4.1 Transactional Text Message Communications
Scope and Purpose. Subject to your express written consent, Company may send transactional text messages to the mobile telephone number you provide in connection with your Account or services. Transactional messages include but are not limited to appointment confirmations, appointment reminders, technician dispatch notifications, arrival time updates, service completion notifications, billing statements, payment confirmations, account status updates, and other communications directly related to your existing business relationship with Company.
Consent Requirements. Your consent to receive transactional text messages is voluntary and is not a condition of purchasing goods or services from Company. Consent must be obtained through one of the following methods: (a) affirmative selection of an unchecked opt-in checkbox on our Website with clear disclosure language; (b) express verbal consent provided to our representatives and documented in your Account record; or (c) written authorization on a service agreement or other document with your signature or initials. Upon providing consent, you will receive a confirmation message outlining the terms of the text messaging program.
Message Frequency and Charges. You may receive up to four (4) transactional text messages per scheduled service appointment, plus additional account-related communications as reasonably necessary for business purposes. Messages are sent using automated technology. Standard message and data rates charged by your wireless carrier may apply to all messages sent to you and all messages sent by you in reply. Message delivery is subject to your wireless carrier’s coverage area and network availability.
Opt-Out Procedures. You may terminate your consent to receive transactional text messages at any time by: (a) replying “STOP” to any transactional message; (b) texting “HELP” for customer support information; (c) sending an email to customerservice@leecompany.com; or (d) calling us at [PHONE NUMBER].

Marketing Consent Requirements. Marketing text message consent is entirely separate from transactional consent and is wholly voluntary. Consent is not required as a condition of purchase or receipt of services from Company. Marketing consent must be obtained through express written consent that complies with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act), including but not limited to website opt-in forms, electronically signed service agreements, or other documented authorization. You may consent to transactional messages without consenting to marketing messages.
Marketing Message Terms. Marketing messages are sent using automated technology to the mobile number you designate. You will receive no more than four (4) marketing messages per calendar month unless you specifically request additional communications. Standard message and data rates may apply. Message delivery depends on carrier network availability.
Marketing Opt-Out Procedures. You may withdraw consent for marketing messages at any time by: replying “STOP” to any marketing message. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect your transactional message preferences or service relationship with Company.
4.3 Voice Communications Consent
By providing your telephone number to Company, you expressly consent to receive voice communications from Company and our authorized representatives, including communications made using automated telephone dialing systems, artificial voice, pre-recorded messages, or other automated technology, for purposes related to your service appointments, Account information, customer service, and other business communications. You may withdraw this consent by providing written notice to Company, provided that such withdrawal shall not affect Company’s right to communicate with you regarding urgent service matters or in response to your specific inquiries.
4.4 Email Communications
Company may send email communications to the email address you provide, including transactional emails related to your Account and services, and with your separate consent, marketing emails containing promotional offers and Company updates. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in each email, which shall not affect transactional email communications.
4.5 Privacy and Data Protection
Company will not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer your mobile telephone number or other contact information to third parties or affiliates for their direct marketing or promotional purposes without your express consent, except that Company may share such information with service providers, contractors, and agents who assist Company in providing services to you. For complete information regarding our privacy practices, please review our Privacy Policy.
4.6 Carrier and Technical Disclaimers
Text message and voice services are provided on an “as is” basis. Service availability depends on your wireless carrier and may not be available in all geographic areas at all times. Company makes no representations or warranties regarding message delivery, timing, or availability. Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You must use a text-messaging-enabled device and maintain wireless service to participate in text messaging programs.
- SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
5.1 Service Estimates and Pricing
All estimates provided by Company are preliminary and non-binding, subject to change based upon actual conditions discovered during performance of services. Company reserves the right to modify pricing based on scope changes, unforeseen circumstances, or material cost fluctuations. Final pricing shall be confirmed prior to commencement of work, and you shall have the right to accept or decline any changes to the original estimate.
5.2 Performance of Services
Company shall perform services in a workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. Service appointments are scheduled based on mutual agreement, and while Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to arrive within scheduled time windows, Company cannot guarantee precise arrival times due to the variable nature of service work. Company reserves the right to reschedule appointments due to weather, emergency situations, or other circumstances beyond Company’s reasonable control.
- PAYMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Payment for services is due upon completion unless alternative payment arrangements have been agreed to in writing. Company accepts payment methods as specified in service agreements or as otherwise communicated. All prices are subject to change without notice. You agree to pay all charges incurred in connection with your Account, including applicable taxes, fees, and surcharges. In the event of non-payment, Company reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and to engage collection agencies or pursue legal remedies.
- BINDING ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
7.1 Agreement to Arbitrate
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE WEBSITE, OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY COMPANY SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and applies to all disputes, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, or other relief.
7.2 Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, or through JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or through another arbitration service mutually acceptable to the parties. The arbitration shall take place in Davidson County, Tennessee, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. Each party shall bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees, and shall share equally the arbitrator’s fees and administrative costs, unless applicable law or the arbitration rules provide otherwise. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, Company will pay as much of the arbitrator’s fees and administrative costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.
7.3 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may pursue claims in small claims court if the claims qualify for such court’s jurisdiction. Additionally, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for matters relating to intellectual property infringement, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights.
7.4 Class Action and Representative Action Waiver
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION OR COURT PROCEEDING SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DISPUTE BETWEEN COMPANY AND YOU INDIVIDUALLY. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, (A) NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON A CLASS ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; AND (C) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR ANY OTHER PERSONS. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the entire arbitration provision shall be deemed null and void, and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
7.5 Severability of Arbitration Provision
If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and the remainder of the arbitration provision shall remain in full force and effect.
