7. Performance of Services

7.1. ORDER

Customer may place Orders on the Site or the Application. The Customer must select one or more specific Services from the categories of Services offered and enter the desired date and time.

The Services can only be performed at the times indicated on the Site or the Application. The Services performed at certain times may be subject to an additional fee, as indicated on the Site or the Application at the time of the Order.

Before validating the Order, the Customer has access to a summary of the Order and can fill in special requests or give indications to the Professional who will be selected. The Customer understands and accepts that this information is given for information purposes only and that the Professional does not commit to it.

The Customer and the Professional may agree to modify an Order before the date of the Service.

7.2. PUTTING CustomerS AND PROFESSIONALS IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER

After validation, the Order is transmitted, thanks to the Hop Hop algorithm, to the Professionals available and corresponding best to the Customer's request. Once a Professional has accepted the Order, it is considered validated.

Hop Hop selects a Professional for the Customer on the basis of a score that varies according to the following criteria:

• the ability of the Professional to retain Customers
• the Professional's rating assigned by the Customers; and
• the number of cancellations of Orders.

The Services are also allocated according to the location of the Professionals and Customers.

When a Service proposal is received, the Professional is free to accept or refuse it, using the corresponding functionality on the Platform. After this period, the Professional will be deemed to have refused the proposal.

As soon as an Order is completed, Hop Hop solicits several Professionals. The Professionals solicited in priority are those with high scores on the basis of the above criteria. The more urgent the Order will be, the more quickly the Professionals will be solicited in order to satisfy the Order.

In the absence of a response from a Professional within a period of time that depends on the urgency of the Order, the Order is then offered to other Professionals until it is accepted by one of them.

7.3. CANCELLATION OF AN ORDER

When an Order is validated more than 14 days in advance in accordance with the above paragraph, the Customer benefits from the legally prescribed right of retraction. It is sufficient for it to cancel the Order on the Platform, using the corresponding functionality on the Site or the Application, and the Order shall be cancelled free of charge.

When an Order is made less than 14 days in advance, the Customer expressly waives its right of retraction, and the following rules apply:

• cancellation more than 8 working hours before the scheduled appointment: no cancellation fee ;
• Cancellation between 4 hours and 8 hours before the scheduled appointment: a fixed cancellation fee of ten (10) euros;
• cancellation between 1 hour and 4 hours before the scheduled appointment: cancellation fee of 50% of the amount of the Order;
• cancellation between 1 business hour and the scheduled appointment: cancellation fee of 80% of the Order; and
• cancellation after the scheduled appointment time, or in the event that the Customer is absent 30 minutes after the appointment time: 100% of the Order.

7.4. PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES

Hop Hop does not intervene at the time of the Service, which is the sole responsibility and competence of the Professional.

At the end of a Service, the Customer evaluates the Professional through a scoring system. The evaluations are intended to be final and are only exceptionally deleted after an express request from their author.

The Professional also evaluates the Customer. The opinions left by the Professionals are not public.

8. Financial conditions

The price of the Services is set by Hop Hop. The price of each particular Service appears on the Platform. The Customer must pay for the Services by credit card.

The Customer understands and accepts that certain Services are subject to minimum Orders, as indicated on the Platform.

The total amount could be adapted with extra costs, as for example parking cost, or with additional services that the Customer asked for.

The corresponding amounts are credited to the Professional's Hop Hop balance. Once a month, Hop Hop will transfer the balance of his balance to his bank account, free of charge. The Professional may decide at any time to transfer the balance of his balance to his bank account, Stripe then charges a payment fee of 0.25% and 10 cents.
