All legal issues, arising from or relate to the use of this site or from any other of the Agency’s services, are construed in accordance with the laws of Spain. The Agency failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision or of any other rights or provisions in these Terms and Conditions.

PREMIER AU PAIRS
acts only and exclusively as an introductory agency for contacting Host Families and Au Pairs. The Agency will send to the clients all the information on those Host Families/Au Pairs who fit what they have requested in their Application Form.

The Agency does not engage the Au Pair but are the Host Families who do it. For this reason, the responsibility for the final decision and the agreement rests with the Host Family; therefore, we strongly recommend that you check carefully the profile and all documents of the candidates.

The Au Pair candidates will be solely responsible to accept or reject the offer made ??by a Host Family, exempting the Agency from any liability whatsoever.Listen For this reason, they must read very carefully the profile of the families and also to ensure that the place where the Host Family they choose lives, is the kind of city, town or village where they would like to live during their stay in the host country.

The rights and obligations of the Au Pair and the Host Family shall be the reflected in a written agreement between both parties to be issued in the form of a "Letter of Invitation/ Agreement” to the Au Pair.

The Host Family must give their Au Pair four (4) weeks trial period for long term engagements and fourteen (14) days for short term engagements and Summer Au Pair.

The Host Family must devote the full trial period in training and support the Au Pair, giving her the opportunity to improve her language, domestic and childcare skills.

The Host Family can only give the notice to the Au Pair before the trial period expires, due to incompatibility, genuine misunderstanding or incompetence of the Au Pair and prior discussion with the Agency and subject to our consent. Both parties must notify the Agency in writing stating the reasons for giving the notice. If the Agency consider these reasons valid, will then take the most convenient decision for both parties, which means that we will supply
the family with a free replacement and we will find a new Host Family for the Au Pair.

Except for extreme circumstances, if the Au Pair leaves the  Host Family within the trial period or at any other time without respecting the required notice period, they can make a deduction on her due pocket money. The Au Pair will also forfeit the right to further assistance and will put herself out of the Au Pair Programme.

The Au Pair must continue living with the Host Family within the notice period, carrying out her usual duties and she must get paid accordingly. Under no circumstances than illegal action or serious misconduct can the Host Family make the Au Pair leave their home without giving the notice. Otherwise, the Agency will charge the Host Family with all expenses that the Au Pair, or the Agency on her behalf, has incurred (room and board, transport, etc.).

In the event the Host Family and the Au Pair reach a mutual agreement for the Au Pair leaving the family without the due notice, the Host Family must yet give her time to find another family or make the necessary arrangements for the Au Pair to return to her home country.

Both parties must be given the following notice:

For long term placements, i.e., 6 months or more:
Within the trial period:  7 days

After the trial period:  14 days

For short term placements, i.e., up to 6 months and Summer Au Pairs:
Within and after the trial period:  7 days

In the event of serious misconduct on the part of the Au Pair or the Family, either party must terminate the engagement immediately. Serious misconduct that implies any kind of risk or danger may require the involvement of the police. Both parties must inform the Agency immediately to allow us to take the most appropriate actions.

When misconduct is on the part of the Au Pair, the Host Family is liable of providing, and pay her adequate accommodation and meals for 48 hours from the date of dismissal. In the event the Agency takes care of these expenses on behalf of the Host Family, they must pay the Agency the due amount or otherwise, we reserve the right of taking the appropriated legal action against them.

If misconduct is on the part of the Host Family, they are liable to provide and pay for adequate accommodation and board to the Au Pair up to 3 days from the termination date. Furthermore, they are liable to pay return fares and make all necessary arrangements for the Au Pair returning to her country in the event that within these 3 days, the Agency were not able to find a suitable new family for her or she decides come back home. In case of breach, the Agency reserves the right to bring legal action against the Family. The Agency will then be relieved for any obligation to the Host Family.

11.- Final dispositions
 
2.7
The clients must pay a deposit for registration in the Au Pair Programme which will be payable when they send their application form and the required documents. The deposit is for administration cost and in any case is reimbursable.
Due to the great amount of registrations for the Summer Au Pair Programme, the Agency cannot guarantee any placement.
Although the deposit is not refundable, the Agency will make the following exception with the girls registered for the Summer Au Pair Programme: If the Agency does not present you any family or none of the families we present to you does not make you a firm offer, the deposit paid will be saved for next summer. However, if there were one or more families, who want to make you a firm offer, but you reject them for reasons such as, number of children, the place where they live, working hours, pocket money, etc. and, as a result, we could not place you, then you would lose the deposit already paid. Do not forget that in summer there are more young people wanting to be placed as an au pair than host families available.
Once the deposit is paid, the Agency will issue a receipt. Clients will be invoiced for the total amount of the Agency fees (including the deposit already paid) when the Au Pair has received the letter of invitation from the Host Family. The amount owed now is only balance between the deposit already paid and the total fees invoiced.
Invoices will be payable within five (5) days of the invoice’s date. If payment is not received by then, unless it was due to a justified reason and with the previous and express consent of the Agency, we will assume that you have desisted of your application and hence the Au Pair/Host Family chosen by you will be available again and your contract with the Agency will be cancelled. If you request another Au Pair/Host Family, the Agency fees, including the deposit, must be paid again.
Host families should keep in mind that arrangement for the travel of the Au Pair they have   invited will not be made until the account has not been settle in full.

Au Pairs must pay the Agency fees once they receive the letter of invitation from the Host Family they have accepted, otherwise, her agreement with this family will be cancelled.
The Agency reserves the right to expel from the Au Pair Programme and take the legal actions it deems necessary against those clients who fail to pay the Agency fee or had made a fraudulent payment. 
If a family engages an Au Pair who is already in their country of residence they must pay the Agency fees before the beginning of the placement; otherwise, the agreement with said Au Pair and the contract with the Agency will be considered cancelled.  The Agency will place the Au Pair with another family.
If an Au Pair already lives in the country of residence of the Host Family she is going to be placed with, she must pay the Agency fees before the commencement of the placement, otherwise, the placement with said family as well as the contract with the Agency will be cancelled. Another Au Pair will be offered to the family.
Fees for three months placements or Summer Au Pairs are only for stays of this length and families cannot use it as a down payment to secure a long term Au Pair.

When an Au Pair stays longer that the period the Host Family has paid for, the Agency will send an additional invoice to the family. No charge will be made to the Au Pair.

If a family introduces an Au Pair from this Agency to another family, and she accepts to work with the second family, the Agency must be informed immediately and the second family must register with the Agency and pay the due fees, otherwise, the first family will be liable for the introduction fees to a third party.

If an Au Pair returns with the same Host Family after the first contract has been completed, both must inform the Agency immediately. The Host Family shall be invoiced for the new period of stay agreed. The Au Pair will not be charged.

The Agency fees outlined below are determined for the Au Pair length of stay with the Host Family and are part of these Terms and Conditions. Payments of the Agency fees will be made only in Euros.

The Agency’s fees are subject to an annual increase. However, the Agency reserves the right to modify them at any time. It is your responsibility to find out which are our current fees before making your application as they may have changed since the last time you contacted with the Agency.
The deposit will be valid whilst the Agency is unable to offer an Au Pair/Host Family that match with the profile requested by the client. However, the deposit will be valid for 3 months when the client does not accept any of the Au Pairs / Host Families offered, although they fit the required profile. In this case, if the client wants that we continue searching for an Au Pair/Host Family, they must pay the deposit again.

Travel Arrangements
If the Host Family cannot collect their Au Pair at the first point of arrival in their country, they are responsible for her travel costs from there to the Host Family’s home. The Agency can book and pay for national public transport (train, bus, etc.), plus a surcharge of 20.00€ for this service. We will invoice to the Au Pair but then the Host Family will reimburse its amount to the au pair

Note for Au Pairs
As it is known, on the Internet it can be found many Au Pairs agencies that do not charge to the au pair candidates. However, please note that if you pay nothing, the agency you have contacted will not consider you its client. If you had any problem during your stay in the host country, they will not help you because they will not spend time and effort for nothing. In addition, we want you to be our preferred client, as of the two parties (Family and Au Pair), you are the most vulnerable.
