The terms and conditions of the above-referenced programs offered by Agency (collectively, the “Programs”) are described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
2. AGENCY’S SERVICES. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Agency shall locate and refer for Client’s consideration Candidates for the applicable Program after conducting the Background Investigation (as defined below) for Candidates (the “Search Services”). Agency shall make reasonable efforts according to applicable law to conduct an investigation of each Candidate, which shall include (1) a criminal check, sex offender check, social security verification, driving history, drug screening, (2) a check of Candidate’s work references, (3) verification that Candidate has at least one year of relevant experience, has current First Aid and CPR Certifications, (4) is at least twenty (20) years of age and (5) is eligible to work in the United States (the “Background Investigation”). Agency is solely an employment broker and does not hire or employ any Candidate. In no event shall Agency hire any Candidate or be a party to any employment agreement with any Candidate, including, but not limited to, any employment agreement between Candidate and Client; each Candidate is to be hired, employed and paid solely by Client.
3. TERM AND TERMINATION. Unless sooner terminated as provided in Exhibit A, the term of Agency’s Permanent Placement Household Services Program shall commence on the date Client hires a Candidate and for (a) Category A Services (as defined in Exhibit A), terminate sixty (60) days after Candidate starts providing Household Services (as defined in Exhibit A) to Client or (b) Category B Services (as defined in Exhibit A), terminate one hundred eighty (180) days after Candidate starts providing Household Services to Client. For all other Programs, the initial term of this Agreement shall be three hundred sixty five (365) days from the date of this Agreement, provided, however, that this Agreement shall automatically renew for like periods unless Client provides Agency with written notice to terminate no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the initial term or any subsequent renewal term. The applicable Term as the same may be renewed, shall be referred to as the “Term.” Any renewal of the Term pursuant to the preceding sentences shall be on the same terms and conditions as the initial term, provided, however, if Client received a complimentary or discounted membership fee for the initial term of this Agreement, the membership fee for the first renewal term shall be Agency’s then current membership fee rate at the time of such renewal, which renewal fee shall then apply to any subsequent renewals of the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Agency, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that Client or Client’s household is unsuitable for any Registry Program or Agency’s Red Carpet Program, Agency may terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon Agency sending written notice to Client to the address reflected below Client’s signature on this Agreement. Agency may terminate this Agreement with respect to its Permanent Placement Household Services Program as provided in Exhibit A.
4. AGENCY COMPENSATION; NO SOLICITATION. Client shall pay Agency the compensation in the amount(s) and at the time(s) set forth under the applicable Program under Exhibit A. Client acknowledges that Client has Agency to assist Client in finding household help. Client has reviewed the applicable fee options for Client’s selected Program and agrees to pay the fee in full and sign the Agreement before the person begins working in Client’s home. Client acknowledges that Agency has invested in the interviews and background checks of the Candidates. Therefore, Client will not hire or attempt to hire any Candidate Agency sends Client without processing all the necessary contracts as required by Agency through Agency’s office. Client will not refer any of the Candidates referred to Client by Agency to anyone for potential employment without processing the contract and fee through Agency.
5. BOOKINGS AND FEES. This Section 5 shall not apply to Agency’s Permanent Placement Household Services Program. In the event the applicable Program under this Agreement is Agency’s Babysitting Registry, Housekeeping Registry or Pet Sitting Registry (each a “Registry Program”), the conditions set forth in this Section 5 shall apply to the Agreement. Client shall book a Candidate by calling Agency at (702) 451-0021 Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time (“Normal Business Hours”) at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of Client’s desired start time for Candidate (the “Minimum Notice”). Each time Client hires a Candidate shall be a separate booking (“Booking”). The applicable non-refundable booking fee (“Booking Fee”) shall be as set forth on Exhibit A for the applicable Program. Client shall be obligated to hire a Candidate for a minimum of four (4) consecutive hours per Booking (“Minimum Booking Time”). Client shall pay Candidate directly the applicable rate per hour set forth on Exhibit A upon Candidate’s completion of each Booking, provided, however, that such hourly rate shall be subject to change without notice to Client. Client must cancel any Booking upon at least four (4) hours’ notice (“Cancellation Notice”), provided, however, that Client shall pay Agency the Booking Fee regardless of providing Agency with the proper Cancellation Notice. Without limiting the foregoing, if Client does not provide the requisite Cancellation Notice to Agency, Client shall directly pay the booked Candidate a cancellation fee in an amount equal to the applicable hourly rate for the booked Candidate multiplied by the Minimum Booking Time. For each Registry Program, Client agrees to pay Agency the applicable Booking Fee for each time a Candidate provides services to Client whether or not the Candidate was placed by the Agency if (i) the Candidate was introduced to Client by Agency at any time within one (1) year of the date the Client hired such Candidate or (ii) a Candidate was hired by Client during the Term of this Agreement to provide domestic services. Client may add an additional Registry Program to this Agreement, which additional Registry Program shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to such Registry Program set forth in Exhibit A.
6. HOLD HARMLESS. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed as creating or establishing the relationship of employer and employee between Agency and any Candidate. No Candidate is a party to this Agreement. Agency disclaims and Client holds Agency harmless for any liability due to the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of any Candidate hired by Client. Client shall hold Agency and its owners, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever, which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agency or such parties as the result of the Search Services provided by Agency herein. Client represents and warrants it personally interviewed and accepted each Candidate prior to hiring such Candidate. Client’s hold harmless obligation pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. AGENCY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE COMPLETENESS OR ACCURACY OF THE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION OF ANY CANDIDATE AS IT RELATES TO INFORMATION PROVIDED TO AGENCY BY THIRD PARTIES.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY. Client agrees that Client shall hold in strictest confidence, and shall not at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose, copy or communicate to any person, firm or corporation, any proprietary or confidential information concerning the business of Agency or the workers recruited by Agency. The warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth in this Section 7 shall not expire for any reason and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
