7. Cancellation of Service:
7.1. When scheduling service with us, we specifically take time out a technician's day to call on your location and service your product. When you forget, cancel, or change your appointment without giving enough notice, we miss the opportunity to fill that appointment time, and clients on our waitlist miss the opportunity to receive services which in turn results in a loss of revenue which cannot be recovered. Consequently, we reserve the right to charge equal to 100% of the service call amount for any appointment missed, canceled, or changed without 8 business hours’ notice or otherwise mutually agreed.
7.2. If the job was canceled by the customer after an estimate was approved by the customer and necessary parts were ordered specifically for the job - Fridge Repair PRO requires the penalty to be paid in full: 20% restocking fee from the full price of the ordered parts, plus double shipping fee $100 (shipping to our location and sending back to supplier). The customer is obligated to pay the penalty in full. Service call fee is non-refundable by the policy of our company. If the customer has made a deposit and cancels the order, then the refund amount will be calculated based on the terms of clause 7.2 of the agreement. The difference between the deposit and the penalty must be paid to the customer in full within ten working days after the customer's request for cancellation, by the same method that the deposit was paid. The company does not support any other way to return the remaining amount.
7.3. If the customer does not agree to pay the amount of the penalty, or fails to pay the amount of the penalty in full, the company reserves the opportunity to apply to the court and to the collection company. The unpaid amount automatically becomes the customer's debt to the company. All costs for the collection and work of other persons or companies to collect the debt of the customer is the customer-debtor's responsibility to pay in full. The client is obligated to pay the penalty in full.
