The terms governing your use of the Rideau Earthworks and Demolition website and services.
Last updated: April 15, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website rideauearthdemo.com (the “Site”) operated by Rideau Earthworks and Demolition (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Services
Rideau Earthworks and Demolition provides earthworks, demolition, and hauling services throughout the City of Ottawa and surrounding Eastern Ontario. The Site provides information about our services and lets you request an on-site estimate or submit project inquiries through our contact and quote forms.
2. Estimates and Scheduling
- Free on-site estimates are provided for residential and light commercial projects within our service area. Estimates can be requested through our online quote form, by phone, or by email.
- Quotes are written and outline the scope of work, estimated timeline, and total cost. A quote becomes a binding agreement once you accept it in writing (by email, signed quote, or other confirmation).
- Scheduling is confirmed in writing after a quote is accepted. We will agree on a target start date and provide updates if anything changes.
- Rescheduling: we ask for reasonable notice (typically 48 hours or more) if you need to cancel or reschedule confirmed work, so we can accommodate other customers.
- Weather, site conditions, and equipment availability may require us to reschedule on short notice. If this happens, we will notify you as soon as possible and agree on a new date together.
- Estimates provided verbally or through the Site’s quote form are preliminary. Final pricing is always confirmed in a written quote before work begins.
3. Payments
- Payment terms are specified in your written quote and may include a deposit to secure scheduling, progress payments for multi-day projects, and a final balance due on completion.
- Accepted payment methods (e.g., e-transfer, cheque, credit card) will be specified in your quote or invoice.
- All prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD) and are subject to applicable taxes, including HST.
- Late payments: outstanding balances may be subject to interest and collection costs as permitted by Ontario law. Interest terms, if any, will be specified on your invoice.
- Disputes: if you believe an invoice contains an error, please contact us promptly so we can review and resolve the issue.

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes. You may not:
