TRANSACTIONS

  1. Rates & Tipping

Based on information provided during the application process, we categorize each of our Professionals as beginners, juniors or VIPs. We then set the hourly rates for each category of Professionals. These hourly rates are determined in our sole discretion and are subject to change without notice. In addition to those fees, we also charge additional fees such as booking fees as described in more detail below. Unless otherwise stated, such fees do not include taxes or duties of any kind, and all taxes and duties are the responsibility of the User or Professional, as applicable.

Cash tips are not permitted. Any tipping by Users to Professionals is to occur solely through the Platform. For the sake of clarity, any booking fees or other fees that we charge as a percentage of orders are not charged on tips (but third-party payment processing fees may be).

  • Fees

By creating an Account with the Platform, you will be added to the network of Professionals made available to Users through the Platform. When Users submit a request for services from Professionals that meet your characteristics (e.g., experience level, expertise), you will receive a notification and will have the ability to accept the applicable appointment on a first-come, first-served basis. Beauchic have the rights to override this and manually assign the service to professional accordingly.

You acknowledge and agree that we may charge and retain a service fee of twenty five percent (25%) of your fee for all accepted appointments made through the Platform, but that we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to from time to time change the amount of such service fee. We will at all times use a third-party payment processor to collect the applicable fees from our Users and to remit to you the amounts due to you (after deducting our 25% service fee). You will not be paid for any booking for which the payment does not go through (e.g., a card is declined) or which is cancelled outside of 24 hours from the appointment as described in the Cancellations / Changes / Refunds section below.

You agree that you will at all times maintain accurate and current electronic payment information within the Platform, and authorize us to make any payments or adjustments as due or necessary, including without limitation processing payment of the service fee and any cancellation fee payable to us (as described below).

Once a User makes a booking of your services through the Platform, you may not alter the price upon which the booking was based unless you agree, in your discretion, to provide services over and above the initial request for a higher fee.

  • Cancellations / Changes / Refunds

It is absolutely essential to the success of our Platform that our Professionals keep their appointments and are punctual. For this reason, you agree that you may incur certain penalties in the event you cancel or change accepted appointments as described in more detail hereunder.

  • If you cancel more than 24 hours before your accepted appointment, there is no financial penalty. However, you will receive one “strike.” If you receive three (3) total strikes, without limiting any of our other rights hereunder, we may immediately terminate your account.
  • If you cancel any time less than 24 hours but more than 12 hour before your accepted appointment, you will incur a penalty equal to 50% of the total fee for the accepted appointment (i.e., your fee plus any surge pricing). In addition, we will have the right to immediately terminate your account or to give you a strike.
  • •       If you cancel 12 hour or less from your accepted appointment, or if you fail to appear at your accepted appointment at the scheduled time, you will incur a penalty equal to 100% of the total fee for the accepted appointment. In addition, we will have the right to immediately terminate your account or to give you a strike.
  • If you are late to an accepted appointment by 15 minutes or more, you will incur a penalty equal to 50% of the total fee for the appointment.

If the User cancels an accepted appointment more than 24 hours before its scheduled time, the cancellation will be honored and you will not receive any payment (in such situations, you agree that under certain circumstances, we may keep the booking fee charged to the User).

If a User cancels an accepted appointment 24 hours or less before the scheduled time, the User will be given the opportunity to reschedule with you at a time that is best suitable for both. If the User attempts to reschedule in this manner but you do not accept it, the opportunity will be presented to other Professionals. If another Professional accepts the rescheduled time, you will not receive any fees. If the User cancelled the appointment in less than 24 hours and does not attempt to reschedule, we will hold the 50% of cancellation fees from User and only 25% will be compensate to Professional for loss of time incur.

  • No Guarantees

For the sake of clarity, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees that if you join the Platform as a Professional you will successfully book any appointments or earn any level of fees.
