3.1 Bookings for Services can be made by the Client through the booking methods made available by the Company from time to time. By placing a booking request, the Client confirms that all details provided are accurate, complete, and up to date.

4.1 All prices for Services will be communicated to the Client before or at the time of booking. Prices may be provided as hourly rates, fixed fees, or a combination of both, depending on the nature of the Services.

If the condition, size, or use of the Premises is significantly different from what was described, the Company reserves the right to revise the quotation accordingly.
4.3 Any special requirements, such as heavy duty cleaning, specialist stain removal, or dealing with excessive waste, may incur additional charges which will be communicated to the Client whenever reasonably practicable.
4.4 The Company may review and update its prices from time to time. For ongoing or recurring services, the Company will provide reasonable notice of any price changes.

6.4 If the Cleaner is unable to access the Premises at the agreed time due to reasons within the Client's control, such as incorrect keys, locked gates, or absence of an authorised person where required, this may be treated as a late cancellation and a fee may apply.
