Coldline Refrigeration Services, Inc. · reviewed October 6, 2026

This is an Equipment Service Agreement between your business and Coldline Refrigeration Services, Inc. The Provider will inspect, maintain, and repair your commercial refrigeration equipment quarterly and respond to emergency calls within 24 hours. You pay $640 per month, due within 15 days, with 2% monthly interest on late payments. The contract runs for an initial 24-month term and automatically renews for successive 24-month terms unless you give written notice of non-renewal at least 120 days before the end of the current term, with the monthly fee increasing 12% at each renewal. The Provider can terminate the agreement at any time, for any reason, effective immediately, while you can only terminate for the Provider's uncured material breach.

The individual signing on behalf of your business personally and unconditionally guarantees all amounts owed, without limit as to amount or time. The agreement is governed by Ohio law.

  1. Provider may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, upon written notice to Customer, effective immediately.

    The Provider can end this agreement immediately, for any reason or no reason, with no cure period and no opportunity for you to fix anything first — while you can only terminate for the Provider's uncured material breach. This is a one-sided exit right that could end your refrigeration service relationship at any moment, which is a serious operational risk for a business that depends on working refrigeration equipment.

    Language you could propose

Either party may also terminate without cause upon ninety (90) days' written notice to the other party."
