AMYKA TERMS OF USE
08 May 2025

1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to AMYKA! Our mission is to facilitate our customers’ direct access, interaction and informed choice regarding local tradespeople, without unnecessary hurdles, forced intermediation or transferring of predatory or hidden costs. By using our platform, customers can find, follow, interact with, and leave reviews for tradespeople, and tradespeople with active AMYKA vendor accounts (“Tradespeople”) can advertise and offer their services and promotions to customers.

1.1 Who we are

1.1.1 The platform is provided to you by us, AMYKA INTERNATIONAL LTD, trading as “AMYKA”. Our registered office is at 39 Nortonwood Lane, Windmill Hill, Runcorn, England. Our registered number is 16257783.

1.1.2 For the purposes of these terms, “AMYKA”, “we”, “us” or “our” means AMYKA INTERNATIONAL LTD, trading as “AMYKA”. The words “you”, “your” or “user” means you, as a user of the platform, whether you are a customer or a tradesperson. The words “tradesperson”, “tradespeople” means any tradesperson who uses our platform. Any terms applicable to a “customer”, “Tradesperson” or “Tradespeople” specifically are identified as such.

1.1.3 AMYKA operates the platform to: (a) allow Tradespeople to present, advertise, and promote their activities, collect information about customer enquiries and prospective orders, and choose the best means for customers and the general public to approach the Tradespeople directly or via the platform, and to reply to customer enquiries in a free form, with or without any relation to making a trade or a project offer, as the case may be – acting as an intermediary in matching customers’ needs with respect to services offered by its directory of Tradespeople; and (b) allow customers to research service opportunities tailored to their needs, across the services offered across AMYKA’s service categories, contact Tradespeople directly, submit service, project or job enquiries via the platform, follow and leave reviews for tradespeople. AMYKA’s responsibility in offering the platform is strictly limited to its role as the platform operator and is not responsible for the quality, standard, delivery, or any other elements of workmanship offered by any tradesperson, or any engagement entered into between a customer and a tradesperson pursuant to the use of the platform.

1.1.4 The platform does not include any process through which you as a customer may make payment for the services you receive from your tradesperson.

1.1.5 Any personal information that You provide to Us, or which we collect about you, will be dealt with in line with our Privacy Policies, as further detailed in clause 3.3. below.
1.1.6 Where you are a Tradesperson, the platform includes a process through which you as a Tradesperson may make payment for the services rendered by the platform, including but not limited to subscription services, paid promotions (Promo and Promo Plus), promotion and other service packages, including on a pre-paid basis, and packaged or custom professional services and promotions. The service is provided by third-party payment processors. We are not responsible for the performance of the payment processors, but we will provide some support if you have an issue with the service they provide.
1.1.7 These terms of use (“Terms”) operate to form the basis on which the platform can be used and is operated. They do not govern the relationship between a customer and a tradesperson for services. Any arrangement made between a tradesperson and a customer is a separate contract to which AMYKA is not a party and has no liability or responsibility.
1.1.8 These Terms set out the rights and obligations of AMYKA, its customers, and tradespeople in relation to the use of the platform. You should read them carefully and let us know if you have any concerns or questions before proceeding to use the platform. You can contact us by visiting our Contact Us page.

1.2 How to use our Platform

1.2.1 The platform comprises not only the website we operate at amyka.com and all other domains that we may own or control from time to time, but also our apps (for tradespeople and customers, as the case may be) as well as any web or mobile platform we host and the related pages, sub-domains and tools, content, blogs and other information or subject matter contained therein
1.2.2 The platform should be used in accordance with all terms, conditions, policies, and other relevant information and guidance in force from time to time.

1.3 Compliance with terms

1.3.1 Before using the platform, you must read these Terms carefully to understand what you can expect from us and what we expect from you.

1.3.2 These Terms will also refer to our AMYKA Privacy Policy and the AMYKA Cookie Policy, which are applicable to your use of the platform and are incorporated by reference within these Terms.

1.3.3 If you are a tradesperson, your contract with us for services is referred to here as your "Membership Contract" and is a separate agreement between you and us which sets out how you become a subscriber of AMYKA’s services (also referred to as "member" and the status of active subscription as "membership"), what terms and conditions apply to your membership, and what membership services we will provide to you. Both these Terms and the Membership Contract will apply to you as a tradesperson.
1.3.4 If at any time you do not agree or cannot comply with these Terms, you should immediately cease using the platform.

2. NATURE OF USE

2.2.2 You acknowledge that your agreement with your mobile network and/or internet service provider will apply in respect of your use of data in connection with your use of the platform and that you may be charged by your mobile network and/or internet service provider for such use. You are responsible for such charges. If you are not the bill payer for the device being used to access the platform, you must obtain permission from the bill payer before using the platform.

2.2.3 You acknowledge that your agreement with your mobile network and/or internet service provider will apply in respect of your use of data in connection with your use of the platform and that you may be charged by your mobile network and/or internet service provider for such use.

2.4 Identity and checks

2.4.1 If you are a customer, you will need to create an account to access certain areas of the platform, particularly to use the social functions, leave a review, or submit data for receiving indicative offers. You should only create one account, and this account should be for your personal use only. When you first register for an account within the platform, you will be required to verify your account. Once verified, you will then be required to include certain personal information, some of which will be visible to others in order to be able to continue to use the platform's functionality.
2.4.2 If you are a tradesperson, you will need to create an account (including your profile) to access and use the platform, and you will need to be accepted and pass our vetting process, including a check of your company data with the UK Companies House register, or as set out in the Membership Contract. If you’re sharing an account with other people, for example, employees of your business, then the person whose financial information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity.
2.4.3 We reserve the right, where necessary and without limitation, to undertake all such necessary action including requiring further verification as to the identity, age, and other relevant details of a user as is reasonable to protect ourselves, the platform and other users against fraudulent or illegal behaviour or where we have reasonable grounds to believe that we may be in actual or possible breach of laws or regulations that apply to us from time to time.
2.4.4 You must provide us with any information we reasonably ask for as soon as possible, and if it is personal information, we will use it in line with our AMYKA Privacy Policy.

3. ACCEPTANCE AND USE

3.1 Use and Matching

3.1.1 Within the platform, customers will be able to post, usually via a selection from predefined lists of features and properties pertinent to the selected service category, indicative project, job, or service specifications to solicit suitable offers from Tradespeople within their area ("customer request"). Customers will be required to insert details of the work they require, add any photos to give an understanding of the services required, and timelines for that work.

3.1.2 The platform will then send the customer request to the list of Tradespeople selected by the customer.

3.1.3 Customers will be able to submit messages to Tradespeople and manage their customer requests within the platform. Notwithstanding anything contrary to the above, customers will also at any time be able and allowed to contact Tradespeople directly without any need for AMYKA intermediation, and without any obligations to AMYKA whatsoever.

3.1.4 All customer requests are subject to a non-binding review by the Tradesperson. The Tradesperson is not obligated to review or consider any customer request and may, at their discretion, follow up or ignore for any reason.

3.1.5 If a Tradesperson is able to assist, they will then be able to contact the customer either from within the platform or directly and provide a quote. Customers and Tradespeople are free to liaise in any form or manner, and AMYKA shall at no time have any knowledge or involvement in the arrangements and/or agreements between customers and Tradespeople.

3.1.6 Any engagement (including appointment arrangement, quotes, and receipt of invoices for materials or services) between a customer and a Tradesperson is solely between the customer and the Tradesperson.

3.1.7 You will also be able to use the platform’s social services such as the “follow” functionality or others, as the case may be. You may only use the platform’s social features for lawful purposes, in line with these Terms.

3.1.8 Any quote or pricing displayed to a customer on or via the platform is offered by the Tradesperson(s) and is not offered, underwritten, or approved by us. Any agreement reached between a customer and a tradesperson based on this or any other pricing structure is a contract between that customer and that tradesperson, and accordingly, we are not a party to it nor are we under any obligation to become involved in any dispute.

3.1.9 Customers are solely responsible for evaluating the suitability of tradespeople for the services they offer to provide and choosing a tradesperson.

3.1.10 In the event that a dispute arises between a customer and a tradesperson, you (whether you are the customer or tradesperson) agree to irrevocably release AMYKA, its employees, officers, successors, and agents from any and all losses, damages, claims, or demands of any nature arising directly, indirectly, or in any way out of matters related to such a dispute, other than in relation to a breach of these Terms by us.
3.1.11 AMYKA is not liable for, party to, or in any way involved in any agreement reached between the customer and the tradesperson that may come as a result of the use of this platform, and customers should verify to their own satisfaction details considered relevant to the engagement of the tradesperson for services and only proceed where comfortable to do so. We bear no loss nor liability for any damages incurred as a result of such agreement.

3.2 Engagement

3.2.4 We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account or remove or edit any User Content if you are in breach of applicable laws, these Terms, or any of our other applicable terms and conditions, guidelines, or policies.
3.2.5 You acknowledge and accept by your continued use of the platform that, unless we state otherwise, any content within the platform has not been verified or approved by us.
3.2.6 We reserve the right, acting reasonably, to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that User Content infringes their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy. We shall not be responsible or liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of User Content posted by you or any other user of the platform.
3.2.7 We make no guarantee that User Content will be kept on the platform for any length of time, and we reserve the right to remove User Content as we see fit, including if it does not comply with these Terms or the removal is otherwise desirable for our business or operational reasons.
