3Dispatch & Service CoordinationHow we schedule, route, and coordinate your service
All dispatch functions are managed solely by NorTech’s internal operations team. Technicians and subcontractors may not independently schedule, modify, or coordinate appointments.
Dispatch priority is determined by membership tier, urgency level, technician specialization, geographic proximity, material availability, and safety considerations.
Requests must be received before 10:00 AM for regular services — no cut-off for emergencies. Same-day appointments are not guaranteed. A Same-Day Dispatch Fee may apply and may be waived for qualifying membership tiers.

The Customer must provide clear access to the work area, secure pets and hazards, be present or designate an authorized contact, and disclose special access instructions. Failure may result in rescheduling fees.
Technicians are dispatched solely to perform on-site tasks per the Work Order. They may NOT provide pricing, collect payments, modify schedules, or negotiate terms. All such requests must go to NorTech Customer Support.
Customers must provide at least 24 hours’ notice. See Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy for full fee details.
NorTech is not liable for delays or incomplete service caused by restricted access, unsafe conditions, incorrect instructions, or lack of on-site contact.

Once an emergency technician is dispatched, the service cannot be canceled. The Customer is responsible for the full dispatch fee even if the issue resolves before arrival. Emergency services are NOT covered under the 1-Year Labor Warranty or 72-Hour Satisfaction Review.
NorTech observes: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. Emergency services remain available on holidays. Standard services may be limited and holiday surcharges may apply.
NorTech does not guarantee same-day service, immediate technician availability, or availability during peak seasons or natural disasters. NorTech’s obligation is limited to reasonable efforts based on available resources.
524/7 Support & Ticket SystemHow to submit tickets · response times · eligible topics · closure rules
NorTech’s support system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays via the Customer Portal, the support ticket system, and in-app support where available.

Submitting a ticket does not override any Terms, modify warranty coverage, or guarantee a specific outcome. Escalations requiring legal examination must follow NorTech’s Dispute Resolution Process (Section 21).
6Geographic Coverage, Service Availability & Regional Limitations50 states · regional variations · permits · remote area fees
NorTech provides services across all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Availability in specific ZIP codes is not guaranteed.
NorTech complies with all applicable state contractor licensing laws, local building codes, permit and inspection requirements, and environmental regulations.
Unless expressly stated in writing, the Customer is responsible for obtaining all required permits, approvals, and inspections. Work performed without required permits voids all warranties.
Certain locations may incur additional fees including travel surcharges, mileage fees, and extended-distance dispatch fees.
NorTech may delay or cancel services if conditions pose a safety risk. NorTech is not liable for delays caused by weather or natural events.
Pricing may vary by region due to local labor rates, material availability, travel distance, taxes, and seasonal demand. All pricing is disclosed in the Work Order or Estimate.
7Booking, Scheduling, Cancellation & ReschedulingHow to book · cancellation fees · no-show policy
Customers may book via online portal, phone, SMS, or email. A booking is not confirmed until NorTech issues a written or electronic confirmation containing the date, arrival window, and preliminary scope of work.
| Action | Notice Required | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Advance Cancellation | ≥ 24 hours before start | No Fee |
| Late Cancellation | < 24 hours before start | 30% of quoted price (min $75, max $300) |

| Action | Notice | Fee |

| Advance Rescheduling | ≥ 24 hours | No Fee |
| Late Rescheduling | < 24 hours | 30% of quoted price |
A No-Show occurs when the Customer is not present, does not answer calls, access instructions are incorrect, or required utilities are unavailable. Repeated no-shows may result in permanent service refusal.
NorTech may refuse or terminate service if the Customer is abusive or threatening, conditions are unsafe, the Customer requests illegal work, or fraud is suspected. Termination does not relieve the Customer of payment obligations for work already performed.
8Pricing, Estimates, Payment Terms & Financial PoliciesPricing model · estimates · payment terms · refunds · chargebacks
NorTech uses a hybrid pricing model including flat-rate pricing for standardized tasks, hourly labor billed in 15-minute increments, diagnostic fees, travel fees, after-hours surcharges (+25%), emergency premiums (1.5×), material charges, and permit or compliance fees.
All estimates are non-binding unless a written contract explicitly states “Fixed Price.” Estimates may change if hidden conditions are discovered, Customer requests scope changes, or Customer-supplied information was inaccurate. Diagnostic fees are non-refundable even if the Customer declines further work.
Payment is due immediately upon service completion. Accepted methods: major credit/debit cards, ACH/bank transfer, cash (select regions), and pre-approved BNPL options. Returned checks incur a $50 fee.
Invoices become past-due after 15 days. Past-due balances accrue 1.5% interest per month plus a $35 collection fee. NorTech may suspend future services until outstanding balances are paid.
Refunds are issued only for services not performed, billing errors, and duplicate charges. Refunds are NOT issued for labor already performed, diagnostic fees, deposits, special-order materials, or emergency services.
The Customer agrees not to initiate a credit card chargeback for dissatisfaction, warranty claims, or issues covered under the Satisfaction Guarantee. Unauthorized chargebacks constitute a breach of these Terms and incur a $75 administrative fee.
The Customer is responsible for all sales tax, use tax, environmental fees, and applicable state or local taxes. Taxes are calculated based on the service location.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS: Under the laws of most U.S. states, contractors who provide labor or materials for improvements to real property have the right to enforce a mechanic’s lien against your property if not paid. NorTech reserves the right to file a mechanic’s lien against any property where services were rendered in the event of non-payment, in accordance with applicable state law.
- Lien rights apply to all unpaid invoices for labor performed or materials furnished at a property
- NorTech will provide required written notice before filing a lien where mandated by state law
- The Customer is responsible for all lien filing costs, recording fees, and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred to enforce payment
- Property owners who are not the contracting party (e.g., landlords) are advised that services requested by tenants may give rise to lien rights against the property
Mechanic’s lien procedures, notice requirements, and deadlines vary by state. Customers with questions should consult a local attorney.
For any project with a contracted value of $10,000 or more, NorTech requires the Customer to maintain adequate property insurance covering the full replacement value of the property. Upon NorTech’s written request, the Customer agrees to provide proof of insurance and to name NorTech Services, LLC as an additional insured for the duration of the project. Failure to provide required proof of insurance may result in NorTech suspending or declining to commence work.
9Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) Payment OptionsKlarna · Afterpay · Affirm · eligibility · obligations
BNPL services are administered exclusively by third-party providers including Klarna, Afterpay, and Affirm. NorTech does not issue credit, determine eligibility, or modify repayment terms. By selecting BNPL, the Customer enters into a separate financing agreement with the BNPL Provider.
Once a BNPL transaction is approved, the BNPL Provider pays NorTech directly, and the Customer pays the BNPL Provider per their repayment schedule. Failure to pay the BNPL Provider does not cancel the Customer’s obligation to NorTech for completed services.
Any approved refund for BNPL transactions is issued directly to the BNPL Provider, not the Customer. BNPL refunds do not override NorTech’s policies regarding special-order materials, completed labor, or dispatch fees.
Service-related disputes must be submitted to NorTech through the Dispute Resolution Process (Section 21). Financing-related disputes must be directed to the BNPL Provider directly.
BNPL may not be available for emergency services, accounts with outstanding balances, or customers with repeated cancellations or chargebacks. NorTech reserves the right to restrict BNPL usage at its discretion.
11Service Delivery Standards & Quality AssuranceWorkmanship · documentation · quality control
All services are expected to meet applicable industry standards, local building and safety codes, manufacturer specifications, OSHA requirements, and NorTech’s internal quality benchmarks.
Before work begins, the technician may conduct a site walkthrough, photo or video documentation of existing conditions, assessment of access and utility availability, and confirmation of scope with the Customer.
NorTech documents services through photos/videos of the work area before, during, and after; GPS check-in/check-out data; technician time logs; material usage reports; and Customer-signed completion forms.
A service is considered complete when all contracted tasks are performed per the Work Order, the work area is cleaned, the Customer signs the completion form, and NorTech generates a final invoice.
NorTech conducts post-service quality reviews including automated satisfaction surveys, supervisor review of flagged jobs, and recurring technician performance evaluations.
Defects must be reported within the 72-Hour Satisfaction Review window (Section 16). Reports must include photos or videos, a written description, and the original Work Order number.
NorTech is not responsible for service failures caused by Customer misuse or neglect, pre-existing conditions, natural wear and tear, third-party modifications, or Customer-supplied materials.
12Materials, Parts & Equipment PolicyParts sourcing · customer-supplied materials · warranties · returns
NorTech sources materials through vetted suppliers and manufacturer-authorized distributors. Materials may be new, refurbished, or equivalent-grade unless OEM parts are requested in writing.
NorTech provides no warranty for materials, parts, or equipment supplied by the Customer. If Customer-supplied materials fail or cause damage, the Customer is solely responsible. The 1-Year Labor Warranty does not apply to work performed using Customer-supplied materials.
Special-order parts require a non-refundable deposit, may have extended lead times (1–6+ weeks), and are non-returnable once ordered.
Unused materials returned at the Customer’s request may be subject to restocking fees of 15–25%. Materials installed and then removed at Customer request are non-refundable.
NorTech will not knowingly handle materials containing asbestos, lead, or toxic chemicals without specialized certification. If hazardous materials are discovered during service, work will be paused and the Customer will be notified.
Materials installed by NorTech become the property of the Customer upon full payment. Removed or replaced materials may be discarded unless the Customer requests their return before service begins.
13Communication Standards & Channel ProtocolsAuthorized channels · prohibited conduct · direct contact rules

Prohibited conduct includes: threatening or harassing communications, defamatory statements, attempts to solicit technicians for off-platform work, impersonating NorTech employees, and submitting false claims.

151-Year Labor WarrantyWhat’s covered · exclusions · claim process · void conditions
NorTech warrants that all labor on standard services will be free from defects in workmanship for one (1) year from the date of service completion. This warranty covers labor only.
Defects in workmanship by NorTech technicians · Failures directly attributable to improper installation or technique · Workmanship deficiencies identified within the 12-month period · Re-performance of covered work at no additional labor charge.
Materials, parts, or equipment · Customer-supplied materials · Emergency or after-hours services · Damage caused by Customer misuse or modification · Pre-existing conditions · Natural wear and tear · Third-party modifications after NorTech’s work · Unpaid invoices or open balances.
The warranty begins on the service completion date and runs for 12 consecutive months. It is not extended, paused, or renewed under any circumstances, including warranty repairs.
Step 1 — Report: Submit a ticket through the Customer Portal within the warranty period. Include original Work Order number, service date, defect description, and photos/videos.
Step 2 — Review: NorTech reviews the claim within 5 business days.
Step 3 — Inspection: NorTech may dispatch a technician for on-site inspection at NorTech’s expense if the claim is valid.
Step 4 — Resolution: If approved, NorTech will schedule remedial labor at no additional labor charge. Materials for remedial work are charged at prevailing rates.
The warranty is automatically voided if the Customer fails to pay any outstanding invoice, permits unauthorized modifications, a third-party contractor modifies the covered work, or the Customer uses completed work outside normal operating parameters.
The warranty remedy is limited to re-performance of covered labor. NorTech’s maximum warranty liability is the original labor cost paid. The warranty does not cover consequential damages, incidental losses, or lost income.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NORTECH DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE 1-YEAR LABOR WARRANTY IS THE SOLE EXPRESS WARRANTY PROVIDED BY NORTECH.
NorTech installs parts and materials sourced from third-party manufacturers and suppliers. NorTech makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding the fitness, merchantability, or safety of third-party parts or materials supplied by NorTech. Any defect, failure, or malfunction of a third-party part or material โ including defects that cause property damage, personal injury, or consequential loss โ is the sole responsibility of the manufacturer or supplier. The Customer’s exclusive remedy for defective third-party parts is through the applicable manufacturer warranty. NorTech will reasonably assist the Customer in identifying the manufacturer and warranty contact information but assumes no liability for manufacturer defects. This disclaimer applies regardless of whether NorTech selected, sourced, or installed the part.
1672-Hour Satisfaction GuaranteeReview window · remedial visits · resolution standards · auto-acceptance
The 72-hour review window begins at the time of service completion as recorded by NorTech’s system. Reports submitted after 72 hours may not qualify and will be evaluated under the standard warranty policy.
Within 72 hours: submit a support ticket through the Customer Portal; include the Work Order number, service date, description of the concern, and supporting photos or videos. NorTech acknowledges within 24 hours and schedules a response within 48 hours.
If a concern is validated, NorTech schedules a remedial visit within 48 hours of approval at no additional labor charge. Remedial visits are limited to one (1) per service unless otherwise approved.
If the Customer does not report dissatisfaction within 72 hours, the service is automatically deemed accepted as satisfactory. Auto-acceptance does not waive rights under the 1-Year Labor Warranty.
The Satisfaction Guarantee does not apply to: emergency services, aesthetic preferences not defined in the Work Order, Customer-supplied materials, pre-existing conditions, damage caused by Customer actions after service, or services with open payment disputes.
Resolution means the workmanship deficiency has been corrected to industry standards and the system is fully functional. Resolution does not require the Customer’s personal satisfaction if the work meets objective workmanship standards.

Before initiating formal proceedings, both parties must attempt informal resolution in good faith. The party asserting a dispute must provide written notice with a description and proposed resolution. The parties have 30 days to resolve informally.
If informal resolution fails, all disputes must be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator’s decision is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. This waiver is a material term of this agreement.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOTH PARTIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL DISPUTES SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS.
For any dispute not subject to arbitration โ including claims for injunctive relief and small claims matters โ the exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall be the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware.

You have the right to opt out of the binding arbitration and class action waiver by sending written notice to legal@nortech.site within 30 days of first using NorTech’s services.

Suspended accounts may be eligible for reinstatement if all outstanding balances are paid, the cause of suspension is resolved, and a written reinstatement request is submitted. NorTech may require a deposit as a condition.
23Force MajeureDefinition · NorTech obligations · customer rights · resumption
Any event beyond NorTech’s reasonable control that prevents or delays performance: natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest, government-ordered shutdowns, pandemics, labor strikes, supply chain failures, utility outages, cyberattacks, or regulatory actions.
NorTech will notify affected Customers as soon as reasonably practicable, suspend affected services without liability, and make reasonable efforts to reschedule. NorTech is not liable for any damages resulting from Force Majeure delays.
Customers will be offered rescheduling without cancellation fees. Prepaid services will be held as credits unless NorTech determines a refund is appropriate.
If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than 60 consecutive days, either party may terminate affected service agreements without penalty. NorTech will issue proportional credits or refunds for prepaid, uncompleted services.
24Miscellaneous ProvisionsEntire agreement · waiver · severability · assignment · notices
These Terms, together with any signed Work Orders, Estimates, Membership Agreements, and incorporated policies, constitute the entire agreement between NorTech and the Customer. They supersede all prior negotiations, representations, and agreements.
NorTech’s failure to enforce any provision at any time does not waive NorTech’s right to enforce it in the future. No waiver is effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized NorTech officer.
If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it is modified only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. All remaining provisions remain valid and in full force.
The Customer may not assign any rights or obligations without NorTech’s prior written consent. NorTech may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
Legal notices to NorTech must be submitted in writing to legal@nortech.site or via certified mail to NorTech’s registered Delaware address.
Nothing in these Terms creates an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, or agency between NorTech and the Customer or between NorTech and its technicians.
These Terms and associated agreements may be executed, stored, and delivered electronically. Electronic records and signatures are legally equivalent to physical documents under the U.S. E-SIGN Act and applicable UETA statutes.
