5. Rodent/Nuisance Animal Exclusion – This Agreement does not cover, and Truly Green Pest Control is not responsible for, damage to property caused by rodents, or any damage resulting from rodents or pests gaining access to structures due to improperly fitted garage doors or broken/leaking plumbing lines or by cracks in foundation or siding materials. The Customer agrees to make all necessary repairs and/or eliminate faulty conditions as documented on the exclusion survey. The Customer agrees to maintain the home’s structure free from any factors contributing to infestation, such as trash accumulation, readily accessible food sources, vegetation growth and water damage. At no time will damage caused to any portion of the Customer’s structure be the responsibility of Truly Green Pest Control except as provided herein.
Existing Damage: Truly Green Pest Control is not responsible and has no duty to repair or disclose either visible damage (noted on the Inspection Report), or hidden damage existing as of the date of this Agreement. Because damage may be present in areas that are inaccessible to visual inspection, Truly Green Pest Control does not guarantee that the damage disclosed on the Inspection Report represents all the existing damage as of the date of this Agreement.
Conducive Conditions: The Customer agrees to maintain the structure free from any factors contributing to infestation, such as debris, lumber, and direct wood to soil contact and standing water. The Customer agrees to notify Truly Green Pest Control of any leaks under the areas treated and to eliminate faulty plumbing. At no time will damage caused to any portion of the structure(s), even by an active wood destroying insect infestation, be the responsibility of Truly Green Pest Control in areas where any of the conditions described in this paragraph exist. The Customer agrees to allow Truly Green Pest Control access to treat the structure and/or stations as necessary to control the infestation within 45 days of discovery of termites.
Additions, Alterations, and Other Changes: This Agreement covers the structure(s) identified and agreed upon by the Parties beginning on the date of the initial service. Customer agrees to notify Truly Green Pest Control in writing prior to the structure being modified, altered or otherwise changed, or if the soil is removed or added around the foundation or if tampering with termite stations or supplies occurs. Roof or siding repair, replacement or other structural remodeling may result in additional work being required at an additional cost. Failure to notify Truly Green Pest Control in writing will void this Agreement. Truly Green Pest Control may be required provide additional services at the Customer’s expense because of additions, alterations or other such events to the structure.
Bed Bug Warranty for Preventative Treatments: Charges will apply for heat treatments during the first 6 months of a preventative program. Should a Bed Bug infestation be discovered after 6 months of treatment, the infestation will be treated at no additional charge as deemed necessary by Truly Green Pest Control using a combination of methods to eliminate the Bed Bugs. Customer must notify Truly Green Pest Control if any new or additional mattresses and encasements must be installed in order to maintain the Bed Bug warranty.
Sensitivity: If Customer or other occupants of the structure(s), or adjacent buildings, believe they are or may be sensitive to pesticides or treatment odors, or if Customer or other occupants have consulted with a medical doctor or other healthcare provider regarding such sensitivity, Customer must notify Truly Green Pest Control in writing, in advance of treatment of the structure(s). Truly Green Pest Control reserves the right, upon receipt of such notification, to deny or terminate service. Failure to provide such notification represents Customer’s assumption of risk and Customer waives any claims against Truly Green Pest Control in connection with such sensitivity.
Adverse Health Effects Disclaimer: Truly Green Pest Control specifically disclaims any and all liability for any illnesses and/or diseases contracted or allegedly contracted by exposure to insects and/or spiders and/or treatment materials such as pesticides. Those include but are not limited to allergic reactions, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, West Nile Virus, Malaria, Encephalitis and Dengue Fever. Truly Green Pest Control is not medically trained to diagnose insect and/or spider borne and/or pesticide exposure related illnesses or diseases. Please consult your physician for any medical diagnosis and treatment.
Customer Commitment: Rodent/nuisance animal eradication services may result in the death of an animal inside the home in an area that is not accessible to the service technician (i.e. wall voids, etc.).

Should you experience this type of odor, this condition is usually only temporary and will resolve itself within a short period of time.
Transfer of Ownership: This Agreement will terminate upon transfer of ownership of the described structure(s). However, Truly Green Pest Control , at its sole discretion, may allow a transfer of the Agreement to a new purchaser provided the new Customer signs a transfer addendum, pays a fee to cover the administrative costs of the transfer, and pays the renewal cost as established by Truly Green Pest Control . Upon transfer of this Agreement to a new owner, Truly Green Pest Control shall thereafter provide for the re-treatment of the covered structure only.
Termite Transfer: This service can be transferred to a new owner for a fee, providing there is no interruption of service and the new owner signs a new service agreement with Truly Green Pest Control . If a wood destroying insect report is ever required, Truly Green Pest Control can provide one for an additional fee.
Disclaimer: Truly Green Pest Control’s liability under this Agreement will be terminated if Truly Green Pest Control is prevented from fulfilling its responsibilities under the terms of this Agreement by reason of delays in transportation, shortages of fuel and/or materials, strikes, embargoes, fires, quarantine restrictions, or any other act of God or circumstances or cause beyond the control of Truly Green Pest Control. Truly Green Pest Control specifically disclaims any liability for special, incidental or consequential damages allegedly incurred by Customer.

Change of Law: Truly Green Pest Control performs its service in accordance with the requirements of Federal, State, and Local laws or regulations.
