Planner Partnership
Agreement

1. Overview

This Planner Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") is between Made and Matched ("Agency") and the wedding planner applying to join our network ("Planner"). By submitting your application and checking the agreement box, you confirm you have read, understood, and agreed to all terms below.

This Agreement governs the referral relationship between the Agency and Planner, including how leads are shared, how fees are calculated, and how both parties should conduct themselves.

2. Referral Fee Structure

• The 15% fee applies to the full planning contract value, including any add-on services sold after the initial booking
• Fee is calculated on the final invoice amount, not the estimate
• If the event is cancelled, no fee is owed on refunded amounts
• Partial refunds reduce the fee proportionally
• Payment must be made via the Agency's designated invoicing method within 14 days of receiving the couple's deposit

3. Non-Circumvention Clause

Planners agree not to circumvent the Agency's referral relationship for any lead introduced through Made and Matched, for a period of 24 months from the date of introduction.

• You may not contact Agency-referred couples for future events without routing through the Agency
• You may not refer Agency-introduced couples to other agencies or networks
• Violation of this clause entitles the Agency to the full 15% fee plus reasonable legal fees
• The clause does not apply to couples you had a prior relationship with before the Agency introduction

4. Lead Delivery & Exclusivity

• The Agency will introduce you to couples who match your location, specialty, and availability
• Introductions are non-exclusive — the Agency may introduce multiple planners to the same couple at their request
• Planners must respond to introductions within 24 hours to remain in good standing
• Repeated non-responses (3+) may result in removal from the network
• The Agency does not guarantee a minimum number of referrals

5. Planner Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate, up-to-date availability and pricing information with the Agency
• Conduct yourself professionally in all communications with couples introduced by the Agency
• Hold valid business licenses and appropriate liability insurance for your jurisdiction
• Notify the Agency within 48 hours when a referred couple books your services
• Provide references or portfolio materials upon Agency request for vetting purposes

6. Agency Responsibilities

• Qualify couples before introduction to ensure they are serious, have a budget, and match your specialty
• Represent your work accurately to prospective couples using materials you provide
• Not share your contact information with third parties outside the matching process
• Provide reasonable notice (30 days) if removing you from the active network

7. Term & Termination

This Agreement remains in effect indefinitely unless terminated by either party with 30 days written notice. The non-circumvention clause survives termination for 24 months from the last introduction date. All outstanding fees owed at termination remain due and payable.

8. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, CA, before resorting to litigation.
