Article 6 – Partners and External Service Providers

Important: FamZorg is solely an intermediary platform. We are in no way a party to agreements between Users and Partners, and we do not provide any care or support services ourselves.

6.1. Role of FamZorg

FamZorg facilitates contact between Users and independent Partners (such as cleaning companies, meal services, transport services and other service providers). In doing so, FamZorg acts solely as an intermediary and is not a party to the agreement concluded between the User and the Partner.

6.2. Independence of Partners

Partners are independent businesses that offer their services under their own terms, at their own prices and under their own responsibility. Partners are not employees, agents or representatives of FamZorg.

6.3. Responsibility of Partners

Partners are themselves fully responsible for:

  • The quality, performance and delivery of their services
  • Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Holding the required licences, diplomas and certifications
  • Taking out adequate professional indemnity and liability insurance
  • The correct handling of payments and invoicing
  • Handling complaints about their services
  • Compliance with privacy and data protection legislation

6.4. No guarantee by FamZorg

FamZorg gives no guarantees regarding Partners, including but not limited to:

  • The quality, suitability or reliability of their services
  • The accuracy of information that Partners provide on the Platform
  • The availability or continuity of Partner Services
  • The qualifications, references or background of Partners

6.5. Direct relationship

Agreements for Partner Services are concluded directly between the User and the Partner. Complaints, disputes or claims relating to Partner Services must be submitted directly to the Partner concerned.

6.6. Selection and Screening of Partners

FamZorg applies a careful selection process for Partners in order to safeguard the quality of the platform. Before a Partner is admitted, FamZorg carries out the following checks:

  • Verification of active company status and a valid VAT number
  • Verification of company details via the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises
  • Assessment of online presence (website, social media)
  • Examination of reviews and ratings on external platforms
  • Verification of relevant qualifications and certifications, where applicable

Not every partnership application is accepted. FamZorg reserves the right to refuse applications without stating reasons.

6.7. Ongoing Quality Monitoring

Even after acceptance, FamZorg continues to monitor the quality of Partners:

  • Active follow-up of feedback and ratings from Users
  • Periodic evaluation of the services provided
  • The option for Users to share their experiences via the Platform
  • Intervention in the event of repeated complaints or negative feedback

FamZorg may terminate its cooperation with a Partner if the quality of service does not meet the standards of the Platform or in the event of repeated negative feedback from Users.

Our commitment: FamZorg strives to build a network of reliable, high-quality Partners. Despite our careful selection and monitoring, Partners remain independent businesses operating under their own responsibility. We advise Users always to carry out their own research and to verify references.
