Hide Terms
These Service Provider Terms and Conditions apply to freelance Service Providers and CWCS Pte Ltd, collectively the “Parties”.
RECITALS
- CWCS Pte Ltd (“CWCS”) operates and manages an online platform at www.cwcleaningsg.com (the “Website”) through which a customer (the “Customer”) can book a home cleaning appointment by submitting a Booking Request. Once a Booking Request has been submitted, CWCS then proposes via an algorithm the Booking Request to the most suitable Service Provider from its database (the “Database”). Once assigned, the Service Provider is permitted to accept or reject the Booking Request. Once Booked Services have been completed, CWCS issues an invoice to the Customer on behalf of the Service Provider. Once issued, the Payment Agent collects payment of the Booked Service Fee from the Customer. Once collected the Payment Agent disburses the Booked Service Fee to the Service Provider.
- The role of CWCS is that of a Website operator, manager of the Database, and third party facilitator of contracts and invoicing between the Customer and the Service Provider. For avoidance of doubt, CWCS itself is not providing any Cleaning Services for Customers.
