snow removal contract

This is a legal agreement between a corporation or two individuals that specifies the terms for removing snow from a property. You can contract with a company or individual to have snow removed from your home or business, such as clearing your driveway, shoveling the sidewalk, or clearing a parking lot. When a corporation enters into a contract, it might state in it that sidewalks and parking lots are free of ice and snow at a certain time of day. It can also simply be a written agreement without involving a lawyer or notarizing it by a notary public.

When completing a snow removal contract, there should be certain information included in the contract, including but not limited to:

• Property address for snow removal

• Name(s) of the person who owns the property

• The name, address and phone number of the company that is removing the snow.

• Contract period

• How much for snow removal?

• What the business is supposed to do, such as the driveway, sidewalks, etc.

• When is it supposed to be done?

• How much will it cost

• How payments should be made

• What will happen if the invoice is not paid?

One of the most important aspects of such a contract is the fee schedule. There is usually no set fee, but a price is set for each type of snow removal. You must also include how the services will be billed and when. Some companies want to be paid on the day of service, while others will bill you each month for services rendered. Choose the company that best suits the way bills are paid. This is important to know, especially in areas where there is sporadic snowfall.

Another important factor in such a contract is the timing of snow removal. Many times people may not care when their driveways or sidewalks are finished, but others do. This is especially true for companies, factories, restaurants, etc. They can be strict with snow removal. For example, a restaurant might want everything ready by the time it’s open and if it’s a particularly heavy snowfall, they might want it ready a couple of times throughout the day. It is important that parking lots and sidewalks are clear and free of snow and ice to prevent someone from falling. If someone falls, they could sue the company, so it’s important to know when it will be done and how often.

Following these simple rules and making sure the correct information is in the contract will help prevent problems later.
