Terms & Conditions

Please note that no method of underground utility locating can ever guarantee 100% accuracy or completeness. Many variables, including the age and condition of the facilities to be located, soil type, and moisture contact, among other factors, can adversely affect our ability to find and trace utilities, and on rare occasions may even result in errors or omissions beyond our control. Some utilities simply cannot be located.

 

In addition, please note that we will rely on the information you provide us. We typically require maps/plans, schematics and/or as-built drawings. In addition, we require full access to all areas on the job site, including mechanical rooms and utility buildings. We are not responsible to the extent that information you provide is inaccurate or incomplete, or we do not have full access.

 

Finally, at times we may mark facilities owned and maintained by public utility providers in order to eliminate them from our search process. You should never rely on our marks for public utility providers; you should instead contact the public utilities as mandated by law.

  2. MODIFICATION. These Terms and Conditions may only be modified in a written document signed by our authorized representative. Subsequent invoices, confirmations, acknowledgments, sales orders, quotations or other documentation from you are not sufficient to modify these Terms and Conditions. Please note that our representatives at job sites are not authorized to modify our Terms and Conditions.
  3. INCONSISTENT TERMS. To the extent that your prior or future invoices, confirmations, acknowledgments, purchase orders, quotations or other documents or communications contain terms that contradict these Terms and Conditions or are explicitly or implicitly inconsistent with these Terms and Conditions, then we object to and reject such terms, which are null and void; and these Terms and Conditions shall apply. Additional terms concerning a subject covered by these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed inconsistent terms for purposes of these Terms and Conditions.
  4. ADDITIONAL TERMS. We object to and reject terms included in your prior or future invoices, confirmations, acknowledgments, sales orders, quotations or other documents that are in addition to these Terms and Conditions, and such terms are not effective, are not included in the parties’ contract, and are null and void.

  6. ATTORNEYS’ FEES. In the event that you fail to timely pay us and we are required to retain counsel to enforce our rights, you are responsible for our reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal or litigation costs. These amounts include the fees and costs associated with investigating our claims as well as filing and prosecuting litigation (including defense of counterclaims) in any tribunal, including but not limited to courts, arbitrations, mediations or before administrative agencies.

  10. INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLER/SUPPLIER/OTHER PARTY. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (including the payment of attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses and costs) us and our officers, directors, employees and representatives (collectively, “Our Parties”) from and against any claims, lawsuits, demands, damages, liability, causes of action, costs and expenses (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or related to our agreement, the work we perform for you or your Customer, the property where we perform our services, or the work you performed for your Customer, to the extent such Claims assert that or arose because of (a) your actual or alleged strict liability, negligence, gross negligence, or reckless, intentional or willful misconduct, (b) your actual or alleged failure of your goods or services to meet applicable law or standards, or (c) your goods or services were actually or allegedly defective or (d) because any of your express or implied representations were actually or allegedly inaccurate or false.

  11. ARBITRATION/ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION. We reject any provision requiring the parties to engage in arbitration, mediation or any other alternative dispute resolution procedures in connection with any dispute.
  12. DISPUTE PROCEDURES. In the event you believe we are liable for damage to any property or person for any reason, you agree to: (a) promptly notify us to allow us to assess the damage and investigate the worksite prior to changes being made and/or corrective action occurring, and (b) allow us to access to assess the damage and investigate the worksite prior to changes being made and/or corrective action occurring, or (c) in the event that, due to the exigencies of the circumstances, you cannot provide us with an opportunity to assess the damage and investigate the worksite, take video and/or photographs of the site sufficient to determine who is responsible for the damage (this evidence must include, among other things, the markings that we made). If you fail to comply with this provision, then you waive the right to assert that we are responsible and/or liable for damages of any kind.
  13. SET-OFF AND RECOUPMENT. We retain all rights to recoup and/or set-off any amounts owed by you against any amounts we owe or will owe you now or in the future, whether mutuality exists, whether the amounts we withhold are related to this transaction or to any other transaction, and whether the amounts owed are liquidated or unliquidated.
