2. Billing & Payment

Service is billed at $100 per month on an automatic recurring basis to the card on file.

Service is intended to be ongoing. Customers may cancel anytime.

Cancellations within the first 90 days of service incur a $150 early termination fee to cover initial setup, chemicals, and route onboarding.

3. Independent Contractor Status

Scholar Pools coordinates services performed by independent student contractors. These individuals are not employees, agents, or representatives of Scholar Pools.

4. Minor Worker Disclosure

Filter cleanings, storm cleanups, excessive debris removal, and services outside weekly maintenance are billed separately.

11. Equipment & Pre-Existing Issues

Scholar Pools is not responsible for pre-existing equipment failure, leaks, cracks, structural issues, or damage caused by weather, animals, or third parties.
