MiStaffing may also engage a third party to assist with, or otherwise carry out an independent verification of, your Qualifications.

5.4  By posting your availability on the Platform, you thereby represent that to the best of your knowledge, you are available at the times and dates you have specified. Clients may have you listed as a ‘favourite’ meaning you may already be known and approved by the Client. If you are invited to a Job as a ‘favourite’ you are able to accept that job directly. If the job is sent to the ‘MiStaffing Global Pool’ the Educator will be invited to apply for that Job. The Client may then view your profile and accept or ignore the Job application.

5.5  MiStaffing makes no representation regarding the frequency, quantity or type of invitations to Jobs you will receive or in which you will be chosen to participate.

5.6  Once a Job is confirmed it is your responsibility to ensure that you are able to make yourself available to attend the scheduled Job at the location, time and date agreed with the Client. If you cancel a Job once you have entered into a booking commitment with a Client, clause 9 will apply.

5.7  Only the Educator that is approved by MiStaffing, and no other person, may attend the location during the booked Job period. Failure to adhere to this requirement will result in the suspension and possible termination of the Educator’s account.

5.8  A Job is ‘commenced’ and ‘closed’ when both parties agree via the Platform.

5.9  Educators must act with the utmost professionalism and courtesy in any dealings with Clients (including their children) and with MiStaffing. In performing any Job for a Client, you must:

           (a)  use a high standard of care and skill to be expected of a qualified and experienced child care provider;

           (b)  make all necessary enquiries of the Client to ascertain the Client’s requirements; and

           (c)  comply with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

5.10 Unless permitted in writing by the Client, you will not refer to the Client or any

children in any website, social media or other publication outside of the Platform.

5.11  You agree that you will not provide any false or misleading information or information which may mislead or deceive MiStaffing, Clients or any other party in respect of any Job.

5.13  You understand that a cancellation, late arrival or failure to arrive to a confirmed Job will likely result in negative ratings and feedback being provided by the Client. MiStaffing accepts no responsibility for negative ratings in any circumstances and has no obligation to change any negative ratings that result from cancellations, late-arrivals or no-shows.

5.14  You must always carry a copy of your identification, Working with Children Card and First Aid Certificate (if you have one) to a confirmed Job in the event a Client wishes to sight these documents.

                        (vi)  any other terms of engagement for a Job agreed to between a Client and Educator.

              (b)  MiStaffing excludes all implied representations and warranties which might apply in relation to a User of the Platform. Other than expressly                       provided in these Terms, we make no warranties, express or implied representations or guarantees as to merchantability and/or fitness for any                       purpose and we do not guarantee that our services are error free.

14.4  The Australian Consumer Law sets out certain consumer rights and remedies that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. Nothing in these Terms limits those rights and remedies in any way. If we supply goods or services not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption but costing no more than $40,000 our liability for failure to comply with conditions or guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law is limited in the case of services to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having the services supplied again.

14.5  In no circumstance will MiStaffing be liable for any indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damages, loss of income, profits, goodwill, data, contracts, use of money, or loss or damages arising from or in any way connected to

business interruption of any type, whether in tort (including negligence), contract or otherwise.

14.6 The Platform may provide links to third party sites. Access to any other site linked to the Platform, is at User’s own risk. MiStaffing accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of any information, opinions or statements made in any third party site.
