Our agency assumes no liability for the correctness and completeness of the available information. International Aupair Fischer reserves the right to add to and, if necessary, to modify the provided information.

International Aupair Fischer is not responsible for any false statements made by the Au pair to the host family. The agency also assumes no liability for any damage caused by the Au pair to the host family’s property, as well as for the premature termination of the employment contract.

If the latter should occur and the Au pair ceases all continuation of his/her daily duties, the onus lies solely on the Au pair.
