For the avoidance of doubt, Services are not provided by Fixup. “Platform Fee” means the fee retained by Fixup for use of the Platform, payment facilitation, and related administrative services. “Payment Processor” means Fixup’s third-party payment service provider (including Stripe or any replacement provider).

2. INTERPRETATION

2.1 Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

2.2 References to “including” or “include” are illustrative and do not limit the generality

of the words preceding them.

2.3 A reference to legislation includes any amendment or re-enactment.

2.4 These Terms apply to all users of the Platform, including Customers and

Tradespeople, unless expressly stated otherwise.

3. FIXUP’S ROLE – FUNDAMENTAL POSITION

3.1 Marketplace Only

Fixup operates solely as an online marketplace and technology platform which facilitates:

  • introductions between Customers and Tradespeople;
  • booking requests and confirmations;
  • the communication of information;
  • the collection and onward payment of funds as agent. Fixup does not provide trade services, construction services, repair services, or any regulated or unregulated physical works.

3.2 No Principal Contractor Status

For the avoidance of doubt:

  • Fixup is not a principal contractor;
  • Fixup does not act as a contractor, subcontractor, or employer;
  • Fixup does not take responsibility for the performance of Services;
  • Fixup does not manage, supervise, direct, or control Tradespeople;
  • Fixup does not supply labour, materials, tools, or equipment. Any references on the Platform to “we” , “our service” , “booking” , or similar are descriptive only and do not imply contractual responsibility for the Services.

3.3 Separate Contracts

When a Job is booked:

  • a legally binding contract for Services is formed directly and exclusively between the Customer and the Tradesperson;
  • Fixup is not a party to that contract;
  • Fixup has no contractual liability for the Services. Fixup’s involvement is limited to facilitating the transaction and administering payments in accordance with these Terms.

3.4 No Employment, Agency or Partnership

Nothing in these Terms creates, or is intended to create:

  • an employment relationship;
  • a worker relationship;
  • a partnership or joint venture;
  • a franchise;
  • a principal-agent relationship between Fixup and any Tradesperson, other than Fixup acting as a limited payment collection agent as expressly described. Tradespeople act in their own name, on their own behalf, and at their own commercial risk.

4. PAYMENT COLLECTION AS AGENT ONLY

4.1 Fixup is authorised by Tradespeople to collect payments from Customers as

commercial agent only.

4.2 Payment by a Customer to Fixup is deemed to be payment to the Tradesperson.

4.3 Fixup does not guarantee:

  • payment clearance;
  • absence of chargebacks;
  • bank processing times; or
  • availability of funds.

4.4 Fixup’s role in handling funds does not:

  • create responsibility for the Services;
  • imply control over how Services are performed;
  • transfer liability from the Tradesperson to Fixup.

5. NO ASSUMPTION OF DUTY OF CARE

5.1 Fixup does not assume any duty of care to Customers or Tradespeople in relation to:

  • workmanship;
  • safety;
  • compliance with law;
  • suitability of Services;
  • structural integrity;
  • materials used;
  • outcomes of any Job.

5.2 Any assistance, guidance, pricing templates, or tools provided by Fixup are:

  • automated;
  • indicative only;
  • not professional advice; and
  • relied upon at the user’s own risk.

6. NO SUPERVISION OR QUALITY CONTROL

6.1 Fixup does not:

  • inspect work;
  • attend sites;
  • verify completion;
  • approve workmanship;
  • enforce standards of performance.

6.2 Any references to “vetted” , “verified” , or similar are limited to administrative

onboarding checks only and do not constitute certification, endorsement, or guarantee of competence.

7. PLATFORM BRANDING AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

7.1 The Platform may present a unified booking and payment experience for

convenience.

7.2 Such presentation does not indicate that:

  • Fixup performs the Services;
  • Fixup controls Tradespeople; or
  • Services are supplied by Fixup.

7.3 Users acknowledge that a seamless customer experience does not alter the

underlying contractual position.

8. EARLY-STAGE OPERATING MODEL (IMPORTANT)

8.1 In certain circumstances, a Tradesperson providing Services may also be a director,

shareholder, or officer of Fixup.

8.2 Where this occurs:

  • the Tradesperson acts solely in their capacity as an independent contractor;
  • the Services are provided under a separate contract between the Customer and that Tradesperson;
  • Fixup does not become a principal contractor by virtue of any shared ownership or management.

8.3 Customers expressly acknowledge that Fixup’s marketplace role remains

unchanged in such circumstances.

9. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY USERS

By using the Platform, all users expressly acknowledge and agree that:

  • Fixup is a facilitator only;
  • responsibility for Services lies with the Tradesperson;
  • disputes regarding Services do not involve Fixup as a contracting party;
  • Fixup’s liability is limited to its role as a marketplace operator. This acknowledgement is fundamental and relied upon by Fixup in making the Platform available.

10. PRECEDENCE

10.1 This Module 1 governs the interpretation of all other sections.

10.2 If any provision elsewhere appears inconsistent, this Module shall prevail.
