Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 15, 2024

Welcome to the website of Bayside Home Care ("we," "us," "our," or "Bayside Home Care"), located at www.baysidehomecare.com (the "Website"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our Website, as well as any inquiries or initial communications regarding our non-medical home care services.

By accessing, browsing, or using the Website, or by contacting us to inquire about services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website or contact us for services.

1. About Our Services

Bayside Home Care provides non-medical in-home supportive services in Alabama, including companionship, personal care assistance (such as bathing, grooming, dressing), light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, transportation, and similar non-skilled assistance.

Important:

We do not provide medical services, nursing, therapy, medication administration, or any services requiring a medical license. All actual client services are provided only after a separate written Service Agreement is signed by both parties. Nothing on this Website constitutes a binding service contract.

2. Use of the Website

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • Use the Website in any way that violates any applicable federal, state, or local law in Alabama or elsewhere
  • Transmit any harmful code, viruses, or malicious content
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Website
  • Copy, reproduce, or distribute Website content without our express written permission
  • Use the Website to solicit or advertise competing services

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time without notice.

3. User Submissions and Inquiries

Any information you submit through contact forms, emails, phone calls, or other means (including care needs, contact details, or caregiver applications) is governed by our Privacy Policy. You represent that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete. We are not obligated to respond to any inquiry or provide services.

4. No Medical Advice

The information on this Website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult qualified healthcare professionals for medical needs.

5. Service Agreements and Payments

All non-medical home care services are provided solely under a separate, written Client Service Agreement that will detail:

  • Specific services to be provided
  • Schedule and duration
  • Fees, payment terms, and billing
  • Termination rights
  • Responsibilities of all parties

No services begin until a signed Service Agreement exists and any required initial payment is received. We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue services at our discretion, subject to the terms of any signed agreement.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • Bayside Home Care provides the Website and information "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind
  • We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement
  • In no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the Website, reliance on information provided, or any service-related matter
  • Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by you for services in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim (or $100 if no payment was made)

This limitation applies even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bayside Home Care, its owners, employees, caregivers, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Website, your violation of these Terms, or your provision of inaccurate information.

8. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Website at any time, without notice, for any reason, including breach of these Terms.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or the Website shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Madison County, Alabama. You agree to first attempt informal resolution by contacting us before pursuing legal action.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
