3.3 Coach Has Right To Give Client Work Product. The Coach promises that it owns the work product, that the Coach is able to give the work product to the Client, and that no other party will claim that it owns the work product. If the Coach uses employees or subcontractors, the Coach also promises that these employees and subcontractors have signed contracts with the Coach giving the Coach any rights that the employees or subcontractors have related to the Coach's background IP and work product.

6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

As the owner of a lawn care business, it is essential to know exactly how to fill out a lawn care invoice template. This is not only for your benefit as a business owner but also for your clients.

That being said, if you just started out your small business, you may not know how to fill out professional invoices for lawn care services. Allow this article to serve as your guide.

What Is a Lawn Care Invoice Used For?

As a service provider, you will need a way to bill your clients. Without a written document, payments can be forgotten and you can mix up the payments that you need to make to the IRS. Moreover, you will need the invoice if you want to get any deductions.

A big business may use an accountant. However, those who are only starting out will reap the most use out of such an invoice. It is used to systemize your business and record your financial transactions, allowing you to keep an eye on your business needs and cash flow.

Why Use a Lawn Care Invoice Template

Lawn care invoices take time to type down - and unless you hire an accountant, you may not know exactly what should be written down. However, a service invoice template can take the bulk of the problem away from you.

There are many providers that can offer a free invoice template to whoever may need an example. Platforms such as Bonsai also provide access to professional accounts, where you can get unlimited invoices.

You just need to determine exactly what kind of invoice template you need for your business. You may also find fully customizable invoice templates, so you can bill your clients as fast as possible.

Types of Lawn Care Invoices

You must make sure that you send the right kind of professional invoices to your clients. Invoices can be found in the following formats.

Standard Invoice

Standard invoices, as the name suggests, are the most common types of invoices. This lawn care invoice states exactly how much the client owes for the services provided. Usually, it will also ask for immediate payment.

Recurring Invoice

Many lawn care professionals send invoices on a recurring basis. This lawn care invoice is used when the client asks for future lawn care services weekly or bi-monthly.

Prepayment Invoice

A lawn care service provider will fill out prepayment invoice templates when the client provides down payment or a deposit. The rest of the amount will be collected later on when another lawn care invoice template will be filled out.

Time-Based Invoice

If you have an hourly rate, this type of lawn mowing invoice template may be used to bill the clients for a certain amount of time spent on the services. An hourly lawn care invoice may be a good example of such a template.

Debit Invoice

If there are any increases in the total amount owed, a debit lawn care invoice template will see those additions. A note will also be added to explain those modifications.

Credit Invoice

A credit lawn care invoice (also known as a "credit memo") is the type of invoice that you send out when you owe money to your client. This usually happens during a rebate or a refund.

Mixed Invoice

A mixed invoice includes a variety of lawn services and a mix of account activities. This invoice template can mix both the charges and the credits.

What to Add In a Lawn Service Invoice Template

With tools such as Bonsai, you may create professional invoices - and all it will take is just a couple of clicks from you. Here is what you need to put down:

  • Your business name
  • Your contact details
  • The names of your lawn care clients
  • Your business logo
  • The services provided (lawn mowing and potential landscaping invoices, such as pool services and fees for lawn care supplies)
  • The unique invoice number
  • Total cost for the services provided (before and after taxes)
  • Invoice date
  • The due date for the payment
  • Payment method and other relevant payment information
  • Personalized message (optional, for additional information)

All the services dealing with lawn care will likely have their own professional invoice to send out. As a result, once you get the right invoice template for you, simply personalize it the way you need it.

How to Use Lawn Care Invoices

When using a lawn care invoice template, you need to follow some simple, yet essential steps. Here is what you need to do as a lawn care business owner.

Observe the Layout

Before you even write anything down, you should come down to the site and observe the layout. Is there anything on the lawn that can make it difficult for you to pass the lawn mowing unit?

Perhaps there are shrubs in the middle of the lawn or perhaps troublesome paving. Or maybe you need to offer gardening services as well. Think about all of these aspects and write them down.

Make a Quote

Once you have every detail set down, you need to provide your clients with an itemized quote. Before they accept any lawn care services, they should know exactly what they are paying for, and how long each item will take to finish. Make sure you add all that information to the invoice template.

Get Acceptance

You should not start your job until you get the okay on the terms that you set down. The client should sign your paperwork, and only then can you start working on your lawn care services.

Finish the Job

Now that all the details have been dealt with and you have the approval, it's time to actually finish the job. Make sure that you respect the due date you set on that lawn care service invoice.

Send the Invoice

When the job is done, it is time for the actual billing process to start. Offer your client a copy of your lawn care service invoice. A hard copy is ideal, but nowadays, more and more people prefer email. A follow-up is always recommended, especially when there are unpaid invoices.

The Bottom Line

As a lawn care business owner, you need to receive the proper payment for the services that you provide. A free invoice template can significantly help you out. Once you find the right template, just add in the necessary information and send it out to your client.
