WEEKLY POOL MAINTENANCE
This agreement includes a class action waiver. Please review these terms in their entirety before purchasing our pool products and/or services.
GENERAL
These Terms of Service ("TOS") govern your purchase and use of products and services provided by U-Go Lugo, LLC, d.b.a U-Go Lugo Pools, including its subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as "U-Go Lugo", "us", "we", or "our"). These terms constitute a legal agreement between you ("Customer", "you", or "your") and U-Go Lugo, collectively referred to as the "Parties" or individually as a "Party." This TOS outlines both our obligations to you and your obligations to us concerning any Services you purchase or use.
​
By subscribing to or using our products and/or services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this TOS and any additional rules, policies, terms, conditions, or service agreements that we may establish and update from time to time, which are incorporated herein by reference. You may also choose to acquire additional services ("Additional Services") from us, our partners, or other third parties, which may have separate service agreements or terms. It is your responsibility to review and comply with those additional service agreements or terms.
​
These Terms of Service may be revised periodically by posting on our website.
SERVICES
Please consult the Weekly Pool Maintenance Services Page on this website for a detailed list of the services included in your plan. Please note that additional charges may apply for Salt Cells, Quad Filters, and DE Filters, depending on the specifics of your plan. Replacement cartridge filters are priced individually, typically starting at $49, and this cost is not included in the monthly service rate.
The monthly service rates for Weekly Pool Maintenance are applicable to pools in good condition, which are free of algae and debris, and have a capacity of less than 15,000 gallons. Pools not meeting these criteria will require a custom quote.
​
Service rates are subject to variation based on factors such as the pool's size, the presence of a spa, proximity to trees and shrubs, and other additional features.
​
These rates apply specifically to residential Customers requiring full-time or year-round services. They do not apply to short-term, seasonal, one-time visit services, or commercial cleaning services. For one-time or short-term/seasonal residential pool services, rates begin at $125 per visit, plus the cost of chemicals.
We reserve the right to perform a chemical service only for customers due to inclement weather or for any weeks with a major national holiday.
INVOICING, PAYMENT TERMS, AND CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION
You will receive an invoice prior to the first day of each month for services to be provided in that month. Invoices are made available electronically via email, with paper invoices available upon request.
​
Payments are due as follows:
-
By check: Payments must be received by the 15th of the month preceding the month in which services will be performed.
-
By cash: Payments are due on the 1st day of the month in which the services will be performed.
-
By credit card* or ACH*: Charges will be applied on the first day of the month in which the services will be performed.
*Payments not received via Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal will have a 3% processing fee.
If you choose to pay by credit card, you authorize U-Go Lugo to charge your credit card account for the services rendered. Any additional work beyond your recurring services will also be charged to your credit card upon completion. Certain services, such as restoration, may require a payment method on file and will be charged upon completion. U-Go Lugo reserves the right to impose a credit card processing fee at its discretion.
No advance notice will be provided prior to charging your credit card on the scheduled date. U-Go Lugo will seek authorization for any additional fees for services not included in the original agreement.
Charges will continue to be applied to your credit card for services until a final bill is issued after the termination of services. If your credit card payment fails, the outstanding balance will be indicated on your statement. Declined payments due to insufficient funds will be reprocessed on the first Friday of the month. If the 1st falls on a Friday, reprocessing will occur on the following Friday.
By using a credit card or charge card for payment, you irrevocably waive any right to initiate a chargeback or dispute the payment with your bank, credit card issuer, or other payment method provider. Should U-Go Lugo be unable to charge your payment method for the full amount due, or if a chargeback, reversal, or payment dispute occurs, you agree that we may pursue all available legal remedies to collect payment.
