Use of Services
User Requirements and Conduct
In order to use most aspects of the BCL Platform, you must register for and maintain an active personal user account (an “Account”). Account registration requires you to submit to BCL certain personal information, such as your name, address, and mobile phone number, as well as at least one valid credit card (to be processed by a third-party payment processor). You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Account, review the fees to be charged for your use of the Services (“Fees”); and authorize BCL to charge your credit card for any and all Fees incurred by you for your use of the Services. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information, including having a valid and unexpired credit card on file, may result in your inability to access and use the Services and/or BCL’s termination of these Terms. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account and, as such, you agree to maintain the security and secrecy of your Account username and password at all times. Unless otherwise permitted by BCL in writing, you may only possess one Account per household.
The Service is not available for use by persons under the age of 18. You may not authorize third parties to use your Account, and you may not allow persons under the age of 18 to use the Services unless they are supervised by you. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Account to any other person or entity. You agree to comply with all applicable laws when using the Services, and you may only use the Services for lawful purposes. In certain instances, BCL or its agent may require you to provide proof of identity to access or use the Services, and you agree that you may be denied access or use of the Services if you refuse to provide proof of identity.
User Representations
You represent and warrant to BCL that you will (a) maintain the security of your user identification, password, and other confidential information relating to your Account; (b) maintain the security, confidentiality, and integrity of all messages and the content that you receive, transmit through or store on the BCL Platform; (c) pay for all Fees resulting from the use of your Account, including but not limited to, unauthorized use of your Account prior to your notifying BCL in writing of such use and taking reasonable steps to prevent its further occurrence, such as changing your password; (d) comply with these Terms; and (e) comply with all applicable U.S. and international laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, contracts and applicable licenses regarding your use of the BCL Platform.
Accuracy
You will not, directly or indirectly, submit content or information that is purposely inaccurate, commit fraud or falsify information in connection with your Account or create multiple Accounts.
Promotional Offers
BCL may, in our sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemed for Service credit or other features or benefits, subject to the terms that BCL may establish on a per promotion basis. You agree that promotional codes (i) may only be used for the intended audience and purpose, (ii) may not be duplicated, sold, or transferred in any manner or made available to the general public by you, unless explicitly approved by BCL in writing, (iii) may not be used to exceed or attempt to exceed quantity limits applicable to such promotional offer when purchasing Services or otherwise using any Account to purchase Services for any purpose not expressly permitted by these Terms and the terms of a specific promotional offer.

BCL reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of any promotional offer by you or any other user in the event that BCL determines or believes that the use or redemption of the promotional offer was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable promotional offer terms or these Terms. BCL shall pursue and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law any case of misrepresentation, fraud or known or suspected violations of applicable law or these Terms.
Text Messages
By creating an Account, you agree that the BCL Platform may send you informational text (SMS) messages as part of the normal business operation of your use of the BCL Platform. You may opt-out of receiving text (SMS) messages from BCL at any time by sending a request to info@BasketCasesLaundry.com. You agree and acknowledge that opting out of receiving text (SMS) messages may impact your use of the Services.
Minimum Charge Per Order and Pricing
BCL charges a minimum order price for Services as disclosed on the BCL price list. Pricing is determined by BCL and is based upon the weight of the laundry. Price per pound and minimum order prices are subject to change without notification.
Damaged Items
BCL follows the standards and policies set forth by the Fabricare Industry and the International Fabricare Institute. We exercise utmost care in cleaning and processing garments entrusted to us and use such processes, which, in our opinion, are best suited to the nature and conditions of each individual garment. Nevertheless, we cannot assume responsibility for inherent weaknesses or defects in materials which may result in tears or development of small holes in fabric that are not readily apparent prior to processing. We cannot guarantee against color loss, color bleeding, shrinkage, or against damage to weak and tender fabrics.
Please report any damaged items from your order to BCL info@BasketCasesLaundry.com within 24 hours of delivery. BCL is not responsible for any damaged items reported after this time.
Although we use commercially reasonable efforts to track such items, we are not responsible for loose items in pockets or bundles of garments (i.e. jewelry, watches, cash). We request that you empty all pockets and check for loose items prior to putting laundry out for pickup, as we cannot be held responsible for damage to your garments caused by items left in pockets (lipstick, gum, pens, etc.). BCL’s liability with respect to any damaged items shall not exceed ten (10) times our charge for cleaning that garment, regardless of brand or condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BCL will not be responsible for any reparation beyond $200.00, even if the order costs over $200.00 to process. Any single damaged item will not be valued beyond $25.00, even if the fair market value for the item is more. Any amounts due to you will be credited to your BCL account.
Lost Items
Please report any missing items from your order to info@BasketCasesLaundry.com within 24 hours of delivery. BCL is not responsible for any missing items reported after this time. BCL will not be responsible for any lost item beyond $200.00, even if the order costs over $200.00 to process. Any single lost item will not be valued beyond $25.00, even if the fair market value for the item is more. Any amounts due to you will be credited to your BCL account.
Pick-Up and Delivery
Our goal is to provide convenient and frictionless Services to our customers and are willing to leave completed orders wherever the customer dictates. However, BCL is not responsible for any missing or damaged items if the order is not personally received by you and picked up and delivered by an BCL employee. BCL is not responsible for missing or damaged items from orders that are picked up or dropped off in an unsecured or unattended location.
Online Communications
We may provide interactive opportunities in the BCL Platform, including, without limitation, user ratings and reviews, saved favorites, and saved instructions, (collectively, “Interactive Areas”) for the convenience of our users.
You represent and warrant that you are the owner or otherwise have the right to provide any information, comments, reviews, ratings or other materials or content submitted, posted or otherwise transmitted to the BCL Platform (“User Content”). In addition, in consideration of BCL’s acceptance of your User Content, you hereby grant to BCL an irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, paid up, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive worldwide license to use, copy, print, display, modify, edit, remove, publicly perform, translate and create derivative works from and distribute or otherwise use and reproduce your User Content on and in connection with the BCL Platform in all forms of media now known or hereafter invented, (collectively, the “Uses”) and the right to, in BCL’s sole option and discretion, attribute your User Content to you. In consideration of submitting User Content, you consent to the Uses of the User Content without further consideration, compensation, attribution, accounting, notification or other additional consideration and to BCL’s disclosure of any information related to your use of the Services in any capacity in connection with BCL’s display of your User Content on the BCL Platform. You also agree to indemnify, defend, and hold BCL harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party arising out of BCL’s Uses of your User Content. You waive any rights you may have in having the User Content edited, altered or changed in any manner not acceptable to you.
Some submissions or postings by users to certain parts of the BCL Platform, including, without limitation, Interactive Areas, will be public and posted in public areas on the BCL Platform. Neither BCL nor any of its agents or providers will be responsible for the action of any users or third parties with respect to any User Content posted, uploaded or transmitted on the BCL Platform.
By using the BCL Platform, you agree to follow these Terms. BCL reserves the right to change, delete or remove, in part or in full, any User Content in Interactive Areas and to terminate or suspend access to such areas of the BCL Platform for conduct that we believe, in our sole discretion, interferes with other users’ use and enjoyment of the BCL Platform. BCL will also cooperate with local, state and/or federal authorities to comply with applicable law.

We reserve the right to establish, remove and/or revise Fees and prices for any or all aspects of the Services at any time in our sole discretion.
