Article 8 Termination

8.1.
A notice period of 1 month applies to all agreements or contracts. Cancellation must be reported in writing via [email protected]. The above arrangement also applies to reductions in days. Only after confirmation has been received by email will the cancellation be officially received and processed. If you do not receive a response to your email within 5 working days, please contact the manager on 0628817447. Your cancellation is only final after receiving written confirmation from VIPKids.
8.2.
If the contractor cancels the agreed installation within 6 months before the actual commissioning, cancellation costs will be charged. The cancellation costs are 6 euros for cancellation outside 350 months before the start date. Cancellation within 2-6 months before the start date will amount to the full amount worth 50 percent of the care month. Cancellation within 1-2 months before the start date will amount to the full amount worth 1 month of care. Cancellation within 1 month before the start date will amount to the full amount worth 2 months of care.
8.3.
Extra surcharge per hour if it concerns childcare for children up to 1 year old with deregistration/cancellation before the child's 4th birthday
Article 8 of the contract describes the average hourly rate. This is based on a contract duration until the child's 4th birthday. However, the costs for a younger child are higher than for an older child. For example, the costs for a baby are 25% higher than for a 1-year-old child and the costs for a 1-year-old child are 20% higher than for a 2-3 year old child. It is therefore necessary for the continued existence of the childcare organization that children aged 0 to 4 years remain contracted with the same childcare provider. If a contract is terminated before the child's 2nd birthday, the costs for the childcare organization will be higher than the hourly price paid. In order to prevent parents from only registering their children with VIPKids for a short time due to a waiting list at another childcare organization, a settlement will take place when the child is deregistered before the child's 2nd birthday. Contracts for children up to 1 year of age that are terminated will receive an hourly rate of € 1 more. The customer will receive this settlement in a separate invoice at the end of the contract and the customer must then pay this to VIPKids within 4 weeks.
Calculation example: Child started childcare at the age of 6 months for 3 days a week and the contact is terminated. The child will be deregistered three months after the start date of the contact. Then 143 hours x 3 months x 1 euro = 429 euros extra will be charged.
You can also choose to pay the extra price immediately and if your child remains in childcare until the age of 4, you will receive this extra surcharge on the hourly price from VIPKids. Please pass this on before signing the agreement
Exceptions, provided proof is provided to VIPKids: the settlement will not be applied for one of the following reasons for cancellation:
-
death of one of the parents
-
loss of a parent's job
-
change in fixed days in the week in connection with a change in the work schedule of parents in the event that VIPKids no longer provides space on desired days at one of the VIPKids branches
-
no more places available from VIPKids on desired days
-
when moving to a location further than 15 km from VIPKids location. This does not apply if the parent was already aware when signing the agreement that a move is planned within 2 years after signing the agreement.
-
demonstrable force majeure situation.
