The monthly billing model is designed to absorb ordinary calendar and weather interruptions without recurring invoice adjustments.
Four-week monthly billing
Monthly service fees are calculated using four service weeks per month, or 48 billed service weeks per year. The calendar contains additional weekly service dates beyond those 48 billed weeks, and those additional weeks are not separately charged. This structure accounts for the scheduled year-end closure, inclement weather, unsafe working conditions, and occasional unavoidable interruptions. Monthly fees are not prorated, and credits are not issued for abbreviated, rescheduled, weather-affected, or missed service visits.
Inclement weather + unsafe conditions
Heavy rain, lightning or electrical storms, extreme heat, ice, snow, and other unsafe conditions may require A&C Pools to abbreviate a visit, provide chemical-only service, reschedule the visit, or omit service for that week. No credit or prorated adjustment will be provided because these interruptions are accounted for in the four-week monthly billing structure.
Regular holidays
When Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, or Thanksgiving falls on a customer’s scheduled weekday service day, A&C Pools will reschedule that service. The year-end closure below applies separately to Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Year-end closure
A&C Pools will be closed for one week around the Christmas holiday, generally from December 25 through January 1. The exact dates may vary slightly from year to year and will be communicated when needed. Pools will not be serviced during this closure. The monthly service rate already reflects this scheduled break, and no credit or prorated adjustment will be issued.
Conditions outside our control
A&C Pools is not responsible for damage caused by acts of nature, fire, vandalism, misuse, abuse, unauthorized third-party work, a customer’s failure to follow recommended maintenance or repair advice, or products A&C Pools did not supply or use. Pool equipment naturally deteriorates from age, chemical exposure, sunlight, weather, and ordinary use.
Reporting a suspected missed visit
If a customer believes a scheduled visit was missed, the customer must contact A&C Pools within 24 hours after the scheduled service day. A&C Pools will investigate using available service records and technician information. If the investigation confirms that the pool was not serviced, A&C Pools will schedule a make-up visit. If the records confirm that service was completed, no make-up visit will be provided. Missed-visit concerns are resolved through this investigation and make-up process rather than through a credit or refund.
