2. Service Requests and Final Agreement

Mainstream Tinting provides window film installation services. The following terms apply to our engagement process:

3. Client Responsibilities and Site Access

The client is responsible for ensuring the work area is safe, clear, and accessible for Mainstream Tinting personnel and equipment prior to the scheduled service time. This includes, but is not limited to, removing all furniture, décor, and personal belongings immediately adjacent to the windows to be treated. Failure to provide adequate access or a safe environment may result in delays, rescheduling, or additional service fees, as outlined in the Service Agreement.

4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Refunds

Any service appointment scheduled after a final quote is accepted may be subject to a cancellation or rescheduling fee as defined in the final Service Agreement. Mainstream Tinting reserves the right to cancel or reschedule appointments due to circumstances outside of its control, including but not limited to weather, staff illness, or equipment failure.

Refunds and Returns

As Mainstream Tinting provides an on-site custom installation service, returns and refunds are governed exclusively by the Virginia Consumer Protection Act (VCPA) and the specific, final Service Agreement executed between the client and Mainstream Tinting. Any disputes regarding work quality or claims must first be submitted to Mainstream Tinting in writing as outlined in the Service Agreement to allow for cure or mediation. Unless otherwise noted in the final Service Agreement, deposits are non-refundable once the film order has been placed.

6. User Obligations, Site Safety, and Conduct

As a user of the Service, you warrant that all information you provide is true and complete. You agree not to:

A. Commercial Communications Consent

By submitting a quote request, you consent to receive electronic communications from Mainstream Tinting regarding your quote, service scheduling, and related follow-up or promotional offers. All promotional emails will include a clear mechanism to opt out of future communications.

B. Site Safety and Professional Conduct

The client agrees to maintain a safe and non-hostile environment for Mainstream Tinting personnel while on their property. This includes ensuring that no individual at the service location is under the influence of drugs or alcohol or engages in harassing, discriminatory, or threatening behavior. Mainstream Tinting reserves the absolute right to immediately cease work and leave the property if any employee feels their safety is compromised, or if they observe illegal activity or substance abuse on site. In such an event, the client may remain responsible for services rendered and travel fees incurred up to that point.

C. Inherent Property Risks

The client acknowledges that window film installation is a physical process. While Mainstream Tinting takes all reasonable precautions, the client agrees to hold the company harmless for minor, inherent risks associated with on-site work, such as minor scratches to window frames or minor residual debris, where such damage is not a result of gross negligence.

7. Intellectual Property Rights and Marketing

The website's Content (text, images, logos) is the exclusive property of Mainstream Tinting.

Promotional Rights (Photos of Completed Work)

The client hereby grants Mainstream Tinting the non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual right to photograph and video the completed service work.

While we reserve this right, the client’s specific street address or private identity will not be published without further written consent, and any sensitive commercial imagery will be used at Mainstream Tinting's discretion.

8. Force Majeure (Events Outside Our Control)

Mainstream Tinting shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under this Agreement due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, acts of terrorism, fires, floods, extreme weather, strikes, failure of third-party suppliers, or government restrictions.
