This agreement is entered into as of {date} by Parc Ventures, Inc., dba Bumo ( “Bumo”) and {providerBusiness} (“Provider”) to establish how Bumo and Provider will work together to fill Provider open slots with parents/caregivers sourced by Bumo. After this agreement, Bumo will vet Provider through our BumoTrust Certification Process.
WHEREAS Bumo has created the BumoCare Network (“BCN”) to make childcare services from qualified providers available on a short-term basis to parents/caregivers, and
WHEREAS Provider desires to make its facility available for parents/caregivers to book occasional sessions as part of the BCN,
The parties agree to the following:
I. PROVIDER RESPONSIBILITIES
During the term of this Agreement, Provider will
- Provide to Bumo information about its facility and programs, including but not limited to address, hours of operation, photos, policies, educational philosophy, staff to child ratios and points of contact.
- Maintain all information such that Bumo has the most updated information on Provider facility and programs. Maintain child care and business licenses in good standing with relevant state and local authorities, and inform Bumo of any adverse actions within 48 hours.
- Update child care facility availability in a timely manner so parents/caregivers can book open slots on Bumo’s app.
- Inform Bumo and parent/caregiver immediately if a session must be canceled or rescheduled by Provider. Habitually canceling booked sessions may result in Provider being removed from BCN.
- Inform Bumo and parent/caregiver immediately of any health and safety issues that arise during a BumoCare session.
- Provide updates to parents/caregivers after each child care session about events during that session, including but not limited to the activities the child engaged in, their mood and engagement, meals and snacks consumed, time slept, toileting if applicable, and any other important information the parent/caregiver should know about.
- Respond quickly to family complaints reported to Bumo or directly to Provider in a professional manner.
II. BUMO RESPONSIBILITIES
- Promote Provider facilities on BumoCare websites and social media channels.
- Market Provider facilities to book available child care sessions posted by Provider on the Bumo app.
- Gather and maintain required licensing and physician’s forms for each family booking a session with Provider.
- Collect payment for childcare sessions and Bumo’s fees from parents/caregivers.
- Provide monthly reporting and disbursement to Provider.
- Resolve parent/caregiver billing and payment issues.
III. CHILDCARE RATES AND FEES
Provider shall set hourly, half-day and full-day care rates for its facilities (“Childcare Rates”). Childcare Rates may vary by facility, and duration of session. Provider shall inform Bumo of its Childcare Rates, including any changes or updates. Changes in Childcare Rates must be communicated to Bumo at least 7 days before they can take effect, and can only be changed for sessions not yet booked.
IV. BUMO FEES
Bumo will charge parents/caregivers booking and service fees (“Bumo Fees”) which are not included in the Chidcare Rates. Provider will not receive any portion of Bumo Fees.
Provider will not pay Bumo any subscription fees during the first term of this Agreement.
V. REFERRAL FEES
In the event that a BCN parent/caregiver becomes a full-time childcare client, Provider will pay Bumo a $250 referral fee upon the signing of a regular childcare contract. Should Provider enroll a BCN
parent/caregiver without notifying Bumo, Provider may be removed from BCN for breach of contract.
VI. PAYMENT TERMS
Bumo will pay total Childcare Fees to Provider equal to the Childcare Rates per session times the total sessions booked during the month by the 18th of the following month. If parent/caregiver cancels a session within 48 hours, Bumo shall pay Provider the booked rate for the session. Payments to Providers will be via electronic funds transfer.
VII. TERM AND TERMINATION
The term of this Agreement is 12 months from the Effective Date, and will renew automatically for additional 12-month terms unless terminated by either party as described in this section.
Either party may terminate this Agreement upon 60 days written notice to the other party, with or without cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon a breach by the other party that goes uncured after 14 days. In the event Provider violates Bumo’s Community Guidelines, Bumo may suspend this Agreement immediately pending Provider’s corrective action.
