If you do not agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”), please do not access or use our Wash, Dry, Fold laundry services, user website (“Site”), or mobile application (“App”).
THESE TERMS ARE A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. THROUGH YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICE (VIA OUR SITE OR OUR APP), YOU MANIFEST YOUR CONSENT TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICE. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, AMEND, REPLACE, SUSPEND, OR TERMINATE THESE TERMS AT ANY TIME AND WITHIN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

In the event CSC ServiceWorks modifies, amends, or replaces these Terms, the Last Updated date, located at the top of this page, will change.

Privacy Notice
CSC ServiceWorks’ Privacy Notice is part of and incorporated into these Terms. Please review the Privacy Notice to understand how we collect, use, and share your personal information.
The Services
We provide a Wash, Dry, Fold laundry service for our users (“Users”) to have a laundry bag of machine-washable items picked up from their home location or retrieved from designated lockers on certain scheduled days and to have their items washed with CSC ServiceWorks standard detergent, dried and folded, and returned to them at the designated return locations (“the Service”). Please see our FAQs page for answers to commonly-asked questions. The Service is only provided to certain home locations (generally apartment, condominium, or dormitory buildings) in the United States. A third party, who is an independent contractor working with CSC ServiceWorks, will pick up, launder, fold, and deliver the User’s laundry to the designated delivery location.
Laundry will be washed in normal cycles using standard detergent at the water temperature you specify. Your laundry will not be combined with other Users’ laundry for washing or drying. At this time, we cannot separate specific items or colors and we do not provide any special services (such as, for example, hang dry or ironing), or use detergents other than CSC ServiceWorks standard detergent. Please do not provide delicate items to us – they may be damaged during normal washing and drying cycles. We are not responsible for any damage to such items.
Accepted Items:
- Garments that are machine-washable using normal cycles and standard detergent.
- Sheets and pillow cases
- Towels and washcloths
Items We Do Not Accept:
- Non-machine-washable items
- Garments that require special care (for example, beaded, feathered, or sequined items)
- Leather items
- Large comforters
- Pillows
- Items containing down or feathers
- Shoes
Expressly Prohibited Items:
- Sharps, needles, or other biohazardous materials
- Excessively soiled materials
- Items soiled with feces, blood, or other bodily fluids
- Items infested with bedbugs
- Illegal materials
- Electronic or battery powered materials
Any order that contains any of the above expressly prohibited items or other harmful items will be returned to you without being laundered and you will be charged a fee up to the amount of the cost of laundering a single bag.
Laundry Promise: It is our priority to properly clean and care for your laundry items, and we appreciate your trust. In the rare event that items are lost or damaged, this section explains our Laundry Promise to you.
Missing Items
CSC ServiceWorks is not responsible for any loose, non-laundry items lost when submitted in a laundry bag, such as watches, jewelry, cufflinks, money, wallets, etc., and shall have no liability for such items. With respect to laundry items, if you select doorstep delivery or pick-up instead of using a locker, CSC shall not be responsible if your laundry bag or items from your laundry bag are stolen either before the laundry is picked up or after it is delivered. Missing laundry items must be reported to us within 24 hours of the laundry being delivered to your designated delivery location. All claims are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and we will do our best to try to locate your missing item. Items are considered lost seven (7) calendar days after the item is reported as missing. If an item is timely reported as missing and is unable to be found, CSC ServiceWorks will provide you either an Account credit or cash compensation of up to $25 per missing item (subject to a maximum of $150 per laundry order). CSC will determine whether to provide an account credit or cash compensation in its sole discretion. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CSC Servicework’s aggregate liability in connection with a lost item shall not exceed the foregoing amount. All decisions on lost items are in CSC ServiceWorks’ sole discretion and are final.
Damaged Items
You must empty all pockets and remove loose items (such as watches, jewelry, cufflinks, money, wallets, belts, etc.) before submitting a CSC ServiceWorks laundry bag. CSC ServiceWorks is not responsible for any loose items lost when submitted in a CSC ServiceWorks laundry bag and shall have no liability for such items. CSC ServiceWorks will provide reimbursement for damaged laundry items in certain limited circumstances. First, the laundry item must be one of the items that CSC ServiceWorks accepts; we do not provide any reimbursement for damage to items that are on the list of items we do not accept or items that are expressly prohibited (see above). Second, the damage to the laundry item must be reported to us within 24 hours of the laundry being delivered to your home location and digital pictures of the damage must be provided to support your claim. Third, we do not reimburse for damage caused by items you left in your laundry (for example, ink pens, markers, lipstick, or sharp items). Fourth, we do not reimburse for normal wear-and-tear, which includes:
- Shrinkage
- Color fading or bleeding
- Small holes or tears from normal laundering
- Discoloration caused by hygiene or beauty products (for example, deodorant, perfume, cologne)
- Lost or damaged buttons
- Thinning of fabric
All damage claims are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If an item is timely reported as damaged and CSC ServiceWorks determines that the damage is reimbursable under the policy described above, CSC ServiceWorks will provide you an Account credit of up to $25 per missing item (subject to a maximum of $150 per laundry order). To the fullest extent permitted by law, CSC Servicework’s aggregate liability in connection with a damaged item shall not exceed the foregoing amount. All decisions on damaged items are in CSC ServiceWorks’ sole discretion and are final.
Use of the Services
In order to use the Service, you must register for and maintain an active personal User account (“Account”). You must be at least 16 years of age to register for an Account. We do not provide the Service to anyone under age 16 so please do not provide your information to us if you are under that age. You may not authorize third parties to use your Account, and you may not allow persons under the age of 16 to use the Service. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Account to any other person or entity; however, services or subscriptions may be paid on your behalf. You agree to comply with all applicable laws when using the Service, and you may only use the Service for lawful purposes. In certain instances CSC ServiceWorks or a third-party contractor may require you to provide proof of identity to access or use the Service, and you agree that you may be denied access or use of the Service if you refuse to provide proof of identity.
Account registration requires you to submit certain personal information, such as your name, address and mobile phone number, as well as at least one valid credit or debit card. You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Account. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information, including having an invalid or expired credit card on file, may result in your inability to access and use the Service.
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 CSC ServiceWorks in writing, you may only have one Account. In the event your Account is accessed without your authorization, you agree to immediately provide notice to CSC ServiceWorks.
You warrant and agree that your use of the Service, the Site or the App will not: (1) violate these Terms; (2) violate the rights of third parties, including rights of privacy or publicity or intellectual property rights; and (3) violate any applicable law, statute, regulation, or ordinance. You shall not resell or otherwise attempt to commercialize the Service.
CSC ServiceWorks reserves the right to accept, reject, modify, suspend, or delete any Account at any time within its sole and absolute discretion.

In the event you dispute the amount or validity of any charges, you must notify CSC ServiceWorks within fourteen (14) calendar days of any such dispute. You understand that your failure to notify CSC ServiceWorks of any dispute within fourteen (14) calendar days will constitute your express waiver of any claims related to the disputed charge. Please note that in the event you dispute any part of a valid charge via chargeback with your credit card company, you agree that we have the right at our option to pursue you for payment, to seek reimbursement of any related costs incurred by us, and to turn any past due account over to collections.
Termination
These Terms will remain in full force and effect until your use of the Service terminates, and certain provisions, which by their nature survive termination (for example, limitation of liability and mandatory arbitration of any disputes), will remain in force even after your use of our Service ceases.
You may terminate your Account with us at any time by emailing us or texting us. If you terminate your Account, you will no longer be able to use the Service and will forfeit any credit or service balance in your Account.
If CSC ServiceWorks elects to terminate your Account before the end of your current paid term for its own convenience or due to a Force Majeure Event (as defined below) and not as a result of your violation of these Terms, it will refund a prorated amount equal to your paid but unused Service fees.
A Force Majeure Event is an event beyond our control or your control that renders performance of the Service impossible or practically infeasible. It includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters such as hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, mudslides, or tornados, acts of God, acts or war, terrorism, or riots, epidemics or pandemics, and labor strikes, shortages, unavailability, or lock-outs, and supply chain delays.

Assumption of Risk
ATTENTION: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS SUBSTANTIAL AND SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTION OF RISK, WAIVERS, AND RELEASES BELOW THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PICKUP, DELIVERY AND LAUNDERING SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTORS THAT ARE NOT UNDER THE CONTROL, MANAGEMENT, OR DIRECTION OF CSC SERVICEWORKS. CSC SERVICEWORKS DOES NOT CONTROL, MANAGE OR DIRECT ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTORS. THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTORS ARE NOT ACTUAL AGENTS, APPARENT AGENTS, OSTENSIBLE AGENTS, OR EMPLOYEES OF CSC SERVICEWORKS. CSC SERVICEWORKS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE QUALITY, SUITABILITY, SAFETY OR ABILITY OF THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTORS.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE RISKS IN YOUR USE OF THE SITE, THE APP, AND THE SERVICE, WHICH RISKS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, THE LOSS, THEFT, DAMAGE, OR DESTRUCTION OF YOUR LAUNDRY OR PERSONAL ITEMS IN YOUR LAUNDRY BAG, DAMAGES FROM THE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OR THEFT OF PERSONAL AND PRIVATE INFORMATION, LAUNDRY ITEMS, OR PERSONAL ITEMS, AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, INCLUDING FROM POTENTIAL INJURIOUS HAZARDS IN LAUNDRY BAGS AND LAUNDERED CLOTHES, ALLERGIC OR NEGATIVE REACTIONS FROM DETERGENTS USED, OR FROM THE ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTORS.

Governing Law
The Service and these Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the United States, as applicable, and laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts of law principles.
Dispute Resolution – Mandatory Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.
Most User concerns can be resolved by contacting our customer service department at [email protected] or (833) 900-0545. In the event we cannot resolve a dispute with you, the provisions in this section govern the manner in which the dispute will be resolved.
Mandatory Binding Arbitration: You and CSC ServiceWorks agree that any dispute, claim or controversy between you and CSC ServiceWorks (including any of CSC ServiceWorks’ parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or related corporations, officers, directors, shareholders, members, employees, agents, or representatives) arising from (i) your use of the Service, the Site or the App, (ii) these Terms of Service, or (iii) the actions or inactions of third-party contractors performing the laundry services, whether based on contract, in tort, upon a statute, or on any other legal theory, shall be decided by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (https://www.jamsadr.com/) and conducted pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. If JAMS is not available or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties shall agree to select an alternative arbitration administrator.
YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES, OR CLAIMS IN A COURT OF LAW (EXCEPT THOSE CLAIMS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF SMALL CLAIMS COURT), AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAW.
You agree that, by entering into this agreement and engaging in interstate commerce by using the Service, the Site, or the App, the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
Exception to Mandatory Arbitration: This mandatory arbitration requirement does not apply to: (1) disputes that are within the jurisdiction of small claims court – you or we may still seek relief from either the small claims court with jurisdiction over the applicable claim or arbitrate the dispute with JAMS; or (2) intellectual property disputes.
Required Pre-Arbitration Notice of Disputes: If you or we intend to seek arbitration of a dispute, then the party that intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written notice of dispute (“Notice”). The Notice must include: (1) the party’s name, address and email contact; (2) a description of the nature and basis of the dispute; and (3) an explanation of the specific relief sought, including an approximation of any damages being claimed. If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within 60 calendar days after the Notice is received (provided that it contains all required information), then you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. Please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/ for more information about how to commence an arbitration.
Arbitration Process: You and we agree that arbitration will involve a single, neutral arbitrator to decide a dispute. You and we will jointly agree upon the arbitrator from a list of potential arbitrators (and in the event we cannot agree, an arbitrator will be appointed by JAMS).
We will pay the filing fee for any arbitration we commence, and we further agree that your filing fee for arbitration will be capped at the amount set by JAMS for consumer arbitrations (currently, this amount is $250, but JAMS may change it any time). We generally will pay other fees as required by JAMS, including the case management fee and any professional fees for the arbitrator’s services; however, the arbitrator shall award costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, except where prohibited by applicable law.
In arbitration you have the right, at your own expense, to be represented by an attorney or representative of your choosing. You and we will have an opportunity to conduct reasonable discovery of non-privileged documents and information relevant to the dispute. You and we will have the right to subpoena witnesses to provide testimony for the arbitration hearing and to cross-examine the other party’s witnesses.
You and we agree that any in-person arbitration hearing will be conducted in the United States within 25 miles of the delivery/pick-up location for your Account. You and we may also agree to conduct an arbitration hearing via telephone or virtual proceeding or to waive the arbitration hearing and submit the dispute to the arbitrator based on the documentary evidence and written submissions.
The arbitrator shall be permitted to award any relief available in a court of law. The arbitrator’s award will consist of a written statement stating the decision on each claim and will provide a concise statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on both you and us and shall be subject to review only as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.
This agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of the Terms of Service and the termination of your use of the Service, the Site or the App.
Class Action Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND CSC SERVICEWORKS EACH AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES SHALL NOT BE CONDUCTED AS, OR CONSOLIDATED WITH, A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WHETHER SUCH PROCEEDING IS IN COURT, IN AN ARBITRATION, OR IN ANY OTHER FORUM. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION, SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS, OR PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS IN ANY PROCEEDING AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY. YOU AND CSC SERVICEWORKS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND SHALL NOT BE CONSOLIDATED WITH OR PROCEED AS A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION FOR ANY PURPOSE.
Venue
Any claim arising out of the Service, the Site or the App that is not required to be arbitrated pursuant to the arbitration agreement above shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York. You and we agree that the state or federal courts in New York County, New York shall have personal jurisdiction over us for the purpose of litigating all such claims.
Assignment
You acknowledge and agree that you are prohibited from assigning your rights and obligations under these Terms and the Service. CSC ServiceWorks may assign its rights and obligations at any time.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions will remain valid and unimpaired and will continue in full force and effect.
Waiver
You understand and agree that no provision of these Terms will be deemed to have been waived and no breach will be deemed to have been consented to unless said waiver or consent is in writing and signed by the party to be charged. No failure on the part of CSC ServiceWorks to enforce any part of these Terms shall constitute a waiver of any of CSC ServiceWorks’ rights under the Terms or applicable law.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, the incorporated Privacy Notice, and the incorporated License Agreement for the App constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to Users’ use of the Service, the Site, and the App. For Laundry Pros, the entire agreement also includes their Independent Contractor Agreement with CSC ServiceWorks.

You acknowledge and agree that any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from you will not bind CSC ServiceWorks.
