Before any claim can be asserted by Customer against SunBlest Lawn Care arising from any alleged breach of its service contract, or asserting damage or injury to person or property arising from any act or omission on the part of SunBlest Lawn Care or its agents, employees, or representatives, Customer must provide timely written notice to SunBlest Lawn Care identifying and documenting the damage or injury alleged and the acts or omissions that are the basis of Customer’s claim.

A claim is “initiated” when SunBlest Lawn Care receives a written demand for arbitration of such claim. If the arbitration provisions of this contract are determined inapplicable or unenforceable to such claim, the claim is not “initiated” until SunBlest Lawn Care receives service of a Summons and Complaint.

In no event shall SunBlest Lawn Care be liable to Customer, and Customer expressly waives and agrees to make no claim for, intangible, consequential, incidental, or indirect damages, including, by way of example, loss of use of property, lost profits, loss of business, damage to reputation, business interruption, or emotional or mental injury.
