Dripping Springs Christmas Lights (DSCL) Estimate Terms

This quote from Dripping Springs Christmas Lights ("DSCL") outlines all the options available to create a display that will bring the most joy and beauty to your event this season. Regardless of the package you select, the following services are included:

Expert Installation

We ensure that your display is 100% visually appealing. This includes using custom-length power supply cords to eliminate unsightly cords and potential tripping hazards.

Maintenance

Should any bulbs need attention, we’ll come to your home as soon as possible to repair or replace them. We aim for a 24-hour turnaround on service calls.

Removal and Storage

After the holiday season, we’ll safely take down the lights and store them in covered storage—no need for you to climb any ladders in January!

Ownership of Decorations

All lights and decorations used for your display are the property of DSCL. The customer is not purchasing, leasing, or renting these items, and therefore does not gain ownership rights to the decorations at any point during or after the service. DSCL will handle the purchase and replacement of decorations as needed, ensuring they are in excellent condition each year.

No Need for Decoration Purchases

You will never be required to buy decorations due to wear and tear. DSCL owns and maintains the decorations, and we will replace them each year as necessary to keep your display looking fresh.

Pricing and Terms

Once a deposit is made, your pricing is locked in for the next three years. For years two and three, your pricing will remain the same, even if inflation or other factors drive costs up. If you want to change the color of your lights next season, we’ll switch them out free of charge. You get all the benefits of having a beautifully designed display without the hassle of ownership.

Service Flexibility

Want to make changes? Simply send us a message with your updated preferences, and we'll adjust your display accordingly. Once you’ve made your final decisions, sign and approve your package.

Payment Terms

A 50% deposit is required to reserve your spot on our schedule, with the balance due upon installation. Deposits are used solely to secure your place on the schedule and are non-refundable. However, should you change your mind soon after the deposit, DSCL may choose to refund the amount minus any third-party transfer fees.
Late Payment / Non-Payment: If the final payment is not made by the agreed-upon installation date, DSCL reserves the right to remove all decorations and property at the customer's expense. The customer will be responsible for any costs incurred in retrieving property, including removal, storage, and any legal fees associated with the recovery process. Any unpaid balance will accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, and DSCL may pursue legal action or collection efforts if payment is not made within 30 days of the final installation date.

Estimate Adjustments

If any discrepancies are discovered upon arrival at your property that require additional resources, DSCL reserves the right to modify the estimate and adjust pricing accordingly.

Maintenance and Alterations

Please note that DSCL cannot guarantee the quality of your display if any alterations, repairs, or improvements are made by others without written permission from DSCL. If a third party, such as a landscaper, contractor, or even a squirrel, damages or modifies the installation (e.g., cutting a cord, chewing on lights, or overloading the power), the maintenance warranty will be void. DSCL is not responsible for damages caused by these actions or by acts of nature (e.g., storms or vandalism). However, we will address any issues that arise through no fault of third parties.

Not a Lease or Rental Agreement

The lights and decorations provided by DSCL are not for lease, rental, or sale. The customer is not acquiring any ownership rights to the lights or decorations. You are paying only for the services of design, installation, maintenance, removal, and storage. The lights and decorations remain the sole property of DSCL throughout the service period, including during storage after removal.

Commercial-Grade LED Lights

All lights are high-quality, commercial-grade LED lights set on a timer. These are more energy-efficient and provide a natural shine and hue. Unlike lights from big-box stores, these are custom-selected to ensure durability and safety. You may choose the colors and patterns of the lights, and DSCL will confirm your preferences after your deposit.

Estimate Validity

This estimate is valid for 30 days from the date issued. After 30 days, DSCL reserves the right to decline acceptance of the estimate and return any deposits made, minus third-party transfer fees.
