Each links to its source; quotes are the source’s exact words. - Minimum term: the company’s published Terms & Conditions of Service describe a one-year agreement for pest control service. (sources [2](https://www.nwexterminating.com/terms-conditions)) Quote: “Northwest will provide Pest Control services for a period of one year, unless stated otherwise in this agreement, consisting of regular visits in accordance with the specified pest plan provided.” - Auto-renewal: the agreement renews automatically, service by service, after the one-year term. (sources [2](https://www.nwexterminating.com/terms-conditions)) Quote: “This is a one-year agreement, automatically renewable on a service-by-service basis.” - Cancellation channel and consequence: either party may cancel with 30 days’ written notice; the customer pays for services rendered before the cancellation date. No early-cancellation fee is stated for the pest control agreement. (sources [2](https://www.nwexterminating.com/terms-conditions)) Quote: “Either party may cancel this agreement with a thirty day written notice. The customer will be held responsible for payment of services rendered prior to the cancellation date.” - Termite baiting (Sentricon) agreements carry an early termination fee; no amount is published. Sentricon components remain Corteva’s property and are retrieved on termination; Trelona components belong to the customer once paid. (sources [2](https://www.nwexterminating.com/terms-conditions)) Quote: “Sentricon® early termination fee and any months of service provided are applied.” - Dispute terms: the published Terms & Conditions of Service (general pest, termite baiting, post-construction termite) contain no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver; they include liability releases (the company is not responsible for pest or treatment damage). (sources [2](https://www.nwexterminating.com/terms-conditions)) Quote: “The customer specifically releases Northwest Exterminating from any liability for such claims.” - Termite warranty renewals are non-refundable and the warranty is canceled if payment is not received within 30 days of expiry (company reply to a BBB review, 05/21/2025). The warranty covers spot treatment of active subterranean termites, not wood damage. (sources [14](https://www.bbb.org/us/az/tucson/profile/pest-control/northwest-exterminating-company-inc-1286-1549/customer-reviews)) Quote: “The renewal payment is non-refundable as the warranty is assigned to the structure, not the individual.” - Sentricon bait stations are leased; on a 2024 termite cancellation the company said it tries to collect the stations, and in that case it paid Corteva’s non-recovery fees itself (company reply to a BBB complaint, 07/31/2024). (sources [15](https://www.bbb.org/us/az/tucson/profile/pest-control/northwest-exterminating-company-inc-1286-1549/complaints)) Quote: “The equipment installed is leased and therefore we try and collect the stations” - Desert Guard exclusion work carries a one-year warranty on replacement materials and labor. (sources [16](https://www.nwexterminating.com/desert-guard)) Quote: “backed by a one-year warranty covering replacement materials and labor” - Financing through Wisetack: up to $25,000, terms of 3 to 60 months, APR 0 to 35.9%. (sources [17](https://www.nwexterminating.com/financing)) Quote: “APRs range from 0 to 35.9%*” ## How it affects the Handshake Score Sales and contract fairness is 15% of the Handshake Score.
