User Representations
By using the Näpp service, you stand for and warrant that:

1. All registration information you submit will be true, accurate, current, and complete.
2. You will keep the accuracy of such information and promptly update such registration information as necessary, including your scheduled availability.
3. You have the legal ability, and you agree to follow these Terms and Conditions.
4. Not a minor in the district in which you live.
5. You will not access any Näpp service through automated or non-human means, whether through a bot, script, or otherwise.
6. You will not use Näpp for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. Näpp cannot be held responsible for any illegal activity such as abuse, which takes place during the babysitting process – however we do our best to ensure the members of our community exist in a safe environment.
7. Your use of the Näpp website will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

If you supply any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse all current or future use of Näpp (or any portion thereof).

User Registration
You agree to keep your password confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account and password. We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or change a username you select if we decide, in our sole discretion, that such username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.

Babysitters – Regardless of your years of experience, it is necessary to register as a babysitter on our platform. You agree to maintain and update the information on your profile and respond to messages from parents as soon as possible and certainly within 24 hours. Registration is free of charge, and once Näpp receives your application, a one-to-one video or in person meeting will be planned. You are expected to not release any unsolicited sensitive information about yourself onto our platform, as it is a public profile you are creating. You will enter your full address in your application, but only the first four digits of your postcode and the city will appear, providing the families a general area or neighbourhood indication, but not an exact location. All accepted Näppsitters undergo a one-to-one interview, where your experience, motivation and qualifications as a babysitter will be discussed and evaluated and you will be on-boarded by one of the Näpp Co-Founders. Once you are accepted onto the Näpp platform, you will have a period of 6 months to hold a valid Paediatric First Aid Certificate. It is your responsibility to register and attend an accepted course and details on the validity of the course will be discussed with you. You should be first aid trained within no more than 6 months from the publication date of your profile and maintain a valid training certificate for the duration of your Näpp career.

Parents – To access detailed Näppsitter information, as well as contact them, it is necessary to create a parent profile on our platform. Registration for the self-service platform currently costs 20 euros per month; the monthly membership can be cancelled at any time after the first month. The first 30 days are non-refundable.  The personalized matching service, provides regular support with a Näppsitter, with all recruitment and preparation completed by Näpp, saving you time and effort and guaranteeing your family consistency for at least six months with the same Näppsitter.  For possible last-minute changes or illness, a backup babysitter from Näpp will be provided, at no extra administrative costs.  The current all-inclusive cost for the matching service is €475 (incl. btw).

Refunds – Self-Service Platform Membership Fees are not refundable.  They are charged every 30 days and can be canceled at any time after the first month.

The matching fee is refunded if a match is not possible.  Weekly updates will be provided on the progress and in most cases, within three weeks, two Näppsitter profiles will be presented to the family. A one-week trial period will be in place to ensure that both Näppsitter and the family can have a test period past the initial meeting interview.  Once a Näppsitter begins their work with the family if the skills of the Näppsitter are not meeting the family’s expectations, a replacement Näppsitter will be provided at no extra cost should the change occur within the first two months of collaboration.  In this unlikely event, no additional charges will be incurred by the family, and a replacement Näppsitter will be proposed in the shortest delay possible.  After two months of work with the family, if the collaboration ends for any reason, a replacement can be provided but fees may apply, covering additional recruitment costs.  Given the circumstamces are impossible to pre-determine, we will strive to find the best solution to support the family and the Näppsitter.  The recruitment process and onboarding trial period is in place and completed in a thorough and dedicated way, to provide time for securing the match between the Näppsitter and the family.

Our platform has a reviewing feature, in which parents can review the Näppsitters/carers. When posting a review, you must comply with the following criteria:

1. You should have firsthand experience with the person/entity being reviewed.
