TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: April 2026
1. About JARD
JARD is an online marketplace operated by Yardscape Oy (Business ID 3579881-7, Mikael Lybeckin tie 4 B, 02700 Kauniainen, Finland) that connects customers seeking home services with independent service professionals ("Providers"). JARD does not perform any services itself — we provide the platform that facilitates the connection between customers and Providers.
2. Account Registration
To use JARD as a Provider, you must create an account with a valid email address, business name, and service category. Provider accounts receive 2 free leads upon registration. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
3. Lead Fees
Providers pay a lead fee when a customer accepts their bid. Key terms:
- Lead fees are charged when a customer accepts your bid, not when you submit it
- Bidding on jobs is free
- Lead fee = 10% of your quoted price (€10 minimum)
- Fees are charged to your saved payment method via Stripe
- New accounts receive 2 free leads
4. Provider Responsibilities
As a Provider, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and truthful business information in your profile
- Hold any licenses or certifications required for your service category
- Deliver services professionally and as described in your bid
- Communicate respectfully with customers
- Not circumvent the platform to avoid credit charges
5. Customer Responsibilities
As a Customer, you agree to:
- Provide accurate job descriptions
- Pay the Provider directly for completed work (JARD does not handle job payments)
- Communicate respectfully with Providers
6. Payments
JARD does not process payments between customers and Providers. Customers pay Providers directly for services rendered. JARD charges Providers a per-lead fee via Stripe when a customer accepts their bid. All payment processing is subject to Stripe's Terms of Service.
7. Intellectual Property
JARD owns all rights to the platform, including its design, code, and branding. Users retain ownership of content they submit (profile information, messages, photos). By submitting content, you grant JARD a license to display it on the platform.
8. Limitation of Liability
JARD is a marketplace platform. We are not a party to any service agreement between customers and Providers. JARD is not liable for the quality, safety, or legality of services provided. We do not guarantee that Providers are licensed or insured.
9. Account Termination
JARD may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or abuse the platform. Users may delete their account at any time by contacting info@jard.fi. Unused free leads are forfeited upon account termination.
10. Changes to Terms
JARD may update these Terms of Service at any time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Finland. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Helsinki, Finland.
