SERVICE CONDITIONS

You clearly understand and agree that all purchases are governed by all of the policies and rules at www.sjclp.com. In the event that there is any conflict in service terms between the website and the terms herein, the terms which provide the strongest legal argument for SJCR shall govern. All services of any kind offered for purchase are understood and agreed to be contingent on environmental conditions that allow services to be provided. Weather permitting conditions are detailed at www.sjclp.com.

GUARANTEED COLLECTION SYSTEM aka SUBSCRIBER ID SYSTEM 

All subscribers will receive a marker identifying their address as a St Joe County Leaf Collection Subscriber. Subscription Markers identify subscribers and provide the sole compliant pile location so residents are always in compliance with collection rules. All subscription markers have a serial ID tag that matches the subscription address. Subscription markers will be installed by our Team and if removed at any time must be reinstalled for each collection pass in the exact location installed by our Team so the driver can easily identify your subscription address. If your subscription marker is taken you must notify the office for a replacement prior to your next collection pass. Subscriber is responsible the for replacement cost of marker, stand, delivery and reinstallation.  Leaves may be placed in locations along subscriber property lines contingent on following all other rules at www.sjclp.com.  

LAWN CLEANUP

Lawn cleanup is not included with curbside collection although it may be available in your specific township. Lawn to curb subscription includes bringing all leaves to the curbside coordinated with a vac crew to prevent blowing and drifting leaves. Subscription service purchased does not include lawn cleanup which must be quoted separately by email titled “Fall Lawn Cleanup”. Due to the continuous nature of falling leaves, you agree that if lawn cleanup is subscribed, the job is complete after SJCR has passed over the specified areas one time and no more than one time for one frequency. You agree that areas will not be leafless after service is provided and that leaves may re-cover the cleanup area as the frequency/service is being provided when leaves are rapidly falling during peak season. You understand and agree that leaves that are further than 5′ from the curb will not be collected.

LOCATION

All leaves must be located on the front grassy area along the curb but not in the street within 5’ of the curb or asphalt in the leaf “pile zone”. Leaves beyond 5’ from the curb or asphalt will not be removed due to potential lawn damage. You clearly understand and agree the frequency will be charged and counted as completed in the event your pile is beyond 5′ from the curb. SJCR shall not be liable to return for future pickup after the leaves are moved within the 5’ leaf “pile zone”, except at additional cost to the client paid in advance by credit card, unless future collection passes remain for that address. During snow contingency periods leaves must be raked into the street within 5′ of the curb. All leaves must be along the street on the curb and not on the grass for Spring pass. Leaves left on the lawn area in the Spring will not be collected.

LEAF PILE FRAUD – EXCLUSIVE USE

Your service subscription has been purchased solely for your address. Subscriptions combining leaves from two or more addresses, lots, parcels, etc. shall be disqualified and are non-refundable. Subscription purchase is required for every address. All leaves for the address must be on the front lawn area except during snow contingency periods. If anyone combines leaves into one pile from two or more addresses your non-refundable service will be disqualified from all remaining passes and your address will be disqualified from future participation. It is your responsibility to ensure that others do not add any leaves, of any volume to your pile. Service pictures and video is used to record your pile size during collections. If you have purchased a measured volume subscription you will be charged for leaves that are in excess of the subscription purchased for your address which has been based on historical volume for your address for measured subscriptions. Each address has a historical volume and in the event the current volume exceeds purchase price for disposal, you agree to pay for leaf volume in excess of subscription value. Current Organic Resource price per cubic yard will be used for leaf pile volume in excess of cubic yards allotted. Subscription value is divided by current Organic Resource rate for total cubic yards allotted for your subscription category.

ON DEMAND EXPRESS SERVICE SUBSCRIPTION –

All On Demand subscriptions are valid for only one collection pass and only for the date the subscription is purchased. All On Demand subscriptions require an underlying base subscription to qualify for an On Demand subscription. On Demand subscriptions cannot be used separately on their own. Return collection trips shall not occur. Leaves must be in a compliant pile at the curb by midnight on the day purchased for the collection. 

PAYMENTS

All payments are non-refundable. You agree and give SJCR your authorization to pre-authorize all balances owed SJCR. Service shall be paid in advance, online by credit card.

PRICING BASIS BY PARCEL QUANTITY AND TREE DENSITY

All pricing is based on a standard 22,000 sq ft county lot. More than 1 lot will be charged the price per lot for each and every lot based on the 22,000 sq ft pricing standard. You agree we may charge your credit card and you pre-authorize us to charge your credit card for any/all applicable charges as stated herein. Lots with 5 trees are very high density but a lot with 1 very mature oak tree (24″ caliper with a large canopy) may also be classified very high density. Low volume lots are associated with less than 3 trees that are ornamental in species and not shade trees.

HOA

Shall provide detailed lot maps showing the HOA members receiving services. Lot map shall be highlighted and attached to this agreement with a list of all resident contact information including first and last name, email address/es, subscription addresses, lot#’s and cell phone numbers for each resident/address including an HOA handbook to standardize communication as required. HOAs agree to post all scheduled passes on their HOA websites and notify all HOA members by email prior to each pass. If  the number of homeowners is higher than  the number specified, HOA agrees to pay an additional prorated cost per homeowner by credit card and authorizes SJCR to charge all payments as specified. Each and every resident subscribing through a group and/or HOA agrees that you are an authorized agent and can agree, authorize and commit payment in their name through association when subscribing as an HOA.  All HOAs agree and understand that Subscriber Markers are required and are considered a political sign for purposes of any HOA covenants. HOA Unlimited subscription rates are only valid through February 28th and any HOA subscription cost shall increase after that date to the current applicable rate at the time the subscriber purchases their subscription. HOA participation percentages for any purpose are based strictly on the HOA subscribers paid in full by February 28th for the coming fall season.  

SCHEDULE

You understand and agree you are solely responsible to have the leaves on the grass at  the curbside but not over the curb into the road, on the first day that pickup is scheduled for that pass. When SJCR passes by the address at any time during the scheduled period, the collection pass frequency is agreed to be complete, regardless of leaf quantity at the curb by the subscriber. Subscribers may choose to only rake leaves to the curb for one pass but all passes count as one frequency/pass whether or not you have leaves at the curb for that pass.  The scheduling is posted at www.sjclp.com and subject to weather permitting service. Passes are scheduled by weeks not days and collection passes during the peak season may require 3-5 weeks for county-wide service depending on the number of participants for that specific pass and leaf fall. Service periods for one pass are typically 7-10 days during off-peak periods. On-demand service is available for an added charge.

CURBSIDE DAMAGE

You indemnify & hold SJCR harmless and agree to a waiver of subrogation for any/all damage that leaves or cleanup operations may cause to lawn and/or curb areas at any time.

MISSES

You may “miss” a frequency/pass due to not raking your leaves to the curbside for the scheduled pass. All scheduled passes count whether you have raked leaves to the curb for collection or not. These “misses” are paid frequencies and will not be made up or repeated at any other time. You understand and agree that it is your sole responsibility to monitor www.sjclp.com for your schedule and you may choose to wait for later fall passes to rake your leaves to the curb “all at once”, but you solely risk weather preventing pickup until Spring.

BREACH

You understand and agree that if you are in breach of these terms at any time your subscription shall be canceled and is non-refundable. Depending on the breach you may be eligible to subscribe again at a future date.
