Article I — Commission Structure

The Terms Are Simple.

§ 1.1

Base Referral Commission

Partners earn $40 per confirmed residential job and $120 per confirmed commercial job referred through the Shield program. Commission is triggered upon job completion and payment collection by the operator.

$40 residential · $120 commercial
§ 1.2

Volume Bonus Tiers

Partners who refer 5 or more jobs in a calendar month earn a 15% bonus on all commissions that month. Partners who refer 12 or more jobs in a calendar month earn a 25% bonus. Bonuses are calculated and applied at month close.

+25% at 12 referrals/month
§ 1.3

Recurring Customer Credit

When a referred customer books a second job within 12 months, the referring partner receives a $20 recurring credit — no additional action required. This applies indefinitely for the life of the customer relationship.

$20 recurring · no action required
§ 1.4

Rate Lock Guarantee

Commission rates are locked at the time of enrollment and guaranteed for 24 calendar months. Shield may increase rates during this period but will never reduce them for enrolled partners.
