3.Customer responsibilities
Access and site preparation: Customer must provide reasonable and safe access to the worksite, including clearing of gates and removal of vehicles, debris, or obstacles that impede work. Customer is responsible for notifying the Company of site-specific hazards (e.g., underground utilities, drainage tiles, septic systems, wells, shallow tanks, buried structures). Failure to Disclose Utilities or Hazards: JP Land Clearing Services is not responsible for any damages of unmarked or undisclosed utilities or obstacles. Repair costs are the responsibility of the property owner.

Payment cooperation: Customer agrees to make payments per Section 2 and cooperate with scheduling and site access to avoid additional charges.
4.Property and equipment liability disclaimer
Damage to vegetation and surfaces: Forestry mulching and land-clearing operations remove vegetation and may alter terrain. Company is not responsible for damage to vegetation, roots, sod, lawn, fencing, irrigation systems, landscaping, driveways, paved surfaces, underground features, utilities, drain tiles, septic systems, buried tanks, or other hidden items unless damage results from the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Equipment operation: The Company will use commercially reasonable care in operating equipment. However, given the nature of heavy equipment and uneven terrain, incidental contact with stumps, rocks, and vegetation may occur. Damage to fragile structures, small fixtures, or personal property is not the Company’s responsibility unless caused by the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Personal injury: The Company is not responsible for personal injury to persons on site who are not Company employees or authorized agents, except where caused by the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
5.SMS messaging and communications policy
Consent: By providing a mobile number, Customer consents to receive calls, texts, and messages from the Company regarding estimates, scheduling, confirmations, status updates, invoices, promotions, and service-related communications. Consent is not a condition of purchase.
Accuracy: Customer must provide accurate contact information and update the Company of changes.
6.Scope of Services and Service Limitations; No Warranty
All Services are provided “as-is” with no warranties, unless stated in writing. JP Land Clearing Services does not guarantee results impacted by weather, land conditions, wildlife, or natural regrowth.
7.Weather and Scheduling Delays
Service work depends on weather and site conditions. Bad weather or unsafe conditions (heavy rain, flooding, deep frost, high winds, wildfire risk, waterlogged or unstable ground) may delay, pause, change, or stop work for safety and equipment protection.
We will try to notify you of delays and reschedule promptly. We are not responsible for costs or damages from delays caused by weather, site conditions, labor or equipment issues, permits, or other events beyond our control.
If we find site conditions different than described or seen earlier (hidden debris, lots of rock, swampy ground, standing water), we may: (a) propose a scope or price change, (b) pause until the issue is fixed or a new plan is agreed, or (c) leave the job. Extra charges may apply for the added work needed to complete the job safely.
8.Cancellations and Rescheduling
Cancellations must be submitted in writing to joshuapettis2@gmail.com
Deposits for jobs $10,000+ are refundable if canceled 14+ days prior. Smaller jobs may be rescheduled one time at no cost if done 72+ hours in advance.
9.Limitation of Liability
The Company’s total liability for any claim related to the Services, whether by contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, is limited to the amount the Customer actually paid the Company for the Services that caused the claim, except where prohibited by law. The Company will not be liable for special, incidental, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, including loss of profits.
