Welcome to Son of a Nutcracker Lights!
These Terms of Service ("Terms") outline the rules and conditions for using our website and services. By accessing or using our services, you agree to comply with these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
Scope of Services
Son of a Nutcracker Lights provides professional holiday lighting services, including installation, maintenance, takedown, and optional storage. All services performed fall under the scope of this agreement.
Payment Terms
To ensure a smooth process, clients must:
A 50% deposit is due at the time of booking to secure your installation date. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the installation. If the final balance is not paid within 7 days, a late fee of $50 per week may be applied.
Rental & Purchase Options
We offer both rental and purchase plans for your lighting display:
Purchase Option: Designed for returning customers who want to lock in long-term service and pricing. You still receive full installation, takedown, and storage services — but you gain ownership of the lights after a three-season minimum commitment. After that, you’ll receive a discounted rehang rate of 75% of the original install price in future seasons. This is ideal for customers looking for a consistent, long-term lighting partner.
Rental Option: Lights remain the property of Son of a Nutcracker Lights. A $50 annual storage fee applies. After 3 consecutive seasons, ownership may be transferred upon request.
Contract Duration & Cancellation
For rentals, a minimum three (3) year commitment applies. If you wish to opt out after this period, please notify us before October 1st to avoid a $50 late cancellation fee. Early cancellations prior to fulfilling the 3-year term may be subject to additional fees.
Access to Property
Safe, unobstructed access to your property must be provided for installation, service calls, and takedown. This includes cleared walkways, driveways, and adequate exterior lighting.
Liability
Son of a Nutcracker Lights is fully insured for all standard installation services. That said, we are not liable for any damage caused by natural weather events, existing structural issues, or pre-existing conditions on the property. By booking with us, you agree to hold Son of a Nutcracker Lights harmless for any claims, losses, or damages beyond our direct control or caused by external factors.
