2. Description of Services

Odd Job is a fully licensed, insured and bonded professional handyman service company. Odd Job mobile workshops are designed to facilitate Technicians to work in various locations and to allow them to fit in tight spaces.

3. Consultation

Clients will provide Odd Job with a detailed list of tasks and pictures of repairs needed and Odd Job will create an Estimate based on the details that have been provided by the Client. Based on the complexity of the Project, Odd Job has the authority to have a Senior Project Manager investigate, analyze and assess the Project before commencement, including an on-site consultation. Once the Project details are finalized, an on-line Estimate is created and sent to the client for their approval and signature.

3.1 Onsite Consultation

For an on-site consultation, a Senior Project Manager will meet with the Client on-site to discuss the details of the Project. Odd Job also offers on-site consultation upon the Client’s request. Any Senior Project Manager on-site consultation has a fee of $60.00 + HST. This fee will be rebated on final invoices of Projects of over $5,000.00 before taxes. Credit card information is required prior to booking an on-site consultation. For larger Projects, a job budget range must also be pre-qualified before an on-site consultation can be scheduled.

3.2 Estimates

Due to the variable nature of the construction industry, OddJob provides Estimates and not quotes. Estimates are calculated based on the details and information provided by the Client or on Project Manager notes taken at an on-site consultation with the Client.

By accepting an Estimate provided by Odd Job, you are acknowledging that Estimates are subject to change based on the actual job completed and time consumed. Technician(s) will discuss any changes while on-site, and Odd Job will then issue an updated Estimate on any add-ons or changes in orders over $375.00. By signing the Estimate, the Client agrees to pay for all requested services contained within the Estimate as well as any additional charges that may be incurred in order to complete the Project. The Client authorizes Odd Job to pre-authorize a charge to the Client’s credit card based on the approved Estimate. The final invoice will reflect any changes to the Project which may result from Add-on Requests as outlined in section 3.3, environmental factors, incomplete information from Client or any unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of Odd Job. Due to these circumstances, Odd Job may be required to make additional visits. If any additional visits cannot be scheduled for Odd Job within 3 weeks, Odd Job will invoice for work completed to date and a new estimate will be created for any additional visits beyond the previously invoiced date.

3.3 Add-on Requests/Change Orders

On-site requests for additional work by the Client, not contained in the approved work order shall be automatically deemed to be approved by the Client (the “Add-on Requests”). Add-on Requests will only be accommodated if a) the Technician and/or Contractor has the time (request must be able to be completed within 15 minutes or is being completed in place of another task that cannot be completed for whatever reason); and b) Technician and/or Contractor must have the required skills set and materials to accommodate the Add-on Requests. Odd Job reserves the right to refuse any Add-on Requests not contained in the approved work order.

3.4 Deposit

For Estimates between $500.00 and $10,000.00, a 50% deposit is required prior to Odd Job commencing the Project.

For Estimates over $10 000.00, the following deposit structure will be applied:

• 33% deposit required prior to the start of the Project;
• 33% at half way to completion of the Project;
• Remainder at the completion of Project

4. Cancellation / Rescheduling by the Client

The client may cancel a request, an estimate or a scheduled job, without penalty prior to the 24-hour window.

If the client cancels/reschedules a job within 24 hours of a scheduled appointment/visit, a cancellation fee will apply in the form of a minimum charge based on the number of Technicians assigned to the canceled/rescheduled job as outlined in section 4.2, Minimum Cancellation Charge. The minimum cancellation charge as set out in section 4.2 may be modified, and the terms of the cancellation/rescheduling changed at any time in the sole and absolute discretion of Odd Job.

Odd Job reserves the right to charge the Client’s credit card for all applicable fees in accordance with section 4.

4.1 Cancellation / Rescheduling by Odd Job

Odd Job shall not be responsible to the Client for any failure, in whole or in part, to perform any obligations hereunder, to the extent and for the length of time that performance is rendered impossible or commercially impractical, owing to any one or more of the following: acts of God; natural disasters; public insurrections; war; terrorist attack; strikes; lockouts; vehicle failures or accidents; or labour disputes not related to any breach of any labour contract or unfair labour practice by Odd Job; embargo; and/or other circumstances of substantially similar character beyond the reasonable control of Odd Job. In the event of any of the foregoing, Odd Job will make reasonable efforts to notify the Client of the event and, when reasonably practicable, reschedule the appointment with the Client.

Odd Job may also cancel or stop any work required to be completed outdoors due to cold or hot weather conditions as outlined below, taking into account any wind chill factors:

• -10 degrees celsius or below: job will be rescheduled
• 0 to -10 degrees celsius: maximum of 2 hours
• Over 35 degrees celsius: job will be rescheduled
• 30 to 35 degrees celsius: maximum 4 hours

In the event that Odd Job cancels/reschedules a job in accordance with this section, it will not be subject to any form of penalty and/or cancellation charge.

4.2 Minimum Cancellation Charge

1 hour for a Junior Technician = $90 + HST
1 hour for a Senior Technician = $110 + HST
1 hour for 2 Technician (regardless of designation) = $160 + HST

The Client acknowledges, understands and agrees that the aforementioned minimum cancellation charge (based on the number of technicians assigned to the job) will be applied in circumstances as outlined in section 4. Odd Job reserves the right to apply the cost of materials in addition to the minimum cancellation charge.

5. Confirmation

A confirmation email is sent out to Clients 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment/visit. Client is required to confirm by clicking the link provided in the confirmation email. Client understands and acknowledges that a lack of confirmation will not be considered a cancellation or a request to cancel or reschedule.

6. MATERIALS AND LABOUR PROVIDED

Finishing materials should be provided by the Client to ensure your own satisfaction. Client has the option to request that Odd Job provide the finishing materials. In the event the finishing materials are requested from Odd Job, a sourcing fee of $60.00 + HST will be applied to the final invoice, in addition to the cost of the materials purchased. By requesting Odd Job to select and purchase the finishing materials, the Client is authorizing Odd Job to make its own decisions in relation to materials, and the Client waives its right to make or bring any claims or action against Odd Job due to the materials selected by Odd Job.
Specialty and/or custom materials which are sourced and purchased by Odd Job will be subject to an hourly Sourcing Charge Premium by the Contractor/Project Manager and this Premium will be added to the final invoice.

In the event a Client requests that work be completed over multiple visits, then additional Services Call Charges will be applied for each visit.

9. MINIMUM CHARGE

Odd Job will apply a minimum charge for all jobs requiring less than one hour to complete. This minimum charge is based on the number of technicians required to complete the requested task. Any cost of materials will be charged separately.

10. CLIENT SIGN-OFF

Odd Job requires the Client to sign off electronically on work completed by Odd Job. The same person who signed off for the Estimate must sign off for the work completed. If, for any reason, a person other than the person who signed off for the Estimate signs off for the work completed, the Client waives any and all rights to raise any concerns regarding the amount or quality of the work performed. By signing off on the work completed, the Client acknowledges that a) the work has been completed as of the date of the signature; and b) the final invoice will be paid within 30 days or the credit card on file will be charged accordingly.

11. PAYMENT TERMS
