9.Duty of welfare policy
With Care being one of core values here at Osome, the welfare of all our employees is our primary concern, because we recognise our colleagues are the most valuable at Osome. Without their health and wellbeing, it is not possible to achieve our company’s mission.
We are committed to fostering and nurturing an equitable, diverse, safe and respectful working environment. One where we actively promote a transparent and inclusive culture, where anyone can ask questions or report a concern without fear of consequence. This is why any form of discrimination, violence or harassment will not be tolerated.
These terms apply to everyone, including our customers, partners, suppliers and anyone else who is an extension of our organisation, and therefore are expected to consistently act in accordance with our Care value.
We have a zero tolerance policy towards any form of violence or threatening behaviour at work. Just as we also believe that our customers and partners have a right to be heard, understood and respected, we also believe that our staff and colleagues have the right to work in a safe environment, free from any abuse or harm caused by others. Therefore, we expect all customers and partners to treat our employees with respect at all times.
We class the following unacceptable:
Aggressive or abusive behaviour; and unreasonable demands and/or unreasonable levels of contact.
We also consider inflammatory statements, remarks of a discriminatory nature and unsubstantiated allegations, to be abusive behaviour.
- This includes, racial harassment (race, skin colour, ancestry, origin country, or citizenship), gender-based harassment, religious harassment, ability-based harassment, sexual orientation-based Harassment and age based harassment
Aggressive or abusive behaviour includes language (whether verbal or written) that may cause our employees to feel afraid, threatened or abused and may include threats, personal verbal abuse, derogatory remarks, demeaning, personality attacks and rudeness.
We understand that people can become angry when they feel that matters about which they feel strongly are not being dealt with as they wish. If that anger escalates into aggression or abuse towards our employees, we consider that unacceptable. Where a customer or partner is aggressive or abusive, we may decide to:
Advise the customer or partners that we consider their actions offensive, unnecessary and unhelpful and ask them to stop
End telephone calls and meetings
Terminate all direct contact with the customer or partner
Before taking any action, we will provide the customer or partner an opportunity to modify their behaviour. If the behaviour continues, we will take action as stated above.

You acknowledge and agree that, unless Osome is notified of any contrary intention in writing, Your subscription for a subscription-based Service shall continue and You thereby authorise us to make debits pursuant to Clause 9.1 for the applicable subscription fee for each renewal period.

Should You be aware of payments that may become outstanding, You shall inform Osome at the earliest. Whether any extension of payment is granted shall be left entirely to the purview of Osome. Otherwise, any outstanding payments owed shall be subject to a late payment interest of 18% per annum until full payment is received.
