Want something that actually collects it?
A policy only works if something enforces it. Everything you just filled in carries straight over — you won’t re-type any of it.

    is this legal advice?

    No. This is plain-English wording for a small service business, not a contract drafted by a lawyer. It’s the kind of policy detailers, barbers, lash techs and tattoo artists already use every day, written so it sounds firm without sounding hostile.

    If you’re doing high-value commercial or fleet work, get your terms looked at properly. For a $150 detail, this is what you need.
