For Proposal Description 1

This agreement, dated [OpportunityProposedDate!MMMM d, yyyy] between Landscape Management, and [PropertyName] located at [PropertyAddressLine1], [PropertyCity], [PropertyStateProvinceName] [PropertyZipCode], shall begin on [OpportunityStartDate!MMMM dd, yyyy] and shall end on [OpportunityEndDate!MMMM dd, yyyy]. Subject to mutual agreement of all parties involved and with respect to any changes to the original Landscape Maintenance agreement or annual cost, this agreement will automatically renew each year.

For Proposal Description 2

Amount: Owner or Representative agrees to pay the Contractor [OpportunityTotalEstimatedCost!c2] in 12 monthly installments of [FirstBillingAmount!c2]. If we do not receive the check by net 30, we will charge a 1.5% late fee of the current balance due. If Owner or Representative fails to make installments on a timely manner, Contractor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. If terminated, all limited guarantees relating to the installation of plants, trees, shrubs, and work performed during the Agreement period will be void.
