Terms & Conditions: Permanent Installations

 

Silver Bells Labor Warranty for Permanent Installations Only:

If a Silver Bells Labor Warranty is included in the project, it will be clearly included on the proposal. If included, the Silver Bells Labor Warranty covers labor costs for repairs or replacements due to failure of the installation, as determined by Silver Bells. Damage or repairs not covered include but are not limited to material failures, theft, vandalism, damage or disruption by animals, tampering or adjustments performed by anyone other than a Silver Bells employee, acts of God, fire, electrical surges, extreme weather, etc. Service calls and repair costs for resolving issues not covered by the Labor Warranty will be billed to the customer accordingly. If the lighting system is worked on by anyone other than a Silver Bells employee, the Labor Warranty is void. Any applicable manufacturer’s warranties will cover replacement of materials but does not cover the associated labor to complete the repair.

 

 

Terms & Conditions: Holiday Lighting (All-Inclusive & Labor Only)

 

All-Inclusive versus Labor Only Holiday Lighting Services:

All Labor Only holiday lighting services will be clearly indicated on the proposal. Only a very small handful of our customers (primarily from our 1st-2nd year in business) have purchased their lights and materials and receive Labor Only holiday lighting services; terms that vary between our All-Inclusive versus Labor Only holiday lighting services are detailed in dedicated sections below. Labor Only holiday lighting services are no longer offered for new projects.

​

Holiday Lighting Installation & Removal Schedule:

Installation dates will be assigned with reasonable efforts to accommodate customer preferences; specific timeframes will not be given unless deemed necessary by Silver Bells. Scheduling for installations is often done in batches; an installation date may not be assigned immediately after receipt of deposit, but the order in which deposits are received is considered. Installation dates are subject to change; you will be notified of any changes or updates.

 

Silver Bells will begin their removal process in January and will make every reasonable effort to complete removals in a timely manner. Specific removal dates will not be assigned. Silver Bells will prioritize removal of projects that include C9 lighting, greenery, or custom decor; trees/bushes or projects comprised solely of trees/bushes may be attended to later in the removal process. Customers are permitted to change timer settings or turn the lights off at any time prior to removal if desired. Requests for early or late removals will be accommodated when possible but are not guaranteed.

 

Customers are neither required nor expected to be present for the installation or removal unless interior access is needed for the project. Gates must be unlocked on the assigned installation date for easy access to all outlet and installation locations. If gates are locked and backyard access is required for removal, customer is responsible for informing Silver Bells prior to December 15th.

 

Customer Responsibility:

It is the customer’s responsibility to thoroughly review the proposal and confirm that areas of coverage, styles, and/or colors are accurately selected. Silver Bells will install what has been approved on the proposal. After the deposit is paid, any modifications to the project will incur additional costs. All bids are made with the expectation that adequate power supplies and receptacles are available; customer is responsible for maintaining and providing adequate power.

 

Invoices, details regarding the project, and payment reminders will be sent via email. It is the customer’s responsibility to add “info@silverbellslighting.com” as an email contact to ensure deliverability. Customers must remain opted into all email and text communications.

 

Tree & Bush Growth for Renewing Holiday Projects:

Pricing for trees and bushes is determined primarily by the amount of lighting required based on the size of the plant(s) at the time of the original bid and does not account for growth. From year to year, additional lights may be needed to maintain the desired look and style and would increase the cost. Full wraps on trees or bushes have the highest likelihood of requiring annual adjustments; spiral and partial wraps may also require adjustments but can generally tolerate some growth. Silver Bells strongly encourages renewal customers with trees or bushes to submit new photos of the plant(s) prior to approval of the bid so that pricing can be confirmed or adjusted; large projects may request an in-person assessment. If a renewal customer elects to not submit photos for this purpose prior to approving the bid and growth is realized during the installation, Silver Bells will automatically add additional lights and adjust the price accordingly if the addition would result in no more than a 25% increase in the price for the specific plant(s). If the additional lights needed will result in more than a 25% increase in the price, the customer will be contacted to provide approval. If customer is unable to provide approval or direction on how to proceed during the original installation appointment for any reason, an additional fee may apply and any deadlines previously agreed upon will be void. It is at the sole discretion of Silver Bells to determine if plant growth has been significant enough to require additional lights to achieve the same look and style. Properly pruning and thinning plants may help reduce costs associated with growth and should be completed prior to having Silver Bells make growth-related adjustments. Silver Bells strongly prefers to provide pricing adjustments for plant growth prior to bid approval and appreciates customer cooperation with this.

 

Dates of Operation:

Silver Bells will be closed Thanksgiving Day, December 24th-25th, December 31st, January 1st. If services are desired on these days, you must notify us in advance and an additional fee will apply.
