Welcome to Hylpers, a platform operated by Hylpers L.L.C-FZ, offering a marketplace to connect service seekers with independent service providers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). By accessing or using our platform, you agree to comply with the following Terms and Conditions. 

1. Definitions

• Service Seekers: Individuals or businesses using Hylpers to find and engage service providers. 

• Service Providers: Independent professionals offering services through the Hylpers platform. 

• Platform: Refers to Hylpers’ website, mobile application, or other means of accessing its services. 

• Agreement: These Terms and Conditions. 

2. Contractual Relationship

Your access to and use of the platform constitutes your agreement to these Terms, forming a binding contractual relationship between you and Hylpers. If you do not agree, you may not access or use the platform. Hylpers may modify or terminate these Terms or Services at any time, with changes effective upon posting. Continued platform use constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. 

3. Representations and Warranties

By using the platform, you represent and warrant that: 

• You are at least 18 years old. 

• You comply with all applicable UAE laws and regulations. 

• You are not subject to any economic sanctions that prohibit your platform use. Failure to meet these requirements may result in the suspension of your account. 

4. User Accounts and Registration (Updated)

Only registered users may use the platform. By registering, you agree to: 

• Provide accurate, complete, and updated information. 

• Maintain the security and confidentiality of your account credentials. 

• Use only one account unless authorized by Hylpers to create multiple accounts. 

Identity Verification & Contact Requirements: 

• All users—both service seekers and providers—must upload a valid Emirates ID and a true profile picture for identity verification during registration. 

• Users are required to provide a valid mobile number to receive important service notifications and for account security verification. 

• When a user’s Emirates ID expires, they are given a 14-day grace period to upload a valid replacement. Failure to comply will result in temporary account suspension until the updated ID is submitted and verified. 

Service Provider Communication Policy: 
Service providers must not share their personal contact information, including mobile numbers, with service seekers. All communication must take place within the Hylpers platform. A violation of this rule will result in one warning. A second violation will result in permanent account suspension. 

5. Data Protection and Privacy

Hylpers complies with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (Personal Data Protection Law – PDPL) and the UAE Cybercrime Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021). We securely store user data, only collecting information necessary for verification and service purposes. In the event of a data breach, Hylpers will notify affected users within 72 hours and work with relevant authorities to resolve the breach. 

6. Employment Laws and Consumer Protection
   Hylpers facilitates connections between service seekers and service providers but does not employ providers directly. Service providers, including part-time workers, must comply with UAE labor laws and hold the necessary permits or licenses to operate independently. While a No Objection Certificate (NOC) is not mandatory for part-time service providers, it is recommended for their own protection. Obtaining the required permits and licenses benefits service providers by making their profiles more trustworthy and increasing their chances of being selected by service seekers. Non-compliance will be at the provider’s own risk, as well as the service seeker’s own risk for hiring unverified providers.

General Guidelines 
Individuals currently employed by a company who wish to engage in part-time gigs in the UAE are strongly advised to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their primary employer. The NOC should clearly specify the nature of the side gigs undertaken outside regular working hours. Engaging in part-time gigs without obtaining an NOC is done at the individual’s own risk and may result in legal or employment-related consequences. 

Special Permits for Private Tutoring and Teaching 
In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), engaging in part-time services such as private tutoring requires obtaining specific permits to ensure legal compliance. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE) offers a Private Tutor License for individuals wishing to provide private lessons outside traditional educational institutions. This license is available to: 

• Registered teachers in public or private schools 

• School students aged 15 to 18 

• University students 

• Employees in other sectors 

• Unemployed individuals with valid UAE residency 

Applicants must meet specific criteria, including providing proof of status (such as the latest issued certificate for students), obtaining a no-objection letter from their current employer (if applicable), and securing a certificate of good conduct. The permit is valid for two years and is issued free of charge. Applications can be submitted through MOHRE’s digital platforms. 
MOHRE.GOV.AE 

Beyond private tutoring, individuals interested in offering other part-time services, such as freelance work in sectors like media, education, or technology, must obtain a Freelance Work Permit. This permit allows residents and family-sponsored individuals to engage in part-time employment without transferring visas or altering their primary residency status. Eligibility criteria include being between 18 and 65 years old, possessing relevant qualifications or experience, and, for family-sponsored individuals, providing a no-objection certificate from their sponsor. The application process involves document preparation, submission through MOHRE or authorized typing centers, and payment of applicable fees. 

It is the responsibility of part-time service providers to ensure they have the necessary permits and comply with MOHRE regulations. Failure to obtain proper authorization may result in legal repercussions. 

Assistance and Support 
Part-time service providers or workers can seek assistance for any labor-related grievances or legal matters by contacting MOHRE’s ‘Labour Claims and Advisory Call Centre’ on the toll-free number 80084. For further assistance, individuals can also contact the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation at the Dubai Labour Office via the primary phone number: 600 590000. 

Hylpers also adheres to the UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 15 of 2020) and ensures that all transactions on the platform align with regulatory standards. Engaging in part-time services without the required permits is illegal and may result in fines or other penalties. Service providers are encouraged to obtain the appropriate authorizations to remain compliant with UAE laws, as compliance will enhance their credibility and reliability on the platform. Non-compliance is at the provider’s own risk, and service seekers should be cautious when hiring unverified providers. 

7. Payment and Online Regulations

Hylpers facilitates secure online payments through Telr, ensuring compliance with UAE E-Commerce Law. Service seekers are charged a 20% convenience fee and a 5% VAT, while service providers are solely responsible for setting their rates. Both service seekers and providers must abide by Telr’s terms and conditions and privacy policy, available at https://telr.com/terms-and-condition, https://telr.com/privacy-policy. 

Fixed Rates Policy: Service providers must offer fixed rates for their services and specify the number of hours that their rate covers. Service seekers must review and confirm the offered service before booking. 

8. VAT and Taxation

Hylpers complies with UAE tax regulations and may charge VAT on services provided, where applicable. Service providers are responsible for their tax compliance, including VAT obligations. 

9. Handling of Orders, Cancellations, and Refunds

Service Seekers may cancel their orders up to a maximum of 60 minutes before the scheduled booking. If a cancellation occurs less than 60 minutes prior to the booking, the full-service amount will be charged to the service seeker. 

Service Providers must also cancel no later than 60 minutes before the confirmed booking. If a cancellation occurs within this 60-minute window, the provider will receive a negative review and a strike. Providers are allowed a maximum of three strikes; upon receiving the third strike, their account will be permanently deactivated. 

Hylpers will monitor the frequency of cancellations by service providers. Repeated failures to deliver services without proper cancellation may result in penalties or account suspension, in addition to the strike system. 

10. Dispute Resolution and Jurisdiction

Hylpers offers a Dispute Resolution Center. If unresolved, disputes will be subject to UAE courts. Arbitration is an option in compliance with the UAE Arbitration Law (Federal Law No. 6 of 2018). 

11. Limitation of Liability

Hylpers is not liable for damages or losses arising from platform use or the quality of services provided by independent contractors.
