4. AFSA Role

AFSA acts as a platform, referral, booking, concierge, or coordination channel connecting customers with approved partners.

Unless specifically agreed in writing, AFSA is not the direct provider of the partner’s services and is not responsible for the partner’s acts, omissions, staff behavior, service quality, equipment, tools, vehicles, licenses, or regulatory compliance.

AFSA may support the customer journey through inquiry handling, partner matching, booking coordination, service category presentation, payment collection, customer support, and post service follow up.

AFSA may modify, pause, reject, reassign, or cancel bookings where required for operational, customer experience, safety, or compliance reasons.

5. Referral Fee Structure

The partner agrees to pay AFSA a referral fee for every completed booking generated, introduced, facilitated, or routed through AFSA.

Referral fees are calculated on the gross booking value unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The gross booking value may include the base service price, approved add ons, emergency charges, recurring service value, travel charges, and any agreed service upgrade charged to the customer.

Taxes, refunds, discounts, cancellation charges, and third party charges may be handled as agreed between AFSA and the partner in the applicable commercial agreement.

6. Online Transaction Fee

An additional 8% online transaction fee applies only when customer payment is collected online through the AFSA platform.

The online transaction fee may cover online payment handling, transaction administration, payment gateway support, reconciliation, collection management, and platform based payment processing.

The 8% online transaction fee is not applicable when the customer pays the partner directly.

Where payment is collected online through AFSA, AFSA may deduct both the applicable referral fee and the 8% online transaction fee before releasing the partner payout.

7. Direct Payment by Customer to Partner

Where the customer pays the partner directly, the online transaction fee does not apply.

However, the partner remains responsible for paying AFSA the applicable referral fee for the completed booking.

The partner must not avoid, bypass, hide, under report, or misrepresent AFSA generated bookings to avoid paying referral fees.

AFSA may request booking confirmation, customer confirmation, invoices, receipts, job cards, payment proof, or service completion records to verify completed bookings.

8. Payouts to Partners

Where AFSA collects customer payment online, partner payouts will be processed after service completion, customer confirmation or reasonable service verification, invoice or booking value confirmation, deduction of applicable referral fees, deduction of applicable online transaction fees, and resolution of any customer complaint, refund request, or dispute.

Unless otherwise agreed, payouts may be processed within a reasonable period after completion and verification. AFSA appointed weekly, bi weekly, monthly, or booking based payout cycles.

AFSA may withhold or delay payouts where there is a service dispute, refund request, suspected fraud, incomplete documentation, incorrect bank details, or breach of these terms.

9. Cancelled, Rescheduled, or Failed Bookings

Referral fees apply only to completed bookings unless otherwise agreed.

If a booking is cancelled before service delivery, no referral fee will apply unless the partner has already dispatched staff, incurred an approved cost, or the cancellation terms provide otherwise.

If the partner cancels, fails to attend, arrives significantly late, refuses the service without valid reason, or does not provide the agreed service, AFSA may reassign the booking and may reduce the partner’s visibility, pause the partner profile, or remove the partner from the platform.

If a customer reschedules a booking, the referral fee will apply once the rescheduled service is completed.

10. Repeat Customers and Non Circumvention

Customers introduced to the partner through AFSA are considered AFSA referred customers.

For a period of 6 months from the first AFSA generated booking or customer introduction, any repeat booking from the same customer for the same or related service may remain subject to the applicable AFSA referral fee unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The partner must not encourage customers to bypass AFSA for the purpose of avoiding referral fees, platform terms, customer support, or payment obligations.

AFSA may suspend or terminate the partner relationship if the partner attempts to bypass AFSA, redirect AFSA customers unfairly, or under report repeat bookings.

11. Pricing and Service Information

The partner must provide accurate and updated pricing information to AFSA.

The partner must not charge customers hidden fees or materially different prices from the information shared with AFSA unless the customer approves the change before service delivery.

AFSA may remove or edit service listings that are unclear, misleading, incomplete, or inconsistent with customer experience standards.

The partner remains liable for the actions, omissions, conduct, negligence, and service quality of its personnel.

14. Compliance With Laws

The partner must comply with all applicable UAE laws, regulations, licensing requirements, labor obligations, health and safety standards, insurance requirements, consumer protection rules, data protection obligations, and service specific regulations.

The partner is solely responsible for maintaining required permits, licenses, insurance, employee documentation, vehicle approvals, chemical safety compliance, pest control approvals, technical certifications, and other legal requirements related to its services.

AFSA may request updated documents at any time.

15. Insurance and Liability

The partner is responsible for maintaining appropriate insurance coverage where applicable to its service category.

The partner is responsible for any damage, loss, injury, theft, misconduct, accident, service failure, property damage, or regulatory breach caused by the partner, its staff, subcontractors, or service delivery.

AFSA is not liable for damages caused by partner service delivery unless expressly required by law or agreed in writing.

The partner agrees to indemnify AFSA against claims, losses, complaints, penalties, damages, costs, and expenses arising from the partner’s services, conduct, breach of terms, legal non compliance, or customer disputes.

16. Customer Data and Confidentiality

AFSA may share customer information with the partner only for the purpose of handling confirmed inquiries, bookings, service delivery, customer communication, and post service support.

The partner must use customer information only for the relevant AFSA booking and must not misuse, sell, share, store unnecessarily, or market to customers without consent or legal basis.

Customer data may include names, phone numbers, addresses, service requirements, booking times, payment information where applicable, and service notes.

The partner must keep AFSA customer data confidential and secure.

17. Use of AFSA Brand

The partner may not use AFSA’s name, logo, website content, brand identity, customer database, marketing material, or platform assets without written permission.

AFSA may use the partner’s business name, logo, service information, service photos, pricing, and profile details for listing, promotion, booking, and customer communication purposes while the partner remains active on the platform.

AFSA may remove partner branding from the platform if the partner is suspended, rejected, or terminated.

18. Partner Listing and Visibility

AFSA may decide how partner listings are displayed, ranked, promoted, edited, paused, or removed.

Partner visibility may depend on service category, location, customer demand, performance, response time, pricing clarity, customer reviews, availability, commercial terms, and AFSA’s internal quality standards.

AFSA does not guarantee booking volume, ranking position, customer conversion, revenue, or continuous visibility.

19. Reviews, Ratings, and Customer Feedback

AFSA may collect, review, display, or use customer feedback related to partner services.

Customer feedback may influence partner ranking, visibility, approval status, and continued participation in the AFSA partner program.

AFSA may investigate complaints or negative feedback before taking action but is not obligated to publish every review.

20. Suspension and Termination

AFSA may suspend, pause, or terminate a partner’s access, listing, or booking flow at any time if the partner breaches the platform terms, damages customer trust, or fails to meet AFSA standards.

22. No Employment, Agency, or Partnership Relationship
