I&J Agency Partner Terms
These Partner Terms govern participation in the I&J Agency Referral Partner Program. They apply in addition to the I&J Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Version 1.0Effective: July 19, 2026Last updated: July 19, 2026
Important: Please read these Partner Terms carefully. Program participation begins only when you accept these Partner Terms through the private acceptance link provided by I&J after your application is approved. Submitting the public application form does not create a partnership. We recommend reviewing these terms with your own legal and tax advisors.
1. Program eligibility and approval
The I&J Referral Partner Program (the "Program") is offered by IJ Agency, LLC doing business as I&J Agency ("I&J", "we", "us"). Participation is open to legitimate US-based businesses and professionals whose services complement I&J and is subject to approval. I&J may accept, decline, suspend, or remove any partner at its discretion, including where a conflict of interest, reputational concern, or fit issue is identified. Submitting an application does not create a partnership; participation begins only after the applicant accepts these Partner Terms through the private acceptance link provided by I&J.2. Non-exclusive, independent relationship
The Program is non-exclusive. Partners are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, joint venturers, franchisees, or legal representatives of I&J. Nothing in these Partner Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, or joint-venture relationship, and neither party may bind the other or hold itself out as authorized to do so.3. Definition of a qualified referral
A "Qualified Referral" is a landscaping business that (a) has given the partner permission to be introduced to I&J; (b) is not already present in I&J's CRM, active sales process, or existing client base at the time of the introduction; (c) has not previously been submitted by another source; and (d) has a genuine interest in an eligible I&J service. I&J determines in good faith whether a referral qualifies.4. Prospect permission and privacy
Partners must obtain a prospect's permission before sharing that prospect's contact information with I&J. Partners must not share personal, confidential, or proprietary information they are not authorized to disclose. Both parties will handle prospect information in accordance with applicable law and the I&J Privacy Policy.5. Existing prospects and duplicate referrals
A referral is not eligible if the prospect is already in I&J's CRM, current sales process, or existing client base at the time of the introduction, or if the prospect has previously been submitted by another source. Where multiple submissions exist, attribution is given to the first documented Qualified Referral, as determined by I&J.6. Referral attribution
Attribution is confirmed by I&J after the introduction is received and validated. Partners should not assume attribution until confirmed in writing (including email) by I&J. Attribution decisions made by I&J in good faith are final.7. Eligible services and current reward amounts
Current fixed referral rewards for eligible services:
- Professional Website (client investment $3,495): partner reward $350.
- Growth Website (client investment $5,495): partner reward $550.
- SEO Growth Partnership ($895/month): partner reward $450.
Reward amounts and eligible services may change from time to time. The reward applicable to any given referral is the reward in effect on the date I&J accepts the referral.
8. Website payment conditions
Website referral rewards ($350 and $550) become eligible for payment after I&J has received cleared payment from the referred client and any applicable cancellation, refund, or dispute period has passed.9. Three-paid-month SEO condition
The $450 SEO Growth Partnership referral reward becomes eligible for payment after the referred client has completed three consecutive, fully paid months of the SEO Growth Partnership. Missed, refunded, disputed, or unpaid months restart or invalidate this condition at I&J's discretion.10. Refunds, cancellations, chargebacks, and unpaid invoices
No referral reward is payable in respect of any purchase that is cancelled, refunded, disputed, charged back, or otherwise unpaid. Where a reward has already been paid and a later refund, chargeback, or non-payment occurs, I&J may recover the reward by offsetting future rewards or by other lawful means.11. Reward payment schedule
Once a referral reward has become eligible under Sections 8 or 9, I&J will issue payment within thirty (30) days, subject to Section 12 (payment method and tax documentation) and Section 13 (US tax reporting).12. Payment method and administration
Approved partners will receive payment using a method agreed in writing with I&J (for example, ACH, check, or another mutually acceptable electronic transfer). Partners are responsible for keeping their payment information current. I&J is not responsible for delays caused by inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date payment information supplied by the partner.13. US tax documentation and reporting
Where required by applicable US tax law, partners will be asked to complete IRS Form W-9 (or, for non-US persons, the applicable Form W-8) before any reward is paid. I&J may issue an IRS Form 1099 (or successor form) for reportable payments. Tax documentation is requested and collected privately after approval — never through the public partner application form. Partners are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes on referral rewards received.14. Required disclosure of compensation (FTC)
Partners must clearly and conspicuously disclose to any prospect that the partner may receive compensation if the prospect hires I&J. Partners are responsible for their own compliance with applicable endorsement, disclosure, and advertising laws and guidelines, including but not limited to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides and any state-level equivalents.15. Prohibition on spam or misleading promotion
Partners must not send unsolicited bulk communications, use purchased contact lists, or otherwise engage in unlawful marketing (including conduct that violates the CAN-SPAM Act, the TCPA, or applicable state laws). Partners must not make misleading, deceptive, or unsubstantiated claims about I&J or its services, and must not impersonate I&J or its team.17. Prohibition on guaranteeing outcomes
Partners must not guarantee or imply guarantees of search rankings, traffic, leads, revenue, timelines, or any other results. All I&J services are provided on a best-efforts basis in accordance with the applicable client agreement.18. Confidentiality and responsible use of information
Partners must treat non-public information about I&J, its clients, and its prospects as confidential and use it only for purposes of making and administering referrals under this Program. Partners must not store, resell, sublicense, or otherwise misuse referred prospect information. This obligation survives termination.19. Use of I&J's name, brand, and trademarks
Partners may accurately describe their participation in the Program and the fact that they can introduce prospects to I&J. Partners may not register domain names, social handles, or trademarks containing "I&J", "I&J Agency", or confusingly similar variants, and may not use I&J's logos or brand assets except as expressly authorized in writing.20. Program changes, suspension, and termination
I&J may change, suspend, or terminate the Program, these Partner Terms, or any partner's participation at any time and for any reason, with reasonable notice where practicable. Partners may withdraw from the Program at any time by written notice (including email) to I&J.21. Treatment of pending referrals after termination
Where a Qualified Referral has been confirmed by I&J prior to termination and subsequently satisfies all applicable payment conditions under Sections 8–11, I&J will honor the reward that was in effect when the referral was accepted, unless termination arose from a material breach of these Partner Terms.22. Indemnification
Each party (as "Indemnifying Party") will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party and its affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, and agents, from and against any third-party claims, damages, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of the Indemnifying Party's (a) breach of these Partner Terms, (b) violation of applicable law, or (c) gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the Program.23. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party will be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or relating to the Program. I&J's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Program will not exceed the total referral rewards paid or payable to the partner in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.24. Independent contractor status and taxes
Partners are independent contractors, not employees of I&J. Nothing in these Partner Terms creates an employer–employee, agency, or fiduciary relationship. Partners are solely responsible for their own business expenses, insurance, benefits, and for all federal, state, and local taxes on rewards received.25. Governing law
These Partner Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.26. Dispute resolution and venue
The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Partner Terms through informal negotiation for at least thirty (30) days. If the dispute is not resolved, the parties will attempt mediation with a neutral mediator in Johnson County, Indiana. If mediation does not resolve the dispute, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts located in Johnson County, Indiana and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. Each party waives any objection to venue in those courts. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party waives the right to a jury trial.27. Assignment
Partners may not assign or transfer these Partner Terms or their participation in the Program without I&J's prior written consent. I&J may assign these Partner Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of its assets.28. Entire agreement, severability, and waiver
These Partner Terms, together with the I&J Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Program and supersede all prior discussions and understandings on the subject. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. A failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.29. Notices, contact, effective date, and version

Email notices are deemed given on the date sent, provided no bounce or delivery failure is received.
