Introduction

“House Service” App, founded, owned and managed by House Service App LTD in the UK, is a “platform” that connects freelancers who provide household services to households and small businesses that are looking to hire skilled people, also called “service provider” or “freelancer.”

“Service” in this document means the task, chore or job that the service provider or freelancer is offering to perform and complete.

“Hirer” is the individual, household or small business that “orders” a service from the service provider and completes the payment online.

“Payment” is the online transfer of money that the hirer makes to the “House Service” App with the intention to purchase a service. These funds are stored until confirmation that the service has been delivered, after which the funds are then transferred into the service provider’s account.

“We” and “our” refers the team behind “House Service” App and House Service App LTD, UK.

“User” refers to every individual, either a service provider or a hirer who registers on the “House Service” App.
