As a Talent, you can write a Review about a Client if you have had an experience with that Client through the Platform, which means that (1) you have been engaged by the Client through the Platform; or (2) you can otherwise document your interaction with the Client in relation to the Platform, including via correspondence (collectively referred to as a Client Experience). You may not write a review about a Client you or a family member has a financial interest in (other than an Engagement through our Platform), if you are an executive or employee of that Client, or if you (or a family member) are a direct competitor to the Client or have a financial interest in a direct competitor to the Client.  You may only write about your own Client Experience or Talent Experience. You are not permitted to write a Review about somebody else’s Client Experience or Talent Experience, such as that of a family member or friend.

You are encouraged to be specific and factual in your Reviews. If must not have been offered an incentive by a Talent or Client to write a Review. Incentives include offering you a gift, reward, discount or advantage for writing a Review.

To ensure the accuracy of Reviews, all Client Reviews must be entered into our Platform within 24 hours of a Shift and all Talent Reviews must be  in respect of a Talent Experience that occurred in the 7 days prior to you (a Client) writing a Review.

Reviews are visible on Talent and Client Profiles. If we consider that a Review is untrue, unfair, inaccurate, offensive, inappropriate, false, misleading, or discloses confidential information, we may delete the Review or ban you from posting the Review. We do not undertake to review each Review.

To the maximum extent permitted by Law, we are not responsible for the content of any Reviews and accept no Liability for your reliance on a Review.

Reliability Rating

As part of the Review process, the Platform will generate a Reliability Rating for both Clients and Talent which is determined based on cancellation of Engagements within 48 hours of Shift start time.

A minimum number of Shifts must have been completed for a Reliability Rate to be generated and only the 50 most recent Shifts are included in the score.  Reliability Ratings are visible on Talent and Client Profiles. Reliability Ratings are generated through algorithms available on our Platform and we do not undertake to review each Reliability Rating.

To the maximum extent permitted by Law, we are not responsible for the generation of a Reliability Rating and accept no Liability for any detriment incurred by you based on a Reliability Rating or your reliance on a Reliability Rating.

Match Score

As part of the Review process, the Platform will generate a Match Score for Talent to give an indication of a Talent’s match for a particular Request For Services.

Match Scores are visible by both the Talent and Client, and rely on the information provided in the Talent Profile and Preferred Client Criteria, as well as Shift history data, Reviews and Reliability Rating. Match Scores are generated through algorithms available on our Platform and we do not undertake to review each Match Score.

The Match Score is indicative only and suitability for a role should be clarified in the Profile information.

To the maximum extent permitted by Law, we are not responsible for the generation of a Match Score and accept no Liability for any detriment incurred by you based on a Match Score or your reliance on a Match Score.

14.   Disputes

After an Engagement has commenced, subject to these Terms and any law relevant to the Engagement, a dispute relating to the Engagement is strictly a matter between the relevant Client and Talent.

We encourage Parties to attempt to resolve disputes with each other directly and in good faith, either on the Platform or through external communication methods.

In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved through these means, a Party may choose to resolve the dispute in any manner agreed between the Parties or otherwise in accordance with applicable laws.

We reserve the right to assist in the determination of any dispute at the request of either Party. A Party may request that we provide dispute services to assist in the determination of any dispute in which case both parties must provide any evidence or documentation we reasonably request and any determination we make, is at our discretion.

If the Parties are not happy with our determination, either Party may choose to resolve the dispute in any manner agreed between the Parties or otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. We will have no Liability to a Client or Talent in respect of any assistance we provide to assist in dispute resolution.

15.   Cancellation Policy for Engagements

This clause is subject to any Law relevant to the Engagement and the Casual Engagement Agreement (Casual Model) or Payroll Engagement Agreement (Payroll Model).

Subject to these Terms, a Talent will not receive a payment from either us (Payroll Model) or a Client (Casual Model) for a cancelled Shift or Deemed Cancellation and we will not charge a Client the Service Fee or Price for a Cancellation or Deemed Cancellation.

Client cancellation

A Client may cancel an Engagement before the commencement of the Engagement by using the cancellation functionality on the Platform.  Under the Casual Model, you (a Client) must:

(a)      comply with the terms relating to cancellation in the Casual Engagement Agreement applicable to the Talent; and

(b)      pay us the Cancellation Fee to cover our costs if you cancel an Engagement less than 2 hours before the commencement of the Engagement.

Under the Payroll Model, if you (a Client) cancel a Payroll Engagement less than 2 hours before the commencement of the Payroll Engagement:

(c)       we will pay the Talent for the first 2 hours of the Talent’s Shift in accordance with the terms of the Payroll Engagement Agreement;

you must pay us the Price for the first 2 hours of the Talent’s Shift in accordance with the Client Payroll Agreement terms. If you (a Client), need to cancel a Shift for any reason whatsoever you must advise us via the Platform as soon as possible. Once we receive notice, the Platform will be updated and automatically notify the Talent as soon as reasonably possible.

Cancellation may affect a Client’s Reliability Rating.

Talent cancellation

Under the Casual Model, you (a Talent) must comply with the terms relating to cancellation in the Casual Engagement Agreement applicable to the Talent and Client.

If you (a Talent), need to cancel a Shift for any reason whatsoever you must advise us via the Platform as soon as possible. Once we receive notice, the Platform will be updated and automatically notify the Client as soon as reasonably possible.

Deemed Cancellation

After an Engagement has commenced (or ought to have commenced), there may be circumstances when you (a Talent or a Client) are unable to perform the Healthcare Services under the Engagement or receive Healthcare Services (Deemed Cancellation) including the following situations:

(a)      no show by a Talent at an agreed Shift for any reason whatsoever;

(b)      inability of a Talent to perform a Shift for any reason whatsoever including illness, injury or personal circumstances;

(c)       attempted cancellation by either a Client or Talent; and

(d)      where one party makes reasonable attempts to contact the other party in order to fulfil their obligations under the Payroll Engagement and those attempts are unsuccessful or unanswered.

In the circumstances of a Deemed Cancellation, we will give you (a Client or Talent as appropriate) as much notice as much notice as reasonably possible based on notification to us by the relevant cancelling party.

For the avoidance of doubt, the payment obligations in this clause 15 also apply to you (a Client) in the case of a Deemed Cancellation where you (a Client) are responsible for the inability of the Talent to perform the Shift services

No Liability

You agree that we will have no obligation to a Party in respect of a Cancellation or Deemed Cancellation subject to our obligation under the Client Payroll Agreement to pay the Talent for the first 2 hours of the Talent’s Shift in accordance with the terms of the Payroll Engagement Agreement and we exclude all other Liability.
