The following terms are used in these terms and conditions: Contractual partner: Any natural person who has concluded a mandate agreement or a suuber.ch platform agreement with PersonalApp AG. User: Any natural person who uses the suuber.ch platform of PersonalApp AG. Employer: Any natural person who has concluded a mandate agreement with PersonalApp AG. Employee: Any natural person who has concluded a suuber.ch platform contract with PersonalApp AG. Website/platform: "suuber.ch platform" or "suuber.ch"

2. Scope

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contractual relationships that PersonalApp AG, based in Zurich, binds to its contractual partners and to any use of the suuber.ch Internet platform.

3. Contractual reservations

The services provided by PersonalApp AG are only those that are expressly provided for in the contracts agreed and signed by PersonalApp AG.

4. Obligation to process via PersonalApp AG

If an employment relationship between employee and employer is established via the suuber.ch platform, the employment must be carried out via PersonalApp AG. It is prohibited to settle the mediated employment outside the suuber.ch platform. In the event of an offence, compensation of CHF 500 will be payable by the employer.

5. Beginning and end of the contractual relationships

The contracts that PersonalApp AG concludes with its contractual partners determine their duration. The termination must be communicated to the other party in writing. The corresponding legal effects only take effect at the time of receipt. The contractual partners are made aware that the end of the contractual relationship entails the end of the insurance cover. Employers must therefore take the necessary steps to insure their employees against accidents and to provide them with all other insurance coverage that is incumbent on the employer, especially in the area of occupational pensions.

6. Access to the Internet offering

PersonalApp AG manages its internet platform freely and reserves the right to reject potential contractual partners without giving reasons. Certain services on the platform only become accessible once the contract is concluded or registration is made. The website is generally accessible daily and 24 hours a day. However, PersonalApp AG assumes no liability for temporary interruptions or the blocking of accounts whose use appears to be inappropriate, illegal or immoral. In the event of a violation of the General Terms and Conditions, PersonalApp AG can block the user’s access to the information and services offered on the website at any time without prior notice. In the event of damage resulting from the customer’s violation of these terms and conditions, PersonalApp AG reserves the right to assert claims for damages, plus a cease and desist from improper use.

7. Relationship between employer and working cleaner

The customer who registers as an employer at suuber.ch is responsible for selecting the desired cleaner. Agreements on the content of the employment contract (salary, time, location, etc.) are made exclusively between the employee and the employer. The employee is provided with an app with a geotracking function from PersonalApp AG, which can be used to carry out and check time accounting. The main purpose of the app with geotracking is to monitor performance (compliance with the working hours agreed with the employer).

8. Contractual obligations towards PersonalApp AG

The contract concluded between PersonalApp AG and its contractual partners determines the respective obligations of the parties. The mandate agreement authorises PersonalApp AG to represent the contractual partner vis-à-vis affected third parties. As part of the conclusion of the contract, the employer may additionally authorise PersonalApp AG by means of a power of attorney to carry out actions provided for in the contract. The employer and the employee undertake to settle the entire employment relationship via the suuber.ch platform.

In the event of a breach of the above-mentioned obligations, PersonalApp AG reserves the right to charge the guilty party separately for the extra work caused at CHF -120 (excl. VAT) per hour or to claim compensation.

9. Financial Obligations

After conclusion of the contract, PersonalApp AG creates a personal account for the contractual partner into which the contractual partner makes advance payments in order to enable PersonalApp AG to carry out its services. The amount to be paid by the contractual partner can be accessed in the private customer area of the PersonalApp AG website. The employing contractual partner is responsible for making the payments due on time. Reminder costs from third parties in the event of a delay are borne by the employer contractual partner. The employer must report complaints within three working days – otherwise the order is automatically recognized as completed. Payments to the employees are made monthly, after the work has been confirmed. If an employee remains absent from work without excuse, the right to remuneration expires and this will in turn be credited to the client’s account.
