All UP Snow Blowing LLC TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SERVICE
2025-2026 Seasonal Contract
All UP Snow Blowing LLC, hereafter referred to as “The Contractor”.
1. SCOPE OF SNOW CLEARING SERVICES
“Snow clearing” refers specifically to the blowing of snow from a described physical area to any permissible area nearby.
This contract does not include:
- Snow stacking or hauling
- Sanding, salting, or de-icing
- Hand shoveling of any kind
2. RIGHT TO ACCESS
The Contractor shall be permitted to clear snow from your property at any time.
3. SNOW CLEARING SERVICE POLICY
Service Activation Timing
Snow clearing will commence within 24 hours after an accumulation of approximately 2 inches or within 12 hours after an accumulation of approximately 6 inches.
Follow-Up After City Plows
The Contractor will perform follow-up visits within 24 hours after the city has plowed all routes with their loaders or graders.
If berms are created for only a few homes, the Contractor will likely wait to clear until more properties are affected. As a result, the client should expect occasional periods where they may need to drive over snow, especially if you live on a main road.
Sidewalk Plow Berms
The contractor tracks and responds to city road plows and does not track sidewalk plows. Therefore, removal of berms left in driveways from city sidewalk plows is not guaranteed.
Snowfall Measurement & Dispatch Criteria
When determining whether tractor dispatch, the Contractor uses measured snowfall accumulation to assess whether the 2-inch minimum service threshold has been met. Snow drift depths are not considered in this evaluation.
4. MAT BUILDUP
The Contractor is not required to remove snow mat built up (i.e. compacted snow) on the driveway as a part of standard service.
However, the Contractor may perform periodic mat scraping at their discretion, based on the overall condition of serviced driveways.
Clients may also request one-time mat scraping service for an additional fee.
5. ONE-TIME SERVICE REQUESTS
During Planned Clearing Dispatches
If they are completed during a scheduled clearing dispatch and takes 5 minutes or less, it will be included in the seasonal rate.
Any time beyond 5 minutes will be billed at $3.25 per minute.
Within 24 Hours (Client-Scheduled)
If the client requests that the service be completed within the next 24 hours, the fee is $75 for the first 20 minutes, plus $3.25 per additional minute.
Note: The Contractor does not guarantee availability to complete the request within this time frame.
As Soon As Possible (Priority Request)
If the client requests immediate or priority service, the fee is $150 for the first 20 minutes, plus $3.25 per additional minute.
Note: The Contractor makes no guarantee of availability for immediate requests.
6. SNOW CLEARING OBLIGATION
The Contractor is only obligated to clear fallen snow from the driveway and designated areas as a part of this agreement. Snow that has slid off other surfaces, such as roofs, into the clearing area will not be cleared under the terms of this contract. However, the client may request one-time clearing of non-fallen snow for an additional fee.
7. CONTRACT TERM & SNOWFALL SURCHARGE
The term of this contract is from October 1 to June 1 of the specified season, or until a total snowfall accumulation of 400 inches is reached, whichever comes first.
If snowfall exceeds 400 inches, the client agrees to pay a proportional surcharge based on the contract amount.
For example, if your seasonal rate is $895 and snowfall totals 500 inches, the surcharge would be: $895 ÷ 400” × 100” = $223.75
Important Note: We have never invoked a surcharge (the current record is 390″), and we have no intention of doing so under normal conditions. This clause exists solely as a safeguard in the event of an exceptional, record-breaking winter.
Official snowfall totals will be taken from the Keweenaw County website: https://keweenawcountyonline.org/snowfall2.php
8. NO LOADER GUARANTEE & SNOW STORAGE POLICY
The “No Loader Guarantee” ensures that at no point will a front-end loader be required to push snowbanks back due to a lack of on-site snow storage.
However, this guarantee does not apply to driveways where the available snow storage area (in square feet) is less than the cleared driveway area. In cases where there is insufficient snow storage on the client’s property—either at the start of the season or as conditions evolve—the client agrees to allow the Contractor to arrange alternate snow storage with a neighboring property, if possible.
If such alternate arrangements cannot be made, the Contractor may recommend off-site snow hauling, billed at $150 per 4-yard dump load.
The Contractor will always discuss and confirm the need for snow hauling with the client prior to any removal.
9. VEHICLE PARKING & SNOW CLEARING POLICY
If vehicles are parked in the driveway at the time of clearing, the Contractor will only clear accessible areas that open directly to the street. Areas blocked by parked vehicles will not be cleared.
If you typically park outside, we recommend rotating your parking location between storms to ensure your driveway is cleared over time.
For example, if you have two vehicles, park them end-to-end on one side of the driveway so the other side remains fully accessible. Prior to the next scheduled full clearing dispatch, park the vehicles on the other side. This way, during our next visit, we can clear the section that was previously blocked.
10. SAFETY AROUND EQUIPMENT
When the tractor is in your driveway, it is the clients’ responsibility to ensure that all people, children, and pets are kept at a safe distance from the snowblower and machinery at all times.
For your safety and the efficiency of our clearing process, we strongly recommend clients contact All UP Customer Support (support@allupsnowblowing.com) to relay messages about your clearing preferences to your operator.
If you need to speak with the operator when they are at your location, please follow these steps before approaching the tractor:
- Make sure the operator sees you.
- Wait for the snowblower to be shut off.
- Wait for the machine to be idled down.
These precautions are essential for everyone’s safety.
11. PROPERTY & DAMAGE LIABILITY
The Contractor shall not be held responsible for damages to objects in the designated snow clearing area including, but not limited to: basketball nets, garbage, garbage cans, recycling bins, plant pots, toys, hockey sticks, extension cords, Christmas lights, etc. Please remove all articles from the driveway prior to each snowstorm.
12. EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY PREPARATION
To ensure safe and efficient snow clearing, the following preparations are required:
• Basketball Nets: Must be turned or elevated to at least 10 feet to provide adequate clearance for the equipment.
• Gutter Downpipe Extensions: Should be removed prior to the start of the winter season.
• Elevated Water Main Caps: If present in the driveway, should be hammered down level with the surrounding surface. For help with this, contact us or your city office.
The client is responsible for completing these preparations.
13. PERSONAL LIABILITY
§ The Contractor shall not be held liable for personal injury or slip-and-falls accidents. The Contractor is solely responsible for the clearing of snow and does not ensure a safe or slip-free surface.
§ The Contractor shall not be held responsible for any damages caused by icy or slippery conditions.
14. MARKERS
The Contractor will install two border markers on the street side of the driveway prior to the snow clearing season. It is the client’s responsibility to supply and install additional markers around immovable objects such as retaining walls, steps, elevated patio stones, wheelchair ramps, etc., which may become invisible when covered by snow.
15. PROPERTY DAMAGE
The Contractor will not be liable for any scratches, rust marks or damage caused to heaved, chipped or uneven asphalt or interlock surfaces.
16. PAYMENT DEFAULT AND BREACH OF CONTRACT
In the event of default in payment or breach of any of the conditions herein on the part of the client, this contract shall be rendered null and void. The Contractor shall be released from all liability and will not be required to perform any further services under this agreement.
Should the Contractor be proven to be in breach of any of the conditions herein, this contract may be canceled by the client, and the client will be reimbursed the prorated amount paid.
17. MONTHLY PAYMENTS
Clients who opt for monthly payments are required to make six payments on the first of each month, from November through April. If client is more than one month late in payment, a cancellation of service notice will be mailed. This notice will provide the client with two weeks to pay the overdue balance, or their service will be cancelled.
18. SALE OR RE-OCCUPATION
In the event of sale or re-occupation of the client’s property, this contract will not be canceled or refunded. However, the contract may be transferred to the new occupants or transferred to the new location, provided it is within the current service area.
