Terms & Conditions

A legal disclaimer

 

We are Mikiki Cleaning Service (“Mikiki”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). By booking or using any of our services, including our website, communication channels, customer support, cleaning staff, and any related service partners (collectively referred to as the “Services”), you agree to the following Terms of Service.

These Terms explain the rules and conditions that apply when you use our Services. We have tried to keep the language clear and simple, but these Terms still form a legally binding agreement between you and Mikiki. Please read them carefully before using our Services.

1. Eligibility and Authority

By accessing or using our Services, you confirm that:

  • You are legally able to enter into a binding agreement with Mikiki;

  • You agree to follow these Terms, as well as all applicable local, state, and national laws and regulations;

  • You acknowledge that Mikiki’s brand, name, and materials are protected under relevant intellectual property laws.

If you are using our Services on behalf of a company or another organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to accept these Terms on their behalf and to legally bind that entity to this agreement.

2. Access to Property (Entry to Premises)

By booking our services, you agree to provide Mikiki Cleaning Service with safe and reasonable access to the property on the scheduled service date and time.

You are responsible for ensuring that we are able to enter the property at the agreed time. This may include providing keys, access codes, concierge arrangements, or someone on-site to grant entry.

If we are unable to access the property upon arrival, we may treat the booking as a late cancellation and a call-out or cancellation fee may apply.

You confirm that you have the authority to grant access to the property and that all necessary permissions have been obtained from the property owner, landlord, real estate agent, or building management where applicable.

For security reasons, we recommend that clients provide clear access instructions in advance. Mikiki is not responsible for delays or service limitations caused by restricted or incorrect access information.

If we are required to lock up after completing the service, we will do so using the same method provided for entry (e.g. key return, lockbox, or secure placement as instructed). We take reasonable care when handling keys or access devices, but we are not liable for keys left in unsecured or unsafe arrangements.

3. Quotes & Pricing

Quotes are based on information provided by the client, including property size, condition, and requested services.

Final pricing may change if:

  • The actual condition requires significantly more work;

  • Additional rooms or areas are requested;

  • Heavy dirt, grease build-up, mould, pet hair, or excessive clutter increases cleaning time;

  • Extra services are added.

Clients will be informed before additional charges apply whenever reasonably possible. 

4. Booking Confirmation

A booking is considered confirmed once agreed between the client and Mikiki through phone, message, email, website, or other communication channels.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel bookings where necessary.

Any outstanding invoices remaining unpaid after 14 days may be subject to further recovery action, with any reasonable costs associated with recovering unpaid amounts payable by the client where permitted by law.
