Extra charges will be awarded to our staff/us for any further work offered to us which will be at a place other than mentioned by the customer.
  • HomeGlitz will provide workers/cleaners, cleaning materials, and equipment, and will strive to provide our services to the best of our abilities and in a professional manner.
  • HomeGlitz will provide cleaning materials and equipment. However, if the customer insists on providing cleaning materials/equipment, then these should be in working order and should not be hazardous.

  • HomeGlitz will provide cleaning materials and equipment. However, if the customer insists on providing cleaning materials/equipment, then these should be in working order and should not be hazardous.

  • The customer should also move any fragile, breakable, or precious items (such as showpieces, drawings, sculptures, and paintings, etc.) prior to the start of cleaning work. HomeGlitz will not be responsible for any damage or loss caused to such items during home cleaning.
SAFE AND SOUND WORKING ENVIRONMENT FREE FROM ANY DANGER TO WORKERS' HEALTH:
In furtherance of the previous terms and conditions, it is the customer's responsibility to agree to the following conditions:
  • To allow HomeGlitz or any of its authorized agents to tour the premises to be cleaned to ensure a safe working environment. If any worker/cleaner is injured due to a fact/danger/hazard that was not disclosed to HomeGlitz or its agent, the customer will be liable to pay damages and appropriate legal remedies.
  • That in case any chemical or cleaning material provided by the customer poses a serious health risk or is dangerous to human health and safety, the worker/cleaner may refuse to use such material. In that case, the worker/cleaner will not be forced to use such material and will not be liable for any damages.
  • In the case of longer working engagements or contracts, the customer acknowledges that they will not engage with any other cleaning service provider without prior notice to HomeGlitz. If any customer does so, they will be liable for damages as agreed upon between the parties.
PRICE CALCULATION:
  • The price of the work will be calculated based on the measurement and counting of rooms and parts/stories of the house/buildings.
  • Any price quoted or tendered by HomeGlitz is based on previous estimates and professional experience available on HomeGlitz's website. It is deemed that the customer has agreed to the price/quote tendered by HomeGlitz.
  • In case the cost of work increases during a project, the contractor (HomeGlitz) will inform the customer about this fact. If the customer agrees to the increased rate of work, then the work will be completed; otherwise, the customer will have no issue as to the completion of the work up to the limit of the amount paid only.
MODE OF PAYMENT:
  • Online Payment by Credit Card: The customer will tender their online payment link at the time of booking on the official website of HomeGlitz. Any delay in payment will make such a customer liable for damages for each day and charges of debt collection and connected measures adopted by HomeGlitz.

Otherwise, HomeGlitz cannot be held liable for any suit or damages.

In the loss of any of these items, HomeGlitz will not be held liable. It will be the customer's responsibility to make arrangements for the safe outflow of cleaning water/chemicals in the sewerage. Any damage caused due to the blockage of such water or chemicals in public will not make HomeGlitz liable for any damages.
