I am redoing my estimate form and wondered what you guys were using...mine is too vague and certain things not clear enough for the customer. I really want to have it computer generated because it does look more professional.

I just want to protect myself more than anything. Been butt F***ed one too many times by customers and it was my fault for not having things clearly stated.:angry: :angry:

Here is mine-I somehow whacked off the right edge in making it a bitmap but the pertinent stuff is there-all that was over there was a logo and those important "payment is due upon completion" words.
 
Here is some of the fine print I have in mine. Sorry for all the caps but I copied and pasted directly from my bid sheet. I have
it printed in Arial 8 pt. on my bid forms.


ALL TREE WORK IS TO BE COMPLETED IN A WORKMANLIKE MANNER FOUND IN THE ANSI A300 STANDARD FOR TREE CARE OPERATIONS. ALL OTHER LANDSCAPE WORK WILL BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED INDUSTRY STANDARDS. ALL AGREEMENTS ARE CONTINGENT UPON WEATHER, ACCIDENTS AND OTHER DELAYS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. WJ LANDSCAPE SERVICES WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO ANY UNDERGROUND INSTALLATIONS, SUCH AS PIPES, CABLES, WIRES. ETC, ALTHOUGH REASONABLE CARE TO AVOID SUCH DAMAGE WILL BE TAKEN.



ACCEPTANCE OF PROPOSAL
THE ABOVE PRICES AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE SATISFACTORY AND HEREBY ACCEPTED. YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO THE WORK AS SPECIFIED. PAYMENT WILL BE MADE AS OUTLINED ABOVE. IN THE EVENT THAT A DELINQUENT ACCOUNT IS PLACED IN THE HAND OF AN ATTORNEY OR LICENSED COLLECTOR FOR COLLECTION, I AGREE TO PAY, IN ADDITION TO THE AMOUNT OF SAID ACCOUNT AND INTEREST AT 1.5% PER MONTH, A LATE FEE OF $25.00 AND ALL COSTS OF COLLECTION, INCLUDING A REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEE. I CERTIFY THAT I AM THE OWNER, OR HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO REPRESENT THE OWNER, OF THE ABOVE TREES AND/OR LANDSCAPE AREAS AND INDEMNIFY WJ LANDSCAPE SERVICES, ETAL, FOR ALL DAMAGES, ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS SHOULD A LEGAL DISPUTE ARISE CONCERNING THE OWNERSHIP OF THE ABOVE PROPERTY.
YOUR SIGNATURE BELOW WILL CONSTITUTE A BINDING CONTRACT. CANCELLATION SUBJECT TO A CANCELLATION FEE OF 25% OF THE CONTRACT PRICE.

DATE OF ACCEPTANCE: __________________ SIGNATURE: ___________________________________
 
Put this in Small fine Print .

XYZ Company will not be held for any lawn or structual damages to property.




:D
 
Hmmmmmm Probably somone that doesnt read the fine print. That would never hold up in court.:alien:
 
Ha!  You guys should actually read the EULA you click through with your Windows software for ideas on how to get out of any responsibility whatsoever.
