1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the garden care, maintenance, and related services provided by Maple Leaf Garden Care Ltd. (“Maple Leaf Garden Care Ltd.”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By requesting, booking, paying for, or otherwise using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our services. These Terms apply to all clients, property owners, tenants, authorized representatives, and any other persons who engage or receive services from Maple Leaf Garden Care Ltd.

These Terms are intended to be interpreted in accordance with applicable laws in Canada, including applicable provincial consumer protection, contract, privacy, and commercial laws.

2. Scope of Services

Maple Leaf Garden Care Ltd. provides residential and commercial garden care and related outdoor maintenance services, which may include, without limitation:

  • Garden design and planting
  • Seasonal garden cleanups
  • Lawn edging and maintenance
  • Mulching and soil preparation
  • Shrub and hedge trimming
  • Weed control and bed care
  • Irrigation system checks and adjustments

The exact scope, frequency, timing, and deliverables for any service will be determined by the applicable estimate, proposal, work order, booking confirmation, or written agreement between the parties. Any services not expressly included in the agreed scope may require additional charges and/or a separate authorization.

We may decline or suspend services where site conditions, weather, safety concerns, access issues, legal restrictions, environmental conditions, or client conduct make performance impractical, unsafe, or non-compliant with law.

3. User Obligations and Responsibilities

By engaging our services, you agree to the following obligations:

  • You must provide accurate, complete, and current information about the property, desired services, site conditions, access instructions, utilities, irrigation lines, pets, hazards, and any other relevant information.
  • You must ensure we have safe and reasonable access to the property and all areas where services are to be performed.
  • You are responsible for securing valuables, fragile items, personal property, and any items that may be damaged or interfere with service performance.
  • You must disclose known underground lines, irrigation components, buried objects, electrical fixtures, hidden hazards, protected plants, contaminated soil, invasive species issues, or other site-specific risks.
  • You must obtain any required permissions, approvals, permits, strata/condominium consent, landlord consent, or municipal permissions necessary for the requested services.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that pets, children, and other persons are kept away from active work areas.
  • You must not request any unlawful, unsafe, or environmentally prohibited work.
  • You agree to notify us promptly of any concerns, defects, damage, or complaints relating to our services.

If your property is rented, jointly owned, managed by a condominium corporation, or otherwise subject to third-party rules, you represent that you have authority to authorize the requested services or have obtained the necessary consent.

4. Payment Terms and Conditions

Fees for services will be set out in our estimate, proposal, rate sheet, invoice, or booking confirmation. Unless otherwise stated in writing, all prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD) and may be subject to applicable taxes, including GST/HST and any other applicable taxes.

  • Payment terms, including deposits, milestone payments, progress billing, and final payment dates, will be specified at the time of booking or invoicing.
  • Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are due upon receipt or within the period stated on the invoice.
  • We may require a deposit before scheduling or commencing work, especially for design, planting, seasonal projects, or special-order materials.
  • You are responsible for all charges for services performed, materials used, disposal fees, special equipment, travel fees, and any approved additional work.
  • Late payments may be subject to interest charges and collection costs to the extent permitted by law.
  • If a payment is declined, reversed, or disputed without valid grounds, you remain responsible for the outstanding amount and any associated fees.

Estimates are based on information available at the time provided. If actual site conditions differ materially from what was disclosed, additional charges may apply after notice to you, to the extent permitted by law.

5. Cancellation and Refund Policy

Cancellations and rescheduling requests should be made as early as possible. Our cancellation terms may vary depending on the type of service, materials ordered, and scheduling commitments.

  • If you cancel a scheduled service with insufficient notice, we may charge a cancellation fee or retain any applicable deposit to cover administrative time, reserved labour, materials, and lost scheduling opportunity.
  • If materials have been ordered, custom work has begun, or third-party costs have been incurred, those amounts are non-refundable to the extent permitted by law.
  • If we must cancel or reschedule due to weather, unsafe conditions, supply issues, staff availability, or other operational reasons, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you promptly and reschedule the service.
  • Refunds, if any, will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and may be limited to services not yet performed, less any non-recoverable costs incurred by us.

Where services are completed in whole or in part, payment will be due for the work performed and materials used, even if the project is later cancelled by you.

6. Liability Limitations

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Maple Leaf Garden Care Ltd. shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of use, loss of business, or loss of enjoyment, arising out of or related to our services or these Terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to our services or these Terms shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

We are not responsible for:

  • Pre-existing property damage, plant disease, soil conditions, pest infestations, or drainage issues
  • Damage caused by undisclosed hazards, hidden defects, or inaccurate information supplied by you
  • Damage caused by acts or omissions of third parties, including utility contractors, landscapers, tenants, neighbours, or visitors
  • Damage caused by extreme weather, natural wear and tear, disease, pests, or environmental conditions beyond our control
  • Damage resulting from irrigation, drainage, or underground systems that were not properly disclosed or marked

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation would be prohibited by applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or mandatory consumer protections that cannot be waived.
