Partner Terms

These Partner Terms (“Terms”) govern your participation in the Renovation Bridge referral partner program (the “Program”). By signing up, you agree to these Terms. Renovation Bridge LLC (“Renovation Bridge,” “we,” “us”) operates the Program. You are the “Partner.”

1. Eligibility

To participate, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old.
• Reside in or do business in the United States.
• Hold any professional license required for your role (e.g., real estate license, architecture license, mortgage loan originator NMLS registration, contractor license) and remain in good standing with the relevant licensing body.
• Comply with all rules of any professional association you belong to (including AIA, ASID, NAR, NAMB, and similar bodies).

You are an independent party. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, franchise, joint venture, or partnership relationship between you and Renovation Bridge.

2. How commissions work

Renovation Bridge earns a commission from contractors when a renovation project we matched closes (the “Project Commission”). Partners earn fifteen percent (15%) of the Project Commission, not 15% of the project value.

Commissions are payable only when (a) the homeowner you referred signs a contract with a Renovation Bridge contractor partner, and (b) Renovation Bridge has actually collected the underlying Project Commission from the contractor. If a project does not close, or if our underlying commission is not collected, no Partner commission is owed.

We pay Partner commissions by direct deposit (preferred) or check within 30 days of our receipt of the underlying Project Commission. Your dashboard shows the live status of every commission. Commissions are stated and paid in U.S. dollars.

Partners may elect, on a per-referral basis, one of three payout options: (1) take the 15% as personal income, (2) apply the 15% as a credit on the homeowner's project, or (3) split it between the two. Partners are responsible for ensuring the option they pick complies with their professional and licensing obligations.

3. What counts as a referral

A “Referral” is a homeowner you submit through your Partner dashboard or through a Partner-attributed link, who has not previously been in contact with Renovation Bridge or signed with one of our contractor partners. Renovation Bridge has sole and reasonable discretion to determine whether a homeowner qualifies as your Referral.

A Referral remains attributed to you for twelve (12) months from the date of submission. If the homeowner closes a project within that window, you earn the Partner commission. After twelve months, attribution lapses.

4. Homeowner consent and data

When you submit a Referral, you represent and warrant that the homeowner has agreed to be contacted by Renovation Bridge about renovation services. This is a hard requirement under federal and California consumer-contact rules (TCPA, CAN-SPAM, CCPA), and it's your responsibility, not ours.

Renovation Bridge handles homeowner contact information under our Privacy Policy. You may not use any homeowner data submitted to us for any purpose other than the referral itself.

5. Partner conduct

You agree that you will not:

• Misrepresent your relationship with Renovation Bridge, our services, our pricing, or any contractor in our network.
• Send spam, automated messages, scraped lists, or any unsolicited communications on our behalf.
• Engage in any conduct that violates RESPA, TCPA, CAN-SPAM, the FTC Endorsement Guides, or any other applicable law.
• Use the Partner Portal to access or attempt to access information that is not your own.
• Resell or redistribute Partner-only information (including commission rates).

Real estate licensees, mortgage loan originators, and other regulated professionals are responsible for ensuring their participation in the Program complies with their specific regulatory obligations, including (where applicable) the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA).

6. Taxes

Partner commissions are taxable income. You are responsible for reporting and paying all applicable taxes. Renovation Bridge will issue a Form 1099-NEC to any Partner who earns six hundred dollars ($600) or more in a calendar year, and may require a completed IRS Form W-9 before issuing your first payment.

7. Termination

Either party may terminate participation in the Program at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. Termination does not affect commissions already earned on referrals that close before the termination date. Renovation Bridge may also suspend or terminate Partners who breach these Terms, misrepresent referrals, or engage in conduct that exposes Renovation Bridge or homeowners to risk.

8. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Renovation Bridge introduces homeowners to independent, vetted contractors. We do not perform renovation work and we are not party to the construction contract between homeowner and contractor. We make no warranty about the outcome, schedule, cost, or quality of any renovation project. The Partner Portal and the Program are provided “as is.”

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Renovation Bridge's total liability to a Partner for any claim arising from or related to the Program will not exceed the total commissions paid to that Partner in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Renovation Bridge will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or lost business opportunities, even if advised of the possibility.

9. Confidentiality

During and after your participation in the Program, you agree not to disclose any non-public information you receive about Renovation Bridge, our contractors, our commission structure, or other Partners. This survives termination.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available at this page, with the effective date at the top. Material changes will be communicated by email and through the Partner Portal at least fourteen (14) days before they take effect. Continued participation in the Program after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Program will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Alameda County, California. Each party consents to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
