How Our Service Works
We reserve the right in our sole
and absolute discretion to make changes from time to time and without
notice in how we operate our services.
Slate Wardrobe®
Slate Wardrobe® is a clothes cleaning service providing its users with
pickup, cleaning, and delivery of their clothes. We offer a variety of
service levels tailored to each individual user’s habits.
By starting your Slate Wardrobe® membership, you are expressly agreeing
that we are authorized to charge you a monthly, quarterly, or yearly
membership fee, any applicable tax and any other charges you may incur
in connection with your use of the Slate Wardrobe® service to the
Payment Method you provided during registration (or to a different
Payment Method if you change your account information). The membership
fee will be billed at the beginning of your membership and on each
monthly, quarterly, or yearly period thereafter unless and until you
cancel your membership. We will automatically bill your Payment Method
four weeks, thirteen weeks, or fifty-two weeks after commencement of
your membership depending on your payment preference selected when you
signed up. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary
from month to month for reasons that include, differing amounts of
items cleaned than those included in your package and/or differing
amounts due to changes in your membership plan and you authorize us to
charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts. All fees and
charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for
partially used periods. We may change the fees and charges in effect,
or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you
advance notice of these changes by email. If you want to use a
different Payment Method or if there is a change in your credit card
validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method
information by clicking on the "My Account" button. If your Payment
Method reaches its expiration date, your continued use of the service
constitutes your authorization for us to continue billing that Payment
Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
Your Slate Wardrobe® membership will continue in effect unless
and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You must
cancel your membership before it renews each month in order to avoid
billing of the next month's membership fees to your Payment Method. We
will bill the monthly membership fee plus any applicable tax to the
Payment Method you provide to us during registration (or to a different
Payment Method if you change your account information).
You may cancel your Slate Wardrobe® membership at anytime, and cancellation
will be effective immediately. To cancel, please send an email with the
subject line "CANCEL MEMBERSHIP" to support@slatenyc.com.
WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH MEMBERSHIP PERIODS.
Inventory
As an added convenience to our customers,
we do not take inventory when picking up garments and we do not require
a signed delivery confirmation.
We take inventory of the
items you entrust us as follows: Once we get to our cleaning plant we
break the seal on your hamper and itemize each garment. This process is
recorded in digital video, which serves as proof of garments received.
We keep video records for one week after the initial inventory date.
Because we are not confirming inventory at pickup or at
delivery, you expressly agree that what our records show is what we
received and delivered.
If you are including in your hamper an item worth more than
$1,000 retail price, please let us know before your scheduled pickup by
sending an email to info@slatenyc.com. We are not liable for loss or
damages to garments worth more than $1,000 retail price if you fail to
follow this policy.
Delivery
We always strive to pick up and deliver on
time. However, the safety of our employees, other motorists and
pedestrians takes precedence. In cases of inclement weather, traffic
congestion, civil disturbance or other occurrences beyond our control
it may be necessary to make adjustments to our delivery schedule, which
will cause us to suspend chosen delivery dates and times. If there will
be a significant delay we will post the status of your delivery time on
our website. We will endeavor to deliver your order the first possible
moment the conditions permit. If your designated delivery location is
impossible or difficult to access, or the delivery otherwise onerous or
impossible, we will endeavor to contact you to determine an alternate
location and/or date. If you live in a doorman building, we will pick
up your Slate hamper from your doorman by the pickup time you
requested. The delivery will be made to your doorman by the delivery
time you requested.
Our Quality Standard
We exercise care in processing
articles entrusted to us and use such processes which, in our opinion,
are best suited to the nature and condition of each individual article.
Our Warranty
Slate Wardrobe® is backed by a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. If you are
dissatisfied for any reason, we want to make it right. If you are not
satisfied with the quality of our cleaning, please contact us. If
appropriate, in our opinion, we shall reprocess your garment at no
additional charge. Please refer to the “Warranty Disclaimer.”
Limitations
Because of the volume of garments we
receive we cannot always honor individual customer’s cleaning
instructions. Despite our intent to identify problem garments in
advance, we cannot assume responsibility for inherent weaknesses of or
defects in materials that are not readily apparent prior to processing.
This applies particularly, but not exclusively, to suedes, leathers,
furs, silks, satins, double-face fabrics, vinyls and polyurethanes.
Responsibility also is disclaimed for trimmings, buckles,
beads, buttons, belts and sequins. We are not responsible for
sunfading, color loss due to non-fast dyes of colors that shall not
withstand the selected cleaning process or solvents, holes or tears due
to the degradation of the fabric while hanging, ordinary wear and tear
and shrinkage due to improper preshrinkage of manufacturers. In
laundering we cannot guarantee against color loss and shrinkage or
against damage to weak and tender fabrics. Some stains may not be
removable.
Please keep in mind, that while we aim to remove all stains,
some stains may never completely be removed. In particular, this
includes failure to follow care instructions, further complicating a
stain by using a home remedy such as water or soda, chemical damage
from spillage of alcoholic beverages, medications, perfumes, after
shaves, hair dyes, perspiration and shrinkage of garments due to
improper washing techniques.
From time to time, Slate NYC Inc. may spot a garment with a
potential problem as part of our pre-cleaning inspection process.
Issues can include but are not limited to the age of the item, the
colorfastness of the item, problematic stains, loose and/or missing
buttons and tears, and snags or excessive pilling in the fabric. Such
items are treated with special care. As a matter of corporate policy,
we always prefer to err on the side of caution rather than employ
overly aggressive cleaning techniques. We may not be able to guaranty
the results. For example, a certain garment may appear to have very old
stains and we cannot ensure that the stains will be completely removed.
For this reason, we may choose to return the item without processing
it. Slate NYC Inc. reserves the right to decline service for any item.
You do not get a refund for any item not cleaned.
Damage and Loss Policy
We must receive notice of a
claim due to damage (visible or concealed), delay, or shortage within
three calendar days after delivery of the shipment. Notice of claims
for which you are seeking more than US$50 must be in writing. All
claims must be made within the time limits set forth above.
Your notice of claim must include complete date of shipment, number of
pieces, and description of each piece. Failure to provide us with
notice in the manner and within the time limits set forth above will
result in denial of your claim, and we will have no liability or
obligation to pay your claim. The filing of a lawsuit does not
constitute compliance with these notice provisions.
Written documentation supporting the amount of your claim must be
delivered to us within the time frame specified above. Such
documentation may include original purchase invoices or expense
statements. These documents must be verifiable to our satisfaction.
We are not obligated to act on any claim until all membership charges
have been paid. The claim amount may not be deducted from these charges
or from any outstanding balance owed to us.
We are not responsible for any loss or damage after delivery to your
doorman, concierge or other apparently authorized person. We are not
responsible for any loss or damage due to handling by, storage with or
delivery by your doorman, concierge or other authorized person,
including, for instance, the erroneous delivery of your garment to a
third party cleaner.
LOST. Differences in count must be reported within the time
limits set forth above. We will contact you within three (3) business
days to resolve the dispute with you.
DAMAGED. If it is unclear who is responsible for the damage,
Slate NYC Inc. will have the garment analyzed at owners expense by an
International Fabricare Institute garment analysis laboratory.
Restitution will be made based upon the lab’s report. Our liability
shall in no event exceed $1,000 (One Thousand Dollars) for any article.
When we resolve a claim by paying full value for an item, we
reserve the right to pick up the package for salvage, and all rights,
title to, and interest in the item shall vest with us.
If we determine that Slate NYC is responsible for the loss of or damage
to an item we will refund you the replacement value up to $250 (Two
Hundred And Fifty Dollars). Refunds are made only with valid proof of
purchase. The only valid proof of purchase is an original store
receipt. The limit to this policy is $1,000 (One Thousand Dollars) per
year per customer.
You can submit claims online by clicking on New Case inside your online account area.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN THE DENIAL OF YOUR CLAIM.

satisfied with the quality of our cleaning, please contact us. If
appropriate, in our opinion, we shall redo the specific cleaning tasks until they meet your expectations.

Employee Safety
Our employees safety is very important to us. As such, Slate Cleaning Specialists
are instructed not to use ladders or move anything heavier than 35
lbs. If you would like us to clean
behind appliances like a refrigerator, oven or furniture such as a
sofa, please move it prior to the cleaning visit to allow access to the
area.
Hiring our Employees
You may not solicit our employees to be contracted or employed by you or your
affiliations for cleaning services of any kind. If you would like to
hire/contract one of our workers to work independently for you or your
affiliates, you may submit your request by informing our office in
writing. If approved, you will be required to pay
a $3,000 referral fee.
Consistency in Service
We understand that most
clients would prefer to have the same cleaning consultant consistently
clean their home. It is our goal to provide you with consistency. We
will try to provide you with a regular Slate Cleaning Specialist.
However, due to circumstances beyond our control, we cannot always
guarantee the same Slate Cleaning Specialist. We reserve the right to
change Slate Cleaning Specialists at any time. In the event of a
change, we will notify you via email. To ensure that any changes result
in a smooth transition, in most
cases we will have a quality control supervisor oversee your first
appointment change.
Window Cleaning
We understand that window
cleaning can be a very important part of having a thorough cleaning.
Outside window cleaning is not a typical daily cleaning task therefore
windows
can often become jammed and very hard to open. Hard to open windows can
affect the safety of the Slate Cleaning Specialist. To assist in our
employees safety we ask that you examine your windows prior to a window
cleaning to ensure that your windows can be easily opened. As old and
jammed windows can easily come off track or be damaged when performing
inside and out window cleanings, Slate NYC Inc. does not take
responsibility
for windows damaged during window cleaning services.
Damage and Loss Policy
Slate Clean Home Cleaning Specialists treat your home with the utmost respect. However, due to
the nature of our business, accidents can happen. Should a damage occur
to your property during a Slate Clean Home service, please notify our
office immediately after the cleaning appointment has ended. Slate NYC Inc. is not responsible for items damaged prior
to a cleaning.
Should
you have any delicate or sensitive items in your
home please notify our office representatives as we will instruct the
Slate Cleaning Specialist not to touch those items. If an item is
damaged by
our cleaning consultant we ask that you do not throw the item away as
we will need to take photographs of the item for insurance
purposes. If a receipt is not available for the damaged item and it is
clear that the item has been damaged by a Slate Cleaning Specialist,
Slate NYC
will purchase a replacement of equal value. We cannot guarantee
reimbursement for damages reported more than 48 hours after the end of
the cleaning appointment or damages that we cannot physically inspect.
Notice of claims
for which you are seeking more than US$50 must be in writing. All
claims must be made within the time limits set forth above.
Your notice of claim must include complete date of service and service tracking number. Failure to provide us with
notice in the manner and within the time limits set forth above will
result in denial of your claim, and we will have no liability or
obligation to pay your claim. The filing of a lawsuit does not
constitute compliance with these notice provisions.
Written
documentation supporting the amount of your claim must be
delivered to us within the time frame specified above. Such
documentation may include original purchase invoices or expense
statements. These documents must be verifiable to our satisfaction. We
are not obligated to act on any claim until all service charges

Slate Gift Cards and Gift Certificates
Slate Gift Cards and Gift Certificates
Gift Cards are one-time transferable memberships. The gift purchaser
("Purchaser") must transfer the Gift Card to the gift recipient
("Recipient") within one (1) year after date of purchase.
The Gift Card is transferred when the Recipient redeems the
code shown on the Gift Card. When Recipient enters the code on the
Slate NYC website (and, if not already a Slate NYC member, registers
for the service), the Gift Card will be transferred to Recipient and
redeemed for Recipient's use.
Gift Cards that are not transferred to a Recipient within one
(1) year after date of purchase will, without further notice, commence
on the day following the one (1) year anniversary date of purchase.
Slate NYC is not responsible for fulfilling any Gift Cards if
not timely redeemed by the Recipient or if Slate NYC is unable to reach
the Purchaser. There are no refunds or other credit for unredeemed Gift
Cards.
Recipient will not be charged monthly membership fees during
the Gift Card period for the Slate NYC plan selected at the time of
purchase. A valid payment method is required to redeem the membership.
Recipient's payment method will be authorized for a nominal
amount each month during the Gift Card period to assure Slate NYC has a
valid payment method on file. In some instances, Recipient's available
balance or credit limit may reflect the authorization; however, no
charges will be made against the payment method unless Recipient does
not cancel prior to the end of the Gift Card period.
At the end of the Gift Subscription period, Recipient
authorizes Slate NYC to automatically renew the membership and bill
Recipient's payment method monthly for membership fees and applicable
tax unless Recipient cancels prior to the end of the Gift Card period.
Although the membership is cancelable at anytime, there is no refund or
credit for partially used periods. Recipient can click on the "Your
Account" link for cancellation instructions. As a convenience, Slate
NYC may notify Recipient two (2) weeks prior to the Gift Card period
end that the Gift Subscription is ending and automatic monthly billing
will begin. It is Recipient's responsibility to cancel the membership
if Recipient does not wish to continue past the Gift Card period.
The Gift Card is redeemable for a consecutive-month membership
of the Slate NYC plan selected at the time of purchase, and cannot be
redeemed or used in any other manner.
Slate NYC is not responsible for lost or stolen Gift Cards, except as required by law.
Gift Cards are valid in the 50 United States and its territories and possessions only.
Gift Cards are not redeemable or refundable for cash, cannot be
resold and cannot be combined with any other special or free offers,
including other Gift Cards.
Gift Cards and their use are subject to the Slate NYC Terms and Conditions.
