LawnSavers Plant Health Care Inc. (LSPHC) takes the utmost care and precaution to protect your premises and property during all Christmas lighting installation and takedown services. These Terms & Conditions form a binding agreement between LSPHC and the customer identified in the associated proposal or work order.
By accepting service, the customer agrees to the Terms & Conditions outlined herein by LawnSavers Plant Health Care Inc., operating as Christmaslightstoronto.com.

1. Authorization and Access

Customer hereby authorizes LSPHC and its employees, contractors, and representatives to access and work on the property for the purposes of installation and takedown of seasonal lighting and decorations. This includes the use of ladders, roof anchors, safety equipment, and other tools as deemed necessary to perform the services safely.

Customer agrees to provide free, clear, and safe access to all required areas of the property, including access to functioning exterior power sources in close proximity to installation areas.

2. Design and Aesthetic Expectations

Lighting design is subjective and trees, shrubs, and architectural features vary in size and shape. Installations will be completed on a best-efforts basis using the agreed number of lights and materials to meet the spirit of the design plan.

Additional lighting, modifications, or redesigns requested by the customer after installation may be provided at an additional charge, subject to availability and scheduling.

3. Ownership and Use of Materials

All lighting, décor, and related equipment remain the sole property of LSPHC until payment has been received in full. Unauthorized removal, modification, or relocation of these materials is strictly prohibited. Customers are expressly prohibited from attempting to install, move, or modify LSPHC’s materials themselves, and LSPHC accepts no liability for damages or injuries resulting from such actions.

4. Payment Terms

By signing this agreement, the customer authorizes LSPHC to charge the deposit to the credit card provided and acknowledges that the remaining balance will be automatically charged at the time of installation.

• Contracts not paid in full within 7 days of installation will incur a 10% late fee.
• Interest will accrue on overdue balances at 2% per month (24% per annum).
• If full payment is not received, LSPHC reserves the right to retrieve all materials from the property, with prior notice, and the customer hereby grants permission for such retrieval.
• Retrieval shall be conducted peaceably and during reasonable hours.
• Failure to pay does not release the customer from the total contract amount; LSPHC reserves the right to pursue collection of the full contract value and associated legal or recovery costs.

• $110 + HST for the first 30 minutes
• $95 + HST per hour thereafter
• Plus applicable materials cost

Seasonal lighting is approved for up to 90 days of exterior use per year, in accordance with TSSA, UL, and CSA certifications. LSPHC is not responsible for damage or failure due to prolonged exposure, electrical issues, vandalism, animal activity, or severe weather events. These occurrences are not covered under warranty.  Rain or moisture from fog, snow & ice may affect the ability of lights to function fully and properly.

6. Assumption of Risk

Customer acknowledges that outdoor installation and takedown of lighting involves inherent risks, including minor damage to roofing materials, gutters, fascia, paint, siding, trees, and landscaping. The customer assumes these risks, except where damage results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of LSPHC.

Customers are advised to use extreme caution around wires, cords, and decorations, which may present a tripping or safety hazard. LSPHC is not responsible for any injuries sustained due to misuse or failure to observe safety warnings.

7. Force Majeure

No party shall be liable for failure or delay in performance where such failure arises due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to:

• Natural disasters (wind, ice, flood, earthquake, etc.)
• Extreme weather conditions
• Labour disputes or shortages

• Power outages or utility failures
• Transportation delays
• Government orders or public health restrictions

These events shall not entitle the customer to cancel the contract or claim damages.
