Contractor Agreement

1. Services Provided

• 1.1 The Company operates a digital platform that connects Clients with Contractors for home/commercial/industrial improvement and related projects.
• 1.2 Clients may submit project descriptions and photographs. The Platform may generate preliminary, non-binding estimates using artificial intelligence ("AI Estimates"). These AI Estimates are for reference only and do not create binding offers or pricing.
• 1.3 Contractors may review Client submissions and AI Estimates to provide formal itemized bids ("Contractor Bids").
• 1.4 A "Match" occurs when a Client selects a Contractor based on reviews, prior work, and Contractor Bid. At that point, the Contractor shall conduct a site visit to confirm or adjust the bid. Any material changes must be disclosed to the Client and confirmed through the Platform before work begins.
• 1.5 The Company does not perform construction, repair, or related services, and is not a party to agreements between Clients and Contractors.

2. Brokerage Fees

• 2.1 Fee Trigger. Brokerage fees are due only when a Client places a deposit on a job originated through the Platform.
• 2.2 Payment Deadline. Brokerage fees are due within ten (10) days of deposit or initial payment from the Client, whichever occurs first.

• 2.4 Refunds. If the Contractor refunds the Client, the Company will refund/credit the brokerage fee proportionally to the amount refunded. Proof of refund must be provided.
• 2.5 Change Orders. If the project expands, additional brokerage fees apply only to the incremental increase.
• 2.6 Payments. Fees are payable via PayPal or Zelle at deposit; reconciled at job close.

3. Job Documentation

• 3.1 Contractor shall provide accurate, itemized bids through the Platform that detail materials, labor, and other cost components.
• 3.2 Contractor shall maintain accurate quotes, contracts, invoices, and change orders for all projects originated through the Platform.
• 3.3 The Company may request copies of such documentation at any time for verifying Cumulative Job Value (CJV), confirming refunds or change orders, or auditing compliance.
• 3.4 Failure to provide requested documentation within a reasonable time may result in suspension of Platform access and/or fees assessed based on reasonable estimates by the Company.

4. Anti-Gaming & Fairness Rules

• 4.1 Aggregation. Work for the same Client, address, and trade/scope within 60 days is treated as one job for fee purposes.
• 4.2 Pilot Waivers. During the pilot, the first two completed projects in each fee category are waived. Splitting projects does not create additional waivers.
• 4.3 Reconciliation. If a job grows, previously paid fees are credited, and only the incremental difference is due.
• 4.4 Non-Circumvention. For 180 days after first contact through the Platform, you may not bypass the Platform for the same scope/address. Doing so subjects you to the applicable brokerage fee and possible termination.
• 4.5 Disputes. Contractors may dispute a fee within 7 days by providing Job ID, scope, and supporting documentation. The Company will review and adjust if warranted.

5. Contractor Obligations

• 5.1 Provide accurate trade, license, insurance, and service area information.
• 5.2 Submit itemized Contractor Bids consistent with the project description and AI Estimate provided, acknowledging that discrepancies may be reviewed during site visits.
• 5.3 Respond promptly to job notifications and honor accepted Matches.
• 5.4 Communicate early with Clients if you cannot fulfill a project or if significant scope adjustments arise from a site visit.
• 5.5 Participate in at least one feedback session during the pilot period.

6. Limitation of Liability

• The Company is not liable for project performance, safety, property damage, payment disputes, or any direct/indirect damages related to Contractor services.

7. Indemnification

• You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from claims, damages, or expenses arising from your work or conduct, including disputes with Clients.

8. Dispute Resolution

• Any disputes with the Company shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Flagler County, Florida, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Class actions and jury trials are waived.

9. Termination

• The Company may suspend or terminate Contractor accounts for nonpayment, circumvention, failure to provide documentation, misrepresentation, or violation of this Agreement.

10. Governing Law
