Snow removal contract, signed before the first flake.

Snow Removal Contract between [Your Company] ("we") and [Customer Name] ("you") for [driveway / parking lot / walks] at [Service Address].

1. Season. From [November 15] to [April 1]. Snow before or after those dates is plowed at the per-push price below if you ask us to.

2. Trigger. We plow when snow reaches [2] inches. We may push during a storm and clean up after it ends. Drifting from wind counts toward the trigger.

3. Area. [Driveway to the garage doors / lot, drive lanes and parking spaces / front walk and steps]. A sketch of the area, where we pile snow and anything to avoid is attached.

4. Pricing. [Per push: $(amount) for (2) to (6) inches, $(amount) for each additional (4) inches. / Per event: $(amount) per storm, however many pushes. / Seasonal: $(amount) for the season, paid in (number) installments on (dates), covering up to (number) pushes; pushes over that are $(amount) each.]

5. Salt and ice melt. [Included / $(amount) per application / $(amount) per bag]. Applied [after each plowing / when you ask / when we see ice]. Salt can damage concrete less than [number] years old, brick and plants; tell us about surfaces that should get [sand / pet-safe melt] instead.

6. Timing. We aim to clear residential driveways within [number] hours after snow stops, and commercial lots before [time] for [business hours]. In heavy or long storms, timing can't be guaranteed. We do not provide 24-hour monitoring of conditions.

7. Your part. Move vehicles out of the plowing area when snow is forecast. Areas blocked by cars are plowed around and still billed. Mark the edges of the driveway, curbs, walkways, sprinkler heads, landscape lights and anything else hidden under snow with stakes before [date]. Clearing snow off roofs, decks and cars is not included.

8. Damage. Some lawn scraping and gravel moved onto the grass is normal with plowing and will be raked back in spring. We will repair damage we cause through our own negligence to marked items. We are not responsible for damage to unmarked or hidden items, or to pavement that was already cracked or loose.

9. Slip and fall. Snow and ice can come back after we leave (melting and refreezing, more snow, drifting). You remain responsible for the property between our visits. [Commercial: we will name you as additional insured on our policy if you ask.]

10. Payment. [Per-push and per-event accounts are billed (after each storm / monthly), due within (number) days. / Seasonal installments are due on the dates above.] Accounts more than [number] days past due may be suspended for the rest of the season.

11. Cancellation. Either of us may end this contract with [number] days' written notice. Pushes done up to that date are billed. Seasonal contracts are [non-refundable after (date) / refunded pro rata].
