Terms and Conditions for Services

 

1. Applicability

These terms and conditions for services (these “Terms”) are the only terms that govern the provision of services by Jewish Outreach Works dba Chabad Concierge (“Chabad Concierge”) to you (“Customer”). The accompanying order confirmation (the “Order Confirmation”) and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations, and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Order Confirmation, these Terms shall govern, unless the Order Confirmation expressly states that the terms and conditions of the Order Confirmation shall control. These Terms prevail over any of Customer’s general terms and conditions regardless of whether or when Customer has submitted its request for proposal, order, or such terms. Provision of services to Customer does not constitute acceptance of any of Customer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.

2. Services

2.a Chabad Concierge shall provide the services to Customer as described below (the “Services”) in accordance with these Terms.

Virtual Assistant (VA) Services (also referred to as “Delegation Kickstart” or “Legacy VA Services”): Chabad Concierge shall assign a qualified Virtual Assistant (the “Virtual Assistant”) to perform such services as may be required by the Customer, as mutually discussed and agreed upon. The Chabad Concierge Virtual Assistant shall carry out their designated responsibilities in alignment with the needs of the Customer and the scope of the engagement.

Executive Partner Services: For Customers seeking strategic, high-level support, Chabad Concierge offers the Executive Partner tier. This service includes a premium dedicated Virtual Assistant working in close coordination with a Relationship Manager to deliver integrated operational support. Engagement terms for Executive Partner Services are governed by the commitment structure outlined in Section 4.

Flex Project VA Services: Chabad Concierge also offers project-specific services (“Flex Project VA Services”) provided by seasoned Virtual Assistants. These services include, but are not limited to, website updates, CRM updates, data input, data cleanup, donation receipt processing, QuickBooks cleanup, and creation of Canva graphics templates. This service is project-based, meaning it is intended for specific tasks rather than ongoing personal assistance.

2.b Statement of Work and Proposal SupremacySpecific onboarding procedures, service expectations, deliverables, and timelines may be outlined in a separate signed proposal or Statement of Work (SOW) provided to the Customer. In the event of any conflict between the Terms herein and the provisions of a signed proposal or SOW, the terms of the signed proposal or SOW shall prevail for that engagement.

2.c Virtual Assistants assigned by Chabad Concierge to Customer shall perform their designated duties on any business day, specifically Monday through Friday, unless agreed upon otherwise.

2.d Customer agrees not to contact Virtual Assistants except for the purpose of performing work on behalf of the organization he or she represents or for personal tasks. Virtual Assistants may only serve Customers affiliated with the same organization and shall not be engaged for tasks related to different organizations.

3. Performance

This section applies to all Chabad Concierge service tiers, including the Executive Partner and Delegation Kickstart packages. Customers enrolled in legacy service arrangements shall remain subject to the time-off and billing expectations applicable at the time of their engagement, unless and until such terms are formally updated by Chabad Concierge.

a. Time Off EntitlementVirtual Assistants (VAs) are entitled to up to ten (10) paid vacation days per calendar year, in addition to major Jewish holidays (excluding Chol Hamoed). Vacation days are prorated for part-time schedules and reflect the VA’s usual daily shift duration. This entitlement applies to all standard VA service tiers, including Executive Partner and Delegation Kickstart.

Clients on legacy packages are not subject to this vacation day policy and shall continue under the time-off expectations previously in place, unless and until updated by Chabad Concierge.

Vacation days are granted on a calendar-year basis and do not roll over into subsequent years. Unused vacation days do not accrue beyond the calendar year in which they are granted and have no cash value.

b. Time-Off Communication Practices

Chabad Concierge endeavors to uphold professional human resource standards regarding time-off communication. Virtual Assistants are instructed to provide timely advance notice of all planned absences and to coordinate such absences with both the Customer and Chabad Concierge to ensure minimal disruption to workflow and service continuity. While Chabad Concierge takes reasonable measures to ensure that Virtual Assistants follow proper communication protocols, the Customer acknowledges that unplanned or unnotified absences (e.g., due to illness) may occasionally occur.

c. Substitute VA Option

If the Customer wishes to maintain service continuity during a VA’s approved time off, Chabad Concierge may offer a substitute VA, subject to availability and operational feasibility. Substitute VAs will be billed at a standard rate of thirteen dollars and fifty cents ($13.50) per hour for the same weekly hours as the original VA’s service plan. For example, if the regular VA is scheduled for thirty (30) hours per week, the substitute will be billed for thirty (30) hours at the substitute rate.

Substitute VA coverage is offered as a value-added service and is not guaranteed. The Customer acknowledges that substitute VAs may not possess the same level of familiarity with the Customer’s systems or workflow as the assigned VA, and expectations should be appropriately aligned to reflect the nature of temporary coverage.

d. Absences Beyond Standard Time Off

If a Virtual Assistant takes time off beyond their designated vacation allowance, and no substitute VA was agreed upon and provided, Chabad Concierge will not bill the Customer for the unworked hours. Additionally, hours missed due to planned or unplanned leaves will not be added to a Virtual Assistant’s work hours upon return, unless mutually agreed upon between the Virtual Assistant and the Customer. Any agreements regarding makeup hours shall be communicated and documented accordingly.

e. Flex Project VA Services

Flex Project services will reasonably commence within 24–48 hours of receiving clear instructions via WhatsApp or another designated channel. Hours purchased under the Flex Project VA Services expire one (1) year from the date of purchase.

4. Engagement Terms and Termination

Chabad Concierge offers multiple tiers of Virtual Assistant (VA) services, each with distinct engagement structures and termination requirements:

a. Executive PartnerThe Executive Partner tier entails a strategic, high-commitment engagement designed to deliver deeper outcomes through close collaboration. By enrolling, the Customer agrees to a minimum commitment of three (3) consecutive months. During this period:

No refunds will be issued for early termination within the initial three-month term.

After the initial commitment, the engagement converts to a month-to-month basis.

Termination of the service requires thirty (30) days’ written notice following the initial term.

This structure supports the continuity and strategic effectiveness of the Executive Partner relationship.

b. Delegation Kickstart and Legacy VA ServicesFor the Delegation Kickstart tier, customers must provide thirty (30) days’ written notice to cancel or suspend services.

Clients on legacy VA packages (those who entered prior to the implementation of updated terms) may continue to cancel with fourteen (14) days’ written notice, until such time as these Terms and Conditions are otherwise updated by Chabad Concierge.

c. General ProvisionsTermination notices must be submitted in writing and acknowledged by Chabad Concierge to be considered valid.Chabad Concierge reserves the right to suspend or terminate services for cause, including non-payment, breach of terms, or inappropriate conduct.Termination or disruption due to circumstances beyond either party’s reasonable control shall be governed by Section 17 (Force Majeure).

5. Customer’s Obligations

Customer shall cooperate with Chabad Concierge in all matters relating to the Services and provide necessary access to Customer’s systems for the purposes of performing the Services. Additionally, for Flex Project VA Services, Customers must provide clear and detailed instructions to the VAs for the tasks requested under Flex Project VA Services via the agreed upon channel of communication.

6. Customer’s Acts or Omissions

If Chabad Concierge’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Customer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants, or employees, Chabad Concierge shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained or incurred by Customer, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.

7. Change Orders

Virtual Assistant (VA) Services (including Delegation Kickstart and Legacy VA Services):If either party wishes to change the scope or performance of the Services, it shall submit details of the requested change to the other party in writing.

Customers on the Delegation Kickstart tier must provide thirty (30) days’ written notice to downgrade, suspend, or cancel services.

Legacy clients (those enrolled prior to the implementation of updated Terms) may continue to provide fourteen (14) days’ written notice unless and until these Terms are otherwise updated by Chabad Concierge.

Executive Partner Services:Changes to the scope of work may be requested in writing and will be considered based on available capacity and alignment. Cancellations are governed by the terms outlined in Section 4. Following the three-month minimum commitment, Customers must provide thirty (30) days’ written notice to cancel. Upgrades to Executive Partner services (e.g., additional hours or expanded scope) may be implemented immediately upon mutual agreement.If a VA switch becomes necessary for an Executive Partner engagement, Chabad Concierge will manage the transition internally, including onboarding, training, and integration of the new VA into the existing structure. The Customer acknowledges that successful onboarding requires collaboration and time investment on their part — including providing role-specific information, clear expectations, and appropriate access. A smooth transition is best achieved through joint collaboration between Chabad Concierge and the Customer.

Flex Project VA Services:Flex Project hours are purchased as needed, with a minimum purchase of ten (10) hours. These hours are non-refundable and expire one (1) year after purchase.

Virtual Assistants shall keep a timesheet of hours worked, which will serve as a reference for billing.

Substitute VA Services: 

When a substitute Virtual Assistant is provided during a primary VA’s approved absence, billing will reflect a rate of thirteen dollars and fifty cents ($13.50) per hour for the same weekly allocation as the Customer’s existing package. This charge applies separately and will be processed under the same billing schedule as regular services.

Flex Project VA Services:Flex Project VA Services are billed at $25 per hour, with a minimum package of ten (10) hours ($250). Customers who purchase a package of twenty (20) hours will receive an additional two (2) hours at no extra cost. These hours are non-refundable and expire one (1) year from the date of purchase.

17. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable or deemed in default for any failure or delay in performance under this Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the impacted party (“Force Majeure Events”).

The Impacted Party shall use diligent efforts to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event and resume full performance as promptly as practicable.
