Providing false or misleading information may result in an enquiry, membership profile or proposed arrangement being suspended or closed.

7. Self-Employment Status

The opportunities described on this website are intended for self-employed delivery service providers.

However, describing an arrangement as self-employed does not by itself determine legal or tax status.

Status depends on: 1. The applicable written agreement 2. The actual working arrangements 3. The level of control and independence 4. Personal-service or substitution requirements 5. Financial risk 6. Other relevant legal factors

Nothing in these website terms removes any statutory right that applies under the actual circumstances.

The driver remains responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is: 1. Safe and roadworthy 2. Properly maintained 3. Suitable for the proposed services 4. Correctly taxed where applicable 5. Covered by the required insurance 6. Operated lawfully

Specific vehicle requirements may vary between opportunities and will be explained before the driver decides whether to proceed.

YSOMA-owned vans carrying client livery may only be used for services authorised by YSOMA under the relevant agreement.

They must not be used to provide delivery services for another delivery business.

The website does not guarantee that a van will be available or that any person will qualify for a lease.

Before personal information is shared for an intended introduction: 1. The driver will be informed about the proposed recipient and opportunity 2. The intended information sharing will be explained 3. The driver's agreement will be obtained where required

Insurance and operational requirements 5. Health and safety 6. Written terms with the driver 7. Payment arrangements 8. Supervision and control of its own services
