HandymanZOO Guarantee

This Handyman Zoo Guarantee (the “Handyman Zoo Guarantee“) is a part of Your Handyman Zoo Membership and incorporated into Your Handyman Zoo Membership Benefits and Privileges Agreement (“Membership Agreement“) by this reference.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Your Membership Agreement.

Handyman Zoo, Inc. (“Handyman Zoo“, “We“, “Us“, or “Our”) stands behind its network of home repair service specialists (each a “Specialist”).  According to the terms and conditions established below, if You are not reasonably satisfied with the specialist who performed repair works at Your home, Handyman Zoo will seek to rectify the situation.  This is Our commitment to You, and together with the following terms, constitute the Handyman Zoo Guarantee.

Please Note: The Handyman Zoo Guarantee applies only in case if You have paid in in full, for any Service Job completed by a specialist via the Handyman Zoo Payment Processing System, via check payable to Handyman Zoo or via other authorized means.

 

The terms and conditions for the Handyman Zoo Guarantee are:

1. The Handyman Zoo Guarantee

1. Description. The Handyman Zoo Guarantee only applies to the scope of the Service Job (including only the part(s) or component(s) that were serviced, repaired, or replaced  during the Service Job) to which a Claim, defined below, relates and not to the item that was serviced, repaired or replaced more broadly.  For instance, if an item’s component that was repaired as part of the Service Job subsequently requires repair again within the defined period, the Handyman Zoo Guarantee applies to that component.  But if another component of the same item subsequently requires repair and that was out of scope of the Service Job, the Handyman Zoo Guarantee does not apply, and that subsequent repair shall be considered a new Service Job request.  If You are not reasonably satisfied with a specialist (or Handyman Zoo Associate), We will, in Our sole discretion:

• Send the initial specialist (or Handyman Zoo Associate) to Your job site to try to remedy the situation;
• Send a different Handyman Zoo specialist, at Our expense, to Your job site to try to remedy the situation; or
• Reimburse the sum You paid to Handyman Zoo for any work that We agree was deficient.

1. Additional Eligibility Requirements, Limitations and Exclusions. Apart from the eligibility requirements set forth in the Description above, to pursue a claim under the Handyman Zoo Guarantee (a “Claim”), You must be (a) in full compliance with the Handyman Zoo Terms of Use and Membership Agreement; (b) You must be 18 years of age and older (or the legal age of majority in Your state) and able to form legally binding contracts at the time of Your Service Job and neither You, nor any member of Your immediate family, nor any member of Your household, may be affiliated with Handyman Zoo, a specialist, or Handyman Zoo Associate who has performed the service in Your home; and (c) Your complaint must be reasonable; it may include: (i) poor quality of work by the specialist, or (ii) highly offensive or inappropriate behavior. A personal dislike for Your specialist (or Handyman Zoo Associate) is not a sufficient basis to claim the benefit of the Handyman Zoo Guarantee.  Apart from that, difficulties in scheduling, late start of repair services or a specialist’s responsiveness (or lack of thereof) are not a sufficient basis for “reasonable” complaint under the Handyman Zoo Guarantee.

 

In addition, the Handyman Zoo Guarantee does not apply for the following situations:

• If You materially alter or modify any equipment, parts, service or work provided by the specialist, except to the extent necessary to minimize damage to Your home/premises or such fix or repair was necessitated by exigent circumstances (such as power outage, loss of water, or water damage), as determined by Handyman Zoo in its sole discretion.
• If, at the time of the performance of the Service Job, You refused to follow the specialist’s (or Handyman Zoo Associate’s) recommendations to address any issues identified during the Service Job or other issues that may have been discovered during the performance of the Service Job.
• The Service Job was not performed.
• The Service Job was performed outside Your Member Benefit (e.g., the Handyman Zoo Home Repair Service) and/or not paid for through the Handyman Zoo Payment Processing System (unless otherwise instructed by Handyman Zoo).
• Any dissatisfaction with pricing for the Service Job provided by Us or with any Service Window limitations.
• Claims not documented in their entirety to Our satisfaction.
• Service Job was completed more than thirty (30) days in the case of an eligible Service Job backed by the specialist (or Handyman Zoo Associate) before date of filing a Claim.
• Claims caused by prior service or contractor not already covered by the Handyman Zoo Guarantee.
