25.Damaged Items Policy
At ValetKleen, the utmost care and attention are devoted to handling your garments and belongings. While we employ rigorous quality controls and expert handling procedures to protect your items, certain risks inherent to laundering, dry cleaning, and garment care cannot be eliminated. By using ValetKleen’s services, you acknowledge and accept these limitations as outlined below.
- No Absolute Guarantee Against Damage
Despite our best efforts, ValetKleen cannot guarantee against natural occurrences such as color loss, color bleeding, shrinkage, fabric fading, or other alterations that may arise from the cleaning process. These phenomena may result from the garment’s composition, previous treatments, or inherent fabric characteristics. - Reporting Damaged Items
All claims for damaged items must be submitted in writing to ValetKleen within seven (7) calendar days from the date of delivery. Claims submitted beyond these seven days will be deemed waived and will not be eligible for consideration or compensation.
To report damage, customers must contact ValetKleen via email at care@valetkleen.com, providing a detailed description of the damage, order number, delivery details, and photographs of the affected items. - Customer Responsibility to Inspect Items
Upon receipt of your garments, it is your responsibility to promptly inspect all items and notify ValetKleen of any damages within the specified timeframe. Failure to report damages timely constitutes acceptance of the items as received. - Removal of Personal Items and Liability
Customers must ensure that all pockets are emptied before submitting their garments. ValetKleen makes a reasonable effort to inspect and remove foreign objects, such as pens, lipstick, coins, headphones, or other personal effects, before cleaning. However, ValetKleen expressly disclaims any liability for damage caused by loose or undisclosed items left inside pockets or bags. - Proper Use of ValetKleen Garment Bags
ValetKleen provides designated bags for different service types (e.g., Dry Cleaning, Wash & Fold). Customers must use the correct ValetKleen-branded bag corresponding to the intended service. ValetKleen is not liable for damages resulting from misuse of bags, including but not limited to placing dry cleaning garments in wash & fold bags or vice versa.
Additional or replacement bags may be obtained upon request via your online account or the ValetKleen mobile app. - Evaluation and Determination of Damage
All damaged items must be returned to ValetKleen for physical inspection and evaluation. ValetKleen reserves the right to assess whether the damage is attributable to normal wear and tear, pre-existing conditions, improper care, or the cleaning process.
Typical wear and tear includes but is not limited to:
Shrinkage due to repeated laundering;
Color fading or bleeding attributable to fabric quality;
Small holes, tears, or thinning fabric;
Discoloration from exposure to elements before service.
ValetKleen will make reasonable efforts to restore damaged items to acceptable condition whenever possible. - Compensation and Limitation of Liability
Suppose an item is determined to be damaged due to ValetKleen’s negligence or error and cannot be restored. In that case, ValetKleen’s liability is limited to reimbursement of up to four (4) times the cleaning fee charged for that specific item, not to exceed a maximum total of five hundred dollars ($500) per claim.
Reimbursement will be issued solely as a credit to your ValetKleen account and may be applied to future orders. ValetKleen does not provide cash refunds, checks, or replacement garments as compensation. - Disclaimer of Liability
ValetKleen is not liable for damages resulting from the following:
Inherent defects or pre-existing conditions in garments;
Customer negligence or failure to disclose relevant garment care information;
Damage caused by foreign objects or misuse of service materials;
Natural shrinkage, color changes, or fabric deterioration occur after service. - Acceptance of Terms
By submitting your garments to ValetKleen, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Damaged Items Policy and the limits of liability herein.
ValetKleen strives to provide the highest level of garment care and customer satisfaction. Your cooperation and understanding of this policy help us serve you better.
26.Lost Item Policy
ValetKleen offers professional dry cleaning, wash and fold, and laundry pickup and delivery services with utmost care and diligence. However, by the nature of garment cleaning and handling, there is an inherent risk that items may be lost, misplaced, or otherwise not returned. While ValetKleen has implemented reasonable operational safeguards and procedures designed to minimize the risk of lost items, ValetKleen does not guarantee that such incidents will never occur.
Reporting Lost Items
Customers must report any suspected lost items within three (3) calendar days following the delivery of their garments. Claims submitted after these three days will be deemed untimely and will not be considered or processed.
Exclusions and Limitations of Liability
ValetKleen expressly disclaims any liability for the loss of loose personal effects, valuables, or accessories, including, but not limited to, watches, jewelry, earbuds (such as AirPods), cufflinks, or any other items not securely attached to or enclosed within the laundered garments, even if submitted within ValetKleen bags. Furthermore, ValetKleen is not responsible for items lost, misplaced, or damaged before pickup or after delivery has been completed and accepted by the customer.
Claim Investigation Process
Upon receipt of a timely lost item claim, a designated Customer Care Agent from ValetKleen’s Escalations Team will initiate a formal investigation. This process may include but is not limited to:
- Comprehensive review of security camera footage;
- Detailed examination of order tracking logs and delivery records;
- Interviews with all personnel involved in the handling, processing, and delivery of the affected order;
- Thorough physical searches within ValetKleen facilities and vehicles.
Due to the complexity and detail required, resolution of lost item claims may take up to fifteen (15) business days from the date the claim is filed.
Compensation for Lost Items
If, after a full investigation, ValetKleen determines that an item is conclusively lost while in our care and cannot be recovered, ValetKleen’s liability will be limited as follows:
- ValetKleen may provide compensation equal to up to four (4) times the cleaning price paid for the item, with a maximum reimbursement cap of five hundred dollars ($500) per lost item.
- All compensation will be issued exclusively in the form of account credit to be used toward future ValetKleen services. No cash, check, or direct replacement item purchases will be provided.
This limitation of liability represents ValetKleen’s complete and final responsibility regarding lost items and supersedes any other claims or damages that the customer may assert.
By using ValetKleen’s services, customers acknowledge and accept these terms and the inherent risks associated with garment cleaning, including the potential for lost items, and agree to abide by the procedures and limitations set forth herein.
27.Pickup and Delivery Terms
ValetKleen strives to provide a reliable and convenient laundry and dry cleaning service to all customers. While we endeavor to follow all special instructions regarding pickup and delivery as accurately as possible, certain limitations apply, as outlined below.
Customers may authorize ValetKleen to collect or deliver items by leaving them outside their residence with a doorkeeper, concierge, or other designated individual only if written consent has been provided to ValetKleen before service. This consent must authorize such arrangements and release ValetKleen from liability for any risks associated with unattended items or third-party handling.
ValetKleen expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for loss, theft, damage, or misplacement of items:
- Before pickup: including while items are in the customer’s possession, stored on the customer’s premises, or awaiting collection;
- After delivery: including once items have been left in an authorized location, delivered to a doorkeeper, or handed over to a third party at the delivery address
The sole responsibility for safeguarding items before pickup and after delivery rests exclusively with the customer. Customers are advised to ensure all items are securely packaged and identifiable before collection and to verify receipt immediately upon delivery.
To facilitate clear communication, ValetKleen will send written notifications confirming the completion of pickup and delivery via SMS, push notification through the mobile application, or email, according to the customer’s selected preferences in their account settings. However, ValetKleen does not guarantee receipt of such notifications and is not responsible for any failures or delays in communication caused by technical or third-party service issues.
By using ValetKleen’s services, customers acknowledge and agree to these terms and release ValetKleen from any claims arising from circumstances beyond its control related to the pickup, handling, or delivery of laundry items.
28.Garment Records and Data Retention
ValetKleen reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, to maintain records related to the garments you submit for cleaning or related services. Such records may include, but are not limited to, detailed descriptions, images, photographs, or any other form of documentation about your items.
ValetKleen may retain, store, display, reproduce, and use these records in association with your name, account information, or other identifying data you provide. These records will be maintained for commercially reasonable periods as determined by ValetKleen, consistent with business needs including, but not limited to, archival purposes, inventory management, quality assurance and control, loss prevention, dispute resolution, and data analysis for service improvement.
By using ValetKleen’s services, you expressly consent to ValetKleen’s collection, retention, and use of such records by this policy. ValetKleen is committed to handling all such documents in compliance with applicable privacy laws and industry best practices, protecting your personal information, and ensuring confidentiality.
ValetKleen’s retention and use of garment records shall not constitute an ownership interest in your personal property, nor does it affect your ownership rights over your garments.
29.Multiple Account and Referral Program Policy
1. Single Account Restriction ValetKleen permits each user to maintain only one (1) active account. The creation, possession, or use of multiple accounts by the same person, whether directly or indirectly, is strictly prohibited. This policy is established to maintain the integrity of our services, including, but not limited to, our referral and promotional programs.
2. Prohibition of Fraudulent Activity ValetKleen offers referral incentives to reward genuine customer advocacy and grow our community responsibly. Any attempt to manipulate, exploit, or circumvent these programs, including, but not limited to, creating multiple accounts to obtain bonuses or rewards, is considered fraudulent and expressly forbidden.
3. Referral Program Restrictions We reserve the exclusive right to evaluate, approve, or reject any referral, “Refer a Friend” submission, or related bonus eligibility at our sole discretion. Grounds for rejection include, but are not limited to:
- Referrals involving individuals residing at the same physical address or within the same household;
- Referrals generated from accounts that are duplicates, non-genuine, or otherwise linked to the referring user;
- Any indication of artificial inflation or abuse of the referral program rules.
4. Monitoring and Enforcement: ValetKleen employs ongoing monitoring and auditing of referral activity and account behavior to ensure compliance with these policies. Any suspicious or confirmed violations may lead to one or more of the following corrective actions without prior notice:
- Forfeiture, suspension, or revocation of referral rewards or bonuses;
- Cancellation of referral credits or bonuses associated with the violating account(s);
- Temporary suspension or permanent termination of user account(s);
- Any additional legal remedies are available under applicable law.
5. User Responsibility and Agreement: By participating in ValetKleen’s referral programs or maintaining an account, users agree to comply fully with this policy and acknowledge that any violation may adversely affect their account status and benefits. ValetKleen reserves the right to amend these policies at any time to protect the fairness and integrity of its services.

You expressly agree and consent that any legal action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your use of the ValetKleen service, or any of the parties’ obligations hereunder, shall be instituted exclusively in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, United States. You hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such purposes.
You agree that any claim or cause of action you may have against ValetKleen arising out of or related to this Agreement or the services provided must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arises, or it shall be forever barred, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary.
The failure of ValetKleen to insist upon strict enforcement or performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any term, provision, or condition of this Agreement—whether by conduct or otherwise, in any single or multiple instances—shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision, or condition or any other term, provision, or condition. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. This Agreement constitutes the entire, complete, and exclusive Agreement between you and ValetKleen concerning your use of the Service. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and communications, whether oral or written, between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof.
Suppose legal action is required to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement. In that case, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, court costs, and other litigation-related expenses incurred in connection therewith, in addition to any other relief to which such prevailing party may be entitled under law or equity.
Suppose any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable. In that case, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been included.
This Agreement does not and is not intended to create or confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto. Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted as creating any third-party beneficiary rights unless explicitly stated. All rights and obligations hereunder are personal to the parties unless expressly noted otherwise.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of ValetKleen. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this section shall be null and void.
ValetKleen may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, including all rights and obligations hereunder, at any time and without notice to you.

32.Legal Disclosure of Personal Information
ValetKleen is committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your personal information. However, under certain circumstances, we may be required or find it necessary to disclose information we collect from or about you in accordance with applicable laws and lawful requests.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that ValetKleen may, in its sole discretion and without further notice to you, disclose your personal or account-related information to third parties, including governmental authorities, courts, regulatory agencies, or private litigants, if we determine in good faith that such disclosure is:
- Required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process (such as a subpoena, warrant, or court order);
- Necessary to respond to a valid legal inquiry, investigation, or demand from a governmental authority or agency;
- Appropriate in connection with actual or threatened litigation or legal proceedings in which we are involved or may become involved;
- Reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights, enforce our Terms of Service, prevent or investigate fraud, safeguard the security or integrity of our services, or protect the rights, property, or safety of ValetKleen, its users, or others.
In the event ValetKleen receives a subpoena or similar legal request concerning your information, we may, but are not obligated to, notify you in advance to allow you the opportunity to contest or seek to limit such disclosure (e.g., through a motion to quash). Alternatively, we may elect to object to or challenge the request on your behalf, but we are under no legal obligation to do so.
Furthermore, ValetKleen reserves the right to proactively report to, or cooperate with, law enforcement or relevant regulatory authorities when we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to prevent harm, address criminal activity, investigate fraud, or comply with any legal or regulatory obligation.
You expressly release ValetKleen, its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates from any and all liability, damages, or claims that may arise out of or relate to the disclosure of your information in accordance with this section.
All such disclosures will be conducted in compliance with applicable data protection and privacy laws, including but not limited to the laws of the country or jurisdiction in which you reside, to the extent required under such laws.
33.Modifications to This Privacy Policy
ValetKleen reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, amend, or update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in legal requirements, our data handling practices, or the features of our services. Any such changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised version on our website or within our mobile application unless otherwise required by applicable law.
We may notify you of material changes through email, in-app notifications, or prompts requiring affirmative acceptance. Your continued access to or use of ValetKleen’s services after the effective date of any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to the revised terms, you must cease using all ValetKleen services immediately. It is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed of any updates.
