Terms and Conditions

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the website treeservicecompton.com, requesting a quote, or engaging Direct Compton Tree Service ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") for any tree service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and continued use after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

Description of Services

Direct Compton Tree Service provides residential and commercial tree services in Compton, CA and surrounding areas, including tree removal, tree trimming, tree pruning, stump grinding, stump removal, land clearing, emergency tree service, and commercial tree service. The specific scope of work for each job is agreed upon in writing before work begins.

Estimates and Pricing

All estimates provided by Direct Compton Tree Service are based on an in-person assessment of the work site. Estimates are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated.

• Written estimates are not binding contracts until both parties sign a service agreement.
• Prices may change if the scope of work changes after the estimate is issued - for example, if additional hazards or access issues are discovered once work begins.
• Any changes to the agreed scope of work will be communicated to the customer before additional charges are incurred.
• Phone or online estimates are informal guidance only and not final pricing. Final pricing requires an in-person assessment.

Scheduling and Cancellation

Jobs are scheduled based on crew availability. We will do our best to accommodate your preferred timing. You agree to:

• Provide clear access to the work area on the scheduled date, including unlocking gates and clearing vehicles or obstacles from the work zone.
• Notify us at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule a confirmed appointment.
• Understand that cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may result in a cancellation fee to cover mobilization costs, as stated in your service agreement.
• Allow for reasonable schedule adjustments due to weather, equipment availability, or other circumstances outside our control. We will notify you promptly if we need to reschedule.

Payment Terms

Payment terms are specified in each service agreement. In general:

• Payment is due upon completion of the work unless a different arrangement is agreed upon in writing before the job begins.
• For larger jobs, a deposit may be required before scheduling. Deposit amounts and conditions will be stated in the service agreement.
• Accepted payment methods will be specified at the time of estimate. We do not accept payment through unofficial third-party apps unless explicitly agreed upon in writing.
• Past-due invoices may be subject to a late fee as specified in the service agreement.

Customer Responsibilities

By engaging our services, you agree to:

• Ensure you have legal authority to authorize the work on the property.
• Notify us of any underground utilities, sprinkler lines, septic systems, or other buried infrastructure in the work area before work begins.
• Keep children, pets, and all other persons out of the work zone during active operations.
• Obtain any required permits before work begins unless you have specifically engaged us to handle the permit application on your behalf.

Warranty and Workmanship

We stand behind the quality of our work. If you are not satisfied with the result, contact us within 5 business days of job completion and we will assess the concern. Warranty coverage is limited to workmanship defects directly caused by our crew and does not cover damage caused by weather events, acts of nature, or pre-existing conditions not identified in the scope of work.

Tree removal and trimming are irreversible services. We do not offer refunds for completed removal work. If a tree was removed in error due to a miscommunication, we will work with you in good faith to reach a fair resolution.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Direct Compton Tree Service shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to the services provided, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of use, or damage to property not directly caused by our crew during active work.

Our total liability for any claim arising from a single job shall not exceed the total amount paid by the customer for that specific job. This limitation does not apply to claims arising from our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Insurance

Direct Compton Tree Service maintains general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage as required by the State of California. Certificates of insurance are available upon request before work begins.

Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises from or relates to these terms or any service performed by Direct Compton Tree Service, we ask that you contact us first at sales@treeservicecompton.com or (424) 435-0838 to attempt informal resolution. If we cannot resolve the matter informally within 30 days, both parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in Compton, CA, under the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration provider. This provision does not prevent either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief in court.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Los Angeles County, California.
