Terms of Service

These terms define the service conditions between Dénéigement Quesnel (“the company”) and the client.
Using our services implies full acceptance of these terms.

1. Service Activation & Municipal Snowbank Removal

  • Operations begin when there are 5 cm or more of snow on the ground.

  • We commit to taking all reasonable measures to remove the municipal snowbank before 7:00 AM (depending on weather and City operations).

  • In cases of heavy accumulation, prolonged storms, or freezing rain, delays may be extended.

2. Final Cleaning (“Full Clearing”)

  • The final cleaning is performed after the snowfall has ended.

  • The client must remove all vehicles before 10:00 AM.

  • An automated text message is sent only when the team is heading out to perform the full clearing.

  • Overnight or preliminary passes do not require vehicles to be moved.

📌 Important

  • Text messages are not sent for preliminary passes.

  • They are sent only for the final pass, when the driveway will be fully cleared.

  • If vehicles are not removed:

    • The full clearing will be performed during the next precipitation.

3. Clear Access & Obstacles

The client must ensure that:

  • The snow removal area is clear at all times.

  • No object blocks access (garbage bins, recycling bins, decorations, wires, extensions, toys, furniture, etc.).

  • All obstacles are clearly identified.

Garbage Collection Days

On collection days:

➡️ The client must ensure that garbage and recycling bins do not block the snow removal area.
➡️ Any blocked driveway will be cleared only during the next precipitation.

4. Stakes & Signaling

  • We provide 2 stakes per client.

  • The client is responsible for keeping them in place and reporting any loss or damage immediately.

  • If the stakes are removed before our arrival, the company cannot guarantee:

    • a complete snow removal

    • the absence of damage

    • priority service

The client must mark at their own expense any particular obstacle (e.g.: stairs, lighting, bushes, electrical connections, decorative items, etc.).

5. Temporary Shelters (Tempo / Carport)

  • The client must notify us if there is a shelter.

  • The company is not responsible for any damage caused to a shelter that is:

    • unstable

    • weakened

    • poorly installed

    • too low for the machinery

    • or otherwise unsafe

6. Surface Types & Responsibility Limits

Different surface types react differently to winter operations:

  • Asphalt: existing cracks, sinking, fragile borders

  • Gravel: normal displacement of gravel

  • Pavers: seasonal movements, poorly installed blocks

  • Concrete: chipping or pre-existing wear

The company cannot be held responsible for damages caused by:

  • fragile or improperly installed surfaces

  • normal machinery use during snow removal

  • objects not visible under the snow

  • temporary car shelter anchors

  • blower or scraper marks

  • borders located within the first 4 feet from the street

  • unpaved or non-asphalted surfaces

  • natural conditions (freezing rain, ice, thaw, water accumulation, etc.)

  • any damage to garage doors when the driveway has a negative slope toward the door

7. Ice, Freezing Rain & Abrasives

  • The company cannot guarantee the absence of ice on the ground.

  • Inclined or icy driveways must be treated with abrasives by the client.

  • Without abrasives, service may be limited for safety reasons.

8. Snow Pile Placement

  • The client must designate a safe area on the property for snow piling.

  • The company does not transport snow off-site, unless a written agreement is made.

9. Service Calls

  • Any service call made outside regular operating hours may result in additional fees.

  • Any snow added manually or mechanically after the final pass will be considered a billable service call.

10. Payments & Fees

  • Any NSF cheque or declined credit card transaction will incur a $25 fee.

  • No refunds will be issued for periods already serviced.

11. Conduct Toward Personnel

No form of violence, threats, harassment, or intimidation — including via social media — will be tolerated.

➡️ The company reserves the right to terminate the contract without refund in such situations.

12. General Liability

The company is not responsible for damages caused to:

  • fences

  • hedges

  • walls

  • buildings

  • trees

  • decorative installations

  • objects left in the snow removal zone

  • items located near the snow piling area

13. Governing Law
