Terms Of Service
The agreement that governs Swift Tree & Landscape work — quotes, scheduling, insurance, payment, and Florida-law venue. Effective January 1, 2026.
1 · Acceptance of these terms
By requesting an estimate, accepting a written quote, or otherwise booking work with Swift Tree & Landscape ("Swift," "we," "us," "our"), you ("Customer," "you") agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not engage Swift for work.
2 · Scope of services
Swift provides tree-care and related services on the Treasure Coast — including tree removal, trimming and pruning, palm trimming, stump grinding, emergency tree service, hurricane prep, land & lot clearing, and permit concierge. The specific work covered on any one job is defined exclusively by the written, itemized quote you signed. Verbal additions are not included until added in writing.
3 · Quotes, scheduling, and changes
- Quotes are provided in writing within four business hours of the on-site assessment and are valid for thirty (30) days.
- Scheduling is confirmed by countersigned contract or written email acceptance.
- Work added or substituted on the day of the job is captured as a change order signed before that work begins.
- Cancellation more than 48 hours before the scheduled start is free of charge; later cancellations may incur a mobilization fee disclosed in writing in advance.
4 · Property access and preparation
You agree to provide reasonable access to the work site, including unlocked gates, removal of vehicles from drop zones, and notification of underground utilities (irrigation, low-voltage lighting, pool plumbing) we cannot reasonably detect through a standard 811 dig-safe call.
Swift is not responsible for damage to undisclosed, undocumented, or unmarked subsurface installations.
5 · Permits and regulatory compliance
Swift coordinates Port St. Lucie Ch. 154 permits, St. Lucie / Martin / Indian River county vegetation permits, and FS §163.045 arborist documentation as part of qualifying tree-removal jobs (filing included free with the related removal).
You confirm that you are the property owner, or that you have written authorization from the property owner, to authorize the work described in the signed quote. You bear ultimate responsibility for ensuring that work performed on your property complies with all applicable HOA, deed-restriction, municipal, and state requirements.
6 · Insurance, safety, and liability
Swift carries full General Liability, Workers’ Compensation, and Commercial Auto insurance. A Certificate of Insurance is delivered before any work begins on request, and is provided by default for all crane-assisted and commercial-property jobs.
Tree work is inherently hazardous. Swift uses OSHA-compliant procedures, NCCCO-certified operators on crane jobs, and ISA-aligned cutting standards. Customer is responsible for keeping people, pets, and personal property out of designated drop zones during work.
To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, Swift's aggregate liability for any single job is limited to the price paid for that job. Nothing in this section limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be limited under Florida law.
7 · Warranty
Swift warrants that work will be performed in a workmanlike manner consistent with International Society of Arboriculture standards and applicable local code. Concerns about the quality of work must be raised in writing within thirty (30) days of job completion. Swift will inspect and, at its option, correct any defective workmanship within that window at no additional cost.
Swift does not warrant tree survival, regrowth aesthetics, or future limb failure on any tree we did not remove — biological outcomes on living plants are outside any contractor's control.
8 · Payment
Payment terms are stated on each written quote. Residential jobs are typically billed on completion; large jobs may be split into mobilization, in-progress, and final-completion milestones. Builder and commercial accounts may qualify for Net-30 terms after the first completed project.
Wisetack financing is available on qualifying jobs at the Customer's option, subject to Wisetack's separate terms.
9 · Force majeure (hurricanes, storms, weather)
Florida hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Swift reserves the right to reschedule any non-emergency work in response to a National Weather Service advisory, named-storm warning, or post-storm dispatch demand. Subscribers of the Hurricane Subscription receive priority dispatch during such events; all other scheduling shifts to first-available capacity.
Neither party is liable for delays caused by acts of God, hurricanes, governmental orders, utility outages, or other force-majeure events.
10 · Photography
Swift may photograph completed work for portfolio, training, and marketing purposes. Photographs will not identify your address or any personally identifying detail without your express permission. Contact us if you wish to opt out — we will note your account.
11 · Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in St. Lucie County, Florida, and both parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
12 · Changes to these terms
Swift may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes apply only to quotes issued after the updated effective date; quotes already signed are governed by the version in effect at signing.
