  3. Materials. Upon Customer’s written or oral request, Company will provide Customer with a specimen label and material safety data sheet for each material used in the Service.
  4. Customer Cooperation. Customer acknowledges that the results of the Services are dependent upon Customer’s cooperation as to housekeeping, sanitation, maintenance, and accessibility of Service Locations. Customer agrees to cooperate with Company as necessary for Company to properly perform the Services. If, at the discretion of the Company, the Service Locations are unsuited for Services for reasons of housekeeping, sanitation, maintenance, or accessibility, Company reserves the right to reschedule a service until such a time as the Service Locations are suitable for the Services. By execution of this Agreement, the Customer hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the Service Locations are safe, secure and suitable for the Services. If the Customer or other occupants/individuals are or may be sensitive to pesticides/insecticides or their odors, Customer must notify Company in writing prior to Service. Company reserves the right, upon such notification, to deny or terminate service. If the technician arrives and is unable to enter the Service Location, or if the Service Location is not fully prepared for the Service, Customer is subject to a $50 trip fee unless Customer has given the Company notice in accordance with this Section.
  5. Rescheduling.

If areas at the Service Location are not accessible at the time the service technician arrives, the Company may choose to Service any accessible areas of the Service Location, if applicable, and leave a record of service for the Customer. If the Company is unable to access any portion of the Premises at the scheduled time due to Customer’s absence (or for any other reason), the Company may charge the full amount due for such treatment. If Customer requests, Company may choose, in its sole discretion, to service the other areas of the Service Location at an agreed upon time at no additional charge.
  6. Service Notifications.
