iii. With the use of the Site(s), Customer and Customer Personnel might have the ability to link to other, non-MTC Internet content and to upload their own non-MTC provided content, programs and materials at the Site(s) for use by Customer and Customer Personnel.  Customer shall be solely responsible for obtaining access authorization from any and all content sources Customer chooses to utilize that are not MTC or an MTC Sub, and Customer shall indemnify and hold MTC, all MTC Parties and all MTC Subs harmless from any and all costs, expenses, injuries, damages and claims that are attributable to any use of content, programs and materials uploaded or linked by or through Customer or any of the Customer Personnel and not directly by MTC or an MTC Sub.  MTC has no control over such third-party sites or the content within them.  MTC cannot and does not guarantee, represent or warrant that the content contained in such third-party sites is accurate, legal or inoffensive.

4. Compensation.  

a. Compensation for Services.  For access to and use of the Site(s) and Services, Customer shall provide to MTC compensation for the Services as defined and referenced in each Order accepted and confirmed by MTC.  Initial payment or an initial deposit, as dictated in such Order, must be received by MTC as a condition precedent to MTC’s acceptance and confirmation of an Order, and MTC shall not under any circumstances be bound to any Order unless and until such payment or deposit is received by MTC, and MTC then accepts and confirms the corresponding Order. If Customer signs up for a recurring Service, and cancels after the initial cleaning, MTC has the right to bill the credit card on file for the price difference of a one-time cleaning service.

a.1. Unable to Render Services.    In the event that MTC is unable to render Services and the client did not notify MTC (i.e. trash bins are not curbside, client is out of town and failed to call the office in advance to reschedule, etc.) MTC has the right to retain payment for Services that were unable to be rendered and charge an additional ten dollar ($10) Trip Charge to compensate for time and fuel at MTC’s discretion.

a.2. Automatic Billing. All recurring Services must be set-up on automatic billing to avoid service interruptions due to non-payment.

a.3. Cancellations and Rescheduling of Recurring Services. In the event that the Client needs to cancel or reschedule a scheduled service, the client will be responsible to call/text the MTC office 480.999.0445 to avoid a trip charge from being assessed to their account. If the client goes more than four weeks off their regular schedule, the Client must pay a service price difference, accordingly, to get back on their regular schedule (i.e. Monthly Service price plus $7 if more than 4 weeks from last service, Bi-Monthly Service price plus $10 if more than 4 weeks from last service, & Quarterly Service price plus $13 if more than 4 weeks from last service, so on and so forth.) The price difference amount can vary depending on the last service date and the service plan the Client signed up for. If the Client does not communicate with MTC and cancels or skips 2 or more concurrent cleanings, MTC will assume the Client no longer wants to continue recurring services and MTC has the right to cancel the Client’s schedule without notice. The Client will then be responsible for contacting MTC to restart service and the Client will be responsible for paying any associated fees or remaining balances from prior services before a new schedule is created. If the Client goes more than 3 months from receiving a recurring service, the Client will be responsible to pay the full amount ($55.98) of an initial cleaning fee to get back on their regular schedule. Last but not least, if the Client would like to pause their recurring services (i.e snowbirds, trash cans don’t smell during the winter months, etc.) the Client is responsible to contact the office of MTC to make those arrangements.

b. Timing and Manner of Payment.  Timing of payments shall be as set forth in each corresponding Order.  Customer(s) shall make payment for the total amount invoiced, except as otherwise approved by MTC in its sole discretion.  Such payment shall be directed to MTC in person or else by mail at the address set forth in the corresponding Order, to the attention of Maricopa Trash Can-itizer. In the event any payment amount is not received by MTC within thirty (30) calendar days after such payment is due, Customer shall owe to MTC a late fee in the amount of twenty five dollars ($25) and not paid for each month it remains unpaid, which Customer acknowledges is a reasonable estimate of otherwise difficult to calculate damages and administrative costs associated with untimely payment.  In the event any payment is not received by MTC within thirty (30) calendar days after such payment is due, MTC may but is not obligated to deactivate the Site(s) as to Customer and any or all Customer Personnel as a non-exclusive remedy for default under these Terms, such remedy to be in addition to MTC’s right to terminate the Customer Account and access by Customer and/or any Customer Personnel to the Site(s) and Services, and to exercise any other right or remedy at law or in equity.  In the event of any deactivation, Customer must pay to MTC a reactivation fee of $100.00, together with all amounts due and owing under invoices to date, in order to regain access to the Site(s) and reestablish the Customer Account.

c. Effect of Payment.  Except as provided in these Terms, any payment to MTC under these Terms shall operate as a release of any claims which Customer may be entitled to make in relation to Services that are covered by such payment.

5. Independent Contractor.  No relationship of employment is created by these Terms, it being understood that in agreeing to these Terms and providing Services hereunder, MTC is at all times acting and performing solely as an independent contractor.  Neither MTC nor Customer is authorized to be the agent or legal representative of the other for any purpose whatsoever.  Neither MTC nor Customer shall have the authority or power to make any commitments of any responsibility expressed or implied in the name of the other or to assume or create any obligation or shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the other.  All employment, insurance and tax matters and filings shall be handled accordingly. 

6.

Applicable Law.  All claims and disputes related to these Terms shall be settled in accordance with the Dispute Resolution provisions set forth in Section 13 of these Terms.  Interpretation and performance of these Terms shall be in accordance with and pursuant to the substantive laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. 

13. Dispute Resolution.  Any dispute, controversy or claim that may arise under or in relation to these Terms, or any interpretation or enforcement of these Terms, or any transactions or other matters contemplated hereunder (each, a “Dispute”, and collectively, “Disputes”) shall be submitted to a mediator located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area, or in Maricopa County or Pinal County, Arizona, prior to any arbitration or other action.  The mediator’s fees and expenses shall be shared equally by the parties, who agree to exercise their best efforts in good faith to resolve all disputes in mediation.  Mediation begins on the date one party sends written notice to the other requesting mediation and presenting in the notice the matter to be mediated.  The mediation shall conclude when all parties thereto sign an agreement that resolves the subject of the mediation.  If no agreement is reached within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of the original written notice, the mediation is considered unsuccessful.  In the event any Dispute cannot be settled by the parties informally or through mediation, the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration before a mutually agreeable arbitrator in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area, or in Maricopa County or Pinal County, Arizona.  In the event the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the presiding judge of the Superior Court of Pinal County or Maricopa County, Arizona, shall decide who the arbitrator shall be.  The arbitrator shall have the discretion to enter any award permissible under applicable law, and such award shall be enforceable exclusively in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area, or in Maricopa County or Pinal County, Arizona.  Customer hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts located in Maricopa and Pinal County, Arizona, for such purpose.  CUSTOMER ALSO HEREBY WAIVES RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.  Should any arbitration or other legal proceeding concerning any provision of these Terms or the rights and duties of any person or entity in relation hereto be commenced among the parties, or should any party institute any proceeding in a bankruptcy or similar court which has jurisdiction over any party or any or all of such other party's property, the party or parties prevailing in such arbitration or proceeding shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum for their attorneys’ fees and court costs in such arbitration or proceeding which fees and costs shall be determined by the arbitrator or court, as the case may be, in such proceeding or in a separate action brought for that purpose.

14. Miscellaneous Provisions.  

a. Assignment.  None of a party's rights, obligations or claims under or with respect to these Terms or the Services may be assigned, in whole or in part, by such party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  

b. Invalid Provisions / Severability.  If any provision of these Terms is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable; these Terms shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part (t)hereof; and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or its severance from these Terms.  Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part hereof a provision as similar in terms, but in any event no more restrictive than, such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

c. Inconsistency Among Terms.  Except as expressly otherwise provided in these Terms, where any provision or term, in whole or in part, of any contract documents related to these Terms conflicts with or is inconsistent with the express provisions of these Terms, then the provisions of these Terms shall control, and the provisions or terms of the related contract documents shall be deemed to be inapplicable and void.  

d. Entire Agreement.  These Terms, together with all accepted and confirmed Orders and other documents, agreements and undertakings incorporated herein and integrated herewith by reference, represent the entire agreement between MTC and Customer and modify and supersede any prior agreements executed by MTC and Customer with respect to the subject matter hereof.  There are no promises, terms, conditions, or obligations between Customer and MTC other than those contained or otherwise referenced (t)herein.    

e. Modification.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, these Terms may not be changed, modified, or amended without the written consent of an actually authorized representative of both MTC and Customer.

f. No Waiver.  Failure on the part of MTC to complain of any act or failure to act of another party or to declare another party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by MTC of its rights hereunder.  Any waiver by MTC of any default of another party shall not affect or impair any right arising from any other or subsequent default.  Nothing herein shall limit MTC’s remedies and rights under and pursuant to these Terms.

g. Interpretation; Construction.  The headings set forth in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting these Terms.  They are not to be construed as a part of these Terms, and they in no way define, limit or amplify the provisions of these Terms.  These Terms have been drafted by legal counsel representing MTC, but Customer has had an opportunity to review these Terms and have it reviewed by legal counsel, if desired, and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of these Terms.

h. Injunctive Relief.  Customer recognizes and agrees that a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of these Terms will constitute immediate and irreparable harm to MTC’s valuable business relations, for which damages cannot be readily calculated and for which damages and other remedies at law constitute an inadequate remedy.  In the event that Customer or any Customer Party attempts or threatens to violate any obligations under such Sections 6 and 7, above, MTC shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to it, the right to injunctive relief enjoining any further breaches by Customer or such Customer Party, as the case may be, and notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 12 and 13, above, MTC shall be entitled to seek such relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in Maricopa or Pinal County, Arizona, without the need to prove damages.  Customer hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose and agrees that in the event such relief is granted, Customer shall also pay MTC’s reasonable attorney’s fees in connection with the same.  

i. Force Majeure.  MTC shall not under any circumstances be liable for any damages or penalty for any delay in performance of, or failure to perform, any obligation hereunder or for failure to give Customer prior notice thereof when such delay or failure is due to the elements, acts of God, government regulation, political instability, acts of war, acts of terrorism, power outages, changes in law, internet disruption, disease, viruses, bacteria, epidemics, pandemics or health threats as declared by a government or health care agency, or other causes beyond MTC’s control.

j. Notices.  Any notice to be given under these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when personally served, when mailed by certified or registered mail, or when submitted by verifiable electronic mail, addressed to the Customer’s address and to MTC’s address as designated on the most recent accepted and confirmed Order or as set forth in connection with the Customer Account, to the attention of those designated therein.  The addresses and/or contact points may be changed from time to time by either Customer or MTC by serving notice as provided in this Section 14(j). 

k. Survival.  The respective rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 1(c), 3(c)(iii), 5 through 10 and 12 through 14 of these Terms, as well as the last two sentences of Section 2(c) and the last three sentences of Section 11 of these Terms, shall survive the termination of the Customer Account and access by Customer and Customer Personnel to the Site(s) and Services.
