heavy appliances for cleaning due to property-damage and personal-injury risks.

This includes items such as:

  • refrigerators;
  • stoves;
  • washers;
  • dryers;
  • large freezers;
  • or similar major appliances.

If the Client safely moves an appliance before our arrival and exposes a reasonably accessible area, Silverline may clean the accessible area if it falls within the booked scope.

Our cleaners are not responsible for disconnecting or reconnecting:

  • gas lines;
  • water lines;
  • electrical connections;
  • appliance hoses;
  • built-in equipment; or
  • other utility connections.

Furniture will only be moved when the assigned team determines that it can be moved safely without unreasonable risk to the furniture, flooring, property, or cleaner.

Silverline may clean around furniture that cannot safely be moved.


33. DELICATE ITEMS, ELECTRONICS, ARTWORK, AND ANTIQUES

Silverline may decline to move or directly clean:

  • expensive artwork;
  • antiques;
  • collectibles;
  • musical instruments;
  • delicate electronics;
  • fragile sculptures;
  • unstable furniture;
  • heirlooms;
  • unusually delicate decorations;
  • or other items our team believes present an unreasonable risk.

Clients should move or secure these items before service.


34. VALUABLES AND SECURE ITEMS

Before cleaning, Clients should secure:

  • cash;
  • jewelry;
  • watches;
  • credit cards;
  • checkbooks;
  • negotiable instruments;
  • prescription medication;
  • controlled medication;
  • important documents;
  • passports;
  • firearms;
  • ammunition;
  • collectible items;
  • irreplaceable items;
  • confidential business records;
  • electronic devices containing sensitive information; and
  • other valuable property.

Items with unusual financial or sentimental value should not be left in areas where routine cleaning requires items to be handled or moved.

Silverline strongly recommends securing or specifically disclosing items with a replacement value exceeding $500.

Failure to secure valuable or unusually fragile property may be considered when evaluating responsibility for a claim to the extent permitted by law.


35. FIREARMS AND WEAPONS

All firearms and other dangerous weapons must be safely secured before the cleaning team enters the property.

Team members are not expected to move, handle, secure, unload, or clean around unsecured firearms.

Discovery of an unsecured weapon may result in immediate suspension of service.


36. PREEXISTING DAMAGE AND FRAGILE CONDITIONS

Clients are responsible for disclosing known fragile, loose, broken, unstable, improperly installed, improperly sealed, or damaged items before service.

Examples include:

  • loose fixtures;
  • loose faucets;
  • unstable shelves;
  • broken blinds;
  • deteriorated grout;
  • loose tiles;
  • cracked countertops;
  • chipped glass;
  • peeling paint;
  • damaged flooring;
  • worn finishes;
  • unsecured mirrors;
  • loose cabinet hardware;
  • deteriorated caulking;
  • aging plastics;
  • failing appliance components;
  • previously damaged furniture;
  • improperly mounted decorations;
  • or improperly sealed stone.

Ordinary cleaning can sometimes reveal deterioration, discoloration, wear, staining, scratches, or damage that was previously hidden by dirt or buildup.

Silverline is not responsible for preexisting deterioration merely because it becomes visible during or after cleaning.


37. SPECIALTY SURFACES

Clients should notify Silverline of specialty surfaces requiring specific treatment, including:

  • natural stone;
  • marble;
  • limestone;
  • specialty wood;
  • unsealed wood;
  • specialty coatings;
  • antique materials;
  • custom finishes;
  • delicate metals;
  • hand-painted surfaces;
  • manufacturer-restricted finishes; or
  • other unusually sensitive materials.

Silverline will use reasonable cleaning methods, but no cleaning process can reverse existing etching, corrosion, oxidation, wear, fading, scratching, discoloration, or chemical damage.


38. OVEN AND REFRIGERATOR CLEANING

Interior oven and refrigerator cleaning are included with Silverline deep cleans unless otherwise stated.

However:

  • appliances are not moved;
  • appliances are not disconnected;
  • major appliance components are not disassembled;
  • permanent staining or burned-on damage may remain;
  • broken or deteriorating components are not repaired;
  • Silverline does not guarantee restoration to new condition.

For refrigerator interiors, Clients should remove or properly secure items that could spoil or be damaged by temporary movement.

Silverline is not responsible for food spoilage caused by food being left unrefrigerated where the Client requested or required items to be removed for cleaning, except to the extent directly caused by Silverline's negligence.

Cleaners will not intentionally discard food unless instructed or unless the item has clearly been placed with trash for disposal.


39. TRASH AND DISPOSAL

Standard trash removal means removal of ordinary household or office trash into appropriate on-site disposal containers.

Unless separately agreed, Silverline is not a junk-removal or hauling company.

We do not ordinarily remove:

  • furniture;
  • construction debris;
  • bulk trash;
  • mattresses;
  • appliances;
  • hazardous waste;
  • chemicals;
  • paint;
  • biological waste;
  • needles;
  • large amounts of discarded personal property; or
  • materials requiring specialized disposal.

Clients are responsible for identifying what is trash.

Silverline is not required to determine whether ambiguous personal property should be discarded.


40. CLEANING RESULTS AND PERMANENT CONDITIONS

Silverline will make reasonable professional efforts to clean the property.

However, cleaning is not restoration.

Silverline does not guarantee removal of:

  • permanent stains;
  • severe mineral deposits;
  • rust;
  • etching;
  • scratches;
  • burns;
  • mold staining;
  • grout discoloration;
  • permanent pet staining;
  • urine damage;
  • smoke staining;
  • nicotine staining;
  • severe grease damage;
  • oxidation;
  • faded finishes;
  • paint;
  • adhesives;
  • construction compounds;
  • damaged caulk;
  • permanent odors;
  • or other conditions requiring repair, replacement, restoration, remediation, or specialized treatment.

A property may be significantly cleaner without every permanent defect disappearing.


41. NO GUARANTEE OF STERILITY OR DISEASE ELIMINATION

General cleaning and disinfecting does not make a property medically sterile.

Unless Silverline has expressly contracted to perform a specialized service, we do not guarantee:

  • elimination of all bacteria;
  • elimination of all viruses;
  • elimination of allergens;
  • elimination of mold spores;
  • elimination of pests;
  • elimination of odors;
  • or creation of a medically sterile environment.

Silverline does not provide medical, environmental-testing, remediation, or laboratory certification services.


42. SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS CAUSED BY THE CLIENT

The Client should allow the team reasonable access to areas included in the cleaning.

Silverline is not responsible for incomplete areas when work is prevented by:

  • locked rooms;
  • occupants refusing access;
  • contractors working in an area;
  • excessive belongings blocking surfaces;
  • pets;
  • children;
  • unavailable utilities;
  • unsafe conditions;
  • Client-requested interruptions;
  • construction occurring at the same time;
  • or other conditions controlled by the Client.

If the Client's actions materially prevent the service from being performed, Silverline may stop service without treating the result as a normal quality failure.


43. SERVICE QUALITY CONCERNS

Quality concerns must be reported to Silverline within 24 hours after completion of the cleaning.

The Client should provide:

  • a description of the issue;
  • the specific room or area involved; and
  • photographs when reasonably available.

Silverline must be given a reasonable opportunity to review the concern.

When appropriate, Silverline's normal remedy is to offer a touch-up or re-clean of the affected area.

Refunds are not automatic.

Depending on the circumstances, Silverline may choose to:

  • return to correct the issue;
  • offer a service credit;
  • provide a partial refund;
  • provide another reasonable resolution; or
  • determine that the condition falls outside the purchased scope or is not reasonably correctable through cleaning.

If Silverline reasonably offers to return and correct a cleaning-quality concern and the Client refuses to allow us to do so, the Client is not automatically entitled to a refund.

Nothing in this section eliminates any non-waivable consumer right.


44. PROPERTY DAMAGE CLAIMS

Any claimed property damage should be reported within 24 hours after the cleaning or, if the damage could not reasonably have been discovered within that period, as soon as reasonably possible after discovery.

The Client should provide:

  • clear photographs;
  • description of the item;
  • location;
  • approximate age;
  • original purchase information when available;
  • proof of ownership where reasonably necessary;
  • prior-condition information;
  • and repair estimates when requested.

Silverline must be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect or investigate the claimed damage.

Unless emergency mitigation is reasonably necessary, the Client should not:

  • discard the item;
  • alter it;
  • destroy evidence;
  • perform permanent repairs; or
  • replace it

before Silverline or its insurer has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect it.

Clients have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to prevent avoidable additional damage after an incident.


45. DAMAGE RESOLUTION

Where Silverline accepts responsibility for accidental property damage, Silverline or its insurer may elect an appropriate remedy including:

  • professional repair;
  • reimbursement of reasonable repair cost;
  • replacement with an item of comparable age, condition, and value;
  • or payment of the item's reasonable depreciated fair-market value when repair is not practical.

Silverline is not responsible for purely sentimental or subjective value above reasonable economic value.

A used item is not automatically valued at the retail cost of a brand-new replacement.

Silverline may request multiple repair or replacement estimates when appropriate.

Any payment, repair, insurance referral, inspection, or settlement discussion is not an admission of negligence or legal liability.

A reasonable written release may be required before final settlement of a disputed property claim.


46. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Silverline is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential losses arising from a cleaning appointment.

Examples may include:

  • lost income;
  • missed work;
  • lost business revenue;
  • lost rental income;
  • hotel expenses;
  • travel expenses;
  • missed appointments;
  • loss of use unrelated to direct repair;
  • emotional distress based solely on property value;
  • or other downstream economic losses.

For cleaning-quality claims, Silverline's liability will generally not exceed the amount paid for the affected cleaning, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

For accepted direct property-damage claims, responsibility is governed by the repair/replacement provisions above.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability to the extent caused by fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence where such liability cannot lawfully be waived, or other non-waivable statutory rights.


47. BONDING

As of the Effective Date, Silverline maintains a janitorial/surety bond with coverage up to $10,000, subject to the specific terms, conditions, exclusions, deductibles, definitions, and claim requirements of the bond.

Being "bonded" does not mean that every loss, breakage, disagreement, missing item, or damage claim is automatically covered or automatically payable.

A surety or janitorial bond is separate from ordinary liability insurance and generally applies only to claims qualifying under the bond's actual terms.

The bonding company, not the Client or Silverline alone, may determine whether a particular claim qualifies for bond coverage.

Current bond information may be updated as Silverline's insurance and bonding arrangements change.


48. INSURANCE CLAIMS

Silverline may refer a significant property claim to its insurance carrier.

Opening a claim, providing a claim number, communicating with an adjuster, or allowing an insurer to investigate does not constitute an admission of fault or liability.

Insurance coverage decisions are made under the applicable policy.

The Client agrees to reasonably cooperate with legitimate claim-investigation requests.


49. MISSING PROPERTY OR THEFT ALLEGATIONS

Silverline takes allegations involving missing property seriously.

A Client who believes property is missing should report it promptly and provide:

  • description of the missing item;
  • approximate value;
  • last known location;
  • last known date/time the item was seen; and
  • any photographs, receipts, recordings, or other relevant evidence reasonably available.

Clients should first make a reasonable effort to determine whether an item was moved during normal cleaning, moved by another occupant, or otherwise misplaced.

If theft is alleged, Silverline may require the Client to file a police report and reasonably cooperate with Silverline, law enforcement, the bonding company, or insurer.

Knowingly making a false theft allegation may have legal consequences.


50. QUALITY-CONTROL PHOTOGRAPHS

Silverline team members may take reasonable photographs or videos of work areas before, during, or after service for legitimate business purposes, including:

  • documenting initial condition;
  • documenting completed work;
  • quality control;
  • employee training;
  • management review;
  • customer-service investigations;
  • billing disputes;
  • chargebacks;
  • damage claims;
  • insurance claims; and
  • safety documentation.

Silverline will make reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessarily photographing highly personal information.

Photos taken for internal documentation are not automatically authorized for advertising.

Public advertising, social-media, or promotional use of identifiable Client property photographs will require separate permission when appropriate.


51. CONFIDENTIAL OR SENSITIVE MATERIALS

Cleaning personnel may incidentally encounter documents, photographs, mail, paperwork, computer screens, or other private materials while cleaning.

Silverline does not intentionally review Client documents as part of ordinary cleaning.

Clients are responsible for securing confidential, privileged, financial, medical, legal, personal, or proprietary material before service.

Silverline's ordinary cleaning agreement does not create a professional confidentiality, fiduciary, attorney-client, medical, or similar privileged relationship.

Commercial Clients requiring contractual confidentiality obligations should arrange them separately before service.


52. DIRECTING CLEANERS TO PERFORM EXTRA WORK

Clients should not independently direct a cleaner to perform substantial work outside the booked scope without Silverline authorization.

Requests for additional work may require:

  • additional charges;
  • additional time;
  • another cleaner;
  • different equipment; or
  • rescheduling.

A cleaner's willingness to look at or discuss an additional task does not automatically mean that task is included in the purchased cleaning.


53. NON-SOLICITATION / DIRECT HIRING

Silverline invests significant resources in:

  • recruiting;
  • screening;
  • hiring;
  • onboarding;
  • training;
  • scheduling;
  • managing;
  • insuring;
  • equipping; and
  • providing Clients to its cleaning personnel.

Clients therefore agree not to intentionally bypass Silverline by directly hiring or engaging a cleaner first introduced to them through Silverline for private cleaning or substantially similar household/commercial cleaning work outside Silverline.

This restriction applies during the Client relationship and for 12 months after the Client's last Silverline service involving that worker.

If a Client directly hires or engages such a cleaner in violation of this provision, the Client agrees to pay Silverline a $750 placement/recruitment fee.

The parties agree that this amount is intended to reasonably compensate Silverline for recruiting and placement value and is not intended as punishment.

This section does not prohibit the cleaner from generally working elsewhere or operating independently for unrelated customers.


54. DIRECT PAYMENTS TO CLEANERS

Except for voluntary gratuities, Clients may not privately pay a Silverline cleaner to:

  • bypass Silverline;
  • perform a Silverline-booked service off the company's books;
  • provide unauthorized additional paid cleaning during a Silverline appointment;
  • or create a private cleaning arrangement designed to avoid Silverline.

Payments for Silverline services must be processed through Silverline unless the company expressly authorizes another arrangement.


55. TIPS

Tips are voluntary.

Clients are never required to tip.

A voluntary gratuity may be given directly to the cleaner where permitted by Silverline policy.

A gratuity does not substitute for payment of the cleaning invoice, service fee, tax, deposit, or other amounts due to Silverline.


56. COMMERCIAL CLIENTS, LANDLORDS, PROPERTY MANAGERS, AND RENTALS

These Terms also apply to commercial properties, landlords, property managers, offices, short-term rentals, and similar Clients unless a separate written agreement applies.

The person making the booking represents that they have authority to authorize Silverline to enter and clean the property.

Silverline is not responsible for disputes involving:

  • landlords and tenants;
  • owners and property managers;
  • short-term rental hosts and guests;
  • business owners and employees;
  • condominium or HOA management;
  • security personnel; or
  • other third parties.

The Client is responsible for informing Silverline of relevant building rules, access restrictions, security requirements, parking requirements, and property-specific hazards.

Unless separately contracted, Silverline does not provide:

  • property inspections;
  • code-compliance inspections;
  • inventory certification;
  • security services;
  • damage inspections for landlords;
  • guest screening;
  • environmental testing;
  • or legal documentation regarding property condition.

57. EMERGENCIES DISCOVERED DURING SERVICE

Silverline is a cleaning company, not a property-monitoring or emergency-response service.

Our cleaners are not responsible for discovering hidden leaks, fires, structural problems, electrical issues, gas leaks, intruders, medical emergencies, or other property problems.

If a team member happens to observe an obvious emergency, Silverline may use reasonable judgment to:

  • notify the Client;
  • notify property management;
  • contact emergency services; or
  • leave the property.

Silverline does not assume an ongoing duty to inspect or monitor the property for emergencies.


58. COMPANY-INITIATED RESCHEDULING OR CANCELLATION

Silverline may need to delay, reschedule, reassign, suspend, or cancel a service because of circumstances including:

  • employee illness;
  • staffing emergencies;
  • vehicle breakdown;
  • traffic emergency;
  • severe weather;
  • unsafe roads;
  • power outages;
  • equipment failure;
  • property hazards;
  • inability to access the property;
  • customer misconduct;
  • payment failure;
  • inaccurate booking information;
  • emergencies;
  • government restrictions;
  • or other circumstances outside reasonable control.

Silverline will make reasonable efforts to notify the Client and offer another available appointment where appropriate.

When Silverline cancels an appointment for reasons not caused by the Client and service cannot reasonably be rescheduled, no Client cancellation fee will apply and any unused deposit will be refunded.

Silverline is not responsible for consequential losses resulting from a reasonable service delay or cancellation, such as lost wages, travel expense, missed work, hotel costs, lost rent, or similar indirect losses.


59. WEATHER AND FORCE MAJEURE

Silverline may reschedule service when travel or working conditions are unsafe or impractical.

Neither party will be considered in breach solely because performance is prevented by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including:

  • severe weather;
  • flooding;
  • fire;
  • natural disaster;
  • major transportation disruption;
  • government action;
  • civil emergency;
  • utility failure;
  • epidemic;
  • pandemic;
  • labor disruption;
  • widespread system outage; or
  • similar events.

Payment remains due for services already performed.


60. CLIENT REQUESTS INVOLVING RISK

If Silverline advises that a requested method, chemical, tool, movement of an object, or treatment presents an unusual risk, Silverline may refuse the request.

If Silverline agrees to a Client-requested method that differs from our normal recommendation, Silverline may require additional written acknowledgment before proceeding.

Silverline is not responsible for damage caused solely by a risk that was specifically disclosed to and knowingly requested by the Client, to the extent permitted by law.


61. NO GUARANTEE OF SPECIFIC SERVICE DURATION

Silverline does not guarantee that a cleaning will take a specific number of hours.

An experienced multi-person team may complete a job significantly faster than one cleaner.

A fast completion does not mean that the Client is entitled to a lower flat-rate price when the booked scope was properly completed.

Likewise, a cleaning taking longer than expected does not automatically increase the price unless:

  • the scope changes;
  • an add-on is approved;
  • the property condition was materially different from what was represented; or
  • another price adjustment is agreed to.

62. NO ORAL MODIFICATION BY INDIVIDUAL CLEANERS

Individual cleaners do not have authority to permanently modify:

  • these Terms;
  • Silverline's cancellation policy;
  • company pricing;
  • recurring-plan terms;
  • liability provisions; or
  • company-wide policies

unless Silverline management expressly authorizes the modification.

Service-specific requests may still be approved through normal company procedures.


63. BUSINESS RECORDS

Silverline may retain records reasonably related to its business, including:

  • bookings;
  • acceptance of Terms;
  • customer communications;
  • invoices;
  • payment records;
  • service notes;
  • photographs;
  • quality-control information;
  • claim documentation; and
  • scheduling history.

Such records may be used where reasonably necessary to administer service, resolve disputes, respond to chargebacks, collect valid balances, investigate claims, comply with law, or cooperate with insurers and legal authorities.


64. INDEMNIFICATION FOR CLIENT-CREATED THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS

To the extent permitted by law, the Client agrees to be responsible for reasonable third-party claims, losses, or expenses arising directly from:

  • the Client's lack of authority to authorize entry;
  • knowingly providing false property information;
  • undisclosed hazardous conditions;
  • unlawful instructions;
  • Client-controlled animals;
  • Client misconduct;
  • Client's violation of law;
  • or the Client's material breach of these Terms.

This provision does not require the Client to indemnify Silverline for losses to the extent caused by Silverline's own negligence, willful misconduct, or other liability that cannot lawfully be shifted.


65. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

Silverline will use reasonable professional efforts to provide the purchased cleaning service.

Except for rights that cannot legally be waived, Silverline does not make guarantees that:

  • every stain will be removed;
  • every odor will disappear;
  • every surface will be restored;
  • the property will become "like new";
  • cleaning will prevent future dirt or dust;
  • every permanent defect will disappear;
  • or a particular Client's subjective expectations will always match the reasonable scope of the booked service.

The satisfaction procedure contained in these Terms is intended to provide a practical process for correcting legitimate cleaning concerns.


66. INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Before beginning formal arbitration or litigation, the Client and Silverline agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve the dispute directly.

The party raising the dispute should provide:

  • name;
  • contact information;
  • property involved;
  • approximate service date;
  • description of the dispute; and
  • requested resolution.

Silverline may be contacted at (845) 208-5741 or through the written contact method made available on SilverlinePros.com.

Unless immediate legal relief is reasonably necessary, the parties should allow approximately 30 days for informal resolution before initiating formal proceedings.

Small-claims matters may proceed as permitted below.


67. BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.

THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Except for matters eligible for small-claims court and other matters that applicable law does not allow to be arbitrated, you and Silverline agree that disputes will be resolved through individual binding arbitration rather than a lawsuit in court.

ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND SILVERLINE ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE THE DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN COURT.

This arbitration agreement is intended to be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent applicable.

For an individual consumer dispute, arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect when the claim is filed, unless the parties mutually agree to another reputable arbitration provider.

Commercial disputes may be administered under the appropriate AAA commercial rules when consumer rules do not apply.

Any allocation of arbitration filing fees, administrative fees, or arbitrator compensation will comply with the applicable AAA rules and applicable law.

Arbitration may occur remotely, by documents, by telephone/video, or at another reasonable location as allowed by the applicable rules.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking lawful emergency or temporary relief where necessary to protect property or preserve rights pending arbitration.


68. SMALL-CLAIMS COURT EXCEPTION

Either party may bring an individual claim in a court of competent small-claims jurisdiction if:

  • the claim qualifies for that court;
  • it remains an individual claim; and
  • it is not transferred, removed, or combined in a way that takes it outside the court's proper jurisdiction.

69. CLASS-ACTION WAIVER

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND SILVERLINE AGREE TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

Neither party will seek to have an arbitrator resolve claims as:

  • a class action;
  • class arbitration;
  • consolidated representative action; or
  • private representative proceeding on behalf of unrelated customers,

unless applicable law requires otherwise.

If a final court determination finds that a particular class or representative claim cannot lawfully be waived and cannot be arbitrated individually, that specific claim will proceed in court rather than invalidate the remaining enforceable portions of the arbitration agreement.


70. JURY-TRIAL WAIVER FOR COURT CLAIMS

For any dispute that lawfully proceeds in court instead of arbitration:

YOU AND SILVERLINE EACH KNOWINGLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

This means a judge, rather than a jury, would decide the dispute unless applicable law prevents the waiver.


71. RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION

A Client may opt out of Sections 67 through 70 by providing Silverline with written notice within 30 days after first accepting these Terms.

The notice must:

  • state the Client's full name;
  • identify the service address or account;
  • clearly state that the Client is opting out of the arbitration agreement; and
  • be sent through SilverlinePros.com's written contact method or another written method Silverline makes available.

Opting out of arbitration does not cancel your cleaning service and will not result in a penalty or different cleaning price.

An opt-out applies only to the Client who timely submitted it.


72. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms are governed by applicable federal law and the substantive law of the state in which the cleaning service is performed, unless another law is legally required to apply.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to eliminate consumer rights that cannot lawfully be waived under New York, New Jersey, federal, or other applicable law.


73. COURT VENUE

Where a dispute is permitted or required to proceed in court rather than arbitration, it must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction and venue permitted by applicable law.

The parties agree not to object to a lawful venue solely for the purpose of unnecessarily increasing the other party's expense.


74. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

Silverline may update these Terms from time to time because of:

  • changes in services;
  • changes in operating procedures;
  • changes in technology;
  • changes in pricing practices;
  • legal or regulatory changes;
  • insurance requirements; or
  • other reasonable business needs.

Changes generally apply prospectively.

For recurring customers, Silverline will provide any notice of material changes required by applicable law.

Where applicable law requires affirmative consent before a particular change can be applied, Silverline will obtain that consent.

The "Last Updated" date at the top identifies the current version.


75. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent lawfully possible or severed where appropriate.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect unless applicable law requires otherwise.


76. NO WAIVER

If Silverline chooses not to enforce a provision on one occasion, that does not mean Silverline permanently waives the provision.

Examples include:

  • waiving a cancellation fee once;
  • allowing additional waiting time;
  • honoring a one-time exception;
  • accepting a late payment;
  • providing a courtesy touch-up;
  • or making another accommodation.

A courtesy does not automatically modify future policy.


77. ASSIGNMENT

The Client may not transfer the Client's contractual rights or payment obligations to another person without Silverline's consent.

Silverline may assign or transfer its rights and obligations as part of a lawful reorganization, merger, sale, financing, business transfer, or use of an affiliated service entity, subject to applicable law.


78. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES

Except where these Terms expressly state otherwise, these Terms are intended to govern the relationship between Silverline and the Client and do not create contractual rights for unrelated third parties.


79. ENTIRE SERVICE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with the Client's accepted booking information, approved add-ons, approved changes, and other written service-specific agreements, form the agreement between the Client and Silverline concerning the service.

A casual conversation or statement does not modify these Terms unless the modification is actually authorized by Silverline.

Nothing in this section permits Silverline to disregard a representation that applicable law makes binding.


80. SURVIVAL

Provisions that by their nature should continue after the cleaning relationship ends will survive termination, including provisions involving:

  • unpaid balances;
  • claims;
  • chargebacks;
  • property damage;
  • non-solicitation;
  • limitations of liability;
  • dispute resolution;
  • arbitration;
  • and other accrued rights and obligations.

81. OUR RIGHT TO REFUSE OR TERMINATE SERVICE

Silverline reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or permanently terminate a Client relationship for legitimate business or safety reasons including:

  • repeated nonpayment;
  • fraudulent chargebacks;
  • abusive behavior;
  • unsafe conditions;
  • repeated inaccurate booking information;
  • repeated last-minute cancellations;
  • repeated access failures;
  • harassment of staff;
  • attempts to privately hire cleaners in violation of these Terms;
  • illegal activity;
  • unreasonable demands outside the purchased scope;
  • or another material breach of these Terms.

Silverline will exercise this right subject to applicable anti-discrimination and consumer-protection laws.
