Making a booking

Cleaning Plan for Customers:

Our cleaning plans act in a similar way to a gym membership. If you commit to a minimum period of time, you will receive a discount. Please note that if you cancel your plan before the end of the minimum commitment, you will be subject to a cancellation fee. Note that if you just sign up to a regular weekly or fortnightly clean, you are not locked into a plan and can cancel at any time, full terms and conditions are below.
Minimum Commitment: If you have chosen one of the Simply Spotless cleaning plans with a 10%, 15%, or 20% discount, these options have a minimum commitment of 3 cleans. If you cancel the service before your third clean has been rendered, you will be required to pay an amount equal to the discount you received.
Rescheduling cleans: You can reschedule cleans up to 24 hours before the clean at no charge. If you make a cancellation within 24 hours of your clean, you will be charged a cancellation fee of $66, part of which may be allocated to the Crew member for loss of work.

To book a Job, the Customer must submit a Job Request from the Simply Spotless website.
The Job Request will be confirmed within 24 hours.
Simply Spotless does not guarantee that a Service Provider will accept any Job Request.

Undertaking the Job:

The Service Provider agrees to arrive at the Location on time (being the time specified by the Customer).
The Service Provider will undertake the Job to a professional standard. Where a Job is not completed to a satisfactory standard (as determined by Simply Spotless, at its sole discretion) the Service Provider will rectify the issue at the earliest availability.
Where the Job Fee includes the provision of Equipment & Materials, the Service Provider will ensure they have those with them. Otherwise, the Customer must ensure they have all necessary Equipment & Materials for the Service Provider to perform the Simply Spotless’ website Job.
The Customer must ensure that it provides the Service Provider with a safe working environment, whether in a domestic or commercial setting. Without limitation, the Customer agrees to safely restrain all animals, ensure that all electrical equipment is in safe working order (and approved for use), there are no dangerous environments (such as live exposed electricity), and there are no unannounced persons in the Location.
The Customer agrees that the Service Provider is not liable for minor wear and tear during a Job. The Service Provider shall not be liable for any breakage with a value under $100 if such breakage was genuinely accidental and occurred in the course of providing the Job. The Customer agrees that the Service Provider shall have the first right to rectify, repair or resupply services to remedy any damage or incomplete work.

Cancellations

The Customer may cancel any booking on the Simply Spotless website no less than 1 business day or 24 hours prior (for example, a Monday booking must be cancelled by 5.00pm on the previous Friday) without penalty or charge.
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a $66 cancellation fee. For NDIS services cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, the full fee will apply.
If the Service Providers arrive at a job booked by a Customer and, at no fault of their own, are unable to perform the job then the Customer will incur a $132 callout fee. For NDIS services the full job fee will apply. This callout fee applies to, but it not limited to, the following circumstances:

(a) The Service Providers cannot access the property because the Customer is either not present at the property to let them in or has forgotten to leave a key in a location which has been clearly described;

(b) The Service Providers do not have access to the facilities necessary to perform their job, such as water and electricity;

(c) The property is not completely empty prior to an end of lease clean (i.e. if any furniture, boxes, rubbish, or personal items are present);

(d) There are other people present at the property that that hinder the ability of the Service Providers to perform their job to the best of their ability (e.g. tradesmen, carpet cleaners, painters, etc.)

Where a Service Provider is unable to attend a Job, Simply Spotless shall use its best endeavours to find a replacement Service Provider, however if an alternate Service Provider cannot be found, Simply Spotless shall not be liable to the Customer (although no Job Fees will be charged).

Ratings

The Customer may use the rating system on the Simply Spotless website to rate and provide feedback on the Service Provider and each Job.
The Customer agrees to provide accurate information and to not unreasonably give a Service Provider or Job a low rating.
If the Customer is unsatisfied with the standard of a Job, the Customer must first discuss the matter with Simply Spotless and Simply Spotless shall endeavour to resolve the matter within 2 business days.

FEES, PAYMENTS AND REFUNDS

The Customer shall pay Simply Spotless the Job Fee for a Job undertaken by a Service Provider. Payment of the Job Fee will be charged to the Customer’s credit card the day after the Job has been completed. Card payments are due in full no later than 11 am on the day after the Service has been rendered.
In some cases, Customers may be invoiced for cleaning services and will be required to pay the Job Fee via bank transfer. This may apply to, but is not limited to, NDIS Cleaning Services and Office Cleaning Services. Customers agree to pay their invoices in full within 15 days of the Job.
Customers whose Job Fees are 30 days or more overdue shall pay a late payment administration fee in addition to the total Job Fee. The late payment administration fee owed on Job Fees 30 days or more overdue will be equal to 10% of the total Job Fee.
Customers agree not to pay Service Providers directly. Any work done in connection to payments made by Customers directly to Service Providers will void all guarantees and Simply Spotless will not be liable for any work performed in connection to the payment made directly to the Service Provider.
If the Customer does not pay Simply Spotless the Job Fee plus the 10% late payment administration fee within 90 from the date of the Job, then Simply Spotless will engage a debt collector and the Customer shall pay for the debt collection fees in addition to the Job Fee and the late payment administration fee owed.
Payment of Job Fees shall be made by Simply Spotless to Service Providers in accordance with the Service Agreement.
Simply Spotless will provide (at their own discretion) a refund or credit for the Job Fee (as appropriate) where, by no fault of the Customer, the Job is not performed or cannot be satisfactorily completed. Refunds will not be issued in any other circumstances except where required under law.
Customers who book an end of lease clean (also known as a “move in/out clean” or “bond clean” or an “End of Lease/Bond Clean”) will be entitled to a “bond back guarantee”. The guarantee is subject to these terms and conditions as outlined in clauses 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 and 41.
If any items on the bond cleaning checklist are omitted by the Service Provider, then the Service Provider will redo the omitted items free of charge.
If an item on the end of lease cleaning checklist is omitted, then the Customer is required to notify Simply Spotless via email within 72 hours of the completion of the end of lease. This email must clearly state all items on the checklist that were omitted and must also include photographs to support the claims that checklist items were omitted.
Service Providers will only be obligated to redo an end of lease clean once. Only the items clearly stated in the email sent by the Customer (as per clause 30) will be redone.
If a Customer fails to mention any items that were omitted within the email (as per clause 30), then the Service Providers will not be obligated to redo the items that the Customer failed to mention.
The bond back guarantee is only available for 72 hours immediately following the completion of a bond clean. Customers who notify Simply Spotless of quality related issues more than 72 hours after the completion of the end of lease clean will not be eligible for the bond back guarantee.
Customers acknowledge that we generally become fully booked days in advance. Consequently, if a re-clean is required then customers will allow us up to 5 business days days to organise the re-clean so as not to interfere with any other clients’ bookings.
Customers acknowledge that any Service Provider may not be able to remove stains present on any surfaces in the property. In no circumstance will a service Provider be sent back to redo a job in an attempt to remove stains from any surface. This includes re-doing carpet steam cleaning to remove stains, pet hair embedded in carpet fibres, remove urine or remove odours; steam cleaning carpets again can result in damage to the carpet or leave a bad odour due to the carpets not drying properly.
Customers acknowledge that the property must be completely free of any furniture, boxes, rubbish, and any personal items in order for an end of lease to be properly conducted. If any furniture, boxes, rubbish, or personal items are present at the time of the service, and the customer chooses for the service to be conducted anyway, then the bond back guarantee will be voided.
In some circumstances, the total labour hours estimated for a service may be incorrect. This can happen for various reasons, including, but not limited to, the condition of the property is worse than expected, the property is larger than expected, the property has more windows than average, the property has more than one kitchen, etc. If a bond clean requires more labour hours than estimated, then the customer will only be eligible for the bond back guarantee if they agree to pay for the additional labour hours that are needed to satisfactorily complete the job (as determined by Simply Spotless, at its sole discretion).
