LABOR RESPONSIBILITY: SERV S.A.S. is solely responsible for the CLEANING PROFESSIONALS in labor matters, i.e., the conclusion of contracts and the terms thereof shall be discussed exclusively between the COMPANY and the WORKERS. Therefore, everything legally required by the labor relationship shall be assumed directly by the same.

Consequently, SERV S.A.S., through its PLATFORM, declares that all its CLEANING PROFESSIONALS are duly hired and affiliated to EPS, A.R.L., Family Compensation Fund, Pension Fund, and Severance Pay and that they are recognized in all the aspects to which by Law in its capacity as EMPLOYER it is obliged.

PARAGRAPH: Between the CLIENT and the WORKERS of SERV S.A.S., who act as CLEANING PROFESSIONALS, there is no labor relationship of any kind, and although the nature of the services provided by Serv allows the CLIENTS to have certain prerogatives regarding the tasks performed by the CLEANING PROFESSIONALS during the Service, at no time shall this situation constitute labor subordination.

17.1.2. LIABILITY FOR DETERIORATION, DAMAGE, OR INCONVENIENCE: In the event of any inconvenience during the performance of the Service, which is related to the provision of the same and provided that it is different from that established in the quality guarantee (numeral 14 of this document), the CLIENT must communicate it in writing to the email info@serv.com.co, within 48 hours following the termination of the Service, specifying in detail the reasons for the situation.

In response to this communication, Serv will send the CUSTOMER the DAMAGE OR DISORDER FORM, which must be filled out by the CUSTOMER within 48 hours of receipt, specifying in detail the events that occurred and attaching the evidence verifying the occurrence of the inconvenience.

Upon receipt of the DAMAGE OR INCONVENIENCE FORM, Serv has five working days to issue a written response to the claim, which, depending on the results of the internal investigation, may be favorable or unfavorable, to the email address provided by the USER in the RESERVATION FORM. Neither the COMPANY nor the SITE is obliged to give any compensation to the CUSTOMER, but in case of finding the claim justified, they may decide among the following options:

  • Recognize the commercial value at the moment of the deterioration or damage of what has been demonstrated in the reported inconvenience, employing reimbursement in money.
  • Recognize the commercial value of the deterioration or damage of what has been demonstrated in the reported inconvenience, employing a credit for future reserves of cleaning services.
  • By the monetary value of the damage or the seriousness of the injury, make available to the client policy No. 423226 contracted with Compañía Seguros Generales Suramericana S.A. as provided for in section 16.2 of this document.

If the CLIENT remains silent within the term as mentioned earlier, it will be understood that they accept the key, and the case will be considered solved; therefore, SERV S.A.S. and its PLATFORM will be in good standing concerning the inconvenience reported by the CLIENT.

FIRST PARAGRAPH: The CUSTOMER acknowledges and accepts that the COMPANY is entitled to go to the market and/or ask the CUSTOMER for proof of the commercial value of the suitable object of the deterioration or damage and thus establish the genuine retail value of the sound object of the decline or injury.

SECOND PARAGRAPH: If proceeding to the total or partial reimbursement, it will be done through bank consignment to the account that the CUSTOMER indicates employing written communication. The refund will move in seven working days following the date of the request made by the customer and approved by the COMPANY.

17.1.3.
