Service Activation Fee
The Client will pay a one-off, non-refundable activation fee to Domostaff. The activation fee is always due upon signing or accepting the service agreement. No additional charges are required until the Client approves or hires a Candidate.
Candidate Introduction
Domostaff will introduce potential Candidates (“Candidates”) for employment by the Client. The Client understands and acknowledges that Domostaff is an introduction service only and the decision whether to hire a particular Candidate is solely at the absolute discretion of the Client. The Client further acknowledges and agrees that if the Client hires a Candidate, the employment relationship will be directly and exclusively between the Client and the Candidate, and that Domostaff is not a party to any agreement between the Client and the Candidate. Client acknowledges that Domostaff has no control over the wages, hours or conditions of employment of Candidates. The work schedule, compensation, method, manner and means of employment and all other terms and conditions of employment shall be determined by Client and Candidate. Client further understands and acknowledges that Client is responsible for all wages, benefits, taxes, withholdings, employer-related worker's compensation insurance and all other obligations and requirements under applicable law .
Time Limits for Introduction
If Client does not choose to hire any of the initial Candidates introduced to Client by Domostaff, Domostaff will arrange for additional introductions to meet Client's needs as permitted by the
current market. Domostaff is obligated to introduce Candidates who meet Client's requirements in the quotation. Domostaff's obligation to introduce additional Candidates expires six months after receipt of an accepted service contract. Domostaff will have no further obligations towards the Client under this Introduction Agreement after the expiry of this six-month period if the Client has not shown any interest in all the candidates proposed in the six months.
The test
Following an assignment by the Client, Domostaff will present selected service personnel based on the parameters indicated by the Client.
The Client may carry out tests of the proposed personnel for a maximum of 8 days.
The client, if the candidate is of interest to him and there are no time conditions, can decide not to carry out tests and to confirm - approve or even directly hire the candidate.
Following the test, whether this has been carried out or not, the client is required to inform Domostaff of the outcome of the same:
1. if the test of a maximum duration of 8 days has ended with a positive outcome, or in any case the candidate is to his liking, he approves the proposed candidate and Domostaff will be entitled to the service balance
2. if the test of a maximum duration of 8 days has had a negative outcome, therefore the client dismisses the proposed personnel, Domostaff will proceed to present additional candidates
3. if the client, following a test of a maximum duration of 8 days, retains in service the personnel proposed by Domostaff, the test will always be considered as having been successful and the personnel approved, consequently Domostaff will be entitled to the balance.
4. if the client approves the candidate, even without having carried out a test, Domostaff will
always be entitled to the balance.
5. if the client approves the candidate, but decides to hire him at a later date, this is still considered approved and therefore Domostaff is fully entitled to the service balance.
Service balance commission
If a Client chooses to approve a candidate, after having met him or even hired a Candidate, the Client undertakes to
confirm this immediately in writing and forward the payment of the service balance commission to Domostaff. Service balance commissions may vary, those are appropriate to the service provided. The service balance commission is always indicated in the offer that the client has received from Domostaff.
The service balance is always due when a client has approved a candidate, whether he intends to proceed with his hiring or not, or whether he has hired him with deferred contractual effects.
Replacement guarantee
Domostaff provides a 90 calendar day guarantee in relation to a Candidate placed under this Agreement if: i) the Original Candidate is hired for a full-time position requiring twenty or more hours of work per week, and ii) the Replacement Candidate position is a full-time position requiring twenty or more hours of work per week. No replacement guarantee is offered when the Original Candidate is hired for a position offering less than twenty hours of work per week. In the event that the Original Candidate employed by Client must be replaced during the first night calendar days of employment with Client, regardless of the reason for the replacement, Domostaff will, until the expiration of the Replacement Period, submit additional Candidates to Client to replace the Original Candidate hired by Client. There will be no obligation to submit additional Candidates at the expiration of the Replacement Period.

Domostaff will honor its Replacement Guarantee only if it receives a signed Start Date Placement Agreement and full payment of the Placement Fee. The request for a Replacement Candidate must be made in writing to Domostaff and received by Domostaff within the 90-day Guarantee Period. In the event of a replacement request, Domostaff may agree, in its sole discretion, to honor a timely replacement request that allows the original Candidate to remain employed while a replacement Candidate is sought. If the original Candidate remains employed, Client agrees to respond to any proposed Replacement Candidate submissions no later than seven (7) calendar days after Domostaff forwards the Replacement Candidate information to Client. Failure to respond within seven (7) calendar days will void the Replacement Guarantee. Domostaff may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate its obligation to find a replacement Candidate by: (i) notifying Client via email of its intent to terminate; and (ii) refunding Client any placement fees for the Candidate/Employee for whom a replacement Candidate is requested. The Replacement Guarantee will be void if Client (1) fails to pay all fees and charges to Domostaff in a timely manner; or (2) has materially changed the job duties or job description of the Candidates/Employees, or (3) has engaged in acts of harassment, abuse or moral turpitude; or (4) has failed to comply with any laws, regulations or rules relating to employment if the Candidate.
