## Cleaners / Service Providers — Terms & Conditions (Texas version)

*PLEASE NOTE:*
This is a legally binding agreement between you (“Service Provider,” “Contractor,” or “Cleaner”) and [Your Company Name] (doing business as “Prime Edge Cleans,” “the Platform,” “we/us”).
Do not accept unless you have read and fully understood it (and any referenced policies). We recommend you consult your own attorney. We may update this agreement; you agree it’s your responsibility to review changes.

### 1. Introduction & Scope

1. These terms govern your participation on our platform (website, app, software) to be matched with customers for cleaning services in Texas.
2. This agreement is between you and the Platform. It does not make you an employee of the Platform. You remain an independent contractor.
3. Any individual service (“Job”) is separately contracted between you and the Customer, subject to these terms and policies.

### 2. Registration & Qualifications

1. You must provide complete, accurate, non-misleading information during application.
2. You represent you are legally authorized to work in the U.S. (or specifically Texas), and can render services as an independent contractor.
3. You authorize us (or our agents) to perform background checks, reference checks, identity verification, and other screening as we reasonably deem necessary.
4. You must promptly inform us of any material change in your status (e.g. loss of license, insurance, criminal conviction, etc.)

### 3. Independent Contractor & Taxes

1. You acknowledge and agree that you are an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of ours.
2. You are solely responsible for paying all taxes (federal, state, local), self-employment tax, workers’ compensation (if applicable), insurance, and any other obligations arising from your earnings.
3. You indemnify us for any claims, assessments, or penalties resulting from your failure to meet such obligations, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

### 4. Insurance & Liability

1. While you provide services, you must maintain (and provide proof upon request) a general liability insurance policy (or equivalent coverage) covering property damage, bodily injury, and other risks, in an amount we may require.
2. If you damage a customer’s property while performing a Job, you are responsible and agree to reimburse or repair damages (subject to claims review).
3. We may require you to carry additional bonding or insurance (e.g. bonding against theft or loss) as a condition for participating.
4. You must promptly notify us of any claims, lawsuits or demands relating to your services.

### 5. Job Acceptance, Standards & Re-Cleans

1. When assigned a Job and you accept it, you agree to perform the work to high professional standards, consistent with industry norms and any specifications in the job request.
2. If the Customer raises a valid complaint (within a designated timeframe, e.g. 24-48 hours), you agree to return and re-clean at your own expense (unless you can demonstrate that the complaint was unreasonable).
3. If re-cleaning is not feasible (e.g. access refused), we may require you to reimburse the Customer or issue a partial refund — to be deducted from your payment.
4. You are responsible for supplying your own tools, equipment, cleaning supplies, unless agreed otherwise in the Job details.

### 6. Cancellations, No-Shows & Penalties

1. You must notify us and the Customer immediately if you become unable to perform a Job you accepted.
2. If you fail to show up or cancel late (as defined in policy), we may impose a penalty (e.g. deduct a cancellation fee or full Job amount) from your payment.
3. We reserve the right to disqualify or remove you from the platform for repeated no-shows or cancellations.

### 7. Customer Relationships & Exclusivity

1. All Jobs must be booked via the Platform. You agree not to solicit, contract with, or accept work from any Customer referred via the Platform outside the Platform arrangement, for a period (e.g. 6 months) after termination of this agreement.
2. If you violate that, we may terminate your access and pursue damages (not exceeding a cap such as three times the Job fee or a fixed dollar maximum).

### 8. Payment Terms

1. You set your service rates (subject to any platform minimums).
2. The Platform will collect payments from Customers and remit your share (less platform fees or deductions) on a schedule (e.g. bi-monthly or weekly).
3. We may withhold payment pending dispute resolution, damage claims, or refunds.
4. You understand and agree that payments are disbursed only after we deduct any fees, fines, or offsets resulting from claims.

### 9. Data & Confidentiality

1. You may access Customer contact or property information only for purposes of performance of Jobs and must keep all such data confidential.
2. You must delete or purge sensitive Customer data at our request.
3. You may not use any Platform IP or content except as needed to use the platform per this agreement.

### 10. Intellectual Property

All rights in the Platform, app, software, trademarks, branding, content, or any associated technology remain our property. You receive only a limited license to use the Platform in compliance with this Agreement.

### 11. Indemnification & Limitations

1. You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Platform and its officers, agents, and employees from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of this agreement, your negligence, or your acts or omissions.
2. To the maximum extent permitted by Texas law, our liability to you (in contract, tort, or otherwise) is limited to the fees you earned under this agreement in the prior six months. We will not be liable for indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages.
3. Nothing in this agreement excludes liability for personal injury, gross negligence, fraud, or other liability that cannot legally be limited under Texas law.

### 12. Term, Suspension & Termination

2. We may suspend or terminate your access at will for breach, misconduct, or other reasons.
3. You may terminate with (e.g.) 14 days’ written notice.
4. Upon termination you must cease representing yourself as affiliated with us, return any materials, and delete any app instances or proprietary tech.

### 13. Governing Law, Venue & Dispute Resolution

1. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding its conflict-of-law rules.
2. Any legal action must be filed in state or federal courts in Dallas County, Texas. (However, be aware Texas courts may limit enforcement of venue-selection clauses in certain consumer claims). ([National Law Review][1])
3. Optionally, include an arbitration clause or mediation clause (if you wish to require disputes be arbitrated), but be mindful of legal enforceability.
4. You waive any objection to personal jurisdiction or venue in those courts.

### 14. Miscellaneous

1. Severability: If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, the rest remain effective.
2. No waiver: Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.
3. Assignment: We may assign our rights; you may not without written consent.
4. Notices: We’ll contact you by email or via the platform; you must keep your contact info current.
