Snow removal agreement
____________
1. The property and the season
____________ (the Contractor) will clear snow at ____________ (the Property) for ____________ (the Client) from November 1, 2026 to April 15, 2027 (the Season).
2. What gets cleared
The Contractor will clear the driveway, including the windrow the city plow leaves at its end; front walkways and paths to the doors; and front steps and landings.
Snow is moved to the sides of the cleared areas, never onto a neighbour's property or the street.
Ice melt is spread on cleared walkways and steps when conditions call for it, at no extra charge.
3. When a visit happens
A visit happens when snowfall reaches 5 cm, measured at the Property. The Contractor will finish clearing within 12 hours after the snow stops falling.
During a long storm the Contractor may clear more than once. Snow that falls after a visit waits for the next one, and drifting alone does not start a visit unless the Client asks for one.
4. Price and payment
The price for the Season is $900.00, paid in 3 payments of $300.00: the first when this agreement is signed, and the rest on the first day of each following month. GST at 5% is added to each invoice.
The Season price covers every visit in the Season, however much or little it snows.
Invoices are due within 15 days of the invoice date.
5. The Client's part
Before the ground freezes, the Client marks the edges of the driveway and anything that could be hit under the snow: garden edging, rocks, sprinkler heads, low walls. The Contractor can mark them for the Client on request.
Vehicles, bins and other items are kept off the areas to be cleared. Areas the crew cannot reach are skipped on that visit.
Damage the Client believes the crew caused is reported within 7 days, with a photo if possible.
6. Damage and safety
The Contractor repairs, or pays to repair, damage the crew causes to marked items and to the cleared surfaces.
The Contractor is not responsible for damage to items that were not marked and could not be seen, for turf along cleared edges (raked and seeded in spring if reported), or for ice that forms after a visit from melting and refreezing.
The Contractor carries general liability insurance and will show proof of it on request.
7. Ending this agreement
Either side may end this agreement with 14 days' notice in writing, email included. The Client pays for visits made up to the end date, and the Season price is adjusted for the share of the Season that has passed.
This agreement is the whole agreement between the Client and the Contractor about clearing snow at the Property. Any change is made in writing and signed by both.
