3. Nature of the Fixaro Platform
Fixaro operates as an online marketplace connecting Customers with independent Professionals.
Fixaro does not ordinarily perform, supervise, manage, or guarantee the services advertised by Professionals.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Fixaro is not a party to agreements entered into between Customers and Professionals.
Professionals are independent third parties and are not employees, agents, representatives, partners, or subcontractors of Fixaro.
Fixaro does not guarantee that any Professional will receive a particular number of leads, bookings, customers, or earnings.
Similarly, Fixaro does not guarantee that any Customer will receive a particular quotation, response, or completed service.
Any agreement concerning the scope, price, scheduling, delivery, cancellation, or completion of a service is generally made directly between the Customer and the Professional.
Nothing in these Terms excludes any responsibility that Fixaro cannot lawfully exclude.
4. Eligibility and Account Registration
Users must be at least 18 years old or otherwise have the legal capacity required to enter into binding agreements.
Users registering on behalf of a business represent that they have the authority to act on behalf of that business.
When creating an account, Users agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information.
Users must update their account details when relevant information changes.
Each User is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and for activities conducted through their account, except where responsibility arises from Fixaro's own acts or omissions.
Users must notify Fixaro promptly if they suspect unauthorized access.
Fixaro may request additional information to verify account ownership, identity, or business eligibility.
We reserve the right to reject registrations or restrict accounts where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or enforcement of these Terms.
5. Professional Registration and Verification
Professionals may register as individuals or businesses, subject to the registration options available on the Platform.
Business accounts may be required to provide company registration details, identification documents, proof of address, and other supporting information.
Certain professional categories may require evidence of qualifications, certifications, permits, licenses, or insurance.
Professionals are responsible for ensuring that they hold all authorizations legally required to provide their advertised services.
Fixaro may review submitted documentation and approve, reject, or request further information.
Verification badges indicate that specified checks have been performed. They do not constitute a guarantee of professional competence, service quality, financial standing, insurance coverage, or future conduct.
Verification may be suspended or withdrawn if information becomes inaccurate, expires, or raises legitimate compliance concerns.
Professionals must not misrepresent their qualifications, experience, certifications, or verification status.
6. Professional Profiles and Service Listings
Professionals are responsible for the accuracy and legality of their profiles and listings.
All advertised services must be described truthfully and must comply with applicable laws and regulations.
Professionals must ensure that pricing information, availability, service descriptions, photographs, and other relevant details are not misleading.
Where a price is displayed, Professionals must clearly identify whether it represents a fixed price, an hourly rate, a starting price, an estimate, or a package price.
Any additional charges must be communicated to Customers before they agree to proceed.
Professionals must not advertise services they are not legally authorized or reasonably capable of delivering.
Fixaro may remove, modify the visibility of, or restrict listings that violate these Terms or applicable law.
Professionals remain responsible for their own advertising, tax obligations, business practices, and regulatory compliance.
7. Customer Requests and Booking Procedures
Customers may submit Service Requests or Booking Requests through the Platform.
Customers must provide accurate information about the services they require, including relevant location, timing, and scope.
Submitting a request does not automatically create a binding service agreement.
A service arrangement is formed according to the terms agreed directly between the Customer and the Professional.
Professionals may accept, reject, or respond to requests in accordance with the functionality available on Fixaro.
Where a booking request opens a private conversation, the parties are responsible for confirming the applicable service details.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, displayed availability does not guarantee that a Professional will accept a particular booking.
Customers should independently confirm any important details before work begins.
8. Quotations, Offers, and Lead Credits
Professionals may submit quotations or offers in response to relevant Service Requests.
A quotation may contain a fixed price, estimated price, price range, service description, or other proposed conditions.
The Customer may review and compare quotations before selecting a Professional.
Fixaro does not guarantee that submitting a quotation will result in its acceptance.
Eligible new Professional accounts may receive five complimentary Lead Credits, subject to the offer and conditions displayed at registration.
A Lead Credit represents access to a specified Platform feature and does not guarantee a customer, confirmed booking, completed job, or payment.
Where the Platform indicates that submitting an offer consumes one Lead Credit, the credit may be deducted upon successful submission, regardless of whether the Customer accepts the offer.
Any applicable rules concerning credit expiration, restoration, transferability, or refunds will be disclosed through the Platform.
Fixaro may introduce reasonable measures to prevent fraudulent requests, artificial lead generation, or abuse of the quotation system.
9. Professional Subscription Plans
Fixaro may offer paid subscriptions providing access to additional professional features.
Subscription plans, prices, billing intervals, included benefits, and usage limitations are displayed during the subscription process.
By purchasing a subscription, the Professional authorizes the applicable payment provider to charge the agreed subscription fees.
Subscriptions may renew automatically where this is clearly disclosed and expressly agreed during purchase.
Professionals may cancel recurring subscriptions through the available account controls or by contacting Fixaro.
Unless a different period is expressly disclosed, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period.
Any statutory cancellation or refund rights remain unaffected.
Fixaro may modify subscription prices or benefits, provided that Users receive any advance notice required by applicable law.
Material changes to recurring subscription fees will not be imposed without the notice and consent required by law.
Subscription access may be restricted following failed payments, chargebacks, fraudulent activity, or serious violations of these Terms.
10. Payments Between Customers and Professionals
Unless Fixaro expressly introduces an integrated payment service, payments for professional services are arranged directly between Customers and Professionals.
Fixaro does not ordinarily collect, hold, or distribute payments for services performed by Professionals.
Professionals are responsible for issuing legally required invoices and receipts.
Professionals are also responsible for applicable taxes, VAT obligations, social insurance contributions, and other statutory payments.
Customers and Professionals must agree on payment methods, payment schedules, deposits, and other financial conditions before proceeding.
Fixaro is not responsible for unpaid invoices, disputed deposits, or payment disagreements between Users, except to the extent that applicable law imposes responsibility on Fixaro.
11. Cancellations, Refunds, and Service Disputes
Customers and Professionals are responsible for agreeing on cancellation and rescheduling conditions.
Professionals must clearly disclose any cancellation fees or non-refundable deposits before the Customer agrees to them.
Disputes concerning workmanship, delays, service quality, or direct payments should initially be addressed between the relevant Customer and Professional.
Fixaro may provide communication tools or reasonable assistance to help Users resolve disputes.
However, Fixaro does not guarantee mediation, compensation, refunds, or a particular dispute outcome.
Nothing in these Terms limits a Customer's mandatory rights under applicable consumer protection legislation.
Refund requests relating to Fixaro subscription charges will be assessed according to the applicable subscription conditions and mandatory legal rights.
