Services
Utah Relocations (UR) is owned and operated by E & R LLC. UR provides  services to their clients in accordance with the client’s requests, provided that all requests are, at the sole discretion of Utah Relocations, for lawful, ethical and moral house minding services in respect of the personal needs of the client.

If an errand reaches past the 30 minute increment then the hourly rate is billed (example, if the duration of the service is 1 hour and 45 minutes, the client will be billed for 2 hours). Time is billed from the time we leave our office to commence the house minding duties and ends upon leaving the clients home or when the task is complete, if finished outside of the home.

Pick up and drop off addresses must be a reputable place of business, hotel or residence. All pick up and drop off locations must be safe to enter. Further more if the concierge feels in danger or uncomfortable at any time the client will be notified and another arrangement will be made. These are safety protocols for our concierge’s and others. By using our services you agree to this strict policy.

Pricing
Services are based on an hourly rate.  The hourly rate is subject to change. Minimum charge is a one hour service fee then additional time is charged in half hour increments. Services must be booked and paid for at least one week in advance to ensure availability of service.

The hourly rate is based on our standard business hours (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm except public/statutory holidays) and one weeks notice must be given to book a house minding job. A 50% surcharge is added to the hourly rate should you require services after-hours or on statutory holidays. Some exceptions to the rate may be made by prior arrangement and approved by Utah Relocations.

If the job covers an extended period of time, such as 2+ months, the monthly service will be billed the week before the next month commences.

If the client has an urgent request while away and it is less than 24 hours notice the hourly rate is doubled. Please note that we will do everything we can to accomodate but urgent requests are subject to availability.

Mileage fee
The first 10 miles per visit is complimentary. No charge. Miles are calculated from our closest office (our offices are in Pleasant View, Ogden & Kaysville) to the clients residence. Overage mileage beyond the 10 miles per visit is charged at $1.20/mile.

Cancellation
No cancellation fee is charged if cancelled before 48 hrs of rendering services. In this regard you will be given a full refund. If cancelled within 48 hours a 50% fee is charged. If cancelled the same day of service no refund is given and the full amount is charged.

Please note that our concierge schedules are set on a weekly basis with some minor tweaks 3 days before commencing the job, if needed. We still have to pay our concierges if you cancel within 48 hours. That is why there is a charge for cancelling close to the booking.  

A dedicated concierge will be appointed to you however, there may be times when your concierge is unavailable due to inclement weather, sickness, vacation or for any other reason. We will provide a sub-concierge to fill in for your principal concierge.

Billing
Client must complete the credit card authorization form which will be kept on file and Client will be charged for any outstanding concierge services rendered. Credit card information must be up to date. If a new card is issued – a new authorization form must be completed.

Utah Relocations will send you an online link to complete payment electronically.

Cash or check is accepted upon prior arrangement to approved Clients only. No cash or check will be accepted on the first 3 house minding jobs. A $35 service fee is charged for returned checks.

Corporate accounts may be approved by prior arrangement to be billed monthly and must be paid in full within the month following by credit/debit card or company check. Any checks that cannot be processed because of insufficient funds will be charged a $35 fee on top of the balance owing to recover bank fees.

Payments rendered are considered fully earned and non-refundable. Only exception is as per our cancellation policy.

Other Expenses
Client is responsible for all purchases and third party vendor purchases.

Expenses we incur on behalf of Client are not included in any concierge fees and will be the Client’s responsibility to pay. Should a concierge make a purchase on behalf of the Client, there will be a 10% service fee added to the purchase amount to be reimbursed by the Client. We recommend the Client pay for goods and services prior to the concierge collecting any item to avoid the 10% service fee or provide a payment method for a concierge to make the purchase on the Client’s behalf.

Added expenses may include, but not limited to, parking fees, excessive mileage (over 10 miles), groceries, urgent shipping costs etc. We will provide proof of receipt on any additional expenses.
