2. Provided service

Homie provides the User with a well-functioning appliance. Possible repairs and replacements are included in the service. The appliance is and remains the property of Homie during and after the subscription period. In the case of a pay-per-use subscription, the usage is registered via a built-in tracker. The User receives an invoice for each individual use, the price of which varies per wash cycle, depending on the selected programme and subscription type.

The services offered by Homie are still in development. Therefore it is possible that (minor) problems with washing, registering the washing cycles (if applicable) and / or payments can occur from time to time. User and Homie are aware of this and will help each other, if the above problems occur, to solve them as soon as possible.
