• Company BBB response (09/16/2025): a $151 early-cancellation charge was the initial discount repaid under the 12-month service agreement; a ‘Welcome Call’ restates the terms before the first service.¹⁸

  “The $151 fee the customer is referring to is the initial discount provided when the customer took out service. As part of our 12 month service agreement (attached), those terms are highlighted and laid out.”

• Company BBB response (08/01/2025): the initial discount is given on the understanding of a 12-month agreement and must be paid back if canceled before 12 months.⁸

  “The discount provided is done so with the understanding that this is a 12 month agreement. If the agreement is cancelled prior to those 12 months being fulfilled, the discount would have to be paid back.”

• Company BBB response (05/05/2025) to a customer quoting the agreement’s renewal clause: the company added an expiration date so the program would ‘not auto-renew’ past the initial 12-month term. The customer’s review quotes the agreement: it ‘will automatically renew after the initial term on a month to month basis unless either party gives notice in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the next billing date’.¹⁰

  “I will add a expiration date on the program so that it will not auto-renew beyond the end of the initial”

• Website Terms & Conditions (effective March 2026) govern website use only (North Carolina law and courts). The residential service agreement itself is not published, so arbitration or class-waiver terms are unknown.²

• Not found: price list. Consumer reports on the HQ BBB profile mention recurring charges of about $40-$92 per service and early-cancellation fees of $200-$350; these are not company-stated.⁹

  “I want to cancel my contract without paying the $200 fee.”
