HomeWorks Terms of Service
Effective date: 1/10/2017
Welcome to Homeworks.my, your community service provider where homeowners, tenants and/or businesses seeking services (“Customers” or “you”) can obtain information about and contract for services. Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website(s), products, services and applications (the “Services”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Services, please contact us at help@homeworks.my, 48-2, Block C, The Earth, Bukit Jalil, 57000 Kuala Lumpur.
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Homeworks.my (“Company,” “we” or “us”). You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services. Your use of the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Homeworks.my Privacy Policy and Dispute Policy.
You represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract. If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity). “You” and “your” apply to both Customers and Us for the purposes of these Terms, unless indicated otherwise.
Terms Updates
We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the Homeworks.my website, and/or by sending you an email and/or by some other means.
If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes. If you reject new Terms, you remain obligated to extent of Services used prior to your rejection.
Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

You will only use the Services for your own internal, personal, non-commercial use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party, and only in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you.

Company may provide a tool for Customers to view an estimate of the cost for a Job (the “Estimated Cost”). The Estimated Cost is only a guide to help you approximate the cost of a Job, and is not a representation or guarantee by Company of the actual price of a Job or the cost of labor for a job. Company provides no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the price estimates generated by the Estimated Cost feature, and Company will not be liable for Customer’s on any estimate. Final costing will be provided as our final cost for the service.
Company may from time to time offer certain Jobs in certain markets at a “Fixed Rate” price. The “Job Definition” for such offers will typically involve special conditions and exclusions in addition to the definition of the Job itself. Homeworks.my will invoice Customers the “Fixed Rate” price plus any applicable permit costs and taxes. If we determine the actual scope of a Job exceeds the Job Definition of an applicable “Flat Rate” offering, we will get approval from the Customer before moving forward with the Job. If Customer wants additional services, whether they be related to the original Job but excluded from the Job Definition, or whether they be otherwise, we will invoice the Customer for the additional labor, materials, permits and taxes.
In order to book a Job and obtain an appointment with our crews, you may be required to have a payment method such as credit card or debit card on file with your Homeworks.my account. Homeworks.my in its sole discretion will determine the acceptable payment method(s) for each Job. Payment is due from Customer upon booking, and for some Jobs there may be more than one Invoice. Customer agrees that use of the Services will result in charges for services provided. Homeworks.my will inform Customer via text messages and/or email of the summary of charges (totals) before charging their payment method on file.
Company may offer to confirm an appointment within a specific amount of time and/or schedule a Job for a particular date and time. However, Company cannot guarantee, and ability to confirm appointments depends upon, our crews’ availability and in some cases the service location. Company also reserves the right to cancel a scheduled Job based on our crew’s availability.
Company may offer a “Homeworks.my Guarantee” on some Jobs (“Homeworks.my Guarantee Jobs”). If you are not satisfied with the quality of the project on a Homeworks.my Guarantee Job, we will work closely with you to resolve the issue. If we do not resolve the matter to your satisfaction, we will spend up to the lesser of RM1000 or the original cost of the service towards having another crew of Homeworks.my to correct the problem. Restrictions apply.
Homeworks.my is liable under statutory provisions for intent and gross negligence by us, our legal representatives, directors, or other vicarious agents. Homeworks.my is liable for any negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations by us, our legal representatives, directors, or other vicarious agents. Essential contractual obligations are such duties of Homeworks.my in whose proper fulfilment you regularly trust and must trust for the proper execution of the contract but the amount shall be limited to the typically occurring foreseeable damage. Any additional liability of Homeworks.my is excluded.
Booking Notification Chanel
