Professional installation
In-season maintenance
Seasonal removal
Storage of holiday lighting materials
The specific services, products, pricing, and scheduling arrangements will be outlined in each customer's approved proposal.
2. Lighting Ownership Options
Deck The House Lighting offers two service options.
Option A — Seasonal Lighting Lease
Under the seasonal leasing option, Deck The House Lighting supplies the lighting materials and decorations for the duration of the contracted holiday season.
All supplied equipment, including bulbs, wiring, clips, timers, wreaths, garland, and other decorations, remains the exclusive property of Deck The House Lighting.
The seasonal service includes installation, routine in-season maintenance, removal, and storage unless otherwise specified in the proposal.
Customers may not sell, relocate, alter, remove, or dispose of leased equipment without written authorization.
The lease does not transfer ownership of materials to the customer.
Option B — Customer-Owned Lighting
Under the customer-ownership option, customers purchase designated commercial-grade holiday lighting products directly from Deck The House Lighting.
Ownership of purchased equipment transfers to the customer upon full payment, subject to the terms of the accepted proposal.
Installation, maintenance, removal, and storage services are provided as specified in the proposal.
Customer-owned equipment may be stored by Deck The House Lighting under a separate storage arrangement.
Future seasonal installations, maintenance, removal, and storage are not included unless expressly stated in writing.
3. Pricing and Payment Terms
All pricing is provided through a customized proposal based on the property's layout, design requirements, equipment, and labor.
A 50% deposit is required upon acceptance of the proposal to reserve installation capacity.
The remaining 50% balance is due upon completion of the initial installation unless otherwise specified in writing.
Additional charges may apply for customer-requested design modifications, additional materials, or services outside the approved scope. Such charges require customer approval.
Payments not received by their agreed due dates may result in delayed services or other remedies permitted by applicable law and the agreement.
4. Cancellations and Rescheduling
Customers are requested to provide at least 72 hours' notice before a scheduled installation if cancellation or rescheduling is necessary.
Deposits may be applied toward reasonable costs already incurred, including special-order materials, project preparation, and reserved installation capacity, subject to applicable law.
Any refund eligibility will depend on the circumstances of cancellation and applicable legal requirements.
If Deck The House Lighting cannot reasonably fulfill the contracted services, customers will be offered an alternative installation date or an appropriate refund for services not provided.
5. Installation Scheduling and Weather
Installation dates are scheduled based on crew availability, weather conditions, property access, and project requirements.
Deck The House Lighting reserves the right to postpone or suspend work when conditions are unsafe, including severe weather, lightning, high winds, ice, or hazardous roof conditions.
Installation dates and completion estimates are not guaranteed when affected by circumstances outside the company's reasonable control.
Customers will be notified of material scheduling changes as soon as reasonably practicable.
6. Property Access and Electrical Requirements
Customers agree to provide safe and reasonable access to the areas necessary for installation, maintenance, and removal.
Customers are responsible for providing suitable, functional electrical outlets and obtaining any necessary HOA or property management approvals.
Known electrical problems, damaged gutters, deteriorated roofing, structural defects, and other relevant hazards must be disclosed before installation.
Deck The House Lighting may decline work or request corrective action when property conditions present an unreasonable safety risk.

Deck The House Lighting uses professional installation practices and takes reasonable precautions to protect customer property.
Installations may involve clips, temporary fasteners, and other approved mounting methods.
Permanent alterations or penetrations to building surfaces require customer authorization.

Deck The House Lighting remains responsible for damage directly resulting from its negligence or misconduct to the extent required by applicable law.

Routine in-season maintenance is included during the contracted service period unless otherwise specified in the proposal.
Covered maintenance generally includes:
Replacement of failed company-supplied bulbs
Correction of ordinary lighting malfunctions
Adjustment of loose or displaced decorations under normal conditions
Repairs attributable to installation workmanship
Damage caused by vandalism, theft, animals, customer interference, misuse, or extraordinary weather events may require additional charges.
For customer-owned equipment, replacement materials are subject to applicable product warranties and the customer's selected maintenance coverage.
Deck The House Lighting will respond to service requests within a reasonable timeframe based on weather, safety, crew availability, and the nature of the issue.
9. Product Warranties
Commercial-grade products sold to customers may carry manufacturer warranties, as identified in the proposal or accompanying product documentation.
Deck The House Lighting does not guarantee that all purchased products carry the same warranty period or coverage.
Manufacturer warranty coverage does not automatically include labor, removal, reinstallation, transportation, or replacement of products damaged by misuse, external events, or normal wear.
Any additional workmanship warranty provided by Deck The House Lighting will be specified in writing.

Customers agree not to alter, relocate, disconnect, or modify installed equipment without authorization, except when reasonably necessary to address an immediate safety concern.
Customers may be responsible for reasonable repair or replacement costs for company-owned equipment lost or damaged through their negligence, intentional acts, or unauthorized modifications.
Damage caused by ordinary equipment failure or Deck The House Lighting's negligence will not be charged to the customer.

Holiday lighting services are contracted on a seasonal basis unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise.

Future installation dates, service pricing, and product availability are subject to a new proposal or renewal agreement.
