These Terms and Conditions ("Agreement") govern the provision of property maintenance services by Eagle Eye Property Maintenance and Management ("Eagle Eye PM", "we", "us", or "our") to clients ("Client", "you", or "your") who subscribe to an Eagle Eye Guardian Plan. By subscribing to a plan, you agree to be bound by these terms.
Important Note: These terms and conditions specifically cover services provided under an Eagle Eye Guardian Plan. They supplement, and where inconsistent or more specific, take precedence over the general terms and conditions of Eagle Eye Property Maintenance and Management, which can be found on our website at https://www.eagleeyepm.co.uk/general-terms-and-conditions.
1. Service Overview 1.1. Eagle Eye Guardian Plans are designed to provide proactive and reactive property maintenance solutions for landlords and homeowners.

2. Initial Property Assessment and Quotation 2.1. A complimentary, no-obligation on-site property assessment will be conducted prior to any service agreement. This assessment allows us to evaluate your property's condition, discuss your specific needs, and provide a transparent, custom quotation based on your chosen plan. 2.2. The custom quotation will confirm the exact annual cost for your property based on the chosen plan tier and will supersede the estimated ranges provided on our website.
