Terms of Use

Last updated July 25 2025

AGREEMENT TO TERMS

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you, whether acting personally or on behalf of an entity (“you” or “User”), and Childcare Hub (“Childcare Hub,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) regarding your access to and use of the website www.ChildcareHub.com and any related services, including those available through other media forms, mobile sites, applications, or platforms linked or connected thereto (collectively, the “Site and Services”).

By accessing or using the Site and Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use in their entirety. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must immediately stop using the Site and Services.

Supplemental terms, conditions, or policies posted on the Site and Services from time to time are hereby incorporated by reference and form part of these Terms of Use.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or update these Terms of Use at any time for any reason. We will notify you of material changes by updating the “Last Updated” date on these Terms. You waive any right to receive individual notice of changes. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms to stay informed of updates. Your continued use of the Site and Services following the posting of updated Terms signifies your acceptance of those changes.

The Site and Services are intended for use only by individuals who are at least 18 years old. Persons under 18 years of age are not permitted to use or register for the Site and Services.

The information available on the Site and Services is not intended for distribution or use in any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would violate local laws or regulations or require registration or licensing that we do not possess. Users accessing the Site and Services from jurisdictions outside Canada do so voluntarily and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

CHILDCARE HUB IS A PLATFORM

Childcare Hub operates as a technology platform that connects parents or guardians (“Parents”) seeking childcare services with childcare providers (“Providers”). Registered Users include both Parents and Providers. Our Site and Services enable Parents to contact Providers, and in some cases, Childcare Hub facilitates billing services (“Billing Services”).

Childcare Hub does not provide, supervise, manage, or control childcare services and is not a party to any agreements between Providers and Parents, including enrollment or service agreements (“Provider Agreements”).

Providers and their personnel are independent third parties and are not employees, agents, or affiliates of Childcare Hub.

Childcare Hub makes no representations or warranties about the quality, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any Provider-related information, including licensing status, credentials, or safety standards. We do not verify or authenticate Providers’ licenses, credentials, or background checks, except as may be expressly stated.

You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to independently verify any information about Providers, including reviewing Provider policies, terms of enrollment, and inspecting Provider facilities as applicable.

If you access the Site and Services as or on behalf of a Provider, you may be required to enter into a separate Partner Agreement to use certain services, including Billing Services. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a Partner Agreement, the Partner Agreement will prevail.

SERVICE DISCLAIMERS

  1. No Employment Relationship: Childcare Hub does not employ Providers or Parents and is not responsible for the conduct of any users, whether online or offline. Parents remain solely responsible for compliance with applicable employment laws and regulations in any employment relationship with Providers, including but not limited to minimum wage, tax, employment standards, and workplace safety laws.
  2. Accuracy of User-Provided Information: Childcare Hub does not control or endorse the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content or information posted by Parents or Providers on or through the Site and Services. We disclaim all liability for any inaccuracies or misrepresentations.
  3. No Recommendations or Endorsements: Childcare Hub does not refer, recommend, or endorse any Parent or Provider, nor do we make any representations regarding the suitability or quality of any services offered by Providers. Any screening or verification we perform is limited and should not be relied upon as a guarantee of suitability or safety.
  4. No Staffing Agency or Employer Role: Childcare Hub is not a staffing agency or employer of record and does not hire, supervise, or control Providers. Users are solely responsible for any tax, insurance, withholding, or reporting obligations arising from any services provided.
  5. No Control Over Services: Childcare Hub does not control, supervise, or guarantee the quality, timing, legality, or payment of services provided by Providers.
  6. No Medical or Licensed Services: Childcare Hub does not provide medical, diagnostic, therapeutic, or any other licensed professional services.
  7. Limited Verification: We may verify certain information (such as email addresses, phone numbers, or licenses) provided by Registered Users. Verification indicates that the user completed our verification process but does not guarantee the accuracy or legitimacy of the information.

BACKGROUND AND VERIFICATION CHECKS

Childcare Hub may conduct initial background screening on Providers in compliance with applicable Canadian and British Columbia privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (“PIPA”), and any other relevant legislation. These initial checks are intended to preliminarily vet Providers to be featured on the Site and Services. Parents and other users have the option to conduct more comprehensive background checks consistent with applicable law.

  1. Provider Initiated Background Checks and Sharing.
    Providers may request, authorize, or provide background checks about themselves and may authorize the sharing of these background check results with Childcare Hub and with Parents, including both prospective and current clients.

Childcare Hub offers, through third-party screening providers, one or more background check services (“Background Checks”) to Registered Providers and Parents. Each Background Check requires the explicit consent of the Provider subject to the check and payment of a separate fee by the party requesting the check. Childcare Hub does not provide refunds for Background Checks under any circumstances.

Providers may also submit independently obtained Background Checks subject to Childcare Hub’s terms and applicable laws.

Background Checks may include, but are not limited to, criminal record checks, employment verification, education verification, and other relevant personal history. The information collected and reported complies with Canadian laws restricting the type of information that can be requested and used for employment or engagement decisions.

Childcare Hub will receive a copy of any Background Check ordered or authorized by a Provider or Parent through the Site. You are responsible for providing accurate contact information to Childcare Hub, as sensitive information will be communicated accordingly.

If a Provider has completed a Background Check through Childcare Hub or submitted their own, Childcare Hub may indicate on the Provider’s profile that the check has been completed. However, the detailed results of any Background Check will only be shared with other Registered Users upon the Provider’s explicit consent.

  1. Responsibilities of Parents and Users Requesting Background Checks
    When Parents or other users request or access Background Checks through Childcare Hub, they are responsible for complying with applicable Canadian laws governing the use of such information, including restrictions on collection, use, and disclosure under PIPEDA and PIPA.

Users requesting Background Checks must:

Childcare Hub may provide tools or mechanisms to facilitate compliance with these obligations, including notification processes; where such tools are not available, the requesting user is responsible for fulfilling these duties directly.

If a Provider disputes or challenges the accuracy of information contained in a Background Check, users must suspend any adverse decisions or actions pending investigation and resolution of the dispute in accordance with applicable laws

  1. Childcare Hub May Review and Use Background Checks You Order, Authorize, or Otherwise Provide About Yourself

    By registering for and using the Site or Services as an individual Provider, and subject to your authorization, you acknowledge and agree that Childcare Hub may review and use any background checks that you have provided or authorized, in accordance with applicable privacy laws, for the purpose of protecting the safety and integrity of our platform and its users. In the case of certain providers, this information may also be used for screening purposes related to your engagement with the platform, subject to your consent as required under applicable Canadian privacy laws. Childcare Hub reserves the right to terminate your account based on the information contained in such report, even if such information was subsequently dismissed.

    If Childcare Hub terminates your access to the Site or Services on the basis of information in a Background Check, we will notify you and provide you the name and contact information of the consumer reporting agency that created the report. We will also provide you a copy of the report unless the consumer reporting agency has already provided you a copy or access to it. You hereby represent, understand and expressly agree that Childcare Hub does not have control over or assume any responsibility for the quality, accuracy, or reliability of the information included in these Background Checks. Furthermore, any inaccuracies in the report must be addressed with the consumer reporting agency that issued it and not Childcare Hub.

By registering for and using the Site or Services as a Provider, and subject to your explicit consent, you acknowledge and agree that Childcare Hub may review and use any background check results that you have provided, ordered, or authorized, in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). This review is conducted solely for the purpose of supporting the safety, security, and integrity of the platform and its users.

For certain Providers, background check information may also be used for eligibility or screening purposes related to your participation on the platform. In such cases, your express informed consent will be required, and you may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.

Childcare Hub reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services based on the information contained in a background check where permitted by law and subject to due process. If we take any such action, we will notify you and provide the name and contact information of the third-party organization that supplied the report. If you have not already received a copy of the background check from the reporting agency, we will provide one upon request, unless otherwise already made available to you by the agency.

You acknowledge and agree that Childcare Hub is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information contained in any third-party background check and does not independently verify the contents of such reports. Any questions, disputes, or correction requests related to the background check must be directed to the third-party organization that prepared it.

  1. Childcare Hub May Order and Use Background Screenings About You

    By registering for and using the Site or Services as a Parent or Provider, you acknowledge and agree that Childcare Hub may, with your express and informed consent, engage a third-party background screening provider to conduct background checks on you for the purpose of protecting the safety and integrity of the platform and its users. These background checks may include criminal history, identity verification, or other relevant information, but will only be conducted after we have provided specific notice and obtained your separate, written authorization in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws (including PIPA or PIPEDA).

Childcare Hub may review the results of such background checks and reserves the right to restrict or terminate your access to the platform if the results raise legitimate safety concerns. However, you will be notified of any adverse decision based on background information, provided access to the report where applicable, and offered an opportunity to respond or clarify the information before any final action is taken.

You acknowledge that Childcare Hub is responsible for ensuring that the information used in these decisions is accurate and up to date, and we will take reasonable steps to verify the information provided by third-party background screening providers.

If you do not consent to such background screening, you should not register for or use Childcare Hub

  1. Childcare Hub May Regularly Verify Your Identity and the Accuracy of Your Representations and Warranties

    By registering as a Provider or Parent on Childcare Hub, and, if applicable to you as a Provider and subject to your additional authorization, you authorize Childcare Hub to verify your identity and assess the accuracy of your registration information and any legal representations or warranties you provide, for the purpose of promoting the safety and integrity of the Site and Services.

Childcare Hub may engage third-party service providers to conduct these Verification Checks on an ongoing basis, using data sources that are reasonably necessary and proportionate for this purpose. These sources may include, where permitted by law and appropriate, publicly available criminal records, sex offender registries, law enforcement and government watchlists, and relevant regulatory databases. Where applicable, you may be asked to provide additional consent for certain checks.

You agree that Childcare Hub may take appropriate action in response to the results of a Verification Check, including suspending or terminating your account if we determine, acting reasonably and in good faith, that you have provided false or misleading information, violated these Terms, or present a risk to the community. Childcare Hub will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the personal information used in any Verification Check is accurate, complete, and up to date, especially where it forms the basis of decisions that significantly affect you.

While Childcare Hub strives to protect your privacy, we may disclose the results of a Verification Check to law enforcement or regulatory bodies where required or permitted by applicable laws. Except as required by law or for safety-related purposes, we do not typically share Verification Check results with third parties.

You will be notified of any material decision made about your account based on the results of a Verification Check and may request an opportunity to clarify or dispute any adverse findings.

BY USING CHILDCARE HUB, YOU CONSENT TO THESE VERIFICATION CHECKS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE SUBJECT TO SUCH CHECKS, YOU SHOULD NOT USE CHILDCARE HUB

TERM AND TERMINATION

These Terms of Use remain in effect while you access or use the Site and Services.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and in accordance with applicable laws, to suspend or terminate your access to the Site and Services (including by blocking your IP address) at any time and for any reason, including without limitation for breach of these Terms or of any applicable law. We may also delete your account and any related content or data without prior notice.

If your account is terminated or suspended, you are prohibited from re-registering or creating a new account under your own name, a fictitious name, or on behalf of any third party, unless you receive our express written permission.

We reserve the right to pursue appropriate legal remedies, including civil, criminal, and equitable relief, in the event of any violation of these Terms or applicable law.

MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS

We may update, modify, suspend, or remove any aspect of the Site and Services at any time, in whole or in part, at our discretion and in compliance with applicable laws. While we aim to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we are under no legal obligation to update content or notify users of changes unless otherwise required by law.

We may also modify or discontinue the Site and Services (or any part thereof), including features, functionality, or pricing, at any time, without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any such changes, suspension, or discontinuance, provided such actions are not unlawful or made in bad faith.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Site and Services. There may be planned or unplanned downtime, maintenance, or system errors that result in temporary unavailability. You agree that we are not liable for any direct or indirect losses or damages arising from such interruptions or your inability to access or use the Site and Services during such periods.

Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted as requiring us to continue providing the Site and Services indefinitely or to deliver updates, corrections, or future enhancements, unless otherwise provided under a separate written agreement or required by applicable law.

GOVERNING LAW

These Terms of Use and your access to and use of the Site and Services shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles.

You agree that any legal action, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site and Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia, and you hereby submit to the jurisdiction of those courts.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Binding Arbitration

If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, CA. Except as otherwise provided herein, the parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, CA, and the parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either party related in any way to the Site and Services be commenced more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

If a dispute arises between you and us in connection with these Terms of Use or your use of the Site and Services (a “Dispute”), and we are unable to resolve the Dispute through good-faith informal negotiations within 30 days, the Dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration under the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the British Columbia Arbitration Act, or, where applicable, the Commercial Arbitration Code set out in the Commercial Arbitration Act (Canada). The arbitration shall be held in British Columbia, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. The language of arbitration shall be English.

The arbitration may be conducted in person, by written submissions, or by videoconference, at the discretion of the arbitrator and subject to agreement by the parties. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision, including reasons upon request, and shall apply the substantive laws of British Columbia and Canada, as applicable. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, subject only to appeal or review as permitted under the Arbitration Act (BC).

Nothing in these Terms of Use shall prevent either party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for interim or injunctive relief to preserve rights or prevent irreparable harm before or during arbitration.

In the event any portion of this arbitration clause is found to be unenforceable or contrary to public policy under Canadian law, the parties agree that any Dispute shall be heard by the courts of British Columbia, as set out in the “Governing Law” clause

Restrictions

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

You agree to waive any right to participate in a class action or class proceeding against us, whether in arbitration or in court, except where such waiver is not legally enforceable under applicable laws in British Columbia or Canada.

Exceptions to Arbitration

The parties agree that the following types of Disputes are excluded from mandatory arbitration and may be brought before the courts of British Columbia:

  1. Disputes relating to the enforcement, protection, or validity of intellectual property rights;
  2. Allegations of unauthorized use, data breaches, theft, invasion of privacy, or piracy;
  3. Applications for injunctive or equitable relief to prevent harm or enforce rights.

If a court finds any portion of this arbitration clause to be unenforceable, the parties agree that the unenforceable part shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law

If you are using the Site and Services as, or on behalf of, a Provider that has entered into a separate Partner Agreement with Childcare Hub, then the terms of that Partner Agreement — including any dispute resolution provisions — will govern any Dispute or claim related to the subject matter of that agreement.
