Terms of Use - fix246

Effective date: 28.08.2026

These Terms of Use apply to the use of fix246, available at https://fix246.com.

fix246 is operated by Lars Kreis, trading as fix246. Full legal provider information is available in our Legal Notice.

1. About fix246

fix246 is an online platform focused on Barbados. It helps people, property owners, landlords, Airbnb hosts, hotels, guest houses, property managers, offices, companies and other users find, present, save and contact Service Providers for home, property, repair, maintenance, cleaning, gardening, installation and related property services.

fix246 is built as a bridge between Germany and Barbados. The platform combines a German approach to structure, reliability, transparency, careful digital operations and strong privacy standards with a clear local focus on Barbados, its communities, its properties and the practical needs of people living, working, investing or managing property on the island.

Our aim is to bring together the best of both worlds: a well-organised digital platform with clear rules and responsible platform management, and a Barbados-focused service network that understands that reliable local help matters when something needs fixing.

fix246 provides digital platform tools. fix246 does not itself provide repair, maintenance, construction, cleaning, gardening, plumbing, electrical, roofing, security, pest control, property management or other physical services. Unless expressly stated otherwise, fix246 is not a party to any contract for work or services agreed between users.

2. Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using fix246, creating an account, posting a Job Request, adding a Service Offering, contacting another user, using Availability, using the Service Network, using the Opportunity Hub, using the External Opportunity Radar, saving a listing or user as a Favorite, creating a Search Alert, viewing Smart Matching results, using My Social Showcase, submitting an advertising enquiry or otherwise using the platform, you agree to these Terms of Use.

This also includes selecting or displaying a voluntary payment-method indicator such as “Using BiMPay”, where that feature is available.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use fix246.

3. Important role of fix246

fix246 is a platform for presenting, finding, organising and contacting users. It is not an employer, contractor, subcontractor, agent, broker, insurer, escrow provider, payment provider, licensing authority, building authority, emergency service or guarantee provider.

Contracts for actual work, services, prices, timing, payment, quality, warranties, insurance, permits, licences, safety arrangements and completion are agreed directly between the relevant users.

Users are responsible for checking whether another user is suitable, qualified, licensed, insured and available for the relevant job.

fix246 may provide digital tools, guides, prompts, labels, filters, availability displays, saved-provider tools or opportunity tracking tools. These tools are intended to support users, but they do not replace the user’s own judgement, checks, legal obligations or direct communication.

4. No emergency service

fix246 is not an emergency response platform. Users should not rely on fix246 for urgent, life-threatening, dangerous or emergency situations.

If there is an immediate risk to life, health, safety, property or public security, users should contact the appropriate emergency services, authorities, property manager, insurer or qualified emergency professional directly.

5. User roles on fix246

fix246 may be used by different types of users, including:

visitors who browse publicly available pages;
registered users who create an account;
Job Request posters who post work they need help with;
Service Providers who publish Service Offerings;
Business Service Providers who offer services independently or on behalf of an authorised business;
Commercial Clients who use fix246 mainly to request services for business, rental, professional, property-management or organisational purposes;
advertisers, training providers or institutions who submit advertising, training or listing enquiries.

These roles may overlap. A registered user may both request services and offer services, where appropriate.

Commercial Client and Business Service Provider are account-type descriptions created and used by fix246. They are not government-issued registrations, legal business forms, professional licences or official classifications under Barbados law.

The Service Network and Opportunity Hub are available to registered users regardless of their Account Type, subject to these Terms, technical availability and any reasonable platform restrictions.

fix246 may change, add, limit or remove user roles and features from time to time.

6. Eligibility

You may use fix246 only if you are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into binding agreements.

If you use fix246 on behalf of a business, company, institution, property owner, landlord, hotel, guest house, property manager or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to act on behalf of that organisation.

7. Accounts and registration

To use certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information, including your username, email address, password and, where applicable, profile details, business name, account type and Service Offering information.

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure. You must notify fix246 if you believe that your account has been accessed without permission.

fix246 may offer sign-up or sign-in through third-party services such as Google. If you use a third-party login, the third-party provider may process data according to its own terms and privacy policy.

fix246 may use email verification, registration confirmation, security checks and spam prevention tools to protect the platform.

fix246 may refuse, suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information, misuse the platform, violate these Terms or create legal, security, safety or reputational risks.

8. Account Types and free use

fix246 currently offers different Account Types, including Standard, Commercial Client and Business Service Provider accounts.

A Standard account is the default Account Type and may be used to post Job Requests, create Service Offerings, contact other users and use the platform tools made available to registered users.

A Commercial Client account is intended for a person or organisation that uses fix246 mainly to request services for business, rental, professional, property-management or organisational purposes rather than solely for personal, domestic or household purposes.

A Business Service Provider account is intended for a self-employed individual, sole trader, independent contractor, partnership, company or authorised business representative that offers services to clients as part of a trade, business, profession or other commercial activity.

Account Types may affect how a user, Job Request or Service Offering is described or labelled on fix246. For example, a Job Request may be marked as Commercial or a Service Offering may be shown as being provided by a Business Service Provider.

All Account Types currently offered by fix246 are free. Selecting a Commercial Client or Business Service Provider Account Type does not create a payment obligation.

By selecting an Account Type, you confirm that the information you provide about how you use fix246 is accurate and not misleading. You must update your Account Type or account information if it no longer reflects how you use the platform.

If you select Commercial Client and act on behalf of a property owner, landlord, company, hotel, guest house, property manager or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to act on its behalf.

If you select Business Service Provider, you confirm that you offer services independently or on behalf of an authorised business and that you are legally entitled to provide the services you offer. You remain responsible for any business registrations, tax registrations, licences, permits, qualifications, insurance, immigration status or work permissions required for your activities.

Selecting an Account Type does not mean that fix246 has verified your identity, business registration, legal status, qualifications, licences, insurance, tax status or permission to work. It is also not a conclusive legal determination of whether you act as a consumer or as a business in any particular transaction.

fix246 may request supporting information, correct or remove inaccurate labels, change an Account Type or restrict an account where information appears to be false, misleading or inconsistent with these Terms.

9. Job Requests

A Job Request allows a user to explain what needs to be done, where the work is needed and when help is required.

If you post a Job Request, you are responsible for making sure that:

the information is accurate, clear and lawful;
you are authorised to request the work at the relevant property or location;
the requested work is legal and safe;
you do not request work that requires illegal activity or unauthorised access;
you do not mislead Service Providers about the scope, timing, urgency, budget, location or conditions of the job;
you provide relevant safety information where necessary;
you do not include unnecessary sensitive personal information in public fields;
you do not publish private addresses or access details unless this is appropriate, authorised and necessary.

Posting a Job Request does not guarantee that you will receive responses, quotes, availability or completed work.

If exact property access details, private addresses, alarm codes, key arrangements or other sensitive information are needed, they should generally be shared only through appropriate private communication and only with users you have chosen to engage with.

10. Service Offerings

A Service Offering allows a Service Provider to describe the type of work they offer, where they work, which categories apply and when they may be available.

If you publish a Service Offering, you are responsible for making sure that:

your information is accurate, truthful and not misleading;
you are able and legally permitted to provide the services you advertise;
you hold any licences, permits, certifications, insurance, immigration or work permissions, professional qualifications or business registrations required for the services you offer;
you do not claim qualifications, experience, availability, business status or insurance that you do not have;
you comply with applicable Barbados laws and any other laws that apply to your services;
you keep your Service Offering, contact details, business details, service categories, Parish information, availability and opening hours up to date;
your images, descriptions, business names, logos, links and social media references do not infringe third-party rights.

fix246 does not verify every Service Provider, qualification, licence, insurance policy, business registration, legal permission or claim unless expressly stated.

11. Service categories

fix246 may organise Service Offerings and Job Requests by categories such as air conditioning, appliance services, carpentry, cleaning, electrical, gardening, masonry, painting, pest control, plumbing, pool and water services, property maintenance, roofing, security and access, solar and energy, tiling, waste removal and other related categories.

Categories are intended to help users find relevant services. They do not represent a certification, licence, endorsement or guarantee by fix246.

Users remain responsible for checking whether a category is appropriate for their work or service.

12. Availability and opening hours

fix246 may allow Service Providers to show availability for upcoming dates and, for certain account types, regular opening hours.

Availability information is provided by the Service Provider and is intended as a helpful indication only. It is not a guarantee that the Service Provider will accept, start or complete a job at that time.

Users should always confirm availability directly before relying on it.

fix246 may automatically display availability filters, calendar views or availability labels based on information entered by Service Providers.

Availability may appear in Service Offerings, listing cards, listing pages, Service Network views, search filters, the Opportunity Hub or other platform areas.

13. Parish and location information

fix246 may allow Job Requests and Service Offerings to include Parish or other location information in Barbados.

Location and Parish information is provided by users and may be used to help others understand where a job is needed or where a Service Provider offers services.

Users must not post private addresses, access information or sensitive location information unless they are authorised to do so and it is necessary for the purpose of the request or service.

Parish information is informational only and may not always reflect an exact work location or full service area.

14. Messaging and communication

fix246 may provide messaging, reply or contact functions to help users communicate.

Users are responsible for their own communications. You must not send spam, harassment, threats, abusive messages, discriminatory content, illegal offers, misleading information or content that violates these Terms.

fix246 does not routinely monitor or review private messages. Messages that are still stored may be accessed by authorised persons only where technically necessary to respond to a specific support request, investigate reported misuse or a security incident, comply with a legal obligation, or enforce these Terms.

fix246 is not responsible for resolving contractual or payment disputes between users. Users should retain any information they may require for their own records.

fix246 does not guarantee that messages will be delivered, read, answered or acted upon.

Private messages exchanged through fix246 are normally stored in the active platform database for 180 days after they are sent. After this period, they are automatically deleted from the active messaging system. Copies may remain temporarily in routine backups until the applicable backup cycle has expired. Messages may be retained for longer where this is necessary to investigate reported misuse, protect the platform or comply with legal obligations.

15. Service Network

The Service Network is available to registered users and helps them keep saved Service Providers and Service Offerings organised in one place, browse saved services by category, check displayed availability and contact providers when work is needed.

Saving a Service Provider or Service Offering does not create an employment, agency, exclusivity, partnership, guarantee, endorsement or preferred-supplier relationship with fix246. It is only a platform feature that helps users organise their own contacts and preferences.

Availability shown inside the Service Network is informational only and must be confirmed directly with the Service Provider.

fix246 does not guarantee that a saved Service Provider will remain available, active, suitable, insured, licensed or willing to accept a job.

16. Opportunity Hub

The Opportunity Hub is available to registered users and may allow them to save Job Requests, mark interest, update statuses, plan next actions, keep notes and organise potential work opportunities and client connections.

The Opportunity Hub is an organisational tool only. It does not guarantee that a saved Job Request will lead to paid work, a contract, a response or a successful opportunity.

Users are responsible for the notes, statuses and follow-up information they add to the Opportunity Hub. They must not store unlawful, abusive, discriminatory or unnecessary sensitive information.

The Opportunity Hub is intended to help users organise opportunities. It does not create a CRM, agency, brokerage, employment or sales relationship between fix246 and the user.

16A. External Opportunity Radar

External Opportunity Radar is an optional feature within the Opportunity Hub. It may identify selected public opportunities that were posted outside fix246, including public posts available through supported external sources such as Threads and public government procurement sources.

For Threads, Radar may search recent public posts using relevant Barbados and property-service search terms. It uses a local rule-based process to assess whether a public post appears to concern a Barbados property-service opportunity and which Area of Work may be relevant. Only approved, currently active opportunities may be shown.

Radar does not access private content, direct messages or non-public Threads content. It does not publish, reply to, like, follow, share or send messages on Threads or any other external source on behalf of fix246, a Service Provider or another user.

External Opportunity Radar is activated for a user by the Areas of Work associated with that user’s published Service Offerings. New active source information may be shown only within the private Opportunity Hub of eligible logged-in Service Providers whose published Service Offerings match at least one relevant Area of Work. A provider may save an item to their own private Opportunity Hub, remove it or mark it as not relevant. A saved item may remain visible only to that same user for its limited retention period while the underlying opportunity remains active.

An external opportunity is not a Job Request posted on fix246. The original author did not post it to fix246, may not know of fix246, and has not necessarily invited contact from a particular Service Provider. fix246 does not verify the identity, intention, availability, authority, location, budget, safety, lawfulness or current status of the original author or source content.

Radar results are informational leads only. They are not recommendations, endorsements, guarantees, invitations to contract or confirmation that an opportunity remains open. A Service Provider must use “View original” to review the current source before deciding whether and how to make contact.

Public source content may be changed, deleted, made non-public, become unavailable or be removed from Radar at any time. fix246 may suppress, archive or remove an external opportunity where the original source is no longer publicly available, the opportunity has expired, a data-deletion or rights request is received, the content appears inaccurate or unsafe, or removal is otherwise reasonably necessary.

If a user chooses to contact an original author through an external platform, the user is responsible for complying with that platform’s terms, applicable law and reasonable standards of professional conduct. The user must not send spam, harassment, repeated unsolicited messages or unrelated marketing, and must not use Radar information for profiling, resale, bulk collection or any purpose unrelated to assessing the displayed opportunity.

17. Guides, assistants and automated helper tools

fix246 may provide guides, prompts, assistants, pre-filled text suggestions, category guidance, title guidance, service posting guidance, availability tools, matching tools or other automated or semi-automated assistance features.

These tools are provided for convenience only. They may help users structure, find or organise Job Requests, Service Offerings, availability, opening hours, profile information or other platform content.

Users remain responsible for reviewing, correcting and approving all information before publishing, sending or relying on it.

fix246 does not guarantee that suggested wording, categories, descriptions, titles, availability entries, matching results or other generated or assisted information will be complete, accurate, legally compliant or suitable for a particular purpose.

Automated tools do not replace the user’s own judgement, direct communication, verification, professional advice or legal obligations.

17A. Search Alerts

Registered users may be able to create Search Alerts for new Service Offerings or Job Requests that match selected categories and filters.

Depending on the available feature, a Search Alert may use information such as service category, type of user or Service Provider, Parish, availability and other selected listing filters.

Search Alerts are optional platform notifications requested by the user. Emails relating to an active Search Alert are functional service messages and are not a guarantee that every potentially relevant listing will be identified.

A Search Alert normally searches for newly published matching listings. A later change to an existing listing, including a change to availability, description or profile information, may not result in a new alert.

Matching and notification depend on the information supplied by users, the selected filters, the technical availability of the platform and the successful delivery of email. Alerts may be delayed, incomplete, duplicated or not delivered.

fix246 does not guarantee that:

every relevant listing will trigger an alert;
every alert will be delivered or read;
a notified listing will remain available or unchanged;
the listing or user will be suitable, genuine, qualified, licensed or responsive; or
an alert will result in a response, contract, service or business opportunity.

Users are responsible for reviewing alerted listings and carrying out their own checks before contacting or engaging another user.

fix246 may apply reasonable limits to the number, frequency, scope or duration of Search Alerts and may modify or discontinue the feature.

17B. Smart Matching

Smart Matching is an optional informational tool that compares Job Requests, Service Offerings and relevant profile or listing information.

Depending on the information available, Smart Matching may consider factors such as:

service category or Area of Work;
listing headline and description;
requested or offered type of Service Provider;
Parish or service area;
stated availability or requested timing; and
other relevant listing or profile information.

The category or Area of Work is used to identify potentially relevant candidates. Other available factors may then be used to assess and order the results. A stronger visible match does not mean that fix246 has inspected, approved or verified the user or listing.

Smart Matching results are automatically generated estimates. They are not professional assessments, recommendations, certifications, eligibility decisions, quality rankings or guarantees.

A result does not guarantee that:

the user or listing information is accurate;
the parties are compatible;
a Service Provider is qualified, licensed, insured or available;
a Job Request is genuine, lawful, funded or safe;
the parties will respond to each other;
a contract will be agreed; or
work will be completed successfully.

Incomplete, inaccurate, outdated or differently worded information may affect whether a listing appears and how it is ranked.

Smart Matching does not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects for users. Users remain responsible for deciding whom to contact, save, engage or contract with.

fix246 may change the matching factors, their relative importance, the candidate pool, result limits, labels or technical method where reasonably necessary to improve relevance, security, performance or platform operation.

Sponsored or advertised placements, where displayed, are identified separately and do not represent verification or endorsement by fix246.

17C. Favorites and saved listings

Registered users may save Service Offerings, Job Requests, Service Providers or other listings as Favorites or add them to organisational areas such as the Service Network or Opportunity Hub.

Favorites and saved listings are private organisational tools for the relevant account unless expressly stated otherwise.

Saving a listing does not:

create an endorsement or recommendation by fix246;
create a preferred-provider, agency, employment or partnership relationship;
notify the owner unless the platform expressly indicates this;
reserve the Service Provider or Job Request;
guarantee availability, suitability or a response; or
create a contract between users.

A saved listing may later be changed, suspended, removed, expire or become unavailable.

Users are responsible for reviewing the current listing and confirming all relevant information directly before relying on it.

18. Advertising and sponsored placements

fix246 may offer advertising or promotional placements, including on the home page, Job Requests pages, My Guide, Skills & Certifications, Service Provider category pages or other parts of the platform.

Submitting an advertising enquiry is non-binding. A placement is not confirmed until fix246 has accepted it in writing and any agreed commercial terms have been confirmed.

Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that their adverts, claims, images, logos, training descriptions, offers and landing pages are accurate, lawful and do not infringe third-party rights.

fix246 may refuse, edit, pause or remove advertisements or sponsored placements that are misleading, unlawful, inappropriate, low quality, harmful to users or inconsistent with the purpose of the platform.

Where legally required or appropriate, fix246 may label advertising or promotional placements as advertising, sponsored, featured, promoted or similar.

Sponsored or featured placement does not mean that fix246 verifies, guarantees or endorses the advertiser, Service Provider, institution, training provider, product or service.

fix246 may record first-party technical performance information relating to advertising and sponsored placements. This may include the relevant campaign, placement, page type, broad device category, number of impressions, number of clicks and calculated click-through rate.

This information may be used to operate, evaluate and report on advertising placements. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, advertising statistics are indicative only. They may be affected by repeated visits, automated traffic, browser settings, caching, ad blockers, technical errors or other circumstances and are not independently audited.

fix246 does not guarantee any minimum number of impressions, clicks, enquiries, leads, customers, sales or other results unless a specific guarantee has been expressly agreed in writing.

If a campaign receives materially less exposure than forecast because of a fix246 outage or a technical delivery problem, fix246 may extend the campaign at no additional cost.

By supplying advertising materials, the advertiser confirms that it has the necessary rights to use them and grants fix246 a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, display, resize, crop, format and technically adapt the materials as reasonably necessary for the agreed advertising placement. Material changes to the meaning or claims of an advertisement require the advertiser’s approval.

Advertising, sponsored or featured placement may affect visibility only within the relevant advertising or promotional areas.

Unless expressly and clearly stated otherwise, payment for advertising does not improve a listing’s Smart Matching score and does not mean that the advertiser, user or listing has been verified or recommended by fix246.

19. User content

Users may submit or publish content including usernames, profile information, business names, descriptions, Job Requests, Service Offerings, images, availability, opening hours, Parish information, messages, notes, social links, website links, Social Showcase selections, advertising enquiries and other content.

You retain ownership of content that you create and submit to fix246.

You grant fix246 a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, format, resize, technically adapt, publish and make available that content to the extent reasonably necessary to:

operate and provide the platform;
display your public profile or listings;
provide the features you select;
maintain backups and platform security;
investigate misuse or comply with legal obligations; and
promote fix246 or your publicly available listing without materially changing the meaning of your content.

This licence does not transfer ownership of your content to fix246.

The licence normally ends when the relevant content or account is deleted, except where:

temporary copies remain in routine backups;
continued retention is required by law;
the content is needed to investigate or document misuse;
the content has been anonymised or aggregated; or
the content has already been used in lawful platform materials that cannot reasonably be recalled.

You confirm that you have all rights, permissions and authority needed to submit your content and allow fix246 to use it as described in these Terms.

Your content must not violate any law, contract, copyright, trademark, privacy right, image right, confidentiality obligation or other third-party right.

External social media content selected through My Social Showcase remains content of the original creator or relevant rights holder. The general licence in this section does not transfer ownership of that external content to fix246 or to the user who selected it.

20. Images, logos and media

If you upload images, logos or other media, you confirm that you have the right to use them and to allow fix246 to display them.

You must not upload images that are unlawful, misleading, offensive, discriminatory, sexually explicit, violent, infringing, unsafe or unrelated to the relevant listing, profile, service or enquiry.

fix246 may remove images or media that violate these Terms, create legal risk or reduce the quality and trustworthiness of the platform.

21. Social links and external links

Users may be able to add links to websites, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram or other external profiles.

Users are responsible for the accuracy and legality of any external links they provide.

fix246 is not responsible for third-party websites, social media pages, messages, external content, external offers or communication that takes place outside the platform.

fix246 may remove links that appear unsafe, misleading, unlawful, irrelevant, spam-like or inconsistent with the purpose of the platform.

21A. My Social Showcase and external social media content

My Social Showcase allows eligible users to select public posts from supported social media platforms and display them in connection with their own Job Requests or Service Offerings.

Supported platforms may currently include Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. fix246 may add, limit or remove supported platforms depending on technical, legal or platform requirements.

No connection between the user’s fix246 account and their social media account is required. Users normally add a public post by submitting its public URL.

To prepare and display a Social Showcase entry, fix246 may retrieve and store publicly available information associated with the submitted post, including:

the social media platform;
the public post URL;
the original creator or account name;
the creator’s public profile URL;
a public thumbnail or preview image;
a public caption, title or description;
the type of media; and
a technical URL used to display or link to the content.

The availability and accuracy of this information depend on the relevant social media platform and the original post.

You may only add a post where:

the post is lawfully and publicly available;
you own the content, have permission to feature it, or its public linking or embedding is otherwise permitted;
the post is relevant to the associated listing;
featuring the post does not violate applicable law or third-party rights; and
the post does not create a false or misleading impression.

You must not feature another person’s work in a way that falsely suggests that:

you created the content;
you performed the work shown;
the original creator works for or is connected with you;
the original creator recommends or endorses you; or
a commercial, professional or official relationship exists where this is not the case.

Where a post does not show your own work, you must not describe or present it as your own project, customer work, result, portfolio item or professional reference.

Attribution to the original creator is required. Attribution does not itself mean that the original creator has approved the appearance of the post on fix246.

Depending on the platform and technical availability, fix246 may display a preview, an externally hosted image, an embedded player or a link to the original post.

Social media platforms may change, restrict, remove or block their content, previews or embedding functions at any time. fix246 does not guarantee that an external post will remain available, display correctly or continue to be supported.

When a visitor chooses to load or open Social Showcase content, the visitor’s browser may connect directly to the relevant social media platform. The external provider may process technical information and use cookies or similar technologies under its own terms and privacy policy. Further information is provided in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

External posts, creators, accounts and social media platforms are not controlled by fix246. Their appearance in a Social Showcase does not constitute verification, approval, partnership or endorsement by fix246.

fix246 may reject, deactivate or remove a Social Showcase entry where the content:

is no longer publicly available;
cannot be attributed to an identifiable original creator;
appears misleading or unrelated;
infringes or may infringe third-party rights;
creates a legal, security or reputational risk;
violates these Terms; or
is no longer technically supported.

22. Prohibited content and conduct

You must not use fix246 to:

post false, misleading or deceptive information;
offer or request illegal services;
offer regulated services without required licences, permits or qualifications;
infringe copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights or other rights;
post abusive, threatening, hateful, discriminatory, sexually explicit, exploitative or harassing content;
post content that exposes private information without permission;
impersonate another person or business;
scrape, copy, harvest or misuse platform data;
interfere with the security or operation of the platform;
upload malware or harmful code;
bypass access controls, paid features or account restrictions;
send spam or unsolicited mass messages;
use fix246 for scams, fraud, phishing, fake jobs, fake services or money laundering;
manipulate search results, availability, ratings, listings or user trust signals;
use the platform in a way that creates safety risks for other users;
post unnecessary sensitive personal data;
misuse messaging, contact forms or advertising enquiry forms;
use automated tools to access, copy or overload the platform without permission;
feature third-party work or social media content in a way that falsely suggests that you performed, created, supplied or approved the work shown;
add private, access-restricted or unlawfully obtained social media content;
attempt to bypass platform, privacy or access restrictions relating to external content;
falsely claim verification, certification, endorsement, sponsorship or partnership by fix246 or another organisation;
misuse the name, logo, badge or payment-method indicator of BiMPay, the Central Bank of Barbados or another third party;
systematically copy, export, scrape, sell, disclose or create a database from External Opportunity Radar content;
use information from an External Opportunity Radar result to send spam, repeated unsolicited contact, harassment or unrelated marketing through Threads or another external service; or
falsely state that you accept or use a payment method that you do not actually accept or use.

23. Content moderation, reporting and review

fix246 may reject, hide, restrict, suspend, disable access to or remove content, listings, accounts, messages, advertisements, links or platform features where there are reasonable grounds to believe that they:

violate these Terms or another applicable platform rule;
are illegal or infringe third-party rights;
contain false, misleading, fraudulent or unsafe information;
create security, privacy, safety or reputational risks;
misuse platform features;
interfere with the operation of fix246; or
must be restricted under a legal or regulatory obligation.

fix246 may use manual review, technical filters, automated signals or a combination of these methods. Automated signals may help identify possible spam, fraud, harmful code, suspicious activity or other misuse, but material moderation decisions may be reviewed by a human where appropriate.

fix246 is not generally required to monitor all user content before it is published. However, fix246 may investigate content after receiving a report or otherwise becoming aware of a possible violation.

If you believe that content on fix246 is illegal, infringing, misleading, fraudulent, unsafe or otherwise violates these Terms, you may report it to:

report@fix246.com

A report should include:

a sufficiently detailed explanation of why the content is considered illegal or in breach of these Terms;
the exact URL or other information that allows the content to be located;
the reporting person’s name and email address, except where applicable law permits an anonymous report; and
a statement confirming that the report is submitted in good faith and that the information provided is accurate and complete to the best of the reporting person’s knowledge.

fix246 will review sufficiently precise and substantiated reports in a timely, diligent, objective and proportionate manner.

Where contact details have been provided, fix246 may confirm receipt of the report and inform the reporting person of the decision, where required or appropriate.

Where fix246 restricts content or an account, fix246 may provide the affected user with a statement of reasons, including the relevant facts, contractual grounds or legal basis and available options for review, except where providing this information is prohibited by law, would create a security risk or would interfere with an investigation.

An affected user may request a review of a moderation decision by contacting:

report@fix246.com

The request should identify the relevant content, account or decision and explain why the user believes that the decision should be changed.

Submitting a request for review does not guarantee that the original decision will be reversed.

fix246 may prioritise urgent reports involving immediate safety risks, fraud, unlawful activity, serious privacy violations or intellectual property infringement.

Users must not knowingly submit false, abusive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded reports or review requests. Repeated misuse of reporting or complaint functions may result in reasonable restrictions.

The contact points designated by fix246 pursuant to Articles 11 and 12 of the Digital Services Act are published in the Legal Notice.

24. Verification and user responsibility

Account Types, Commercial labels, Business Service Provider labels, profile details, business names and other user information are self-declared unless they are expressly marked as verified by fix246.

A Commercial or Business label does not confirm that a user is incorporated, registered with a government authority, registered for tax, licensed, insured, qualified or legally permitted to perform every service they offer.

fix246 may introduce optional verification tools for certain users, businesses, advertisers, Service Providers or Commercial Clients.

Unless a profile, listing, provider, advertiser, document or account is clearly marked as verified by fix246, users should assume that the relevant information has not been independently verified.

Even where fix246 performs a check, the check may be limited in scope and does not guarantee current validity, competence, quality, safety, suitability or legal compliance.

Users remain responsible for their own decisions, contracts and safety checks. Before agreeing to work, users should consider confirming identity, authority to act, experience, qualifications, licences, insurance, price, scope, timing, property access, cancellation terms, payment arrangements and any applicable legal requirements.

25. Payments between users

Unless fix246 expressly offers an integrated payment feature, payments for work or services are arranged directly between users outside the platform.

fix246 is not responsible for payment disputes, refunds, deposits, late payment, non-payment, pricing disagreements or tax treatment between users.

If fix246 introduces paid plans, paid advertising, featured placements or other paid platform services, those payments are separate from payments between Job Request posters and Service Providers.

25A. Voluntary BiMPay information

fix246 may allow users to voluntarily indicate that they use or accept BiMPay.

Where selected by the user, a “Using BiMPay” or similar indicator may appear on the user’s public profile, Service Offerings, Job Requests or other relevant platform areas.

The indicator is a voluntary and self-declared statement by the user. Unless expressly stated otherwise, it is not independently verified by fix246, BiMPay or the Central Bank of Barbados.

The indicator does not constitute:

certification or approval of the user;
verification of a BiMPay account;
confirmation that BiMPay will be accepted for every transaction;
a guarantee that a payment can or will be completed;
financial advice;
an endorsement by fix246, BiMPay or the Central Bank of Barbados; or
evidence of an official partnership unless such a partnership is expressly identified.

Users who select the indicator are responsible for keeping the information accurate and removing or updating it if they no longer use or accept BiMPay.

Any decision to use BiMPay is made independently by the relevant users after they have agreed the work, amount, recipient and payment arrangements.

The payment itself takes place entirely outside fix246.

fix246 does not:

provide payment services;
initiate, authorise, receive, hold, transfer or settle payments;
provide a wallet or BiMPay account;
access users’ BiMPay accounts;
verify account balances or payment recipients;
receive confirmation that a payment was made;
collect payment credentials, transaction references or transaction details; or
resolve payment errors, refunds, failed payments or disputes.

Users are responsible for verifying the recipient, account details, payment amount and transaction status directly through the relevant payment service before sending money.

fix246 may provide links to official BiMPay information. Such links are provided for information only and the external website or service is governed by its own terms and privacy information.

fix246 may measure and report aggregated information about the visibility and use of the voluntary BiMPay feature, as further explained in the Privacy Policy. This may include aggregate adoption figures, page views and clicks to official information. It does not include individual financial or transaction data.

26. Paid platform services

Account registration, the currently offered Account Types and the current standard access to the Service Network and Opportunity Hub are free.

A free account or free Account Type will not automatically be converted into a paid service. fix246 will not charge a user unless the user has expressly agreed to purchase the relevant paid service.

fix246 may offer separate optional paid platform services, including advertising, sponsored placements, featured listings, promotional visibility or additional premium digital tools.

The price, duration, scope, renewal terms, cancellation terms and payment terms for any optional paid service will be displayed or agreed separately before an order is placed.

Paid platform services do not guarantee leads, jobs, enquiries, business success, ranking, visibility, responses, revenue or completed work unless expressly stated in writing.

27. Taxes, invoices and legal compliance

Users are responsible for their own taxes, invoices, VAT, national insurance, business registration, work permits, professional licences, insurance and legal obligations.

Service Providers and advertisers must ensure that they comply with any applicable laws in Barbados, Germany or any other relevant jurisdiction.

fix246 does not provide tax, legal, insurance, immigration, employment, business registration or licensing advice.

28. Safety and property access

Users are responsible for arranging safe access to any property, site or workplace.

Job Request posters should disclose relevant hazards. Service Providers should assess risks before starting work and should not perform work they are not qualified, authorised or equipped to perform.

Users should be careful when arranging property access, keys, entry codes, security information, payment, deposits or meetings with other users.

fix246 is not responsible for accidents, injuries, property damage, defective work, delays, theft, loss, unsafe conditions or disputes arising from work arranged through the platform.

29. No guarantee of legality, quality or suitability

fix246 may help users find, organise and contact each other, but fix246 does not guarantee:

that a Service Provider is licensed, insured, qualified or suitable;
that a Job Request is genuine, lawful or safe;
that a user is who they claim to be;
that a Service Offering is accurate or complete;
that work will be completed properly, on time or at an agreed price;
that any user will comply with local laws, tax rules, insurance requirements or professional standards.

Users must make their own checks before entering into any agreement.

30. Intellectual property of fix246

The fix246 name, logo, design, layout, text, platform structure, custom code, guides, images, categories and other platform materials are owned by or licensed to fix246 unless otherwise stated.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, scrape, distribute, resell or exploit fix246 materials without permission, except as allowed by law or normal platform use.

31. Third-party services and external content

fix246 may use or link to third-party tools and services, including hosting providers, WordPress, HivePress, email providers, Google sign-in, Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, security services, payment-information providers, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and other technical or external service providers.

Third-party services, websites and platforms may have their own terms, privacy policies, cookie practices and availability requirements.

Where you choose to use a third-party login, open an external link, load external social media content or use a third-party payment service, your relationship with that provider is governed separately by the provider’s own terms and policies.

fix246 does not control and is not responsible for:

the continued availability of a third-party service;
changes made by the provider;
external content or statements;
third-party account restrictions;
external cookies or tracking;
payment processing performed outside fix246;
the security of an external account; or
losses caused by a third-party service, except where liability cannot legally be excluded.

A link, integration, label or technical connection does not by itself mean that fix246 and the third-party provider are partners or that either party endorses the other.

Further information about personal data and external technologies is provided in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

32. Google login and spam protection

fix246 may allow users to register or sign in using Google login.

fix246 uses Google reCAPTCHA v2 to protect account registration against spam, bots, automated abuse and fraudulent registrations.

fix246 uses Cloudflare Turnstile to protect the contact and advertising enquiry form against spam, bots and automated abuse.

These security services may process technical signals required to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated traffic. They are provided by Google and Cloudflare and may be subject to the providers’ own terms and privacy information.

Further information about the processing of personal data through these services is provided in the Privacy Policy.

33. Availability of the platform

fix246 aims to keep the platform available and useful, but does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or secure operation.

The platform may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, technical problems, hosting issues, security measures or events outside fix246’s control.

fix246 may modify, suspend or discontinue features at any time.

34. No guarantee of results

fix246 does not guarantee that:

a Job Request will receive responses;
a Service Provider will be contacted or chosen;
a user will obtain work, clients, revenue or business opportunities;
a user will find a suitable provider;
availability information will be complete or current;
content submitted by users will be accurate;
any job will be completed to a particular standard;
advertising or sponsored placement will create leads, enquiries or revenue.

35. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits fix246’s liability where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted by applicable law. This includes liability for:

intent and gross negligence;
injury to life, body or health;
fraud or fraudulent concealment;
an expressly assumed guarantee;
liability under applicable product liability law; and
any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

In cases of slight negligence, fix246 is liable only where an essential contractual obligation has been breached. An essential contractual obligation is an obligation whose performance is necessary for the proper provision of the platform and on whose performance the user may normally rely.

In such cases, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contractual relationship.

Subject to the preceding paragraphs and to the extent permitted by law, fix246 is not liable for:

acts, omissions, statements or content of users;
services or work provided by users;
the quality, safety, legality or completion of work;
prices, deposits, payments, refunds or tax treatment agreed between users;
inaccurate, incomplete or outdated listings;
a user’s decision to contact, engage or trust another user;
third-party websites, social media platforms or external services;
external content becoming unavailable;
temporary platform interruptions;
loss of business, profit, opportunity or goodwill; or
indirect or consequential loss.

fix246 is not responsible for user-generated content merely because it is stored or displayed on the platform. This does not affect any responsibility that may arise after fix246 receives sufficiently specific knowledge of unlawful content and fails to take action where required by law.

The limitations in this section also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives, agents and other persons acting on behalf of fix246.

36. User responsibility and indemnity

Users are responsible under applicable law for losses, damage and third-party claims caused by their culpable breach of these Terms, unlawful content, unlawful services or infringement of third-party rights.

If you use fix246 for business, commercial, professional or organisational purposes, you agree to indemnify fix246 against justified third-party claims to the extent that the claim results from:

content you submitted or published;
services you offered or provided;
a Job Request you posted;
an advertisement or external link you supplied;
your infringement of intellectual property, privacy or other third-party rights;
your breach of applicable law; or
your culpable breach of these Terms.

The indemnity applies only to the extent that you are responsible for the relevant circumstances.

fix246 will inform you of a relevant third-party claim within a reasonable time and will allow you to provide information and reasonable assistance in the defence of the claim.

fix246 will not agree to a settlement that imposes a direct admission or non-financial obligation on you without your reasonable consent, unless immediate action is legally required.

The indemnity does not apply to the extent that the claim was caused by fix246’s own breach, negligence or unlawful conduct.

Consumers remain responsible only to the extent provided by applicable law.

37. Privacy

The processing of personal data is explained in the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy forms part of the overall legal information for fix246 but is a separate document.

By using fix246, you acknowledge that personal data may be processed as described in the Privacy Policy.

38. Restriction, suspension and termination

fix246 may restrict individual content, listings, functions or account access where there are reasonable grounds to believe that a user:

violated these Terms or another applicable platform rule;
provided false, misleading or unlawful information;
posted or offered unlawful, unsafe or infringing content or services;
misused messaging, reporting, advertising or other platform functions;
failed to pay an agreed fee for an optional paid service;
created a security, fraud, privacy, safety or reputational risk;
repeatedly infringed the rights of others;
attempted to circumvent platform restrictions; or
must be restricted to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

The measure taken will, where reasonably possible, be proportionate to the nature, seriousness, frequency and consequences of the issue.

Depending on the circumstances, fix246 may:

issue a warning;
request correction or further information;
restrict a particular listing or feature;
temporarily suspend access;
remove content;
change or remove a misleading label; or
terminate the account.

Where required by law, fix246 will provide the affected user with a statement of reasons before or at the time the restriction or suspension takes effect.

If fix246 terminates the entire platform relationship of a business user, fix246 will normally provide at least 30 days’ advance notice and a statement of reasons.

Advance notice may not be provided where immediate action is required because of:

a legal or regulatory obligation;
an unforeseen and imminent security risk;
fraud, malware, spam or serious platform abuse;
a serious safety risk;
repeated material violations;
unlawful conduct; or
another circumstance in which immediate termination is permitted by law.

An affected user may contact dsa@fix246.com to clarify the facts or request a review.

fix246 may maintain a restriction while the review is pending where this is reasonably necessary to protect users, third parties, the platform or an ongoing investigation.

You may stop using fix246 at any time.

You may request account deletion by contacting termination@fix246.com. Account deletion remains subject to legal retention requirements, unresolved disputes, security investigations, routine backup cycles and the Privacy Policy.

39. Changes to these Terms

fix246 may update these Terms where there is a valid reason for the change.

Valid reasons may include:

changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance or court decisions;
new or changed platform features;
security, fraud-prevention or abuse-prevention requirements;
technical or operational changes;
changes to third-party services used by fix246;
clarification of existing provisions;
correction of errors or inconsistencies;
protection of users or third-party rights; or
changes to the commercial or organisational operation of fix246.

Changes must be reasonable and proportionate to the reason for the change.

The updated version will be published on the website with a new effective date.

Material changes will be communicated to affected registered users by email or another durable platform notice within a reasonable period before they take effect.

Where the Platform-to-Business Regulation applies to a business user, proposed material changes will normally be communicated at least 15 days before they take effect. A longer period may be provided where the change requires substantial technical or commercial adaptation.

The advance-notice period may not apply to:

purely editorial changes that do not alter the meaning of the Terms;
changes required immediately by law or a competent authority;
urgent measures needed to address fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other unforeseen and imminent security risks; or
another situation in which immediate implementation is legally permitted.

A user who does not accept a material change may stop using fix246 and request account deletion before the change takes effect.

Changes will not create a new payment obligation for a previously free feature unless the user has expressly agreed to purchase the relevant paid service.

Continued use after the effective date may constitute acceptance of the updated Terms only to the extent permitted by applicable law. It does not remove or restrict mandatory consumer or business-user rights.

40. Germany, Barbados and applicable legal context

fix246 is operated from Germany and focused on Barbados.

The platform is intended to combine German and European standards for structured platform operation, privacy and transparency with a practical Barbados-focused service environment.

Users who offer or request services in Barbados are responsible for complying with applicable Barbados laws, including any requirements relating to business registration, licences, work permissions, immigration status, taxes, insurance, safety and professional standards.

Users located in Germany, the European Union, Barbados or elsewhere may also be subject to additional local laws depending on their location, role and activities.

41. Governing law and jurisdiction

Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, these Terms and the platform relationship between you and fix246 are governed by the laws of Germany.

This does not affect mandatory consumer protection rights that may apply in your country of residence or in Barbados.

Contracts for actual work or services between users may be subject to Barbados law or other applicable local law, depending on the circumstances.

If you act as a consumer, mandatory consumer rights and mandatory jurisdiction rules may apply.

If you act as a business user, the place of jurisdiction may be Frankfurt am Main, Germany, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
