TERMS OF USE

These Terms & Conditions (these “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and CareFind Ltd. (referred to as “we” or “us” in these Terms). By using our website(s), app and services, including https://carefind.ca/ (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. If you have any questions about our Terms, please contact us.

SERVICES

Our Service connects registered users seeking childcare services (“Customers”) with certain third parties who provide childcare services (“Child Care Providers”) (Customers and Child Care Providers together are “Members”), and allows Customers to find and book openings for full, part time and drop in care for their children. Child Care Providers publish their childcare services on our Service (“Listings”), and our Service allows Customers and Child Care Providers to connect to book childcare services (each a “Booking”). We provide the Service only. We have no control over any childcare services. Child Care Providers are solely responsible for their Listings and the childcare services that they provide. We are always trying to improve, so we may change any aspect of the Services at any time, including adding or removing functionality.

While we may (in our discretion) help to facilitate the resolution of disputes between Members, we have no control over and do not guarantee:

anything about Listings or childcare services, including quality, safety, suitability, certifications or legality;
what is in any Listing description or communications from any Member, including that the Listings or content are true or correct; or
anything about how others conduct themselves, including Members.

We do not endorse any Member, Listing or childcare service. You should ensure that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to engage with any Child Care Provider or use any childcare services, accept a Booking request from a Customer, or communicate or interact with other Members.

You understand that certain occurrences such as unexpected system maintenances and server failures may temporarily interrupt access to the Service. In such cases, you understand that the causes may be beyond our control. We cannot and do not guarantee that the Service will always be available. You also understand that the Services may depend on electronic messaging, such as email or text messaging, and no method of delivery over an electronic communication channel is 100% reliable. We cannot and do not guarantee that every electronic message will be received by the intended recipient.

If you are having any issues with the Service, please contact [email protected].

ELIGIBILITY FOR MEMBERSHIP

In order to register as a Member, you must:

be at least 18 years old;
be in compliance with these Terms;
successfully complete the verification process set out in Section 4; and
in the case of a Child Care Provider, be properly accredited and licenced by all relevant authorities.

VERIFICATION

You may register as a Member only if you meet our requirements, such as completing a verification process or meeting specific quality or eligibility criteria (as determined by us in our sole discretion from time to time). This might include, in the case of a Child Care Provider, providing satisfactory evidence of appropriate registration and insurance and criminal record checks.

FEES, BOOKING MODIFICATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS

By registering as a Child Care Provider, you agree to pay on a monthly basis a total non-refundable amount equal to the monthly rate in effect from time to time (the “Monthly Charge”). You commit to paying the Monthly Charge on and from the date on which you are a registered Child Care Provider for as long as you remain so registered, including in accordance with any terms set out in the Service. We may change our fees, including our fee structure or the basis on which we charge fees, at any time by posting a new pricing structure to our website and/or sending you a notification by email.

Customers can cancel or modify a confirmed Booking in accordance with the Listing’s cancellation policy or as otherwise agreed between the Customer and the applicable Child Care Provider on such terms that they agree.
