Terms of Service
Last Updated: July 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing our website and utilizing the preliminary services of Private Estate Clearing LLC, you agree to these Terms of Service.
2. Description of Service & Timelines
Private Estate Clearing LLC operates strictly as an estate logistics and project management firm. We coordinate full property clearouts utilizing independent B2B hauling entities for the heavy extraction. Our standard operational target is a 72-hour completion window. High-volume estates or restricted-access properties may require a custom timeline, which will be explicitly agreed upon in writing before any operations begin. We do not provide deep cleaning, hazardous waste removal, or appliance sanitization.
3. Estimates vs. Binding Contracts
All preliminary quotes provided remotely (via video, photo, web form, or text) are estimates only and do not constitute a binding legal agreement. A project is only officially booked once the final Client Agreement is digitally signed via DocuSign and the Scheduling Retainer is paid.
4. SMS & Media Consent
By submitting your information, texting us, or uploading photos/videos, you grant us permission to review this media and share it with independent commercial hauling entities strictly for the purpose of generating your logistical quote. You also provide express written consent to receive text messages and emails regarding your inquiry, project updates, and logistics. Standard message and data rates apply. You may reply "STOP" to opt-out at any time.
5. Excluded Items
To comply with state and federal regulations, our scope of work strictly excludes the management, transport, or disposal of titled assets (vehicles, boats, RVs, trailers), firearms, ammunition, live animals, and bulk hazardous waste (e.g., toxic chemicals, severe biohazards).
6. Incidental Discoveries & Document Privacy
Our rapid clearing operations do not include targeted searches for specific items. To protect confidentiality, we simply facilitate the transfer of any incidental sensitive documents discovered to a third-party NAID-certified destruction facility (limited to one standard 64-gallon container). Because we do not provide individual document screening or records management, clients hold the Company harmless for any undiscovered information inadvertently disposed of as standard debris. For high-volume records, we can connect you with a local shredding specialist.
7. Site Safety & Access
To ensure safety and meet our 72-hour timeline, the property must remain completely vacant of family, tenants, and the general public during our scheduled operations. No uncoordinated visitors are permitted while our crews are on-site.
8. Scheduling, Payments, and Refund Policy
To officially secure your project calendar block, a $500 Scheduling Retainer is required, which is applied directly toward your final balance. If you need to cancel, please notify us at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled start date for a full refund of this retainer. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the start date will result in forfeiture of the retainer. Once our team arrives and operations commence on Day 1, the final project balance is processed and becomes non-refundable. We are committed to excellent service, so if any unexpected issues arise, we kindly ask that you contact us directly to reach a resolution before contacting your credit card provider.
9. Limitation of Liability & Governing Law
Maximum liability for any claim arising from the use of this website or preliminary quoting shall not exceed the total project amount paid. These Terms are governed exclusively by the laws of the State of California, with venue residing in Fresno County.
