## 11\. Recurring Service Plans

The Total Wash Co. offers recurring service plans for ongoing maintenance. The following terms apply to all recurring service agreements:

- Recurring plans automatically renew at the end of each service period unless cancelled with **30 days' written notice**.
- Pricing for renewed plans may be adjusted annually, subject to a maximum increase of **5% per year** unless a greater increase is necessitated by significant changes in scope, materials costs, or regulatory requirements.

## 12\. Snow and Ice Services

Snow removal and ice management services are subject to the following additional terms:

- **Trigger thresholds:** Service is initiated based on the snowfall accumulation threshold specified in your contract (typically 1-2 inches). Sub-threshold events may not trigger automatic service.
- **Response time:** We aim to complete service within the timeframe specified in your agreement following the end of a qualifying snow event. Response times are measured from the end of snowfall, not the beginning.
- **Slip-and-fall liability:** While we make every effort to clear snow and ice thoroughly, The Total Wash Co. cannot guarantee slip-free conditions at all times. Property owners retain responsibility for monitoring conditions between service visits.
- **Property damage:** Minor turf, curb, or landscape damage is an inherent risk of snow plowing and removal operations. The Total Wash Co. is not liable for such incidental damage unless caused by gross negligence.
- **Salt and de-icer disclaimer:** Salt and chemical de-icers may cause discoloration or damage to concrete, pavers, vegetation, and metal surfaces over time. By authorizing salt application, you acknowledge and accept this risk.
- **Seasonal contracts:** Mid-season cancellation terms are outlined in our [Cancellation Policy](/cancellation-policy).
