Terms and Conditions

Surv Terms of Sale

Last Modified: July 12, 2022

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

These terms of sale are entered into by and between You and Rent Sons Inc. DBA Surv (“Surv”, “we” or “us”). The following terms (collectively, these “Terms of Sale”), govern your use of the services offered by Surv (the “Services”). The offer of Services through our website, verbal, phone system, text message, and mobile application (collectively, the “Site”) is expressly conditioned upon your acceptance of these Terms of Sale. You will be deemed to have accepted these Terms of Sale by submitting a Services request. Use of the terms “you” or “your” in these Terms of Sale, as the context requires, means and includes the person or entity on whose behalf the Services are being procured (the “User”). User is fully responsible for compliance with these Terms.

By agreeing to these terms, You are implicitly agreeing to Surv’s Surv+ Terms and Conditions.  

GUIDELINES

Requests: After you complete a Services request on the Site, our Scheduler will match your Services request to available Local Workers. “Local workers” are independent contractors who perform Services. Surv does not guarantee that any particular Services request will be fulfilled. If your Services request cannot be fulfilled, you will be informed by the scheduler as soon as reasonably possible.

Independent Contractors: Local Workers are independent contractors of Surv. Local Workers have no authority to bind Surv or you and they shall not make any agreements or representations on Surv’s or your behalf without Surv’s prior written consent.

Fees and Payment: Services are billed based on the work outlined in your request and on your area. You must approve our estimate for the job in order to get on the schedule, which will be sent by either text or email by our Scheduling team or Community Manager. We do not charge until the Services are complete for the day, and will do so via an invoice sent through text or email. We require invoices to be completed day-of, and for multi-day projects will bill you accordingly. If the job varies from what was disclosed in your initial request and what the original estimate was contingent upon, we reserve the right to either: not complete the job, complete the aspect of the job disclosed only, or reflect the scope of the work completed in your final invoice, in which case your invoice may differ from the estimate. 

We’re Quality! But We Aren’t Pros: When you rent Local Workers, you rent quality workers. They are not professionals that have 20 years of experience and thousands of dollars in equipment. However, for most jobs we think you’ll be blown away with how well they work. In some cases, our Scheduler may suggest that you should leave the job to the pros. We are not responsible if you later determine that you should have hired a person with skilled expertise in the area.

Tips: Our culture is this: If the Local Worker does a good job, please tip them!

Tools and Materials: We do not provide tools unless you rent tools from us, in which case the rental fees will be included in your estimate. The tool rental charge for standard hand tools varies by job. Any such tool rental charge is in addition to charges for materials (for example: paint for a painting job. We will bring the brushes, but you need to buy the paint.) If you require additional tool, equipment, or material rentals, we will charge a 20% deposit upfront to schedule your job. 

Insurance, Property Damage and Personal Injury: We cover each Local Worker with $1 million general liability policy. You may request a copy of our insurance certificate at any time. In the unlikely event we damage items that are beyond reasonable wear and tear, we will cover up to $1,000 out-of-pocket for the items or the $1 million general liability insurance policy will handle it if the damage is greater than $5000. For jobs of a certain size or if you have items of greater value we strongly encourage you to purchase our additional insurance policy for $100. This covers any damages over $1000 but no greater than $5000. This policy is presented and can be selected in the job booking process. Please note, however, that you will still be responsible for the cost of the Services. Surv has no obligation to make repairs to any incidental damage that results from providing the Services. In the event that the Services result in damage or injury, Surv shall only be responsible for damages up to $1,000 and shall not be liable to you for money damages exceeding that amount. You must provide a detailed description and photographs of any such potential claims no later than thirty days following the completion of Services. We are not responsible for damages incurred because the Local Worker relied on your advice, direction, assistance, tools and/or supplies in performing the Services. We reserve the right to repair the damages ourselves and will not reimburse you for repairs made by persons who have not been authorized by us to repair the damage.

Lunch Breaks: If the Local Workers are scheduled to work at least 6 hours, they are allowed a 30-minute paid lunch break.

Sunday & Holiday Jobs: If your timing is not flexible, we may accept a holiday or Sunday job, at Surv’s discretion. 

Disputes and Liability: In the event that you have a dispute with a Local Worker, you release Surv from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SURV, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, OUR COMMUNITY BUILDERS) BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE. THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

CANCELLATION POLICY

We understand that life is unpredictable and things happen. As long as you let us know more than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment, there’s no cancellation fee. If you need to cancel within 24 hours, we will have to charge you for 50% of your reserved time. In some special cases—such as a family emergency—we may consider waiving the 50% charge and simply rescheduling the job. Please understand that we review these on a case-by-case basis and generally require documentation of the emergency.

KEEP OUR LOCAL WORKERS SAFE

Moving: The Community Manager may decide a moving job is too strenuous or difficult for the Local Worker.

Landscaping: Although we are insured, we do not use power tools like chainsaws or climb tall ladders (exceeding 20ft)

Roofs: We do not go on roofs.

Painting: We will only paint the first level exterior unless you speak more in depth with your Community Manager. We have experienced Local Workers that can paint your house, but we need a heads up in advance of booking.

Uncleanliness: If the job site has black mold, feces, hazardous chemicals, or if there are other hazardous conditions at your house, you should call a professional.

MISCELLANEOUS

If Surv cannot perform any of its obligations because of events beyond our reasonable control, then Surv will not be liable to you for failure to perform.

Surv has no obligation to make repairs to any incidental damage that results from providing the Services. In the event that the Services result in damage or injury, Surv shall only be responsible for damages up to $1,000 and shall not be liable to you for money damages exceeding that amount.

In the unlikely event we damage items that are beyond reasonable wear and tear, we will cover up to $1,000 out-of-pocket for the items or the $1 million general liability insurance policy will handle it if the damage is greater than $5000. For jobs of a certain size or if you have items of greater value we strongly encourage you to purchase our additional insurance policy for $100. This covers any damages over $1000 but no greater than $5000. This policy is presented and can be selected in the job booking process. Please note, however, that you will still be responsible for the cost of the Services.

Surv is not liable for any damage caused by insufficient disclosure in writing of the value, weight and/or fragility of items that are handled in connection with the Services. If such items have a value over $1,000, you are required to disclose the value to us in writing prior to performance of the Services.

No waiver by Surv of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Sale shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Surv to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Sale shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Sale is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Sale will continue in full force and effect.

The Terms of Sale, Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Surv regarding the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Site.

Surv may revise and update these Terms of Sale from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately, and apply to all Services requests made through the Site thereafter. Any changes to these Terms of Sale will not apply to any Services request received by us before such changes are made.
