Applicants must indicate their credit card number, as well as the validity date and the last three digits of the pictogram on the back of the card (SSL security protocol).

Article 7.               Description of Services

 

7.1. Internal messaging

An Applicant may contact an Intervener by internal messaging. After registration, the Applicant has the option of sending messages to Interveners free of charge, by clicking on "Contact" on the Interveners' profile.

The Intervener may accept, refuse or discuss a reservation request from an Applicant.

The Intervener may send written messages to an Applicant, provided that the initial contact has been accepted by both parties.

 

7.2. Booking (Mission Request)

The Applicant undertakes to use the online booking of the Interveners for the performance of the Missions and undertakes not to remunerate the Missions of Interveners not booked via the Platform. As such, the rates remain freely fixed by the Intervener under the legally authorized conditions. The Participant registered on the Platform undertakes to always use online booking on the Platform to carry out its Missions and undertakes not to accept any remuneration for Missions from Applicants whose reservations have not been made on the Platform.

Marypop reserves the right to exclude, without notice and without any liability, any Member who does not comply with this provision.

A Applicant may in any case make a request for a Mission without first sending a message to an Intervenor.

The Applicant is free to choose the Intervenor who best suits his needs.

Under no circumstances does Marypop advise or guide the Applicant in the choice of an Intervener. The Applicant is solely responsible for the selection of the Intervener he contacts. Marypop does not guarantee to the Applicant that the Intervener has the necessary legal documents enabling him to exercise an activity as an employee or self-employed person in the country where the Mission takes place. Marypop cannot be held liable if necessary.

Generally speaking, the Applicant undertakes to provide all the information and resources necessary to enable the Intervener to carry out the Mission and undertakes to pay the Intervener for the Mission.

The hourly cost displayed on the Platform corresponds to the net price for one hour of Mission. This net price does not include the social security contributions relating to the Mission and any assistance to which the Applicant may be entitled under Personal Services.

In the case of a single Mission, the price is the hourly cost multiplied by the number of hours of the Mission.

The price is expressed in Euro and includes all taxes (including VAT).

 

7.3. Methods of payment of the Mission price

When placing his first order for a Mission, the Applicant must register a credit card on which a pre-authorization request will be made to his bank for the sums incurred in connection with the Services ("the Committed Amounts"), namely the Booking Fee. Only MasterCard, Visa and Carte Bleue bank cards are taken into account.

The Applicant's banking data will be collected by Marypop payment service providers and will be kept securely by them during the time of his registration to the Services to enable him to proceed with other orders or to be able to pay for recurring Missions. The Committed Amounts will only be deducted if the Intervener accepts the Mission. The transaction is concluded between the Claimant and the Intervener.

 

7.4. Payment dispute

In the event of disagreement between the Claimant and the Intervener, Marypop cannot be held responsible and cannot intervene on behalf of either party.

 

7.5. Cancellation of a Mission

(i) Cancellation from a Claimant

The payment of the reservation remains due by the Applicant in the event that the Applicant cancels it less than 12 hours before the start of the Mission.

This clause is left to the discretion of Marypop Customer Service, particularly in the event of a cancellation deemed by Marypop to be of major importance.

(ii) Cancellation by an Intervener

The Intervenors may cancel a Mission, at no cost and without compensation to the Claimant.

Marypop reserves the right to close a Member's account in the event of frequent cancellations.

 

Article 8.             Assessment of the quality of the Missions

 

Once a Mission has been carried out by the Intervener, the Applicant is invited to leave a comment on the quality of the Mission carried out by the Intervener and give it a mark. The appreciations and notes left by the Applicants will be visible to other Users on the Intervener's profile.

Marypop reserves the right not to post the rating given online in the event of an excess or rating that does not seem appropriate.

The Interveners agree that their Mission(s) may be rated by the Applicants, knowing that they will do so on the Marypop Platform.

The aim is to guarantee to the Applicants the skills of the Interveners who will be required to carry out Missions.

It is in no way a question of noting the person but only his Mission as a Home Intervener.

The rating consists of assigning a rating that assesses the overall quality of the Mission, with ratings ranging from one to five stars.

When the Speaker has received at least one rating, the rating from one to five stars will be placed online next to the Speaker's profile, as posted on the Marypop.com website. With each new rating, a new average will be established.

The individual notes given by the Claimants to an Intervener may, where applicable, be disclosed to the Intervener concerned at its request. The latter will be able to respond to the assessment through his right of reply by responding to the rating on his profile.

Depending on their age or the evolution of the assessments given by the Applicants, Marypop.com reserves the right to delete ratings.

 

Article 9.             Assessment of Applicants knowledge and skills

 

Once a Mission has been carried out by the Intervener, the latter might be invited to leave a comment on the Applicant. The assessments left by the Intervenors will be visible to Users on the Applicant's profile.

Marypop reserves the right not to post a given comment online in the event of an excess or rating that does not seem appropriate.

The Applicants agree to be rated by the Intervenors, if necessary, knowing that they will do so on the Marypop Platform.

The purpose is to inform the Intervenors, before confirming a reservation, of a certain amount of information concerning the behaviour of the Applicant.

 

Article 10.           Remuneration of Marypop

 

In return for the Services provided to Members, Marypop receives a commission, the amount of which is indicated on the Platform.

Marypop reserves the right to propose promotional offers and/or to modify the amount of the applicable commissions and their terms and conditions of application on all Marypop offers (packages, subscriptions, gift cards). Members will be informed of these new amounts and of the new conditions of application.

Members acknowledge and agree that it is their responsibility to be aware of the amount of commissions applicable on the date on which they respond favourably to a Mission or the amounts applicable on the date on which they subscribe.

Subscribing to a package allows the Member to benefit from a discount on the amount of the commissions. The payment of the cost of the baby-sitting remains due. The subscription constitutes a remuneration for Marypop and does not include the cost of the baby-sittings.

The subscription to a Marypop package is taken out for a minimum period and is tacitly renewed.

 

Article 11.           Financial transactions and debt collection

 

Marypop has chosen to trust Stripe for all its electronic payment services by credit card. By using the credit card payment system during the Missions proposed on the Marypop Platform, Members accept the Stripe Terms of Use available at https://stripe.com/fr/legal

In the event of a payment failure resulting in non-payment or partial payment, Marypop reserves the right to represent a payment on the payment method registered at the time of booking, to collect reminder fees from the Member and to entrust the management of the collection of unpaid amounts to a trusted third party.

 

Article 12.           Right of withdrawal

 

In accordance with Article L. 221-18 of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal is 14 days from the conclusion of the contract. To exercise the right of withdrawal, it is necessary to send a written letter or an electronic message clearly expressing the will to exercise this right with the details of the contract or the following message:

The request must be addressed:

However, in accordance with Article L.221-28 1° of the Consumer Code, the User expressly waives the right of withdrawal if the Mission is carried out immediately and carried out before the end of the withdrawal period (non-exhaustive examples: exchange of messages with Intervenors or Applicants, request or performance of a Mission, etc.)

13.2 Role and responsibility of Marypop

Marypop and the Members are independent parties, each acting in its own name and on its own behalf.

Marypop does not conclude any contract in the name and/or on behalf of an Intervener or a Claimant, the latter contracting directly between themselves through the Platform.

Marypop is not a party to any contracts concluded between the Members; Marypop shall under no circumstances be held liable for any difficulties that may arise during the conclusion or performance of these contracts, nor be a party to any disputes between them, due to any guarantees, declarations or obligations to which the Members may be bound.

In particular, Marypop is not responsible for the quality or conformity of the Mission carried out by the Intervener.

Marypop can under no circumstances be considered as an employee / employer of a Member; the Intervenors can under no circumstances be considered as subcontractors of Marypop.

Marypop declines all responsibility for any incidents or accidents that may occur to Members during the Mission. More generally, Marypop cannot be held liable for any damage of any kind (personal, physical, material - including missing items - financial or other) that may occur during a Mission. No claims will be accepted in this respect.

Marypop undertakes to provide the Services diligently and in accordance with the rules of the art, it being specified that it is under an obligation of means, to the exclusion of any obligation of result, which the Users expressly acknowledge and accept. Marypop liability is exclusively limited to the provision of the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions described in these General Terms and Conditions.

Marypop cannot be held responsible for the Contents, whose authors are third parties. Therefore, any possible claim should first be directed to the author of the Content in question.

15.1. Suspension of the Member account

Each Member may request from contact@marypop.com to suspend the publication of an advertisement published on his personal account in order to be put in contact with other Members of the Platform.

15.2. Termination of the Member account

 

Intervener's account

Each Participant may terminate his or her registration on Marypop at any time by requesting the closure of his or her account without any reason and at no cost other than those related to the transmission of his or her request to contact@marypop.com. In order to close an account, no Mission must be in progress. A Stakeholder Member who wishes to close his account while an Assignment is in progress must first cancel his Assignment(s).

For Stakeholders with a Subscription in force on the date of the cancellation request, this request does not entail the reimbursement of the period remaining until the Subscription expires.

Article 16.           Validity

 

If any of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions are invalid under a rule of law or a law in force or following a final decision of a competent court, such provision shall be deemed unwritten, but shall not entail the invalidity of the said General Terms and Conditions.

 

Article 17.           Applicable law - Jurisdiction - Alternative dispute resolution

 

These General Terms and Conditions are governed by French law.

In the event of a disagreement between Marypop and the User, and when this disagreement could not be settled as part of a prior written complaint directly to Marypop legal department via the address legal@marypop.com, the User may use a consumer mediator free of charge in order to resolve the dispute between him and Marypop. The User may also refer the matter to the European Ombudsman, whose contact details and referral procedures are available on and http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

Any disagreement or dispute that is not settled amicably shall be settled either under the Code of Civil Procedure, the court of the place where the defendant resides or the place where the Mission is carried out, or under the Consumer Code, the court of the place where the Claimant resided at the time the contract was concluded, unless rules of public policy confer jurisdiction on other courts.
