4. Description of the services available on the Livo Platform
Through the Livo Platform, the Company offers registered companies a technological tool that allows them to make contact in order to offer work shifts («the Shifts») and job offers («the Offers»). The Livo Platform is a meeting point where Companies requiring certain services to be performed can contact Candidates who are interested in carrying out Shifts or taking up Offers in exchange for financial compensation, on the terms agreed directly between the Company (Empresa) and the Candidates.
Companies are fully responsible for the Shifts and Offers they publish through the Livo Platform. The Company (Empresa) is directly responsible to Candidates for payment of the Shifts on the agreed terms.
Companies are aware that hiring for the Shifts and Offers published may be subject to compliance with certain administrative requirements and legal obligations for which they are responsible. It is expressly noted that hiring Candidates may entail registering them with the Régimen General de la Seguridad Social (the Spanish general social security scheme), entering into an employment contract, paying contributions, and so on. Compliance shall fall solely and exclusively under the responsibility of the Company (Empresa), which shall be fully liable for the potential consequences and penalties arising from any failure to comply.
By expressly accepting the Terms and Conditions of Use, Companies have released the Company from any liability that might arise from a failure to comply with those administrative requirements and legal obligations.
Services the Company provides to the Candidate:
- Free registration of the Candidate on the Livo Platform through the sign-up process
- Services and tools for managing their job search through the Livo Platform
- Other services the Company may create and consider to be of interest to candidates, such as advice, training, a professional network, forums, access to news, and so on
- Handling Candidates' claims in the exercise of rights to which they may be legally entitled
5. General obligations of Candidates
On signing up, Candidates undertake to make diligent use of the Livo Platform and of the services accessible through it.
Candidates may access Shifts and Offers through the means and procedures provided on the Livo Platform and exclusively for the purposes and on the terms on which they have been made available to them.
Candidates expressly undertake not to carry out any action intended to bypass or attempt to bypass the Company's intermediation throughout the process of accepting a Shift or Offer.
The Company may verify that Candidates are not attempting to bypass its intermediation and, if that is the case, may claim from the Candidate compensation for the damages caused, on any basis, including all types of overheads, industrial profit, direct and indirect costs, as well as cancel the Candidate's account.
Candidates are answerable for the truthfulness and accuracy of the data provided during the registration process. It is strictly prohibited to create false Candidate profiles or impersonate other Candidates in order to circumvent the restrictions or requirements of the Livo Platform, as well as to imitate or falsify other Candidates' affiliation.
Candidates expressly authorise the Company to contact and request employment references from their previous employers, supervisors or professional contacts, in order to verify the information provided and assess their suitability for shifts and offers. This authorisation includes the possibility of gathering information about performance, attitudes, competencies and relevant employment history. They undertake to provide, when required, the contact details of their most recent employers or of people who can give reliable professional references.
All information gathered will be treated confidentially and in accordance with current personal data protection legislation, and will be used exclusively for purposes relating to these terms and conditions.
A Candidate who has applied for a Shift must, within a maximum of 6 hours from the moment the offering Company confirms its decision to hire them, confirm acceptance of the proposal and provide the documentation and information needed to formalise their engagement.
Candidates acknowledge that:
(i) They have the professional capabilities necessary to provide the services requested, including any qualification, professional registration, licence, authorisation, insurance or permit that may be required for that purpose.
(ii) They are not subject to any incompatibility limiting or preventing their capacity to provide the services requested, such as receiving public or other benefits or allowances that are incompatible with receiving the financial compensation arising from providing the Services requested.
(iii) In the case of foreign nationals from outside the EU, they hold the necessary valid work permit in accordance with Spanish legislation.
Candidates are subject to the other obligations and prohibitions set out in the Legal Notice available on the Website.
5 bis. Work involving regular contact with Minors
For Shifts that involve providing services in regular contact with minors, Livo and/or the Company (Empresa) may, in compliance with Ley Orgánica 8/2021 of 4 June on the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents against violence, require the prior submission of a Certificado Negativo del Registro Central de Delincuentes Sexuales y de Trata de Seres Humanos (a clear certificate from the Spanish central register of sexual offenders and human trafficking), or an equivalent valid document, for all Professionals and Volunteers who are to take part in those Shifts.
Failure to provide this certificate within the required period will prevent participation in the Shift and may lead to its cancellation, as well as the temporary or permanent suspension of the Candidate's profile on the Livo Platform, in accordance with section 12.
The Candidate undertakes to provide an up-to-date copy of that certificate when requested and expressly authorises the Company to gather and/or verify, directly or through the Company (Empresa), the information strictly necessary to check its validity, all in accordance with applicable personal data protection legislation.
6. Obligations of the Company
The Company is not answerable for the truthfulness and accuracy of the Shifts that Companies offer through the features enabled on the Livo Platform.
Notwithstanding this, the Company undertakes to verify, with the means available to it and without prejudice to the personal and direct liability of Companies:
- The truthfulness of the Offers and Shifts published
- Compliance with the administrative requirements and legal obligations borne by Companies, in particular those relating to registration with the Régimen General de la Seguridad Social, entering into an employment contract and paying contributions
7. Procedure for accessing Shifts and Offers
Candidates may view the Shifts published by companies. Candidates must complete the Shift application form. Once the hiring process has been completed with one of the Candidates who applied, the Shift is deemed assigned.
In the case of Offers, candidates must complete the application. Once the process of completing the application for the Offer has finished, the Company (Empresa) will select candidates and make contact to move forward with the selection process, according to its own criteria and timescales.
8. Financial conditions

10. Exclusion of warranties and liability
The Company excludes any type of liability, generally, for the truthfulness, completeness, accuracy, lawfulness and/or reliability of the information published by Candidates on the Livo Platform.

11. Closing an account
Candidates may leave the Livo Platform at any time by completing the account closure form. Closure entails the cancellation of the Candidate's account and the loss of access to the services and features of the Livo Platform.

(ii) Failure to meet work commitments

This measure is adopted where the seriousness of the facts makes it impossible to maintain the professional relationship within the environment governed by the Livo Platform.
Any of the conduct described may lead to warnings, penalties or the temporary or permanent blocking of the Candidate's account on the Livo Platform, depending on the seriousness of the breach and/or how often it is repeated.
In all the above cases, the Company will assume no liability towards the Candidate for the suspension or cancellation of access decided by the Company using the Livo Platform.
