These Additional Terms, together with the Member Agreement incorporated within by reference, govern your access to and use of the Platform and constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Beespoke. Your agreement to comply with and be bound by these Additional Terms is deemed to occur upon your first use of the Platform. If you continue to browse and use the Platform, you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by the following Agreement in full, which together with our Privacy Policy, which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference, govern the relationship between us and you in relation to your use of the Platform. If you disagree with any part of this Agreement, you must not use the Platform.

We may change this Agreement from time to time without prior notice. You should check from time to time to review the current terms of this Agreement because the up to date terms of use are the ones that will be binding on you.

Beespoke is the owner of a technology platform that creates a network to connect potential customers ("Clients") with fully-licensed (to the extent required by applicable law) and qualified professionals (“Professional”, “You”, “Your”), in the business of providing home cleaning, childcare, pet care, fitness services and any other services ("Services").

Beespoke provides a Platform through which Clients may connect with Professionals with whom they may arrange a variety of Services. Beespoke and Professional intend that the Professional will provide its Services to the Clients strictly as an independent contractor and not as an employee, worker, agent, joint venturer, partner or franchisee of Beespoke or any Client for any purpose.

Beespoke does not provide the Services described in this Agreement and does not employ Professionals to perform said Services. Beespoke’s role is limited to offering the Platform as a tool for Professionals and Client to connect and interact.

You shall be eligible to advertise your Services through the Platform in so far as you are fully-licensed (to the extent required by applicable law) and qualified to provide the said Services. In those jurisdictions where a license, permit, or certification is required to perform the Services, you shall, upon request, provide proof to Beespoke, and to the Client, of all necessary licenses, permits and/or certifications before you provide any such Services under this Agreement.

From time to time, at their sole and complete discretion, Clients will send you enquiries using the Platform (the "Enquiries").

Beespoke does not guarantee you any minimum number of Enquiries will be received at any point during the term of this Agreement.

You have no obligation to respond Client Enquiry received through the Platform.

Each Enquiry received shall be treated as an entirely independent engagement and, other than as set out in this Agreement, there shall be no relationship between you and Beespoke. Neither party wishes to create or imply any mutuality of obligation between themselves.

If you accept an Enquiry, a contract may be formed between you and the Client, under your own Terms & Conditions.

Beespoke shall not control or have any right to control the manner or means by which you perform the Services, including but not limited to the time and place you perform the Services, the tools and materials you use to perform the Services, or the manner in which you complete the Services. Beespoke will not and has no right to, under any circumstances, inspect your work for quality purposes.

You acknowledge that the Platform is intended only to those Professionals who maintain the highest standards of professionalism and quality of service.

To ensure that the Platform remains a reliable source of recommendations for the Clients, you acknowledge the following responsibilities and shall ensure, for the entire period of the Agreement, to:

(a)  provide a fair view of your availabilities, and maintain them up to date at all times to the best of your ability in their Account;

(b)  maintain your coverage area up to date at all times to the best of your ability in your Account;

(c)  reply as soon as is practical to all Enquiries received from Clients.

(d)  personally perform the Services, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement;

(e)  inform the Client as soon as you reasonably can if you are unable to provide the Services or complete any part the Services for any reason;

(f) not incur any expense on the Client’s behalf unless the Client specifically tells you to do so in writing;

(g)  comply with all reasonable standards of safety at the place where the Services are provided, and to report any unsafe working conditions or practices;

(h)  comply with all applicable laws about anti-bribery and anti-corruption including the Bribery Act 2010, and also with Beespoke’s data protection policies that you are made aware of; and

(i)  make sure that nothing you do will be unlawful or infringe anybody else's rights of data or privacy, or be obscene, or damage anybody's reputation in a way that the law judges to be defamatory.

Further, you agree to maintain high standards of professionalism and quality of service, including but not limited to maintaining tools and materials consistent with industry standard and in good working condition;

You are an independent contractor and you will use your own initiative as to the way in which the Services are delivered, provided that in doing so you shall undertake all reasonable efforts to deliver an excellent experience to the Client.

As far as is reasonably practicable, you shall provide, at your own cost, all such equipment as is agreed with the Client for the satisfactory performance of the Services.

You warrant and undertake that, by providing the Services to the Client, you are not in breach of any other obligation binding upon you and that you are entitled to work in the UK.

You consent to:

(a)  Beespoke holding and processing data relating to you for legal, personnel, administrative and management purposes and in particular to the processing of any "sensitive personal data" (as defined in the Data Protection Act 1998);

(b)  Beespoke making such information available to those who provide products or services to Beespoke such as advisers, regulatory authorities, governmental or quasi-governmental organisations and potential purchasers of Beespoke or any part of its business;

(c)  the transfer of such information to Beespoke’s business contacts outside the European Economic Area in order to further its business interests.

We may occasionally need to change the features and/or change the prices charged for your Subscription. In the event of any increase in the price or material reduction in the features of any Paid Subscription, we will communicate these change(s) to you at least six (6) weeks in advance and the changes will only take effect with respect to any subsequent renewal of your subscription. You will have no obligation to continue using the Platform following any such notification, but if you do not terminate your account as described in the Termination section below during such six (6) week period, your continued use of your account after the end of that six (6) week period will constitute your acceptance of the changes to your Paid Subscription.
