"All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'... -Matthew 5:37 NIV2011

• $150 minimum charge. This applies to parts orders, service, rentals, diagnostics, site surveys, etc.
• We require prior notice of any worksite hazards or requirements (i.e. hard hats, excessive mud, road hazards, roof access, etc).
• Because we are very rarely asked to accept payment using credit cards, our quotes, by default, will include a discount for cash and/or check (3%). As credit card purchases are not eligible for this cash discount, when requesting a quote for work to be paid by credit card, please specify that you do not want your cash discount. However, if you wish to retain your cash discount and still pay by credit card, you may issue a payment via Paypal to paypal@aaaagen.com, providing that all processing fees are borne by the sender.
• All related costs associated with complying with paperwork requirements that are above and beyond our normal offerings are additionally billable.*

• California’s Contractors’ State License Board (CSLB) often requires that certain verbiage be placed in residential contracts, depending on the type and scope of the project. Rather than use multiple contracts for different scenarios to satisfy CSLB requirements, AAAA Generator Services uses a full Home Improvement Contract for all residential services, regardless of type and scope.

Prior arrangements and written contracts supersede these terms and conditions, of course. 🙂
