Terms Of Service Agreement
Accepting your Estimate/Invoice:
In order to confirm an installation time frame with Santa's Helpers Inc. (SHI) for the current season, a 50% down
payment (going toward your balance) is required along with the below accepted/signed Terms of Service
Agreement. This full Agreement will remain in effect for subsequent years as long as the client continues service
year to year or until SHI deems a new Agreement is warranted.
Understanding your Estimate/Invoice:
Estimated costs will include material listed, installation of material listed, service on material listed, removal of
material listed and storage of SHI product (unless otherwise noted, we store only product purchased through SHI).
Installation:
We will communicate with you via Text and Email to coordinate your installation date range. Clients do not have
to be home the day of installation. Please be sure we have your updated cell phone number and email address
on file.
Timers / Starting your Light Display –
Once your display is installed, it set to begin / turn on that evening from 5pm-midnight (unless otherwise communicated to us via email at info@mysantashelpers.net). If you wish to have a different time frame, please let us know prior to installation and it must be tracked on your estimate/invoice.
All lights will be plugged in after installation (regardless of when installation is done).
1. Please check your display the evening of installation and let us know immediately if anything needs
adjustment.
2. If you don’t’ want the display to be ‘lit’ just yet, you should unplug the cord from the timer(s) and leave the
plug on the ground.
3. DO NOT unplug the timer from the outlet as this may cause the time of day to be wrong.
4. When you want your display to begin for the holiday season, simply plug the cord from the ground back into the back side of the timer. The timer (if left plugged in) should hold the proper time. No adjustments should be needed.

2. After your done enjoying your holiday, feel free to turn off your light display for the
season by simply unplugging the cord from the timer. Then, after the winter thaw and when weather

Winter Thaw - While we make every attempt to contact clients regarding light removal during the winter thaw,
