Terms Of USE

UPDATED: 15/6/2024

1. Applicability.

(a) These terms and conditions for use of service (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the services (“Services”) provided by Shining Bright Cleaning LLC (“Shining Bright, SBCleanCo” collectively, “We”, “Ours”, “Us”, “Our”) to you, the client (“You,” “Your,” or “Client”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the Services described herein, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.

(b) These Terms, together with any Quote, Estimate or Invoice issued by Us in connection with the Services (collectively, the “Agreement”), comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Your general terms and conditions regardless of whether or when You have submitted Your purchase order or such terms. Performance of the Services does not constitute acceptance of any of Your terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms. Indeed, to the extent Client’s terms conflict with these Terms, Client’s terms are specifically rejected.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, SBCleanCo may, from time to time change the Services without Your consent provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Invoice.

(d) SBCleanCo may modify the Terms at any time. A current version of the Terms shall be posted to our website and shall be effective upon posting and shall automatically be incorporated into any applicable Quote or Invoice. Please review the terms each time You request Services, as Your solicitation of Services will constitute acceptance of, and agreement to, the then-existing Terms. You waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes.

2. Performance of Services.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, SBCleanCo will provide the Services requested (the “Project”) for the location specified in a Quote (the “Project Site”).

4. Inspection and Rejection of Services.

(a) You shall conduct a walkthrough with SBCleanCo to inspect the Services as soon as the Work is complete.
