Terms of Service
Last updated: September 2026
1. Acceptance Of These Terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of the Summit Shield Pest Control website and any service you purchase from us at 2845 Wilderness Place, Suite 120, Boulder, CO. By booking an inspection, purchasing a treatment or plan, or using this site you agree to be bound by them.
Template text — replace with terms reviewed by your own counsel before launch.
2. Service Plan Terms
Protection plans bill per scheduled visit or monthly using the payment method on file. Rates are locked for the duration of continuous service; if you cancel and re-enroll, current rates apply.
Plans cover the property listed on your agreement and are not transferable to another address without written approval and a new inspection.
3. Cancellation, Holds & Refunds
Cancel any plan with 30 days written notice to hello@summitshieldpest.com. Your plan stays active and billable through the end of that notice period. Plans may be placed on hold for up to 90 days per calendar year at no cost.
Appointments may be rescheduled up to 12 hours before the window at no penalty. Missed appointments where our technician cannot access the property may be billed as a trip charge. Completed treatments are non-refundable, but re-treatment between visits is free.
4. Treatments, Access & Liability
All products are EPA-registered and applied by licensed technicians according to label directions. You agree to disclose known allergies, sensitivities, pets, aquariums, and beehives before treatment, and to follow re-entry instructions given by your technician.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Summit Shield Pest Control, its owners, technicians, and staff from liability for loss or damage arising out of service, except where caused by gross negligence. Pre-existing structural, moisture, or pest damage is excluded from any guarantee.
5. Property Access & Conduct
Please provide safe access to treatment areas, secure pets during the visit, and follow post-treatment instructions. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate service for harassment, unsafe conditions, or unsafe pets on site.
6. SMS & Marketing Consent
By providing your phone number you consent to receive transactional and marketing messages from Summit Shield Pest Control. Message frequency varies; message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase.
7. Changes To These Terms
We may update these terms and will post the revised version on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of our services or website after changes constitutes acceptance. Questions? Contact hello@summitshieldpest.com or (303) 555-0142.

1. Information We Collect
We collect information you give us directly: name, email address, phone number, service address, billing details, property and pest details you share with your technician, and any message you send through our forms.
We also collect limited technical data automatically — IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URL — through analytics and standard server logs.
2. How We Use Your Information
To schedule and deliver your service, process payments, treat your property safely, respond to inquiries, send appointment updates, and — where you have consented — send marketing about seasonal services and offers.
3. Sharing & Third Parties
We never sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us operate: payment processors, field service and scheduling software, email and SMS providers, and analytics tools. Each is bound to use it only on our behalf.
4. Cookies & Analytics
This site uses cookies and analytics tools to understand traffic and improve the experience. You can block cookies in your browser settings and enable a do-not-track signal; core booking functionality may be limited if you do.
5. Data Retention & Security
We retain customer and treatment records for as long as your service is active and for a reasonable period afterward to meet legal, tax, and pesticide record-keeping obligations. We use industry-standard safeguards, though no method of transmission or storage is fully secure.
6. Your Rights
To request a copy of your data, correct it, or ask us to delete it, contact Summit Shield Pest Control at hello@summitshieldpest.com or (303) 555-0142. We respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live you may have additional rights under state or national privacy law.
7. Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13 without verifiable parental consent. Service agreements are entered into by an adult property owner or authorized tenant.
