V. Services
V.I.
We provide a web application to help match you to suitable Vacancies and we provide any other services described on our site and/or the Web App for Candidates from time to time (the “Services”). For the purposes of the Regulations, we act as an employment agency to the extent that the Services are or continue to be relevant to the Regulations. We will notify you if our status as an employment agency changes. 
V.II. Our matching application referred to above is powered by an algorithm which uses the information provided by:
V.II.I. you when you create and maintain a Candidate profile; and 
V.II.II. information provided to us by Hirers. 

V.III. You must ensure that any information you provide to us is complete and accurate and you will keep us updated on any changes to such information. 
V.IV. We will seek from the Hirer and provide to you where possible the following information about a Vacancy:
V.IV.I company name, trading name and the nature of its business;
V.IV.II the intended start date and intended duration of the work;
V.IV.III the position and type of work the successful Candidate will be required to do;
V.IV.IV. the location at which the successful Candidate will work and the hours of work expected of them;
V.IV.V any relevant health and safety risks and what steps it has taken to prevent or control such risks;
V.IV.VI. the experience, training and qualifications and any authorisation which it considers are necessary, or which are required by law, or by any professional body which the Candidates must possess in order to do the work; 
V.IV.VII. any expenses payable by or to the successful Candidate;
V.IV.VIII. the minimum rate of pay and any other benefits to be offered and the intervals of payment; and
V.IV.IX. the notice period that the successful Candidate must give and receive for the Vacancy to be terminated.

V.V. Where it is considered that you will work with a Vulnerable Person when introduced to a Hirer, we will be required to request additional information from you, including but not limited to:
V.V.I. copies of any of your relevant qualifications or authorisations and we must offer to provide copies of those documents to the Hirer; and
V.V.II. two references from persons who are not your relatives and who have agreed that the reference provided may be disclosed to the Hirer, and we must offer to provide copies of those references to the Hirer,

and we must take all other reasonably practicable steps to confirm that you are suitable for the position concerned.

V.VI. To be clear, we do not give any guarantee and warranty about the integrity or accuracy of the information that Hirers supply to us and in any event we accept no responsibility or liability should any matched Hirers and/or Vacancies be unsuitable for you. Further, where we consider we must do so, we will ask the Hirer to confirm if they are required by law or any professional body to request a criminal records check for any Vacancy. If so, we will confirm that to you. However, for the avoidance of doubt, it is the Hirer’s decision whether it requires such a check and it is its responsibility to make such requests to the relevant body for such checks in accordance with relevant law. We do not make any such requests to any relevant body on our own behalf or on any Hirer’s behalf. 

V.VII. The Services are not exclusive and you are free to use the services of other employment agencies or businesses at any time. 

V.VIII. Should you successfully apply for a Vacancy, it is between you and the Hirer to agree what work is to be done and the relevant contractual terms. We play no part in that process and for the avoidance of doubt we are not responsible for payment to you for any such work whether directly or indirectly. The Hirer is solely responsible for making payment to you, on the terms you agree with the Hirer and for running any related compliance processes, such as under Chapter 10 of Part 2 of Income Tax Earnings and Pensions Act 2003 (also known as the “IR35 reforms”). We are not the fee-payer under the IR35 reforms nor a temporary work agency under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010. We do assist the Candidate and Hirer, however, with Features to help arrange payment from the Hirer to the Candidate by providing access to a third party payment provider, and which is currently Stripe (but you agree we may change provider at our sole discretion) (the “Payment Services Provider”). 

V.IX.The Payment Services Provider ensures that the Candidate receives their fee from the Hirer in a way which is compliant with the Regulations and Nolea never receives or holds any monies belonging to the Candidate. Further information about the payment flows from time to time through our Web App are set out on the Web App as applicable and which information is subject to change. In short for now, for the purposes of initial information on payment flows, it is intended that you will upload time sheets and invoices direct to the Hirer through the applicable Features available, and our Features will enable us to add our commission to your rate and invoice that separately to the Hirer. The Hirer then pays the total due as one payment through the Payment Services Provider facility on our Web App and which total the Payment Services Provider splits and sends the appropriate amount to each of you and Nolea. 

V.XI.
 By using the Services, you agree that any Hirers may contact you about any suitable Vacancies and that you are willing to work in such positions, subject to finalisation of the relevant terms between you and the Hirer. Therefore, you may use any of the Features in accordance with the Terms to deal with Hirers. Once a Hirer cancels a Vacancy on our Web App , you may not be able to use any of the Features in connection with such Vacancy and you hereby agree that we are not responsible in such case if you are then unable to communicate with the relevant Hirer. 

V.XII.Where it is confirmed to us that you have been successful in applying for a Vacancy and we then receive or obtain information within 3 months of the Introduction which indicates that you are or may not be suitable for that Vacancy, we may inform the Hirer of that without delay. We accept no responsibility for any loss that you may suffer should we have to comply with any relevant legal obligations. 

V.XIII.
 If any Vacancy means that you would be provided with accommodation or provided with help with travel costs (such as travel cards, travel expenses or loans), then (i) the Hirer is responsible for providing any such lawful accommodation and/or travel costs assistance and (ii) it must notify to us that it will provide such accommodation and/or travel costs assistance so that we can provide relevant information to you. However, we accept no responsibility or liability where the Hirer fails in its obligations to us. 

V.XIV. If another employment agency or an employment business (as defined in the Regulations) uses the Services we will notify that to you and provide any other information to you if required to satisfy any of our legal obligations.

V.XV. As part of the effective provision of the Services and quality control purposes, you agree to provide Reviews and consent that Hirers will provide Reviews about you to us. You must not knowingly provide false, inaccurate or misleading information in respect of Reviews. Reviews will only be used by us to determine whether you and Hirers are appropriate users of the site. If we determine at our sole discretion that you are not an appropriate user we reserve the right to cancel your registration and remove you from our Web App, subject to clause 9 below.
