PRESTISSIMO WINDOW CLEANING COMPANY
Effective Date: February 12, 2026
1. PARTIES
This Terms of Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between PRESTISSIMO WINDOW CLEANING Company (“PWC”) and the person or authorized agent of entity contracting service (“Client”) as of the date Client accepts these Terms (collectively the “Parties”).
2. SERVICES
PWC will perform the services requested in a written quote or other correspondence such as emails or text messages (“Services”). Services include only what is explicitly stated in the written quote. Any verbal estimates or discussions are non-binding until confirmed in writing. These Terms apply to all Services regardless of how PWC is engaged.
3. TIME OF COMPLETION
Services shall commence at a mutually agreed time or within an agreed-upon timeframe.
4. CANCELLATION AND RESCHEDULING
A. NOTICE:
If Client wishes to cancel or reschedule, please notify PWC as soon as possible to allow us to adjust our schedule.
B. CANCELLATION FEES:
Jobs under $5,000: No cancellation fee.
Jobs $5,000 and above: Cancellation with less than 48 hours notice may result in a $250 cancellation fee to cover lost scheduling opportunity.
C. RECURRING SERVICE AGREEMENTS:
May be cancelled anytime with reasonable advance notice. No penalty.
D. PWC DELAYS:
PWC may postpone Services due to weather, safety concerns, or equipment issues. Such delays do not constitute breach of contract. PWC is not liable for consequences of service delays.
5. WEATHER AND SEASONAL CONDITIONS
A. SEASONAL APPLICABILITY:
Services scheduled between October and May are subject to delays for freezing or prohibitively inclement weather. Gutters cannot be cleaned below freezing temperatures or when snow/ice is present.
B. WEATHER-DELAYED SERVICES:
If inclement weather delays service, PWC will resume work when conditions improve on a “first scheduled, first served” basis. One or more days of favorable weather does not guarantee PWC can immediately service all delayed jobs.
C. PWC DISCRETION:
PWC has sole discretion to determine what constitutes safe working conditions regarding weather, including but not limited to freezing, wind (>20 mph), hail, lightning, rain, or emergency declarations. PWC’s determination is final and not subject to dispute. Weather-related delays do not constitute breach of contract.
6. PAYMENT
A. PAYMENT DUE:
Payment is due upon completion of Services unless otherwise noted in quote. Invoices are sent via email or text unless paper copy is requested. Invoices become past due 7 days after issuance.
B. LATE PAYMENT:

C. COLLECTION COSTS:
Client agrees to pay all reasonable collection costs, including attorney fees, court costs, and collection agency fees, incurred in collecting past-due amounts.
D. RECURRING SERVICE SUSPENSION:
PWC may suspend service for any account with past-due balance until payment is received.
E. DISPUTED CHARGES:
Client must notify PWC of any disputed charges within 7 days of invoice. Failure to dispute within 7 days constitutes acceptance of charges.
7. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
A. NOTIFICATIONS BEFORE WORK COMMENCES:
Client must notify PWC in writing or via recorded electronic means of the following BEFORE service begins:
-
Any hazardous situations including exposed electricity, structural damage, weak spots on structure or roof, slippery surfaces, deteriorating materials, mold, or other dangerous conditions.
-
Window tint, specialty coatings, or materials sensitive to damage during cleaning, or objects with specific manufacturer cleaning instructions.
-
Windows, screens, gutters, or surrounding building materials in disrepair or fragile condition.
Client acknowledges that failure to provide written notice of these conditions constitutes assumption of risk for any resulting damage, and Client waives claims for damages from undisclosed conditions.
B. OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES:
Before service begins, Client must:
-
Move vehicles, furniture, or objects that will obstruct service provision.
-
Secure potentially dangerous pets during service.
-
Ensure trees, bushes, and landscaping are appropriately pruned to allow safe ladder access.
8. CLEANING PROTOCOLS
A. WINDOW CLEANING:
Unless otherwise noted, window cleaning includes only “routine window cleaning” as defined in IWCA/GANA Bulletins FB03-03 and FB01-00 (available at www.iwca.org or upon request).
Routine window cleaning includes detailed cleaning of glass with gentle detergent, strip washer, squeegee and towel, or water-fed pole. Services may include basic cleaning of sill, screen, frame, track, and hardware if specifically listed in quote.
Additional detailing or “non-routine window cleaning” as defined in IWCA/GANA Bulletins requires additional fee and may require specific request and additional waivers.
Non-routine staining NOT removed by routine cleaning includes: paint, stucco, mortar, caulk, sealant, tape, adhesive, animal stains, manufacturer’s protective wrap, stickers, mineral staining, and heavy soiling requiring razors, metallic wool, or caustic chemical agents.
B. WATER-FED POLE CLEANING:
Water-fed pole cleaning uses purified deionized water applied with extension pole brush and sprayer at low pressure. This method is sometimes insufficient to remove certain staining and may leave drip marks or brush marks.
Water-fed pole cleaning includes an “agitation” phase (brief brush agitation) and “rinse” phase (brief rinse). Certain staining or marks may persist after one agitation/rinse cycle. Client may request additional cycles at additional cost. Repeated cycles may not improve results.
PWC has sole discretion to determine when water-fed pole must be used due to safety, access, or technical issues. Client acknowledges that water-fed pole cleaning may not remove all staining and agrees to discuss any concerns with results before withholding payment, allowing PWC opportunity to address concerns or offer alternative methods at additional cost.
C. GUTTER CLEANING:
Gutter cleaning includes clearing horizontal gutters by hand, vacuum, or leaf blower at PWC’s sole discretion. Cleaning is functional rather than aesthetic; small amounts of debris may remain. PWC does not remove significant amounts of settled shingle dust, only organic matter.
PWC takes reasonable steps to ensure clear downspouts (blowing air through, tapping elbows). Due to complex nature of downspouts, PWC cannot guarantee 100% debris-free downspouts. PWC does not clear downspout portions underground or through obstructions (decks, walls).
PWC takes reasonable precautions to avoid debris falling onto ground. Incidental debris may fall onto surfaces (autos, driveways), which PWC will reasonably clean up.
PWC bags debris in Client’s choice of paper or plastic bags and leaves in reasonable place on site for Client’s disposal through municipal or other disposal services. Client is responsible for final disposal per local ordinances.
Additional fees may apply for: i. Third floor gutters or second floor walkout ii. Gutters obstructed by trees, landscaping, or difficult ladder access iii. Gutters requiring ladder taller than 28’ nominal iv. Gutters not cleaned in over 1 year with significant decomposed soil v. Offsite debris removal vi. Gutters with guards, modifications, or covers vii. Rooftop debris sweeping/clearing viii. Aesthetic gutter face cleaning ix. Water flushing or shingle dust removal x. Downspouts requiring disassembly xi. Specialty roofs (metal, cedar, flat, highly pitched) xii. Frozen gutters (partially or completely) xiii. Specialty gutters (extra large, copper, wood, PVC) xiv. Situations requiring special OSHA safety considerations xv. Gutter sections not visible via Google Maps when quote compiled via Google Maps
9. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
GENERAL PRINCIPLE: The following limitations acknowledge inherent risks of window cleaning and gutter services. PWC is not liable for damage resulting from these inherent conditions when using industry-standard care and techniques. These limitations do not apply to damage caused by gross negligence, recklessness, intentional misconduct, or failure to follow industry standards.
A. TINT, SPECIALTY COATINGS, AND SENSITIVE MATERIALS:
Client must alert PWC in writing of specialty materials prone to damage or bearing specific manufacturer cleaning instructions. PWC is not liable for damage to these surfaces unless alerted before service commencement via writing or recorded electronic means.
B. HISTORIC CONDITIONS OR EXISTING DISREPAIR:
PWC is not liable for damage to windows or gutters that are historic, worn, or in disrepair, provided PWC uses industry-standard care. Wood, paint, glazing, glass, weight mechanisms, and ropes are especially prone to damage. Client agrees damage results from worn condition, not negligence, when PWC uses proper techniques.
C. TEMPERED GLASS:
Due to inherent manufacturing defects in tempered glass causing scratching during cleaning, Client waives liability for scratches on tempered or heat-strengthened glass resulting from proper use of industry-standard tools (razor blades, scrapers, abrasives). Client acknowledges these tools can safely remove debris from quality, defect-free glass without scratching, but tempered glass manufacturing defects make scratching unavoidable even with proper technique.
D. OTHER WINDOW DAMAGE:
Client acknowledges the following inherent risks:
-
Pre-existing damage may be obscured by dirt and revealed by cleaning. Age and origin of scratches cannot be determined with certainty.
-
Windows and components may be fragile due to age, manufacturing defects, weather exposure, or building settlement.
-
Window removal/reinstallation carries risk of damage to screens, storms, sashes, and frames.
-
Building settlement may prevent disassembly of removable components.
PWC is not liable for scratching, IG unit failure, hardware damage, screen damage, or damage to paint, glazing, glass, or coatings resulting from these inherent conditions when using industry-standard care and techniques.
E. OBSTRUCTION DAMAGE:
Accessing work requires clear paths free from obstructions. Client agrees to remove obstructions before service. If obstructions remain, PWC may move objects to allow access.
PWC will use reasonable care when moving obstructions but is not liable for accidental damage to objects Client failed to move despite notification. This includes interior objects (furniture) and exterior objects (trees, outdoor furniture, vehicles, landscaping).
PWC is not liable for landscaping features (plants, branches) accidentally trampled or damaged during service provision when using reasonable access methods.
F. LADDER AND ACCESS DAMAGE:
PWC reserves right to access work by any safe method and may alter access method from that detailed in quote for safety reasons at sole discretion.
Accessing work with ladders is not a perfect scenario. Exterior building materials (vinyl siding, aluminum flashing, gutters, roof components) are not impervious to damage from even gently placed and padded ladders.
Client acknowledges ladders may rest directly on gutters and accepts this necessity. On interior surfaces (cathedral windows), ladders may rest on painted drywall or other surfaces potentially causing deterioration or staining.
PWC has sole discretion on where and how to safely place ladders. PWC is not liable for damage or staining to interior/exterior surfaces (gutters, siding, trim, window frames, wood, paint, drywall, building components) resulting from reasonable and industry-standard access methods.
Client consents to PWC accessing work via roof, including walking on roof and securing anchoring equipment on rooftop. PWC is not liable for damage to roof, shingles, or components when using industry-standard access methods and safety equipment per PWC Safety Plan.
PWC is not liable for accidental damage from unexpected ladder movement due to wind, slippery surfaces, or other unexpected factors beyond reasonable control.
G. DRIPS, DEBRIS, AND ACCIDENTAL STAINING:
PWC takes reasonable precautions but is not liable for errant drip marks, dirt, or debris from service provision, including: - Drips, dirt, debris on walls, floors, or other surfaces - Gutter debris staining fascia, siding, or pavement - Window cleaning solution or dirty water dripping onto drywall, paint, or other surfaces - Incidental dirt on floors or surfaces - Water damage from water-fed pole, including water accidentally entering building or walls - Water or ice damage from defective water connections, hoses, or water sources
H. WATER OR ICE DAMAGE FROM GUTTERS:
PWC is not liable for water or ice damage from gutters, provided gutters are cleaned according to industry standards. Due to gutter complexity, PWC does not guarantee 100% debris removal or that gutters will flow freely after service. PWC is not liable for damage from clogged or malfunctioning gutters, even if damage occurs shortly after service.
I. GUTTER GUARDS AND MODIFICATIONS:
Client acknowledges gutter guards requiring removal for cleaning have failed their primary objective. PWC is not liable for damage, distortion, or missing pieces from cleaning gutters with guards, modifications, or obstructions (roof overhang), or from disassembly/reassembly of guards, using reasonable care.
J. ATTEMPTED REPAIRS:
PWC is not a repair company. Any repair work performed at Client request is done for free or low cost, bears no warranty or guarantee. PWC is not liable for the repair itself or repercussions of attempted repair. Client agrees to contact licensed professional if repair is insufficient.
K. INSTALLED PRODUCTS:
PWC is not liable for failure of or damage caused by installed products (gutter guards, Gutter Stick™, downspout guards, other modifications). Third-party manufacturer warranties are separate from any PWC warranty. PWC may charge additional fee to replace or service warranted products. PWC is not liable for ice damming or water damage from installed products.
L. INFECTIOUS DISEASE:
PWC is not liable for potential spread of COVID-19, influenza, or other infectious disease or communicable illness resulting from service provision. PWC follows applicable health guidelines but cannot guarantee prevention of disease transmission.
M. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:
Client must notify PWC in writing of any known or suspected hazardous materials or conditions BEFORE service commences (per Section 7.A). This includes but is not limited to structural damage, deteriorating materials, mold, or unsafe conditions.
If Client provides notice, PWC will determine whether service can be safely provided using appropriate safety methods, or whether specialized remediation is required first.
If Client FAILS to provide notice of known hazardous conditions, Client assumes all liability for disturbance or exposure from service.
PWC is not liable for incidental disturbance of unknown hazardous materials when using industry-standard cleaning methods and safety procedures.
This limitation does not apply if PWC acts with gross negligence or willful disregard for safety after being notified of hazardous conditions.
N. SCOPE OF LIABILITY AND INSURANCE:
PWC carries general liability insurance as required by law. Certain damage types are excluded from standard general liability policies, including: - Damage to work product itself (windows being cleaned, gutters being serviced) - Faulty workmanship - Gradual deterioration - Pollution or contamination - Professional errors (estimates, recommendations)
Client acknowledges these exclusions. PWC’s liability is limited to damages covered by PWC’s insurance policy, with maximum liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence.
For damages outside insurance coverage, PWC’s liability is limited to amount paid by Client for the specific service causing damage, or $500, whichever is less.
O. VEHICULAR:
PWC is not liable for damage to property by vehicles (owned or hired) used to access property for service provision, when using reasonable care.
P. SAFETY AND BODILY INJURY:
Client acknowledges service work zones pose safety risks including falling objects, slippery surfaces, and overhead work. Client agrees to: - Keep safe distance from active work zones - Supervise children and pets during service - Follow any safety instructions from PWC crew
PWC maintains workers’ compensation insurance for employee injuries and general liability insurance for third-party injuries as required by law.
Client assumes risk of injury from: - Entering active work zone despite warnings - Failure to maintain safe distance - Disregarding safety instructions
This provision does not waive PWC’s liability for injuries caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.
