Collaboration Contract
Created on: 01/01/2018

Contract Between:

(1) Mario Plumbing whose registered office is at 7 Amberley Road, Bristol, BS34 6BU,
UK (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “the Company”)

(2) Luncanu Mariana, (hereinafter referred to as “you”).

1. BACKGROUND

The Company cannot always predict the exact staffing levels it will require. The Company therefore requires
casual workers because of the fluctuating demands of the business and it is entering into this contract to
record the terms on which a casual work relationship is entered into.

2. STATUS OF THIS AGREEMENT

This contract governs your engagement from time to time by the Company as a casual worker. This is not an
employment contract and does not confer any employment rights on you (other than those to which
workers are entitled). In particular, it does not create any obligation on the Company to provide work to you
and by entering into this contract you confirm your understanding that the Company makes no promise or
guarantee of a minimum level of work to you and you will work on a flexible, "as required" basis. The fact
that the Company may offer you the same hours or schedule on more than one occasion does not establish
a legal right to regular work. It is the intention of both you and the Company that there be no mutuality of
obligation between the parties at any time when you are not performing an assignment.

3. COMPANY'S DISCRETION AS TO WORK OFFERED

It is entirely at the Company's discretion whether to offer you work and it is under no obligation to provide
work to you at any time.

The Company reserves the right to give or not give work to any person at any time and is under no
obligation to give any reasons for such decisions.

4. NO PRESUMPTION OF CONTINUITY

Each offer of work by the Company which you accept shall be treated as an entirely separate and severable
engagement (an assignment). The terms of this contract shall apply to each assignment but there shall be no
relationship between the parties after the end of one assignment and before the start of any subsequent
assignment.

The fact that the Company has offered you work, or offers you work more than once, shall not confer any
legal rights on you and, in particular, should not be regarded as establishing an entitlement to regular work
or conferring continuity of employment.

As a casual worker there is no probationary period relevant to the work you undertake.

5. RIGHT TO WORK

Before offering you an assignment the Company will require certain documents from you in order to satisfy
itself that you are legally entitled to work in the UK.
You confirm that you are legally entitled to work in the UK without any additional immigration approvals
and agree to notify the Company immediately if you cease to be so entitled at any time.

6. TRAINING

During your engagement you may be asked to take part in various internal or external training courses from
time to time. As a small business we do not have a set list of courses that must be completed or that are
available to all staff, however we will continue to review training needs with individuals as their time with
the business progresses. Please discuss any training requests with your manager in the first instance.

7. ARRANGEMENTS FOR WORK

The Company may offer you work from time to time as Secretary Assistant and you will usually report to the
Manager. The precise description and nature of your work may be varied with each assignment and you may
be required to carry out other duties as necessary to meet business needs. You will be informed of the
requirements at the start of each assignment.

If the Company wants to offer you any work it will contact you via telephone or email, providing you with
details of the work available. You are under no obligation to accept any work offered by the Company at any
time.

If you accept an assignment, the Company will expect you to complete the assignment. If you are not able
to start or complete the assignment for any reason, you must inform the Company immediately.

The Company reserves the right to cancel and terminate an assignment at any time for operational reasons.
You will be paid for all work done during the assignment up to the time it is terminated.

In order to assist the Company in organising work, please complete the personal information sheet attached
to this contract and return to the undersigned within 7 days of receipt. It is your responsibility to inform the
Company of any changes to these details.

8. PLACE OF WORK

During each assignment, your place of work will typically be 7 Amberley Road,
Bristol, BS34 6BU. You will be informed of the relevant place of work for each assignment.
9. HOURS OF WORK

You have no normal hours of work and you will be required to work on an "as required" basis. Your hours
and days will vary according to the needs of the Company and your availability to work, but since the
company is open 7 days a week you could be required to work at any time between 00:01am and 11:59pm.

The Company will notify you of the days and hours that you will be required to work in advance of each
assignment. The Company is under no obligation to provide you with work, or to provide you with a
minimum number of hours work each day or week.

You will be entitled to an unpaid lunch break of at least 30 minutes where your assignment requires you to
work more than six hours in any one day. The specific details of breaks will be given for each assignment.

10. WORKING TIME OPT-OUT

Please complete the attached form to confirm whether you wish to opt out of the 48-hour limit on a week's
work. If you do not opt out, the Company must ensure that it does not offer you work which would result in
you working for more than 48 hours in any week and you must keep the Company informed of the hours
that you work for third parties so that it can comply with this obligation.
11. SICKNESS

If you have accepted an offer of work but are subsequently unable to work the hours agreed due to sickness,
you must notify the Company of the reason for your absence as soon as possible but no later than your start
time on the first day of absence.

If you satisfy the qualifying conditions laid down by law, you will be entitled to receive statutory sick pay
(SSP) at the prevailing rate in respect of any period of sickness or injury during an assignment, but you will
not be entitled to any other payments from the Company during such period. Your qualifying days for SSP
purposes will be agreed with you taking into consideration the days on which you were due to work in the
week you fall sick or if no qualifying days can be agreed between us, your qualifying day will be Wednesday.
