The contractor may use her own discretion and skill to determine periods of time and details to be done for the project to be completed. This will be clear at the commencement of the project between the two parties. Once this service agreement is signed it will be the binding contract for both parties to fulfill the agreement. The session date is not reserved until this signed contract is recieved by Joyful Heart Organizing.

It is also agreed that the purchase of any sorting materials, drawers, baskets, or organizers of any kind, be they decorative or functional, are the responsibility of the Client. Should the Organizer make purchases of this kind, the expense will be reimbursed by the Client, and the hourly rate of $30 will be paid for time the Organizer spends shopping. Payments can be made by cash, check, credit card ($5 fee), or Venmo. All checks shall be made to Joyful Heart Organizing.

Unless otherwise stated, there will be no call to confirm appointments. It is the client’s responsibility to change or reschedule appointments when necessary.

The failure of either Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights.
