Company is a Platform
Company acts as a platform to allow landscaping and lawn care providers who comply with Company’s policies to connect with other users who may desire landscaping or lawn care services. Users can submit a request (a “Request“) for a Landscaper or Lawn Care Provider to provide aeration, edging, fertilization services, hand weeding, lawn care, lawn mowing, mulch installs, soil testing, string trimming or overseeding (the “Services“). You will receive price quote for the fee that will apply to completing your Request (the “Services Fee“). Once you submit the payment information for the Request, your Request will be sent out to our network of Landscape and Lawn Care Providers. You will receive a notification through the A.I.R. Platform when a Landscape or Lawn Care Provider has accepted your Request, and you will be able to communicate with that Landscape or Lawn Care Provider through the A.I.R. Platform to confirm and coordinate certain logistics involved with completing your Request.
For more information about the A.I.R. Platform, please see our FAQs at the bottom of our website.
Company is not directly involved in any transactions between users. As a result, Company has no control over the quality of the landscaping or lawn care services provided by the landscaping or lawn care providers or the truth or accuracy of the information provided by users, or the ability of landscaping or lawn care providers to complete landscaping or lawn care services in a timely manner, if at all.
Company cannot guarantee the true identity, age, and nationality of an user. Company encourages users to communicate directly through the tools available on the Services. You may also wish to consider independent user verification or using a third-party service that provides additional user verification.
You agree that Company is a platform and as such is not responsible or liable for any lawn care services or other content posted by you, other users, or third parties on the Services. Your use of the Services is at your own risk.
Membership Eligibility

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful. Company may, in its sole discretion, refuse to offer access to or use of the Services to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time. This provision is void where prohibited by law and the right to access the Services is revoked in those jurisdictions.
Individuals under the age of 18 must at all times use the Services only in conjunction with and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age. In all cases, the adult is the user and is responsible for any and all activities.

Prohibited, Questionable and Infringing Activities

- be false, inaccurate or misleading;

- be obscene or contain child pornography; and
- contain or transmit any code of a destructive nature that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information.
Confirmation
Booking a service online doesn’t guarantee you a spot for that date/time. You will be contacted by email or phone with a confirmation.
Payment for Services
You must provide credit card information to submit a Request. You are responsible for paying the applicable Services Fee for any completed Services. Once you submit a Request, we will place a temporary hold on the credit card account you provided in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Services Fee. Once you and the landscaping or lawn care provider have verified that the Services are completed, you will have the option of paying an additional gratuity (a “Tip“) to the landscaping or lawn care provider, and your credit card account will be charged for the sum of the Services Fee, any Tip, and the fees for any additional services you may request.
You agree to make all payments to the landscaper or lawn care provider through the A.I.R. Platform and will not pay any landscaper or lawn care provider in cash or means other than directly through the A.I.R. Platform.
Cancellation or Unable to Access
If you cancel any Request: (a) before a Landscaping or Lawn Care provider accepts it, or (b) after it has been accepted by a Landscaping or Lawn Care provider but more than 24 hours before the Services are to be performed, you will not be charged, and the hold will be lifted on your credit card. If you cancel any Request less than 24 hours before the Services are to be performed, your credit card account will be charged 20% of the applicable Services Fee.
In the instance where the Landscaping or Lawn Care Provider attempts to fulfill the Request but cannot do so for reasons out of the Landscaping or Lawn Care Provider’s or A.I.R.’s control, your credit card will be charged 50% of the applicable Services Fee.
Direct Hiring of Our Landscapers or Lawn Care Providers
A.I.R. invests heavily in training methods and background screenings to find quality landscaping and lawn care providers. Hiring our current or ex-provider(s), and/or accepting side propositions, makes you liable for an employment referral fee of $5,000.00 if you directly employ (legally or cash basis) anyone currently or formerly employed by us within the two year period prior to such employment. By using our service, you agree to notify us of any attempts to solicit or accept illegal business, otherwise; Attorney, Legal and miscellaneous expenses incurred to investigate and/or collect this fee will be added if this employment is discovered. Exchanging contact info is considered part of this breach. Unless complying with all laws; direct, unreported, or inappropriate employment practices are illegal. You acknowledge being informed that A.I.R. is obligated to report illegal hiring activities. In fact, anyone may report this to the proper government and judicial authorities so investigation ensues. Implication, complicity, or withholding knowledge of illegal activity is not only prosecutable by A.I.R. (when applicable), but also by United States federal and local laws.
Right to Refuse Service
Landscaping and lawn care providers have the choice to leave upon arrival if the landscape or lawn is in extreme condition or they feel unsafe/threatened. If you book a service online that is unreasonable the landscape and lawn care providers may refuse service on the spot and you will be charged the maximum cancellation fee.
Price Adjustments
If the pricing calculator underestimates the price of your landscaping or lawn care services because the condition of your landscape or lawn is much worse than predicted or because you did not input the accurate information into our online pricing calculator, we will first inform you by call and email. We do have permission to adjust the price, charge the landscaping or lawn care hourly, or refuse the service. Client agrees to pay landscaping or lawn care provider’s parking cost, if incurred.
Recurring Price Structure
Recurring clients receive discount after their first landscaping or lawn care service. If you skip service so that your service’s frequency is lower than what you were set up for, your price will be increased to the pricing level for the lower frequency.
Provider Safety
A.I.R. reserves the right to remove its providers from your property should the environment become unsafe. Our cancellation policy will apply.
Pets
We will gladly work around pets. If your pet becomes anxious or presents a safety concern, A.I.R. reserves the right to remove its providers from your home. If an landscape or lawn care provider leaves your home prior to completion, A.I.R. will charge you a pro-rated expense based on work performed. If removal of our landscaping or lawn care provider is due to aggressive pets, our cancellation policy will apply.
Right to Photograph Landscaping and Lawn Care Work
Users shall permit landscaping and lawn care providers employed or engaged by A.I.R., without compensation or consideration to user, to take photographs at the users property of both completed work and work in progress, for purposes including, but not limited to, job status reports, publication in newspapers, magazines, and other print media, use in broadcast media, publication via the Internet, and use in marketing materials used by A.I.R.. Such photographs and any accompanying descriptions shall not identify the user or the property address of the user without the express written consent of the user.
Breakage/Damage and Loss Policy
Customers must provide images of damage of both before and after the landscaping or lawn care, along with proof that damages were caused at the time of the landscaping or lawn care. All claims must be made within 24 hours of the landscaping or lawn care service. Once the office receives the notification, we will contact you as soon as possible. If we do not hear from you within the next 30 days, we will assume you do not want to have us resolve the issue and the situation will void. Identical replacement is always attempted but not guaranteed. For this specific reason, A.I.R. requests all irreplaceable items (whether monetarily or sentimentally valued) be marked and/or not be in our landscaping and lawn care providers working area. A.I.R. is not responsible for the breakage of these irreplaceable items. A.I.R. is not responsible for damage due to faulty and/or improper installation of any item. A.I.R. is not responsible for the replacement or repair of any of your personal property that may be damaged by a Landscape or Lawn Provider while performing the Services.

A.I.R. does not offer refunds or discounts, but we absolutely guarantee the quality of service by fixing any quality issues and optimizing the landscaping and/or lawn care in the future. Any re-service can only be done with the same landscaping or lawn care provider(s) unless there is a schedule conflict for the provider and only within the first 72 hours of the landscaping and/or lawn care. If you are at home and you notice that the landscaping or lawn care provider overlooked something please immediately tell the landscaping or lawn care provider to redo the work or call our office before the provider leaves your home.
