Terms & Conditions

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the dog waste removal services ("Service") provided by WagMelon ("Company," "we," or "us"). By scheduling or using our services, you ("Client," "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully.

1. Service Access & Property Conditions

1.1 The Client must provide safe, unobstructed access to the yard on the scheduled service date.
1.2 Gates must be unlocked, and all pets securely confined indoors or away from the service area during the visit.
1.3 We are not responsible for missed services due to locked gates, aggressive pets, or inaccessible yards. These will be marked as completed and are non-refundable.
1.4 The yard must be reasonably maintained. Excessive debris, overgrown grass, standing water, hazardous materials, or snow/ice may result in skipped service or additional charges.

2. Pet Safety & Liability

2.1 While we love friendly dogs, for safety reasons, we do not feed or handle pets.
2.2 We prefer that dogs be kept indoors or separated during service. If dogs are left outside, they must be non-aggressive and comfortable with strangers.
2.3 Dogs with a history of aggression must be secured indoors. If an aggressive or unsupervised dog poses a risk, service may be skipped and marked as completed, or permanently suspended without refund.
2.4 The Client is responsible for securing pets and ensuring gates, fences, and latches are functioning. We are not liable for pets escaping due to pre-existing conditions or unsecured property.

3.2 We do not clean indoor areas, dig through landscaping, or move heavy objects to access waste.

6.2 If we miss a visit due to Company error, staff availability, or weather-related delays, we will reschedule or issue a service credit.
