Important: These terms are a practical starting point for 914 Handy. Review them with qualified counsel and update them to match the business’s actual estimates, payment practices, cancellation rules, warranties, insurance, and service-provider relationships.
1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of 914handy.com and your requests for estimates, scheduling, project coordination, and home services through 914 Handy. By using the website, submitting a request, approving an estimate, or scheduling service, you agree to these terms and any written project terms provided to you.
If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the website or request services.
2. Services Provided
914 Handy helps customers request, coordinate, and receive handyman and home-improvement services. Depending on the project, work may be completed by employees, independent service professionals, or subcontractors. The written estimate or service confirmation will identify the approved scope, pricing basis, materials, exclusions, and other project-specific terms.
Service availability depends on location, project type, scheduling, property conditions, permitting requirements, and the availability of qualified professionals.
3. Estimates & Quotes
Website calculators, price ranges, telephone discussions, and preliminary figures are informational only unless expressly identified as a final written estimate.
Final pricing is confirmed after the project details and site conditions are reviewed.
Estimates may be valid only for the period stated in the written estimate.
Hidden damage, code requirements, customer-requested changes, or additional work may change the price and schedule.
No additional work will be included unless authorized according to the project agreement.
4. Scheduling & Cancellations
Appointment dates and arrival windows are estimates and may change because of traffic, weather, emergencies, material availability, earlier jobs, or other circumstances. Customers should provide reasonable notice when rescheduling or canceling. Any cancellation, trip, or late-notice fee must be disclosed in the applicable estimate or scheduling confirmation.
5. Payment Terms
Payment timing, accepted payment methods, deposits, progress payments, and final balances will be stated in the applicable estimate or invoice. Unless the written agreement says otherwise, payment is due when invoiced or when the agreed work is completed.
Deposits may be required for materials, scheduling, or larger projects.
Customers are responsible for approved work, materials, taxes, and disclosed fees.
Past-due balances may be subject to lawful collection costs or other remedies stated in the project agreement.
6. Workmanship & Warranty
Any workmanship warranty, callback period, product warranty, or remedy must be stated in writing for the specific project. Manufacturer warranties are subject to the manufacturer’s terms. Warranty coverage may not apply to pre-existing damage, customer-supplied materials, normal wear, misuse, work altered by others, concealed conditions, or matters outside the approved scope.
7. Customer Responsibilities
Customers agree to provide accurate project information, lawful authorization to approve work at the property, safe and timely access, working utilities when needed, and disclosure of known hazards or concealed conditions.
Secure pets, valuables, and fragile items away from the work area.
Identify known plumbing, electrical, structural, environmental, or safety concerns.
Obtain owner, building, association, or other approvals unless the written agreement assigns that responsibility elsewhere.
Review completed work promptly and report concerns within the applicable written warranty or callback period.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 914 Handy and its service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages arising from website use, delays, unavailable services, or a project. Any limitation of direct liability, allocation of responsibility, insurance requirement, or dispute procedure should be stated in the written project agreement and reviewed by qualified counsel.
Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived.
9. Changes & Contact
We may update these terms periodically. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Changes do not alter an existing signed project agreement unless the parties agree in writing.
