Rebates

· If within two weeks either party does not deem the placement suitable for easily substantiated reasons, the arrangement may be terminated and a replacement found as soon as possible. If a suitable 'replacement' au pair is offered and refused Christian Au Pairs is under no obligation to refund charges or be obliged to replace an au pair.

· Any refund is subject to a handling and arrangement fee of £60.

· If up to four weeks the arrangement is terminated, Christian Au Pairs will offer a voucher for a free replacement up to two years. If a refund is granted any arrangements between Christian Au Pairs and the family cease to exist and the family will be obliged to re-register for a future au pair. After four weeks no refund of charges will be given. However it is still possible to hold the money in credit towards a future replacement. As a matter of principle we always try to make sure that nobody loses out and we would endeavour to make your situation a priority in finding a replacement au pair.

· Should the au pair stay longer than the agreed time the family will be invoiced accordingly up to 15 months.

· All of the above assume invoices are paid on time. Following a refund, a re-registration would be necessary.

Terms and conditions update

January 2010

In order to encourage more girls to commit to coming to the UK for ten months or more we are introducing an incentive. If an au pair stays with a family for ten months and is faithful and you are pleased with her she shoul be paid a bonus of £30. This covers her original registration fee and acts as a “Thank You” for making a longer-term commitment. This has already resulted in more girls willing to commit for a year rather than six months.
