Terms

Terms of use

These terms are a working draft for the worker-intake phase of Garden Route Hands and should be reviewed before full public launch.

1. Current platform phase

Garden Route Hands is currently preparing to launch a Garden Route-focused once-off domestic cleaning booking platform. During this phase, the website is mainly used to collect worker applications and contact enquiries.

2. Worker applications

Submitting a worker application does not guarantee approval, work, income, permanent employment, recurring work, or placement. Applications are reviewed and screened at the discretion of Garden Route Hands.

Garden Route Hands may contact applicants for further information, reference checks, ID verification, screening, or application review. Garden Route Hands may decline, pause, or remove an application at its discretion.

3. Screening and approval

Garden Route Hands may use submitted information, references, screening notes, ID information, and communication with applicants to decide whether an applicant is suitable for possible future once-off cleaning work.

Approval as a worker, if granted, does not create permanent employment, guaranteed work, guaranteed income, guaranteed recurring work, or a right to receive future booking offers.

4. Future work offers

Once client bookings open, approved workers may receive direct job offers by phone, WhatsApp, or another communication method. Workers may accept or decline individual offers.

A job offer is only for the specific booking offered. It does not guarantee any future booking, recurring work, minimum number of jobs, or continued approval on the platform.

5. No employment guarantee

Garden Route Hands is not currently offering permanent employment, live-in domestic employment, au pair placement, guaranteed income, or guaranteed recurring employment. The intended service scope is future once-off domestic cleaning work.

6. Worker responsibilities

Applicants must provide accurate and truthful information. Applicants must not submit false references, false identity details, misleading experience claims, or incorrect availability information.

Applicants and approved workers must keep Garden Route Hands informed if their contact details, availability, transport access, work areas, or ability to accept work changes materially.

7. Client bookings

Public client bookings are not yet open. Any client-facing services, prices, availability, allocation processes, payment processes, insurance wording, and booking terms may be updated before client launch.

8. Website use

Users may not misuse the website, attempt to access restricted areas, interfere with the website, submit harmful content, or use the website for unlawful purposes.

9. Changes to these terms

Garden Route Hands may update these terms as the platform moves from worker intake to public client bookings. The latest version published on the website will apply.

Important notice

Legal review needed

These terms are not a substitute for legal advice. They should be reviewed properly before collecting high volumes of real applications or launching client bookings.
