Once signed, this contract takes effect immediately. It will end on that date which is three (3) years after the date on which the last Party signs this Agreement and may be extended or modified from time to time upon the agreement of the parties.
You are hiring Us to provide on premises organizing, downsizing, relocation, and estate liquidation services including, but not limited to: inventory, organization, sale, and disposal of personal property (“Property”), and such other services all as more specifically set forth and governed by any and all Scope of Work Agreements/Proposals/Estimates entered into between the Parties from time to time, as amended (the “Services”).
All Scope of Work Agreements, if any, are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Scope of Work and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

2. Independent Contractor Relationship
Company, its agents, employees, and representatives, shall remain independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed to create a partnership, agency, joint venture, or employment relationship between the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client agrees that Company may act as and hold itself out as Client’s agent for the purposes of negotiating and accepting payment for or disposing of the Property. Further, in connection with this independent contractor relationship, the Parties agree that Client will not require Company to work exclusively for Client; pay a salary—rather, Company will furnish invoices to Client; provide tools or benefits to Company; dictate the time of performance (aside from deliverables schedules); or require that Company perform services at the business location of Client.

You specifically agree that Company will not be held liable for any decisions or actions to discard goods or materials subject to a general instruction from You. For example, You will not hold us responsible if You instruct us to “get rid of everything in here” and it is later determined that important or valuable items were discarded.
If You are providing organizing, storage, or moving products, all products must be available for use at the Premises prior to the first date of work.
If Your belongings contain confidential or privileged information or medical data, it is your responsibility to identify such items to Us.
