As an independent contractor, you have full control over how you provide your services, but you are expected to meet the service quality standards set by KLEENUP INC. You are solely responsible for your business expenses, including, but not limited to, equipment, tools, and taxes. As an independent contract, you can select your own jobs and are free to do jobs through other platforms and lead sources, and determine your own work schedule.

    Cleaners understand and agree that using the Application does not guarantee that anyone will engage them for services. Consumers understand that any clearing services they solicit and/or pay for using the Application are solicited directly from the Cleaners providing such services.

  1. Background Checks: KLEENUP INC requires all Cleaners to undergo background checks at registration and every six (6) months to ensure compliance with platform safety standards. By registering, Cleaners authorize KLEENUP INC and its third-party vendors to obtain background reports, including criminal convictions and sex offender status, and consent to the collection of necessary identifying information such as full name and date of birth.KLEENUP INC reserves the right to limit, suspend, deactivate, or terminate a Cleaner’s account based on background check results, with or without prior notice. If a Cleaner fails a background check or if new information arises that disqualifies them under KLEENUP INC’s standards, immediate action may be taken, including account suspension and cancellation of pending service requests. Disqualified Cleaners may request a review, but reinstatement remains at KLEENUP INC’s sole discretion.

     

    Cleaners must inform KLEENUP INC of any criminal convictions that occur after their initial background check. Failure to disclose such information may result in account suspension or termination. KLEENUP INC assumes no liability for the accuracy of third-party background reports and makes no guarantees regarding their completeness. Continued participation as a Cleaner is contingent upon passing all required screenings.

    All cleaning companies and their authorized representatives (“Cleaning Company”) registering with the Application acknowledge and agree that, while KLEENUP INC makes reasonable efforts to conduct background checks on Cleaning Company owners during the initial registration process, it may not be feasible or possible for KLEENUP INC to conduct background checks on the Cleaning Company’s every single employee, contractor, or agent (“Personnel”). Accordingly, KLEENUP INC does not guarantee that such background checks will be conducted on any Personnel other than the Company owner.

    As a condition of participation on the Application, the Cleaning Company shall be solely responsible for conducting, at its own expense, a comprehensive background check on each member of its Personnel who is dispatched to perform any cleaning service arranged through the Application. Such background checks must be completed prior to assigning any Personnel to a KLEENUP-related project and must be updated at least once every six (6) months thereafter.

    The Cleaning Company represents and warrants that no Personnel will be assigned to any Application-related project unless they have successfully passed the required background check and are legally eligible to provide the services contemplated under applicable law.

    KLEENUP INC reserves the right to request proof of compliance with this section at any time. Failure to comply with these background check requirements may result in suspension or termination of the Cleaning Company’s access to the Application, at KLEENUP INC’s sole discretion.

    Consumers who use the Application to book cleaning services acknowledge and agree that KLEENUP INC is a technology platform that connects Consumers with independent Cleaning Companies and does not employ, supervise, or control the individual cleaners (“Personnel”) dispatched by such Cleaning Companies. Consumers further acknowledge that, although KLEENUP INC makes reasonable efforts to verify the identity and conduct a background check on the Cleaning Company owners at the time of registration, KLEENUP INC may not be able to conduct background checks on every individual cleaner or Personnel employed or contracted by the Cleaning Company.

    Accordingly, Consumers agree that KLEENUP INC shall not be liable for any acts or omissions, including but not limited to, any misconduct, negligence, or criminal activity of any Personnel performing services through the Application. All claims, complaints, disputes, or demands relating to the conduct, performance, or qualifications of any cleaner or service provided must be directed solely to the Cleaning Company that accepted the booking and performed the cleaning services. The Cleaning Company, as the contracting party, assumes full responsibility for the actions and conduct of its Personnel.

    By using the Application, Consumers expressly release KLEENUP INC from any and all liability arising out of or relating to the services provided by the Cleaning Company and its Personnel, and agree to hold KLEENUP INC harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law.

D. Service Fees and Commission Structure

1. Service Fees: KLEENUP INC charges a 10% commission fee on the total amount received by Cleaners for services completed through the Application (the “Commission Rate”). This commission is deducted automatically from the payment before it is transferred to the Cleaner. The commission fee compensates KLEENUP INC for facilitating connections between Cleaners and Consumers, providing payment processing, and maintaining the platform.

2. Commission Rate Change: KLEENUP INC reserves the right to modify the Commission Rate at its sole discretion, with prior notice to Cleaners. Any changes to the commission structure will become effective following reasonable notice, allowing Cleaners the opportunity to review and accept the revised terms. Cleaners retain the right to discontinue their use of the Application and may choose to deactivate their accounts at any time if they do not agree to changes in the commission rate. Continued use of the Application after the effective date of any commission rate adjustment shall constitute acceptance of the modified terms.

E. Service Requests, Acceptances, Cancellations and Refunds

1. Obligations of Cleaners. Cleaners agree to provide cleaning services in a professional, safe, and timely manner. Cleaners are responsible for bringing all necessary equipment and supplies unless the Consumer explicitly provides them. Cleaners further agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including health and safety standards relevant to cleaning services.

Cleaners shall respect the privacy and property of Consumers at all times, and they shall not disclose or misuse any confidential or personal information encountered during the provision of services.

KLEENUP INC does not guarantee continuous or uninterrupted access to the Application. The company reserves the right to modify or discontinue the services at any time without notice.

 

2. Acceptances, Cancellations and Refunds. When a Consumer submits a service request through the Application, the Cleaner may either accept or decline the request. Once a request is accepted, the Cleaner is contractually obligated to provide the service at the agreed-upon time and location. Failure to fulfill the service commitment may result in penalties, including monetary fines, account suspension, or termination.

 

If a service must be canceled after acceptance, the Cleaner is required to notify the Consumer and KLEENUP INC through the Application at least 24 hours in advance. Repeated cancellations or failure to provide services as agreed may result in penalties, including but not limited to suspension or removal from the Application.

 

Users may cancel or reschedule bookings up to 24 hours before the scheduled time without penalty. If a User cancels a service less than 24 hours before the scheduled time, KLEENUP  INC reserves the right to impose penalties, including temporary suspension of the User’s account. If a cleaning service is not satisfactorily completed, Consumers may submit a complaint within 24 hours of service completion. KLEENUP INC will review the complaint and may, at its discretion, issue a partial or full refund. If the Cleaner cancels the service, the Consumer will be offered a full refund or the option to reschedule.

 

3. Service Quality and Consumer Ratings. KLEENUP INC is committed to maintaining the highest standards of service quality on the Application. To achieve this, KLEENUP INC employs a consumer rating and feedback system to monitor the performance of Cleaners. After the completion of each service, consumers will be invited to rate Cleaner’s performance and provide feedback. These ratings and reviews are critical for assessing Cleaner’s adherence to KLEENUP INC’s quality expectations.

 

Cleaners are required to maintain a minimum average rating as determined by KLEENUP INC, which may be updated from time to time at the company’s sole discretion. Falling below the minimum rating threshold, receiving repeated consumer complaints, or failing to meet service commitments, including frequent cancellations or no-shows, may result in warnings, suspension, or permanent termination of your access to the Application.

 

By using the Application, Cleaners agree to provide timely, professional, and courteous service, including adhering to any specific consumer requests or preferences communicated through the Application. Cleaners also agree to promptly address any issues or concerns raised by consumers or KLEENUP INC to resolve complaints effectively.

 

KLEENUP INC reserves the right to investigate complaints, review consumer feedback, and take appropriate corrective action to maintain service quality. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, issuing warnings, requiring additional training, imposing temporary suspensions, permanently terminating accounts, or withholding funds from a Cleaner’s escrow or payment account to issue refunds to Consumers in cases of service disputes, unsatisfactory performance, or violations of these Terms. In the event that a Consumer submits a valid complaint regarding substandard cleaning services or failure to perform services as agreed, KLEENUP INC may, at its sole discretion, deduct the necessary amount from the Cleaner’s account to compensate the affected Consumer. Cleaners acknowledge and agree that KLEENUP INC has the authority to determine the validity of such complaints and to process refunds accordingly.

 

Cleaners whose accounts are suspended or terminated due to repeated consumer complaints, failure to adhere to service standards, or violations of these Terms may not reapply for access to the Application without prior written approval from KLEENUP INC. Additionally, KLEENUP INC reserves the right to take legal or financial action against any Cleaner who engages in fraudulent activity, breaches contractual obligations, or attempts to circumvent the platform’s policies regarding payments and refunds.

 

Maintaining a high standard of service quality is essential to remain active on the Application and to continue receiving service requests through the platform. By accepting these terms, Cleaners acknowledge and agree to uphold these service quality expectations.

F. Payments

The Application facilitates payments between Consumers and Cleaners (“Payments”) through our payment processing partner Stripe, but KLEENUP INC is not a party to any such Payments. Unless otherwise indicated, Payments may be made for services only. Payments for tangible personal property are prohibited.

 

 

As a User of the Application, you hereby appoint KLEENUP INC to act as your agent for the limited purpose of facilitating and receiving Payments on your behalf through Stripe as contemplated herein. You acknowledge and agree that, subject to any rights you have pertaining to payment disputes, once a payment has been made through Application, the payment obligation of the payor User shall be deemed satisfied by the payee User upon receipt of the payment by KLEENUP INC as though the payor User had made the payment directly to the payee User.

 

 

KLEENUP INC does not offer any professional services directly or indirectly unless specified in a separate contract to which KLEENUP INC is a direct party. Any time a Consumer pays for or books services on the Application or receives a quote in connection with services, such Consumer is contracting directly with the Cleaner offering such cleaning services. Notwithstanding any facilitation of booking or payment, you understand and agree that KLEENUP INC (i) does not sell, offer, provide or subcontract any cleaning services and (ii) is not liable in any way for any cleaning services, except to the extent expressly set forth in the Terms. Notwithstanding KLEENUP INC’s role as a payment facilitator, each Cleaner who receives payments understands and agrees that they are obligated to perform the service as outlined in their agreement with the Consumer and work to remedy any material deviations from such contract.

 

Cleaners should note that they will need a social security number or employer identification number in order to receive payments. As a condition of receiving payments, you agree to provide KLEENUP INC with accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize KLEENUP INC to share this information and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

 

Cleaners also agree that KLEENUP INC may debit their Stripe account in connection with disputes with Consumers. KLEENUP INC reserves the right to process such debits and to withhold final payments until KLEENUP INC has investigated disputes. KLEENUP INC may make a final decision on disputes in their sole discretion and, as a Service Professional, you understand that all payments you may earn on the Application are subject to such decisions. Additionally, Cleaners agree that KLEENUP INC may reverse payments that have been made to the Cleaner when a consumer refund or guarantee payout is warranted.

 

KLEENUP INC implements measures to secure all payment methods and personal financial information but expressly disclaims any liability for any damages resulting from the disclosure of personal financial information to unintended recipients. Users agree to hold KLEENUP INC harmless from any such damages.

 

KLEENUP INC may enable payments using credit, debit, or prepaid cards, by linking a bank account, or through any other supported payment method. The right to cancel or restrict the use of one or more authorized payment methods is reserved at the sole and absolute discretion of KLEENUP INC.

 

 

All requests for payment chargebacks, errors, claims, refunds, and disputes (“Payment Disputes”) will be reviewed by KLEENUP INC in accordance with the rules applicable to the payment method used for the transaction and will be resolved at KLEENUP INC’s absolute discretion. KLEENUP INC is not liable under any circumstances for Payment Disputes that cannot be resolved in favor of the requesting party. Valid written Payment Dispute requests are typically processed within 30 days of receipt, unless a shorter period is required by law. Payment Disputes may be submitted by emailing KLEENUP INC support at info@kleenup.com

 

 

If any actions result in or are likely to result in a Payment Dispute, a violation of the Terms, or if KLEENUP INC determines that an Account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, KLEENUP INC may permanently withhold any amounts owed at its sole discretion. In the event of a past due balance or any additional amounts determined to be owed, KLEENUP INC may, without limiting any other rights or remedies: (a) charge one or more authorized payment methods, (b) offset any outstanding amounts against amounts that may be owed, (c) issue an invoice for the outstanding balance, which will be due upon receipt, (d) reverse or block any credits to a linked bank account, or (e) collect payment by any other lawful means.

 

If the Consumer fails to make payments owed when due, or if KLEENUP INC is unable to charge one of the Consumer’s payment methods for any reason, KLEENUP INC reserves all rights permissible under law to recover payment, including all costs and expenses incurred, such as reasonable attorneys’ fees and related costs. The Consumer explicitly agrees that all communication regarding delinquent accounts or overdue payments will be made by electronic mail or phone. Such communication may be conducted by KLEENUP INC or by any authorized party acting on its behalf, including but not limited to a third-party collections agent.

 

 

KLEENUP INC may, from time to time, place a hold on any of Consumer’s payment methods in order to prevent failed payments or in order to reverse your booking.
