About the Service. The Service enables Users who are seeking help (“Requesting Users”) with various services, including landscaping and snow removal to connect through the Website or App with third party service professionals (the “Property Service Professionals”) who would like to complete the task (the “Property Service”) for the Requesting User. The Service provides a platform that connects Requesting Users and Property Service Professionals only. We do not provide or perform Property Services. We are not responsible for the performance of Property Services, nor do we have control over the quality, timing, provision or failure to provide, or any aspect whatsoever relating to the identification, request, or provision of Property Services related, directly or indirectly, to our Service. You must become a registered User by creating a User Account (as defined below) to request assistance and connect with a Property Service Professional. You may access the Service from a computer or mobile device.
1. Requesting Property Services. A User may use the Service to post a request to have a particular Property Service provided (a “Request”). Such Requests must be clearly worded, correctly provide for the relevant category of service, and be a fair and accurate description of the work to be done. When making a request, the Requesting User is solely responsible for confirming the accuracy of all information provided, including, the work requested to be done and the location at which the Requesting User will require such Property Services (the “Premises”). Each Request is limited to one discrete Property Service to be provided by one or more Property Service Professionals. If a User wishes to obtain help with more than one Property Service, the User must make a separate Request for each Property Service requested. As a Requesting User, by confirming your Request, you understand and agree that you have made an offer, for which a Property Service Professional has the power to accept or reject in his or her sole discretion. You may cancel the job (“Job”) without incurring a fee only within the first 5 minutes of the Job being accepted by a Property Service Professional. You further acknowledge and understand that the first Property Service Professional who accepts your Request for a Property Service on the terms of your Request may be the Property Service Professional to perform the Property Service. You understand that once a Property Service Professional accepts your Request, we will notify you with information about the Property Service Professional, which may include the Property Service Professional’s name, photo, company name, customer service rating, and estimated time of arrival. You will also be able to contact the Property Service Professional through the App or by telephone or text message for the sole purpose of communication related to the Property Service Request.

We do not guarantee that your Request will be accepted within the timeline prescribed for the respective service category, or at all. Any references within the Service to a Property Service Professional being rated, verified, vetted, licensed (where applicable), qualified, or similar language only indicates that the Property Service Professional has completed the relevant registration process and does not endorse, certify, or guarantee any User or their identity, trustworthiness, suitability, or ability to provide the Property Service.

Fees & Payment Terms
1. Important Clarification Regarding Relationship. Requesting Users contract directly with the Property Service Professionals. We will not be a party to any agreements or contracts for Property Services. We act to coordinate payments between Requesting Users and the Property Services Professional but do not act as a prime contractor for the Property Services and nothing in our involvement in the payment process makes us responsible for the Property Services. Your contract for Property Services is with the Property Services Professional, not with us.
2. Eden Rates. We set the rates for the base price for lawn mowing and snow removal and any add-ons and landscaping is either set by the Property Service Professional or by us on an individual Job-basis (the “Eden Rate”), which will be provided to you during your Request process. We reserve the right to modify or update the Eden Rates at any time and in our sole discretion. When submitting a Request for a particular category of Property Service, we may provide you with the Eden Rate, but are under no obligation to do so and you hereby agree that it is your responsibility to remain informed about the current Eden Rates for the category of Property Service at the time requested.
3. Minimum Charge. You understand and agree that there may be a minimum charge set for each Property Service (the “Minimum Charge”). We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to apply the Minimum Charge for your Job, other than as provided for herein.
4. Property Service Payment and Billing. Requesting Users will be responsible for paying the invoice for each Property Service (the “Invoice”), which will include the pricing terms of the Property Service agreed to between the Requesting User and the Property Service Professional. By submitting a Request, you agree that you will pay for all Property Services requested (including all materials, taxes and late fees, as applicable) (the “Property Service Payment”) that may be accrued by or in connection with your User Account, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. You understand and agree that we will be responsible, in our sole discretion, for determining the Property Service Payment amount and any agreement you make directly with the Property Service Professional regarding payment will not apply. The Property Service Payment amount will be largely based on the information the Property Service Professional provides us through the App. For all charges applied to your User Account, we will charge your credit card on file with us according to the agreed upon amount between you and us for the Property Service, and you hereby authorize us to charge your credit card for the amounts due for the Property Service Payment immediately upon the Property Service Professional completing the Job. You also authorize us to pre-authorize a charge to your credit card based on your Request. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, but are under no obligation to place a hold on any Property Service Payment. If your payment does not go through, for any reason, you agree to pay the Property Service Payment amount due within seven (7) days of us sending the Invoice or receipt. You may be charged a cancellation fee or minimum payment if you book or confirm a Property Service Request but cancel it before the Property Service is completed as set out in the Guidelines. You further agree that you are responsible for the timely payment of all Property Service Payments and that any such Property Service Payment made is non-refundable, unless otherwise determined in our sole discretion.

By doing so, you authorize us to provide this information to the third party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) we retain. You acknowledge and agree that the terms of the Payment Processor will govern your agreement and interactions with the Payment Processor and that our terms and policies do not govern and that we have no liability arising from your use of or access to the Payment Processor. You should review the applicable terms and policies of the Payment Processor, including its privacy and data gathering practices. We are not responsible for any arrears by the Payment Processor.

We reserve the right to introduce or charge, or change a service fee (“Fees”) or implement charges for features of the Service as indicated to Users from time to time. Any revised fees will take effect 30 days from the date of posting to the Website, App, or notification to your User Account. If you choose to terminate your User Account after notification of any new or additional fees, you must do so before the 30 day period, after which such charges will be applied to your User Account, if applicable.
7. No Obligation to Withhold Taxes. Except for applicable taxes indicated on your Invoice, we do not collect or remit any taxes for any Property Service Payments received in any jurisdiction.
