Guilds Painting Inc. offers a Referral Program that enables individuals and organizations (“Referrers”) to earn commissions for introducing projects that result in signed agreements and completed work with Guilds Painting. Participation in this program is voluntary and subject to these Terms.
The program is structured around three tiers. At the Bronze Tier, which is available immediately upon making a first qualifying referral, participants earn a commission of 2.5% on each referred project. Once cumulative referred projects reach a total value of $50,000, the Referrer advances to the Silver Tier, where the commission increases to 3% per project. At $150,000 in cumulative referred projects, the Gold Tier is unlocked, offering a 3.5% commission per project.
To qualify, the referred customer must sign a written agreement with Guilds Painting, and the project must be completed and paid in full. Referrers must also provide enough information for Guilds Painting to reasonably verify and track the referral.
Commissions are calculated based on the net contract value of the completed project, excluding taxes, discounts, and refunds. Payments are made within a commercially reasonable time after the referred customer has paid in full. Referrers are solely responsible for any taxes applicable to the commissions they receive.
Guilds Painting reserves the right to verify referrals, withhold payment in cases of suspected fraud or abuse, and to decline referrals that violate these Terms or involve unethical, misleading, or unlawful conduct. We may also modify or discontinue the Referral Program, including its commission rates and tier thresholds, at any time by posting updated Terms on the Website.
Referrers participate in this program as independent parties. Nothing in these Terms or in the operation of the Referral Program creates or should be construed as creating an employment, franchise, agency, or joint venture relationship between a Referrer and Guilds Painting.
