General Service Terms
Appliances must remain assembled and installed until the technician arrives, unless otherwise approved in advance. Additional fees may apply.
Some issues are not immediately diagnosable. In cases such as faulty control boards, all other potential causes must be ruled out before confirmation.
Special-order parts may require an additional trip fee for return installation. No additional charge applies for regularly stocked or standard-ordered parts.
Appliances with unsafe conditions including unsafe venting, electrical, plumbing, gas, structural, sanitation, or access conditions may incur additional charges or refusal of service.
- Customer is responsible for providing safe and reasonable access to the appliance.
Appointments require access to the appliance and either (a) an adult present at the scheduled time or (b) prior authorization for entry without anyone present. If access is not provided, an appointment is missed, or changes are made with insufficient notice, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation or trip fee to recover lost time and scheduling costs. Any applicable fees may be charged to the customer or, for tenant-occupied properties, directly to the on-site tenant.
- We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue service at our discretion, including but not limited to unsafe working conditions, harassment, lack of access to the appliance, or situations that violate applicable laws or these Terms.

Laundry appliances are intended only for normal laundering of washable clothing, towels, bedding, and similar washable textiles. Customers must not wash or dry items contaminated with flammable materials, oils, solvents, chemicals, excessive debris, sharp objects, hard objects, pet waste, construction materials, or other materials that may damage the appliance or create unsafe conditions.
Customers are responsible for checking and emptying all clothing and laundry items prior to use or service. Damage caused by foreign objects including but not limited to coins, screws, nails, pens, tools, metal objects, lighters, ammunition, cosmetics, debris, or items left in pockets is not covered under warranty or liability.
Customers are responsible for maintaining safe, code-compliant utility connections and venting systems. Dryer vent systems must comply with applicable building codes, manufacturer requirements, and industry safety standards, including proper duct material, installation, support, routing, termination, airflow, and overall condition.
Making Mends LLC may refuse or discontinue service, installation, rental, activation, or reconnection where unsafe, damaged, restricted, non-compliant, or hazardous conditions exist.
