  1. Definitions In the hereby supplementary general terms and conditions (the “SGTCs”), the following terms will be used: “BATSOFT SA”: BATSOFT SA, a Swiss company with its registered company headquarters at Lausanne, or any other company specified in the relevant contractual documentation, who is the supplier of Services under the Contract. “Private Employer”: any person having entered into a trust mandate with BATSOFT SA via the Batsoft platform named batsoft.ch, owned by BATSOFT SA (the “Platform”), as employer. “User”: all physical people using the Platform. “Employee”: any person who has entered into a placement mandate with BATSOFT SA via the Batsoft platform. “Internet site/ Internet platform/Website”: the Batsoft platform (batsoft.ch) “Trust Mandate”: the trust mandate between BATSOFT SA and the Private Employer relating to services in relation to the working relationship between the Private Employer and the Employee, consisting of in particular the management of the declaration and insurance of the Employee on behalf of the Private Employer. “Services”: All services covered by the Trust Mandate “Employment Contract”: the employment agreement entered into between the Private Employer and the Employee via the Batsoft platform.

  2. Applicable areas The SGTCs govern the conclusion and performance by BATSOFT SA under its contractual relationship with any contractual partner, and particularly applying to any use of the internet platform of BATSOFT SA. These SGTCs are binding for the entire present and future business relationship between BATSOFT SA and any contractual partner for the entire present and future business relationship between the parties and apply to all offers issued by BATSOFT SA, even if these SGTCs are not expressly incorporated by reference. With acceptance of such an offer, the Private Employer assents to these SGTCs.

  3. Contractual limitations The services supplied by BATSOFT SA are only those explicitly mentioned in the contracts agreed and signed by BATSOFT SA. An offer issued by BATSOFT SA is deemed binding and shall constitute a contract between the Private Employer and BATSOFT SA only if it is accepted by the Private Employer within the time specified in the offer, unless BATSOFT SA decides to consider the acceptance of the Private Employer valid even if expressed after such time.

  4. Term, Termination and Consequences of Termination of the Trust Mandate Unless sooner terminated pursuant to these SGTCs, the Trust Mandate shall continue for the period specified in the Trust Mandate. The termination of the Trust Mandate must be written and will come into force upon receival of such termination notice by BATSOFT SA. The Private Employer must be aware that the termination of the Trust Mandate with BATSOFT SA also automatically terminates the insurance coverage of the Private Employer. It is therefore incumbent on the Private Employer to take the necessary steps to insure and declare their employees regarding all insurances incumbent to an employer, in particular with regard to occupational pension provision.

  5. Term, Termination and Consequences of Termination of the Employment Contract The Employment Contract between the cleaning agent and the Private Employer can be terminated in writing or email within the statutory time limits based on the duration of the employment relationship between the Private Employer and Employee:

0-3 months: 7 days

4-12 months: 1 month delay (starting from the 1st of the month following the month of the announcement of the end of the employment relationship)

1-9 years: 2 months delay (starting from the 1st of the month following the month of the announcement of the end of the employment relationship)

10 years and more: 3 months delay (starting from the 1st of the month following the month of the announcement of the end of the employment relationship)

Price invoiced online - Employee's net salary - social security contributions set aside for the payment of Private Employer and Employee social security charges- LAA insurance & Loss of earnings insurance (sickness) - bank transaction costs - VAT

The value of the commission varies between a minimum of CHF 0.00 per hour and a maximum of CHF 10.00 per hour. The exact value of the commission is clearly indicated when the Private Employer uses the Batsoft platform and may depend in particular on the canton where the cleaning services are performed or on potential promotional offers, which are themselves subject to certain conditions. The calculation of the commission shall be stated in detail on the invoices received by the Customer after each performed cleaning. By accepting these SGTCs, the Private Employer acknowledges that it owes the amount of the commission due to BATSOFT SA pursuant to its use of the platform and according to the hours reserved with the Employee.

  1. Guarantees and liability limitations BATSOFT SA will fulfill its duty to pay all related social contributions as defined contractually on the basis of the actual worked hours indicated by the Private Employer, in the event that the Private Employer has mandated Batsoft SA to manage such services in the name and on behalf of the Private Employer. BATSOFT SA shall be allowed to retain from paying the salaries and social security contributions in the event that the Private Employer has not properly registered the Employee in the online platform developed by BATSOFT SA or when the client’s account is not sufficiently funded in cash in order to cover salaries, all due social contributions and the commissions. In this case, BATSOFT SA undertakes to notify the Employee, latest at the theoretical salary payment date. In such case, the unpaid Employee may form its claim directly against the Private Employer when BATSOFT SA was not able to fulfil its duties under the Trust Mandate notably because the personal account of the Private Employer was not sufficiently funded or when the number of worked hours has not been properly entered in the platform by the Private Employer. BATSOFT SA shall not be held liable in case of late payment to the compensation office and in case of debt recovery proceedings initiated against the Private Employer. As an employer, the Private Employer acknowledges that it is the sole liable party regarding the appropriate execution of the Employment Agreements. BATSOFT SA shall not be held liable of any labor law litigation between the Private Employer and the Employee. The Private Employer, as an employer, is the sole liable party of the breach of social contributions and tax laws. The Private Employer acknowledges, it can be sued for such breach. BATSOFT SA shall not be held liable for any unpaid social contributions or other unpaid contributions in case of incomplete or inaccurate count of worked hours by the Private Employer, due to the absence of declaration from the Private Employer and/or the insufficient pre-payment to BATSOFT SA. In case of delay in the execution of the Trust Mandate, namely related to a delayed payment from the Private Employer, all reminder fees from third parties shall be borne by the Private Employer. BATSOFT SA may reimburse, at the Private Employer’s request, certain objects damaged by the Employee pursuant to the depreciation tables in force in the insurance companies and in agreement with the Private Employer. The maximum amount covered is CHF 750.00 per year.

  2. Cookies and internet safety BATSOFT SA undertakes to comply with all applicable laws, enactments, regulations, orders, and standards as may be amended from time to time, in order to protect personal data and to make sure its computer systems and other software on which it can have control over, are up-to-date in terms of safety. Insofar BATSOFT SA shares any personal data with the User, the User shall process such personal data in compliance with all applicable laws, enactments, regulations, orders, and standards as may be amended from time to time. The User is responsible for ensuring the security of its computer systems, programs and other software within their sphere of influence. The User shall thereby ensure that all reasonable precautions are taken to ensure the security of and prevention of any corruption or loss, damage or destruction of the personal data. However, in the event BATSOFT SA’s personal data has been accessed or obtained by an unauthorized person, the User will immediately notify BATSOFT SA of any such unauthorized access and will cooperate with BATSOFT SA in taking any measures deemed necessary to mitigate against any such loss or unauthorized access. BATSOFT SA reserves the right to block the User’s access to the platform and shall be entitled to form claims for interest and damages. BATSOFT SA uses passwords and networks protected by firewalls, in conformity with the applicable norms of its field, as amended from time to time. The platform developed by BATSOFT SA uses “cookies”. BATSOFT SA hereby informs Private Employers that a refusal of cookies usage can have bad consequences, like a malfunctioning of the platform features and services.

  3. Data protection BATSOFT SA undertakes not to transfer the personal and sensitive data contained on the platform to third parties, unless otherwise stated by law or any competent authority. BATSOFT SA ensures that the management of personal and sensitive data complies with Swiss data protection law and undertakes to share personal data entered on the secure platform on a voluntary basis by the Private Employer or its Employee (name, address, date of birth, AHV number, civil status, work permit, etc.) only with the relevant social compensation offices and cantonal tax authorities to the extent necessary. In particular, BATSOFT SA needs the data - and the personal and sensitive data of the Employee - in order to be able to deliver its services under the Trust Mandate (Employee declaration and insurance, as well as payment of social security contributions). By signing the Trust Mandate with BATSOFT SA, the Private Employer agree with the above-mentioned purposes and the management of their personal data. BATSOFT SA must keep the Private Employer’s data (name, address, email, telephone number, date of birth, gender, employer number and cleaning data) in order to comply with the controls of the Swiss clearing offices and to properly perform its service. Users, including Private Employers and Employees, are therefore unable to change or delete the data they provided when booking. In case of retroactive verification by one or more clearing offices, BATSOFT SA must keep the above-mentioned user data for 10 years. However, the Private Employer may opt out from the BATSOFT SA’s newsletter at any time, by unsubscribing at the bottom of any e-mail sent by BATSOFT SA. BATSOFT SA also emphasizes that each User of the platform can be held responsible for the protection of the data they access via the platform and that Swiss data protection law applies regardless of the country in which they are located. If you have any questions regarding privacy or data protection compliance, please email client@batsoft.ch The storage and use of payment data will be handled through our payment service provider Datatrans. BATSOFT SA complies by a yearly audit called PCI compliance to make sure payment data are kept private.

  4. Modifications BATSOFT SA reserves the right to modify these SGTCs at any time. The modifications will be accessible via the website of BATSOFT SA and via email information to the Private Employer.

  5. Severability Should any part or provision of these SGTCs be held to be invalid or unenforceable by any competent authority having jurisdiction, the other provisions of these SGTCs shall nonetheless remain valid. In this case, the parties shall negotiate in good faith a substitute provision that best reflects the economic intentions of the parties without being unenforceable and shall execute all agreements and documents required in this connection.

  6. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction All contractual relationships between BATSOFT SA and the Private Employer shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of Switzerland, regardless of the Private Employer’s domicile. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with these SGTCs, in particular its conclusion, interpretation, performance, breach, termination or invalidity, shall be finally settled by the competent courts of Lausanne, Switzerland, which will have exclusive jurisdiction.
