Once scheduling has occurred, materials have been ordered, equipment has been assigned, or work has commenced, the deposit becomes earned and is non-refundable except where prohibited by applicable law.
Customer cancellations after scheduling may result in forfeiture of the deposit and additional charges for mobilization, purchased materials, permits, administrative expenses, and other costs already incurred.

The customer agrees to pay all reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, collection costs, and other expenses incurred in collecting unpaid balances.
6. FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION LIEN RIGHTS
Customer acknowledges that the Company may preserve and enforce all rights available under Florida’s Construction Lien Law.
Failure to make payment may result in Company recording and enforcing a Claim of Lien against the property where permitted by law.
7. HIDDEN CONDITIONS
Water, mold, fire, and biohazard losses frequently conceal additional damage.
Company is not responsible for concealed conditions that could not reasonably be discovered before work began.
Discovery of hidden damage, structural deterioration, mold growth, asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paint, termite damage, code deficiencies, or other hazardous conditions may require additional work and additional charges.
8. WATER MITIGATION
The company performs water mitigation using generally accepted restoration practices, including applicable IICRC S500 standards.
Drying times vary based upon building materials, environmental conditions, hidden moisture, weather, utility interruptions, HVAC operation, and other factors beyond Company’s control.
The company does not guarantee specific drying times or moisture readings by any particular date.
9. MOLD REMEDIATION
The company performs mold remediation in accordance with the applicable IICRC S520 Standard of Care and any written remediation protocol, when applicable.
Mold remediation is intended to remove mold contamination within the authorized work area and restore the affected area to an acceptable condition based on the approved protocol.
10. ICKKY NIKKY’S CLEARANCE GUARANTEE
The company stands behind the quality of its mold remediation services.
Company guarantees that the remediated work area will pass an independent Post-Remediation Verification (PRV) performed by the same assessor who developed the original remediation protocol, provided that:
- The remediation scope is completed without alteration.
- No new water intrusion, elevated humidity, contamination, or environmental changes occur after remediation.
- Customer maintains all recommended environmental conditions, including electrical service, HVAC operation, and moisture control when required.
- The PRV is performed by the same independent assessor who prepared the original remediation protocol.
- No demolition, remodeling, or disturbance of the remediated area occurs before testing.
If the remediated work area fails the initial PRV solely due to Company’s workmanship, Company will perform additional remediation within the original scope at no additional cost until the work area achieves a passing PRV.
This guarantee does not apply to new moisture events, plumbing failures, roof leaks, HVAC failures, foundation movement, customer negligence, changes to the property after remediation, or testing performed by a different assessor without Company’s written approval.

Customer is responsible for Company equipment that is lost, stolen, or intentionally damaged while located on the property.
13. CONTENTS & PERSONAL PROPERTY
Unless specifically included in the approved estimate, Company is not responsible for packing, moving, cleaning, storing, or protecting personal property.
