How the Platform Works for Caddies

2. A Caddie wishing to use the Platform to advertise their availability to provide caddying services must first register as a “caddie” on the Application and set up their Caddie Profile. A Caddie Profile must include the following details:
  1. Name;

Address;
Date of birth;
Mobile number;
Email address
Profile image
Name of golf course they intend to caddie at

Please note Caddies must be at least 13 years old to register a Caddie Profile with Handicaddie.

Each Caddie available for hire at a particular Golf Club is listed on the Platform by way of their Caddie Profile and Golf Clubs will book a Caddie (or caddies) in accordance with clause 4 below.
The information disclosed within the Caddie Profile is based entirely on the information submitted by the Caddie. It is the responsibility of the Caddie to ensure the information supplied is accurate, complete and correct. You will indemnify and hold harmless Handicaddie for any inaccuracies or misrepresentations made by you on your Caddie Profile.
The Caddie undertakes that they shall comply with all Applicable Laws when using the Platform and Application and when providing any caddying services on foot of any Booking (defined below) made via the Platform / Application. You further undertake to provide any caddying services with all due care, skill and ability.
The Caddie registers as a caddie with Handicaddie, creates a Caddie Profile and uses the Platform and Application entirely at their own risk and nothing in these Terms shall render the Caddie an employee, worker, agent, consultant or partner of Handicaddie and the Caddie shall not hold themselves out as such. The use of the Platform and Application by the Caddie will not constitute a contract of employment and accordingly the Caddie shall be fully responsible for and shall fully indemnify Handicaddie for and in respect of any income tax, National Insurance and social security contributions and any other liability, deduction, contribution, assessment or claim arising from or made in connection with the Caddie’s use of the Platform and/or Application. The Caddie shall further indemnify Handicaddie against all reasonable costs, expenses and any penalty, fine or interest incurred or payable by Handicaddie in connection with or in consequence of any such liability, deduction, contribution, assessment or claim.
It will be the sole responsibility of the Golfer to pay the Caddie the relevant amount for provision of the caddying services as indicated in the Caddie Profile (plus, insofar not included in the price, relevant applicable taxes, levies and fees (if applicable)) directly on the date on which the Golfer is scheduled to play at the relevant Golf Club. For the avoidance of doubt, Handicaddie, the Platform and the Application will have no obligations, responsibility or liability in relation to any payment to be made by the relevant Golfer to the Caddie (or any failure by the Golfer to make such payment) and the payment to the Caddie will not be made via the Platform or the Application.
