Cancellation and Rescheduling Fees

Spiderban Nelson Limited reserves the right to charge a cancellation or rescheduling fee of up to 20 percent of the total quoted cost of work booked in the event the customer cancels or reschedules part or all of that work later than 6pm the day before the work was scheduled to be done. Provision for this fee is in place to cover a portion of any resultant losses from the planned allocation of product, equipment, employee time, and unavailability of the booked time for other chargeable work.
A customer may give notice of cancellation or rescheduling in person to a Spiderban Nelson Limited employee; by phone conversation with a Spiderban Nelson Limited employee; via phone voice message; via mobile phone txt message or via email.

Commenced Work Stoppages - Customer Initiated:

Once work commences and can be completed by the attending technician(s) with the tools and products on hand, the full cost of the booked work may be charged in the event of a customer initiated request or order to cease work. The same shall apply where the customer's agent, employee, tenant or other such person requests or demands the work stoppage. The remainder of the work left undone may be rescheduled for another date/time by mutual agreement between the company and the customer. Additional charges, on top of the the full cost of the booked work stopped, will apply to any work taking place after the date work was stopped.

Weather Based Rescheduling and Cancellation:

Where the customer contacts us after 6:00pm the day before the work is scheduled to take place requesting or requiring us not to do the work at the agreed scheduled time because of wind or rain concerns (actual or forecast), Rescheduling or Cancellation fees (as noted above) will be charged.

Wind: As we are very experienced and adapt our treatment methods and use of equipment in line with the current wind conditions, we DO NOT proactively reschedule work if it is "a bit windy" in the customer's opinion.

Rain: Once the treatment is dry (30 minutes after application) rain is not a factor influencing treatment performance or longevity. Work will be carried out as scheduled in all cases except where Spiderban assesses rain to be such a significant factor that it may impact on pest control performance within the warranty period.

Limitation of Liability

Cats; Dogs; Birds; Fish; Other Household Pets; Bees; Plants; Trees:

In the event that illness, injury or other such perceived or diagnosed harm to a customer's cat(s), dog(s), bird(s), fish, any other household pet(s), bees, plants and/or trees, or death thereof, may be thought to or is reported by a veterinarian, apiarist, arborist, botanist or any other such appropriately qualified person to have been possibly or likely to have been brought about or caused by Spiderban Nelson Ltd ("the company"), it's employees or agents, by way of insecticide treatment of the interior living areas, exterior cladding, roof-space, under-floor/deck areas and/or section surrounding a property, including spray-drift to non-target areas, then any potential liability for such alleged harm will be limited to the lessor of a)a refund of all invoiced monies paid for the service(s) claimed to be at fault or b)$100.

Rodent, Rat, Mouse and Possum Servicing and Extermination

Rodent, rat, mouse and possum extermination work is carried out with the single objective of exterminating the CURRENTLY PRESENT population living inside a building, or in the spaces specifically defined within a building.

After extermination work is complete, it is the RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER to maintain rodent, rat, mouse and possum control for the building by:

- Purchasing, installing and servicing control equipment, or

- Contracting a pest control company to set up and service control equipment.

Spiderban can sell control equipment or set up and service control equipment depending on customer preference/needs.

This limitation of responsibility includes odors from decaying rodent, rat, mouse or possum carcasses and any related impacts, financial or otherwise, this may cause to the business/residents. Excluding those caught in traps or shot, where these methods are employed, recovery of rodent, rat, mouse and possum carcasses is NOT part of the service offered.

Spiderban retains ownership of all rodent, rat, mouse and possum control equipment placed/installed in and around the customer's property/premises.

The company reserves the right to charge the customer the full new replacement cost of any moved, removed, replaced, handled, lost, damaged or destroyed equipment.

The customer shall provide reasonable access to serviced areas of their property/premises for the purpose of Spiderban being able to service the placed/installed equipment on or about the time when service visits are due or for the recovery of placed/installed equipment after service arrangements have concluded. In the event that Spiderban is unable to organise with the customer the recovery of installed/placed equipment after the conclusion of service arrangements, and the company having made reasonable efforts to do so for a reasonable period of time, the full new replacement cost of unrecoverable equipment may be charged to the customer.

The customer consents to Spiderban using any of the following extermination and control methods at or around their property/premises: Poison baiting and Kill trapping. The type, form, method and placement of poison baiting and kill trapping employed shall be at the sole discretion of the company and its employees/agents. Use of firearms to exterminate and control possums will be discussed and agreed with the customer prior to this method being used.

All rodent, rat, mouse and possum servicing and extermination arrangements are entered into by the company on the basis that the customer has accepted the preceding points in their entirety.

All cockroach and other insect servicing and extermination arrangements are entered into by the company on the basis that the customer has accepted the preceding points in their entirety.

Borer Extermination and Control Treatments

Spiderban Nelson Ltd ("the company") is a pest extermination and control provider. It is not a provider of, nor does it represent itself as being, a provider of advice or opinion as to the structural soundness of, or suitability of treating any identified area(s) versus renovation/replacement. Accordingly, the quoted or carried out treatment of a property should not be relied upon as assurance of a property's suitability for purchase. Advice or opinion relating to the state of any part of a building with regard to borer damage and recommended action should be sought from a qualified building inspection professional and/or a structural engineer.

Treatment of the borer currently identified as present is provided as a pest extermination and control service. There is no advice or opinion offered or implied as to the state or soundness of the building materials identified as effected, nor whether treatment of the borer is a more suitable course of action than renovation/replacement. A qualified building inspection professional and/or a structural engineer should be consulted prior to making to the decision as to whether treatment of borer is the best course of action.

In the unlikely event of borer becoming/remaining established inside and around the extermination/control area(s) despite the treatment applied, the company will not accept any responsibility, financial or otherwise, for damage and impacts, alleged or actual, caused as a direct or indirect result of borer activity inside or around the treated area(s). The warranty provided covers the pest control work itself and covers re-treatment if necessary of any area(s) identified as requiring additional application at no additional cost for the life of the warranty period (subject to warranty terms and conditions below). There is no guarantee stated or implied as to the restoration or replacement of any building materials or the building itself including financial impacts relating thereto should the customer or their agent(s) provide evidence of further deterioration due to borer activity.

Borer treatment is provided in the area(s) identified and holes visible at the time of treatment. Where new activity is discovered in untreated areas or the emergence of new borer holes in untreated boards/through paint-work, there will be an additional cost associated with any treatment ordered by the customer

All borer extermination and control arrangements are entered into by the company on the basis that the customer has accepted the preceding points in their entirety.

Wasp Nest Extermination

Wasp nest extermination covers treatment of the ACCESSIBLE active wasp nest(s) currently present and identified on the building (or specific location on section) AT THE TIME OF THE WORK APPOINTMENT. All nest sites will be exterminated WHERE ACCESSIBLE. Some nest sites may not be accessible and may be unable to be treated effectivey as a result. High-reach treatment equipment may be used from the ground base where nest sites can not be practically and safely accessed otherwise. The price quoted will be charged where at least one wasp nest is exterminated. We can only exterminate nests that are practically and safely accessible. Inaccessible nests can not be effectively treated and may remain active after the work appointment.

Examples of inaccessible wasp nests include locations:

- requiring the attending technician to climb to a height exceeding 1.8 metres from the ladder base. This is deemed unsafe under Health and Safety legislation.

- requiring the attending technician to climb on to a roof or other high structure where the height of that structure exceeds 1.8 metres from the ground base. This is deemed unsafe under Health and Safety legislation.

- obscured by a structure or surrounding vegetation. This may prevent effective treatment.

- where no adequate access to the nest is available due to building construction and materials. This will prevent effective treatment.

- where the customer notifies in writing PRIOR TO WORK COMMENCING that the use of spraying/dusting equipment is not to be employed due to concerns regarding roof water contamination or spray residue on windows etc.

- where environmental or public safety factors preclude the safe application of necessary treatment for effective extermination.

The customer consents to the use of the following extermination methods: Insecticide spraying and dusting of nests as deemed appropriate by the attending technician. This includes the use of high-reach spraying/dusting equipment from the ground where nests are not practically or safely accessible by other means.

Extermination work often involves spraying and/or dusting above the gutter-line of buildings as this is frequently where wasps make their nests. YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF SCHEDULED WORK IF TREATING ABOVE THE GUTTER-LINE IS A PROBLEM. Work will proceed as planned on the assumption that there is no issue with treating above the gutter-line should no prior written notification stating otherwise be received.

In some cases there may be some treatment residue on windows as a necessary consequence of wasp extermination activities. Any visible treatment residue will not damage the windows and can be removed with standard window cleaning products and equipment.

Targeted Limited Application, Fumigation and Organic Treatment

Targeted Limited Application, Fumigation and Organic treatments are only suitable for extermination of pest insects CURRENTLY PRESENT in the specifically targeted area(s)/room(s). These treatment options are NOT SUITABLE for sustained control. Full warrantied residual chemical treatments are required for longer term control.

Targeted Limited Application, Fumigation and Organic treatments are delivered by way of:
- Application of product to defined specified areas
- Smoke/vapor Fumigation of a room/building, or
- Organic treatments (in place of a standard chemical solution)

Targeted Limited Application, Fumigation and Organic treatment will only clear out pests CURRENTLY PRESENT in one or more specified areas to which it is applied (e.g. applying ant bait to specific parts of a kitchen bench). As these treatments are not applied to the entire exterior and/or interior of the building(s), are non-residual in nature (such as smoke/vapor Fumigation) or are Organic NO WARRANTY is provided for the longevity or extent to which control can be achieved. Spiderban may, however, choose to provide a warranty by stating this in writing at the time of Booking or Quote. Any warranty provided will have defined limitations and will not be a standard warranty for the pest insect(s) concerned.

You will be charged for the treatment once it has been applied. The invoiced amount is for the application of the treatment at a fair price for the work involved. PEST INSECTS MAY RETURN TO THE AREA TREATED OR OTHER AREAS. ADDITIONAL CHARGES APPLY FOR FURTHER TREATMENTS TO THE SAME OR OTHER AREAS.

Where residual product is used, Targeted Limited Application or Organic treatment may generally resolve or help considerably with insect infestation problems for a period after the initial treatment is delivered. However, a warrantied standard chemical treatment of the entire exterior and/or interior of the building(s) concerned may be necessary to fully resolve the infestation issues for a sustained period of time.

Organic treatment options are only available by specific customer request on a case-by-case basis.

THE WARRANTY PROVIDED IS MADE UP OF THE DETAIL SPECIFICALLY NOTED BELOW COMBINED WITH ALL OTHER RELATED DETAIL AROUND THE TREATMENT CONCERNED. THIS INCLUDES RELEVANT INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS WELL AS ANY OTHER WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND THE COMPANY PRIOR TO WORK COMMENCING.

THE WARRANTY PROVIDED IS ONLY THAT PROVIDED FOR IN WRITING AS REFERENCED IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH. ACCORDINGLY, NO VERBAL OR OTHERWISE INFORMAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS HAVE ANY BEARING ON THE WARRANTY BEING PROVIDED. WARRANTY TERMS CAN ONLY BE VARIED IN WRITING BY COMPANY MANAGEMENT PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF SCHEDULED WORK.

THERE IS NO WARRANTY PROVIDED FOR "TARGETED LIMITED APPLICATION", "FUMIGATION" AND "ORGANIC" TREATMENTS. THIS IS COVERED IN DETAIL UNDER THESE HEADINGS ABOVE.

THE WARRANTY PROVIDED IS NOT A "GUARANTEE" IN THAT WE WILL RE-VISIT TO RE-APPLY TREATMENT AS REQUIRED BY THE RELATED TERMS. THERE IS THEREFORE NO PROVISION FOR A FULL OR PARTIAL REFUND OR THE EMPLOYMENT OF ANOTHER PEST CONTROL PROVIDER TO PROVIDE TREATMENT FOR THE SAME PEST(S) AT OUR COST, SHOULD THE TREATMENT NOT BE ENTIRELY TO YOUR SATISFACTION.

THE WARRANTY PROVIDED IS FOR THE PEST CONTROL TREATMENT ITSELF AND COVERS THE RE-TREATMENT OF AREAS IDENTIFIED AS REQUIRING ADDITIONAL TREATMENT APPLIED. IT DOES NOT COVER ANY DAMAGE OR LOSSES, ALLEGED OR ACTUAL, FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO THE EFFICACY, OR LACK THEREOF, OF THE INITIALLY APPLIED TREATMENT.

EXTERIOR TREATMENTS

Washing, water-blasting, chemical cleaning, painting, staining, re-cladding, re-surfacing, renovating and/or replacing any exterior part of the treated building(s) within the warranty period associated with the treatment(s) concerned may diminish the effectiveness of or remove the treatment(s). For Ant treatment, this also applies to (in addition to the above) earthworks, landscaping, re-turfing, re-surfacing and/or paving of or on the immediate surrounding section, as well as washing, water-blasting, chemical cleaning, painting, staining, renovating and/or replacing any outdoor surface within the treated area(s). For Borer treatments the above conditions apply specifically to the treated wooden parts of the home/building being replaced with new materials.

The warranty provided with any treatment(s) may be effected or invalidated if the treated areas are subject to any of the the above activities.

INTERIOR TREATMENTS

Washing, chemical cleaning, painting, wall-papering, staining, re-cladding, re-surfacing, renovating and/or replacing any interior part of the treated building(s) within the warranty period associated with the treatment(s) concerned may diminish the effectiveness of or remove the treatment(s).

For Borer treatments the above conditions apply specifically to the treated wooden parts of the home/building being replaced with new materials.

The warranty provided with any treatment(s) may be effected or invalidated if the treated areas are subject to any of the the above activities.

Window Cleaning - Spiders Outside Treatment:

There will be some over-spray and/or runs on windows after exterior spider treatment. This is an unavoidable consequence of doing a thorough job. The spray will not stain the windows and is easily removed with a damp cloth or squeegee. Windows can be cleaned the day after treatment. Care should be taken when cleaning windows not to have liquid running down the side of the building as this can diminish the effectiveness of the spider treatment below the windows.

Cobwebs - Spiders Outside Treatment:

PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT REMOVE COBWEBS FROM BUILDINGS PRIOR TO TREATMENT.
If a building has a considerable quantity of established cobwebs on it, we would recommend a light building wash prior to treatment.
However, with all the spiders on the building(s) dead from the treatment, the untended webs will deteriorate anyway through natural process. There will be no live spiders or new webs on the building(s) after treatment for at least the warranty period.

Treatment Above Gutter-Line - Spiders Outside Treatment:

Spider control treatment may involve spraying above the gutter-line of buildings where house structures to be treated are situated above this level. There may also be some over-spray above the gutter-line as a consequence of thoroughly treating the sides of roof guttering and flashing. YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF SCHEDULED WORK IF TREATING ABOVE THE GUTTER-LINE IS A PROBLEM. Work will proceed as planned on the assumption that there is no issue with treating above the gutter-line should no prior written notification stating otherwise be received.

Treatment Day Preparation - Outside Treatment:

The customer must make sure washing is not hanging on the line and anything they would prefer not to be treated is moved outside the treatment area (i.e. at least 3-4 metres away).

Any items present within the target treatment area may be treated directly or indirectly in the course of treating the building(s).

Fish ponds need to be completely covered to lower the risk of unintended exposure of fish to the treatment. The customer should cover ponds or provide adequate covers for the ponds. Uncovered ponds are at the customer's risk. SPIDERBAN ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR HARM TO FISH DUE TO INADEQUATE COVERING OF PONDS OR INADEQUATE PROVISION FOR COVERING OF PONDS.

Bee hives (own or hired) should be moved at least 10 metres away from the building(s) being treated. This will prevent unintended exposure of hives to treatment. Bee hives located less than 10 metres from the building(s) are at the customer's risk.

House Preparation - Inside Treatment:

Important Note: Any item or surface that is not covered or put away in a closed container or cupboard may be treated directly or indirectly in the course of treating the inside of the building(s). Work will proceed as scheduled on the basis that the customer has covered or put away everything they do not wish to be exposed to the planned treatment.

Pets: All household pets (cats, dogs, birds) must be out of the house and prevented from regaining access until the customer re-enters the house at the notified safe time. Fish tanks must be completely covered with at least two layers with the filter TURNED OFF. Work will proceed as scheduled assuming that the customer has made provision for pets as above.
