Big Dogz Mobile RV Service LLC
A Texas Limited Liability Company
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the
use of the website operated by Big Dogz Mobile RV Service LLC ("Big
Dogz," "Company," "we," "our," or
"us") and the request for, purchase of, or use of services offered by
Big Dogz.
By accessing this website, submitting a service request,
accepting an estimate, scheduling an appointment, purchasing an eligible
service or maintenance plan, or otherwise using our services, you acknowledge
these Terms.
Where customer authorization or acceptance is required for
repair work, deposits, additional work, or other charges, Big Dogz may require
a separate written or electronic Service Estimate, Work Authorization &
Customer Agreement.
Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer right or remedy
that cannot lawfully be waived under applicable federal, state, or local law.
1. ABOUT BIG DOGZ
Big Dogz Mobile RV Service LLC is a Texas limited liability
company providing mobile recreational vehicle ("RV") inspection,
diagnostic, maintenance, repair, installation, and related services.
Depending upon availability, location, technician coverage,
licensing requirements, insurance coverage, and applicable law, services may be
offered for motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, campers,
and other recreational vehicles.
Availability of this website in a particular state does not
mean that every Big Dogz service or product is available in that state.
2. GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AVAILABILITY
Big Dogz may provide or coordinate services in multiple
jurisdictions.
Actual mobile repair and maintenance availability depends
upon factors including technician availability, travel distance, applicable
licensing or registration requirements, insurance coverage, parts availability,
local regulations, and operational considerations.
Big Dogz reserves the right to accept or decline a service
request based upon geographic location or other legitimate operational
considerations.
Third-party service contracts or protection products are
offered only where the applicable provider has authorized their sale and where
such products may lawfully be offered.
3. SERVICE REQUESTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED APPOINTMENTS
Submitting an online, telephone, email, or other service
request does not guarantee an appointment or obligate Big Dogz to perform the
requested work.
A service request becomes an accepted appointment only after
Big Dogz confirms the appointment.
Appointment and arrival times are estimates unless expressly
guaranteed in writing.
Mobile technicians may encounter traffic, weather, emergency
calls, delays on previous jobs, parts delays, campground access restrictions,
unsafe conditions, or circumstances outside Big Dogz's reasonable control.
4. CUSTOMER INFORMATION
Customers agree to provide accurate and complete information
when requesting service, including, where requested:
Customer
name and contact information;
Billing
information;
RV
service location;
RV
year, make, model, and VIN;
Description
of the reported problem;
Relevant
warranty or service-contract information;
Access
information for the RV's location; and
Any
known condition that could create a safety risk.
The person authorizing work represents that they own the RV
or otherwise have legal authority to authorize the requested work.
5. ACCESS TO THE RV
The customer is responsible for ensuring that Big Dogz
personnel can safely and legally access the RV at the scheduled location.
If an RV is located at a campground, RV resort, storage
facility, gated community, commercial facility, private property, or other
restricted location, the customer is responsible for obtaining necessary access
or permission.
Additional charges may apply if a technician is
substantially delayed, cannot access the RV, or must make an additional trip
because access was unavailable, provided such charges have been properly
disclosed where required.
6. DIAGNOSTIC, MOBILE SERVICE AND TRAVEL FEES
Big Dogz services may include service-call, dispatch,
mileage, travel, diagnostic, inspection, minimum labor, or similar charges.
Applicable charges will be disclosed before authorization
whenever reasonably practicable.
A diagnostic fee compensates Big Dogz for technician time,
travel, inspection, testing, troubleshooting, and professional evaluation.
Payment of a diagnostic fee does not guarantee that the
reported condition can be diagnosed or repaired during the initial visit.
Diagnostic, travel, inspection, or service-call charges may
remain payable even when the customer chooses not to proceed with recommended
repairs.
7. ESTIMATES AND QUOTES
Big Dogz may provide the customer with a written or
electronic estimate describing proposed work, anticipated parts and materials,
estimated labor, applicable fees, taxes where appropriate, and the estimated
total cost.
Estimates are based upon information and conditions
reasonably known or observable when prepared.
An estimate does not guarantee that additional defects or
conditions will not be discovered.
Such conditions may include:
Concealed
damage;
Corrosion;
Water
intrusion;
Electrical
faults;
Structural
damage;
Previous
improper repairs;
Inaccessible
components;
Additional
component failures; or
Other
conditions that could not reasonably be identified before inspection or
disassembly.
Unless otherwise stated, an estimate is not a guaranteed
final price if the customer subsequently authorizes additional work, parts,
materials, shipping, taxes, or other charges.
Big Dogz may place an expiration date on an estimate because
labor rates, parts prices, freight costs, and availability may change.
8. CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE AND WORK AUTHORIZATION
Before ordering significant parts or beginning authorized
repair work, Big Dogz may require the customer to accept and electronically or
physically sign a Service Estimate, Work Authorization & Customer
Agreement.
Customer authorization may be obtained through:
Electronic
signature;
Online
customer portal;
Email;
Text
message;
Written
signature; or
Another
documented method permitted by applicable law.
Authorization for diagnostic work does not automatically
authorize additional repairs unless expressly stated.
The customer's acceptance of an estimate authorizes only the
work reasonably identified in the accepted estimate and related authorization.
9. DEPOSITS AND ADVANCE PAYMENTS
Big Dogz may require an advance payment or percentage
deposit before:
Ordering
parts or materials;
Scheduling
substantial repair work;
Reserving
technician time;
Incurring
significant travel expenses;
Ordering
special-order components; or
Otherwise
committing substantial company resources to a customer's repair.
The required deposit amount or percentage will be disclosed
to the customer before payment.
The customer's deposit will be credited toward the
applicable final invoice.
The purpose of requiring an advance payment is, among other
things, to allow Big Dogz to purchase authorized parts and materials and commit
resources to the customer's repair without requiring Big Dogz to finance those
customer-specific costs from Company operating funds.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Big Dogz is not required
to order parts, commit substantial resources, or commence the applicable
authorized work until the required deposit has been received and successfully
processed.
10. USE OF DEPOSITS TO PURCHASE PARTS AND MATERIALS
By accepting the applicable Service Estimate, Work
Authorization & Customer Agreement and paying the required deposit, the
customer authorizes Big Dogz to use all or part of that payment to purchase
parts, materials, equipment, shipping, freight, or other items reasonably
required for the authorized work.
Once an authorized part or material has been ordered or
purchased, cancellation or refund rights concerning that item may depend upon
the supplier's cancellation and return policies and applicable law.
Special-order, custom, electrical/electronic, opened,
installed, programmed, configured, or otherwise non-returnable items may not be
refundable to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Big Dogz does not automatically characterize an entire
customer deposit as non-refundable merely because payment has been made.
If a customer cancels, any refund determination may take
into account authorized work already performed and lawful costs already
incurred on behalf of that customer.
11. CANCELLATION AFTER ACCEPTANCE OF AN ESTIMATE
If a customer cancels after accepting an estimate or
authorizing work, the customer may remain responsible, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, for:
Diagnostic
services already performed;
Labor
already performed;
Mobile
service or dispatch charges already incurred;
Travel
or mileage already incurred;
Authorized
parts or materials already ordered or purchased;
Special-order
or non-returnable items;
Supplier
restocking charges;
Shipping
and return-shipping charges; and
Other
specifically authorized expenses reasonably incurred for the customer's
work.
Where appropriate, Big Dogz will account for amounts already
applied from the customer's deposit when determining any remaining amount
payable or refundable.
12. ADDITIONAL WORK AND CHANGE ORDERS
If additional defects or necessary repairs are discovered
after the original estimate is accepted, Big Dogz will seek additional customer
authorization before performing material work outside the originally authorized
scope, except where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Big Dogz may provide a revised estimate or change order
describing the additional work and anticipated charges.
The customer may approve a change order electronically or
through another documented authorization method permitted by law.
An approved change order becomes part of the customer's
Service Estimate, Work Authorization & Customer Agreement.
Big Dogz may suspend work while awaiting customer
authorization.
A customer's failure to authorize additional recommended
repairs does not eliminate responsibility for work, diagnostic services, parts,
travel, or other charges previously authorized.
13. CUSTOMER-DECLINED REPAIRS
If Big Dogz identifies a condition requiring repair and the
customer declines the recommended work, Big Dogz may document that
recommendation in the service record or invoice.
Big Dogz may decline to perform a partial repair when, in
its reasonable professional judgment, doing so would create an unsafe
condition, violate applicable requirements, or result in work that cannot
reasonably be completed properly.
The customer remains responsible for previously authorized
diagnostic, travel, inspection, labor, parts, and other applicable charges.
14. PARTS AND MATERIALS
Replacement parts may include original equipment
manufacturer ("OEM"), aftermarket, rebuilt, remanufactured, or other
appropriate components as disclosed or authorized.
Parts availability may affect scheduling and completion.
Special-order parts may require advance payment and may be
subject to manufacturer, distributor, or supplier cancellation and return
restrictions.
Big Dogz is not responsible for manufacturer or distributor
delays outside its reasonable control.
15. CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED PARTS
Big Dogz may, at its discretion, agree to install
customer-supplied parts.
Unless otherwise required by law, Big Dogz does not warrant
the quality, compatibility, condition, performance, or fitness of
customer-supplied parts.
Additional labor required because a customer-supplied
component is incorrect, defective, incomplete, incompatible, or damaged may
result in additional charges following appropriate authorization.
Any Big Dogz workmanship commitment applicable to
installation does not constitute a warranty on the customer-supplied component
itself.
16. WORKMANSHIP
Any written workmanship guarantee offered by Big Dogz will
be stated on the applicable invoice, service agreement, or separate written
warranty.
Manufacturer warranties applicable to replacement parts are
provided by the respective manufacturers and are subject to their terms.
Nothing on this website creates a warranty beyond an express
written warranty actually provided by Big Dogz.
Nothing in these Terms limits warranty rights that cannot
legally be waived.
17. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE CONTRACTS
Big Dogz may offer or make available third-party RV service
contracts, protection plans, or similar products.
These products may sometimes be commonly described as
"extended warranties." Unless expressly stated otherwise in the
applicable contract, a separately purchased service contract is not a warranty
issued by Big Dogz.
The applicable service-contract documentation should
identify the company legally responsible for the contract together with the
administrator and other information required by applicable law.
Big Dogz Mobile RV Service LLC is not the provider,
obligor, insurer, or claims administrator of a third-party service contract
unless the applicable contract expressly identifies Big Dogz in that capacity.
Coverage determinations, claim approvals, exclusions,
deductibles, reimbursement amounts, authorization requirements, cancellation
rights, coverage limitations, and other benefits are controlled by the actual
service contract.
Customers should review the complete service contract before
purchasing coverage.
18. NO GUARANTEE OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIM APPROVAL
The sale of, referral to, or acceptance of work involving a
third-party service contract does not guarantee that a future or current repair
will be covered.
Coverage decisions are governed by the applicable service
contract and are generally made by the provider, administrator, or other party
designated by that contract.
Customers may remain responsible for:
Deductibles;
Diagnostic
charges;
Non-covered
repairs;
Excluded
components;
Maintenance
items;
Upgrades
or betterment;
Charges
exceeding approved amounts;
Unauthorized
work; and
Other
amounts not paid by the third-party provider.
Where prior authorization is required by the applicable
service contract, authorization should be obtained before covered repairs
proceed.
Unless Big Dogz expressly agrees otherwise in writing, the
customer remains ultimately responsible for amounts properly owed to Big Dogz
that are not paid by a third-party service-contract provider.
19. INDEPENDENCE FROM RV MANUFACTURERS AND THIRD PARTIES
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Big Dogz is an
independent RV service company.
Big Dogz is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by,
or acting on behalf of an RV manufacturer, chassis manufacturer, component
manufacturer, dealership, insurer, or service-contract provider merely because
Big Dogz services that company's products or accepts its service contracts.
All third-party trademarks and brand names remain the
property of their respective owners.
20. ANNUAL SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS
Big Dogz may offer annual or recurring
preventive-maintenance and service programs.
The specific services and benefits included in an annual
plan will be identified in the plan description or agreement presented when the
plan is purchased.
Unless expressly included in writing, an annual service plan
does not mean that all repairs, replacement parts, emergency calls, travel
expenses, diagnostic services, or labor are provided without additional charge.
Annual maintenance plans offered directly by Big Dogz are
separate from third-party service contracts unless expressly stated otherwise.
Customers purchasing an annual program may be required to
accept a separate Annual Service Plan Agreement.
21. AUTOMATIC RENEWALS
If an annual service plan automatically renews, Big Dogz
will disclose the applicable renewal terms, frequency, price or method of
determining the renewal price, and cancellation procedure as required by
applicable law.
Big Dogz will obtain any consent required by applicable law
before enrolling a customer in an automatically renewing program.
Customers may cancel recurring services through the
cancellation method identified when purchasing the plan and through any
additional cancellation method required by applicable law.
22. APPOINTMENT CANCELLATIONS AND NO-SHOWS
Customers should provide reasonable notice when canceling or
rescheduling an appointment.
Big Dogz may charge a properly disclosed cancellation,
dispatch, travel, or no-show fee if a technician has already been dispatched,
traveled toward the service location, reserved substantial time, or arrived and
cannot obtain access to the RV.
Different cancellation requirements may apply to annual
plans and third-party service contracts. Those requirements will be stated in
the applicable agreement.
23. PAYMENT
Payment is due according to the terms stated on the
estimate, work authorization, invoice, service plan, or checkout page.
Big Dogz may require a percentage deposit or other advance
payment as described in these Terms and the customer's Service Estimate, Work
Authorization & Customer Agreement.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any remaining balance is
due upon completion of the authorized work and before release of the completed
work or RV where applicable.
Customers authorize Big Dogz and its payment processors to
process charges that the customer has properly authorized.
Returned payments, disputed payments, chargebacks, or unpaid
balances may be subject to lawful collection remedies.
24. CREDIT-CARD AND PAYMENT DISPUTES
Customers should contact Big Dogz promptly if they believe
an invoice or payment is incorrect so that the matter can be investigated.
Customer authorization records, signed estimates, change
orders, invoices, payment receipts, photographs, technician records,
communications, and other relevant documentation may be retained by Big Dogz
and provided to payment processors or financial institutions when reasonably
necessary to respond to a payment dispute or chargeback.
Nothing in this section limits a customer's lawful right to
dispute an unauthorized or improper charge.
25. TAXES AND GOVERNMENTAL CHARGES
Customers are responsible for applicable sales, use,
service, environmental, disposal, or other taxes and governmental charges
associated with their transaction, except taxes imposed directly upon Big
Dogz's income.
26. COMPLETION TIMES
Projected repair or completion dates are estimates unless
Big Dogz expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
Completion may be affected by:
Parts
availability;
Manufacturer
or supplier delays;
Shipping
delays;
Weather;
Technician
availability;
Third-party
service-contract authorization;
Additional
discovered damage;
Customer
delays in approving change orders;
Supply-chain
conditions; or
Other
circumstances outside Big Dogz's reasonable control.
27. SAFETY
Big Dogz reserves the right to stop, suspend, or refuse work
when a technician reasonably determines that conditions are unsafe.
Examples may include:
Unsafe
electrical systems;
Propane
or fuel leaks;
Fire
hazards;
Unstable
leveling or support systems;
Hazardous
materials;
Aggressive
or uncontrolled animals;
Unsafe
work locations;
Severe
weather; or
Threatening
or abusive conduct.
Customers must disclose known hazards before service begins.
28. PERSONAL PROPERTY
Customers should remove or secure valuables and personal
property from areas where technicians will be working.
Big Dogz is not responsible for loss of or damage to
personal property except to the extent responsibility cannot legally be
excluded or the loss or damage results from conduct for which Big Dogz is
legally responsible.
29. CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL LOSSES
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Big Dogz
will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or
consequential losses resulting from a repair delay or component failure,
including lost travel time, campground charges, hotel expenses, lost income,
missed reservations, towing, vehicle rental, or loss of use, except where such
exclusion is prohibited by law or Big Dogz expressly agrees otherwise in
writing.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot
lawfully be excluded.
30. WEBSITE INFORMATION AND PRICING
Big Dogz makes reasonable efforts to keep website
information accurate.
However, service descriptions, pricing, availability,
geographic coverage, photographs, technical information, and other website
content may change.
Website pricing does not necessarily constitute a binding
estimate for a particular repair unless expressly identified as such.
A website error does not require Big Dogz to provide a
product or service on materially incorrect terms where applicable law permits
correction of the error.
31. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
The Big Dogz website may contain links to manufacturers,
suppliers, service-contract providers, payment processors, scheduling
platforms, social-media services, or other third parties.
Big Dogz does not control those websites and is not
responsible for their content, privacy practices, security, availability, or
terms.
32. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Unless otherwise stated, website text, graphics, logos,
photographs, videos, designs, service descriptions, and other original content
owned by Big Dogz are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
No content may be reproduced, distributed, commercially
exploited, or represented as belonging to another business without permission
except as permitted by law.
33. PROHIBITED WEBSITE USE

Engage

Technician
arrival;
Repair
authorization;
Change
orders;
Parts

Customer-service
matters.
Where permitted by applicable law, electronic signatures and
documented electronic authorizations may have the same effect as physical
signatures.
Marketing communications will be handled in accordance with
applicable law and applicable consent requirements.
Consent to receive marketing communications is not a
condition of purchasing repair services unless otherwise permitted by law.
35. RECORDS OF CUSTOMER AUTHORIZATION
Big Dogz may retain copies of:
Estimates;
Signed
work authorizations;
Electronic
signatures;
Change

Customers should retain copies of their estimates,
authorizations, invoices, warranties, and service records.
36. PRIVACY
Collection and use of personal information by Big Dogz is
governed by the Company's Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy should be read together with these Terms.
37. GOVERNING LAW
Big Dogz Mobile RV Service LLC is organized under the laws
of the State of Texas.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, these Terms are
governed by Texas law without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
However, customers retain any non-waivable consumer
protections provided by laws applicable to their transaction or state of
residence.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive a customer of
rights that cannot legally be waived.
38. DISPUTES
Customers are encouraged to contact Big Dogz promptly
regarding a dispute and provide a reasonable opportunity for the Company to
investigate and attempt to resolve the matter.
Nothing in these Terms prevents a customer from contacting
an appropriate government regulator, consumer-protection agency,
service-contract administrator, insurer, payment provider, or other authority.
Any binding arbitration provision, class-action waiver,
mandatory venue provision, or similar dispute-resolution requirement will be
separately stated where required or appropriate and will be subject to
applicable law.
39. STATE-SPECIFIC RIGHTS
Consumer protection, RV repair, service-contract,
cancellation, warranty, privacy, automatic-renewal, estimate, deposit, and
other laws differ among states.
If a provision of these Terms conflicts with a non-waivable
right provided by applicable law, applicable law controls to the extent of that
conflict.
Big Dogz may also provide state-specific notices,
disclosures, agreements, or contract provisions where required.
40. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
Big Dogz may revise these Terms from time to time.
The current version will be posted on the website with an
updated "Last Updated" date.
Material changes will apply prospectively to the extent
required by applicable law.
Terms applicable to an already-purchased third-party service
contract remain governed by the actual contract issued for that purchase.
An accepted Service Estimate, Work Authorization &
Customer Agreement remains governed by the terms applicable to that transaction
and cannot be retroactively changed merely by changing these website Terms.
41. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent
permitted by law or severed where necessary without invalidating the remaining
provisions.

These Terms establish general conditions governing the Big
Dogz website and services.
Individual customer transactions may also be governed by:
A
Service Estimate;
Work
Authorization;

Order;
Annual
Service Plan Agreement;
Third-Party
Service Contract;
Invoice;
Written
Workmanship Warranty; or
Other
transaction-specific agreement.

website Terms, the transaction-specific agreement will control for that
particular transaction to the extent permitted by applicable law.

is covered under a third-party service contract unless Big Dogz is expressly
identified in that contract as the party responsible for making that
