TLC Nanny Consulting Service

TLC For Kids, Inc. DBA TLC Family Care, with its principal mailing address 7750 Maryland Avenue # 16042, St. Louis, MO 63105 (“TLC” or “We” or “Us”), and the client whose name is affixed to this application below (“Client”) agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Services Agreement (the “Agreement”).

1. Services for Nanny Hiring Consultation 

Client is interested in hiring a TLC Consultant to help them with their individual nanny hiring process. The client understands that TLC is not performing a search and referral process. The intention of this service is to guide a parent through the process by sharing information based on TLC’s many years of practicing in the Nanny referral marketplace. Client understands that the fee for TLC consulting is $250 per hour with a 1-hour minimum and that consultations that run over 1 hour are billed in 15-minute increments. 

Client understands that TLC is not performing a search and referral process. The intention of this service is to guide a parent through their own individual search and direct-hiring process.  TLC is not making any referrals, endorsement of candidates, or hiring recommendations to Client.  TLC will advise Client on useful techniques and tools that are intended to benefit, but not guaranteed, to assist them in their search, interviewing, and reference-checking activities related to identifying a Nanny candidate whom they may wish to establish an employment relationship with.

2. Confidential Information

Client understands and agrees that all information and materials received by Client during the consultation are considered proprietary and confidential and are provided solely for the use of the Client in their individual Nanny search process.  

Both parties may receive information that is proprietary, trade secret, or confidential to the other party. Both parties agree to hold such information in strict confidence and not to disclose such information to third parties or to use such information for any purpose whatsoever other than performing under this Agreement or as required by law. 

3. Payment

Consulting will be charged before each scheduled consultation and is non-refundable once charged.  Should Client need to cancel after the consultation session has been billed, the consultation can be rescheduled within a reasonable time period (within two weeks of the canceled consultation).

Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all fees are non-refundable, earned in full, and due and payable according to the terms of this Agreement. If any fees or portions thereof are not paid when due, TLC will charge interest on the unpaid amount of the fee. Interest will be calculated by multiplying the unpaid balance by the periodic rate of .0083% per month (TEN PERCENT [10%] ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The unpaid balance will bear interest until paid. If Client’s account is turned over to an agency or other person or entity for collection, all fees and interest, including but not limited to attorney’s fees and costs, incurred relating to the collection activity will be added to Client’s original balance, become payable to TLC according to the terms of this Agreement, and Client agrees to pay TLC all such fees, costs, and interest. Finally, Client agrees to pay TLC any charge TLC incurs if Client’s check or other payment is returned or refused for any reason.

Client agrees to provide TLC with a valid credit card number, expiration date, and security code; understands and agrees that TLC shall charge Client’s credit card for all fees and charges owed to TLC if Client fails to pay all fees and charges in a timely manner according to the terms of this Agreement; hereby irrevocably authorizes TLC to place charges on said account in accordance with this Agreement; and agrees to pay all such charges and fees billed to Client’s credit card according to the terms of this Agreement. Client will give TLC new credit card information and authorization for the new credit card(s) should Client cancel the credit card or should Client’s ability to use the credit card cease for any reason.

4. DISCLAIMER/WAIVER/HOLD HARMLESS/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TLC assumes no liability or responsibility for, and makes no representations or warranties about, any information, material, errors, omissions, or services it provides to Client.

In addition, this Agreement does not limit either party’s right, where applicable, to file, cooperate with or participate in an investigative proceeding of any governmental entity, or to file charges that do not seek personal relief for released claims with any governmental entity.

Additionally, Client shall indemnify, defend and hold TLC and its owners, agents, employees, officers, directors, representatives, attorneys and affiliated entities harmless against any damages or liability whatsoever arising out of or in any way in connection with the consultation services provided to Client by TLC, regardless of how, when, or where any damages or liability was incurred.

Finally, in no event shall either party to this Agreement be liable for consequential, incidental, exemplary, punitive, special or indirect damages of any kind.
