3.3 The Company reserves the right to refuse any booking, or to cancel a booking where information provided by the Customer is incomplete, misleading, or inaccurate, or where the Premises are deemed inaccessible or unsafe for the Cleaner.
3.4 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that access to the Premises is available at the agreed time. This may include providing keys, access codes, or arranging for someone to be present. Details of any key handling arrangements will be agreed during the booking process.
